Here's What a Developer's PlayStation 4 Looks Like

The cat may already be out of the bag, but for many months gizmodo didn't know what the PS4 looked like. Now, gizmodo know what the retail version will look, but what about the developer box Sony hid during the big reveal and on Jimmy Fallon? Well, here's an exclusive image gizmodo acquired of some developer boxes that were used at E3.

Just looks like a rack mount computer. Which it basically is. I like the tape labels on the machine... ghettofied out of necessity.

kingPoS3932d ago (Edited 3932d ago )

Except they don't sell rack mounted computers like that with those kind of specs.

The average consumer can't buy PS4 dev kits.

AndrewLB3925d ago

KingPoS- Correct. No manufacturer of rackmount systems currently sells anything as slow as the PS4.

I do like how this image looks like it was taken by a pervert hiding in the closet.

i guess because you've known something for 10 years, everyone in the world knows it too.

Mounce3932d ago

Is there a need to be so sassy? lol

mushroomwig3932d ago

No but you still don't expect old news to make the headlines again would you?

psyxon3932d ago

@mounce sassy? please stop.

@mushroomwig yeah, i do. because not everyone stays on N4G and IGN all day every day to read every single article that pops up.

MidnytRain3932d ago

@psyxon

So? That's no one's fault. You don't just keep reprinting news because some people may have missed it. It ceases to become "news."

SecondSon3932d ago

Well psyxon, we are not going to change every English dictionary around the world based on your definition of what 'news' should mean.

So lets just all agree this is not 'News' 4 Gamers and just a minor inconvenient mistake caused by the democratic nature of the N4G approval system.

I love when people come and comment on N4G, get some negative comments back, bitch about N4G not being a real news site, bitch about people with low IQs, and then say "I'm going back to <whatever>"; it shows how pathetic you are.

how can you know this for months when this kit was used at e3?
lol

mushroomwig3932d ago

Because the dev kit pictures were leaked way back in Feb.

Prcko3932d ago

that feb kit is old one,this one is new

Ju3931d ago (Edited 3931d ago )

Is exactly the same. Have been around since beginning of the year.

mrmancs3932d ago

This the new dev kit or the old? I'm confused now. :-)

Serg3932d ago

I've seen the devkit on Steve Sinclairs (Creative director on Warframe, Digital Extremes) in a video they released about the recent Warframe update 9, though it was since replaced with a video showing gameplay footage instead of office space, same sound though.

Bethesda Needs to Reduce the Gaps Between New Fallout and Elder Scrolls Releases

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.

Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.

Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.

When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.

The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.

If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.

We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.

Its not just only Todd not playing ball.
Obsidian have made a name for themselves in delivering stellar RPGs, but most famous once have always been sequels/spin-offs to borrowed IPs like KOTOR 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Stick of Truth etc.
Obsidian wants to invest more in their own original IPs like Outer Worlds or Pillars of Eternity with Avowed.
Similar to what Bluepoint & inXile wants to do or Kojima is doing (i.e not involving anymore in Konami's IPs).
So yea, even if New Vegas has the most votes from 3D Fallout fans, Obsidian just wants to do their own thing, like any aspiring dev studio and MS is likely currently respecting that.
But a future Fallout game from Obsidian will surely happen. Founder Feargus Urquhart has already stated an year ago that they're eager to make a new Fallout game with Bethesda, New Vegas 2 or otherwise. Urquhart was the director of the very first 1995's Fallout game after all.
And don't forget Brian Fargo and his studio inXile, as Brian Fargo was the director of Fallout's 1988 predecessor: Wasteland

Steller RPGs? Maybe 15-20 years ago but there's been nothing Steller about Bethesda Softworks since then. Decent RPGs is about the best word you could use for Bethesda of today.

These aren't the Fallout 3 days. The graphically dated, poorly animated characters with terrible voice acting, glitches and jank don't get a free pass anymore.
