PS4 to be Released in 2012

Gameplayer Writes:
One thing about the PlayStation 3 is that it's a bit lifeless. Its user interface is cold, sterile and lacking in character. It's utilitarian and in many ways sucks much of the fun out of being a gamer. On top of this, Sony has been quite slow to implement features from its competitors that are, quite frankly, absolutely necessary if you wish to foster any kind of warmth or loyalty from your customers.

...im assuming 2012 would be a safe bet. Maybe even 2010.

But anyways, ill be looking forward to my xbox 720, in the year 2015!

:)

[thebudgetgamer]

even if it did i looks amazing were the 360 was maxed out by a multi plat lol

:)

[Raoh]

i'm still waiting for the xbox 360 to get out of hardware beta testing.

[Blademask]

The Budget Gamer gets 1 point.

[CryofSilence]

I still don't think Uncharted is maxing it out. Killzone only used 60% of the SPUs (Naughty Dog claims to use 100%), but that doesn't mean they used 60% of the PS3 power. There are other components involved.

[Jamegohanssj5]

ROFLMAO! Beta Testing

TGSI

[thor]

Sigh...

This "maxing out the console" stuff is nonsense.

Of course the developers are going to push THEIR ENGINE until it can't handle any more objects on-screen. That's what happened with Red Faction. A game can quite easily use all the POWER of a console - but the algorithms and methods used might not be the most EFFICIENT ones. The 3D artists, animators and texture artists might not be as good as those in another studio. That's what's going to make the difference, that and time spent on polishing the game. This is part of the reason that MGS4 looked so good.

The dev from Red Faction was only boasting about how their game used all of the 360's RAM. Wahey. It doesn't mean graphics aren't going to get any better.

[meepmoopmeep]

if that above controller (article image) doesn't come out for the PS4
that means Sony lied again.

i would love that controller.

[HDgamer]

Breakfast I bet you wonder why you have two bubbles and opinions so oblivious to reality that medication couldn't cure ignorance.

[Covenant]

Y'all need to stop taking Breakfast so seriously...I mean, 50 disagrees? He's just trying to add humor and break up a potential flame war.

Hence, the smiley.

[Mozilla89]

Sounds about right, I'd expect a new xbox in late 2011. I wonder if they're gonna rush for that head start again.

[Obama]

Logic - 1
Breakfast - 0

[Itrguy001]

i really do hope that u did give your account to someone else man u have gone down so far and fast in the eyes of many ppl

[JOEdANGEL]

Who effin cares about maxing out anyway? The Xbox was better graphically than PS2 from day one yet the PS2 outsold it more than 5 to 1. Cripes look at Persona 4 just coming out. That game is obviously dated, yet people still like it.

What I'm trying to say is that the games themselves, not just the graphics is what sells a system.

[Graphics Whore]

Nah, Breakfast knows what he's doing.

[jammy_70]

but they said killzone 2 was coming out in 2007....if you get me....

[SL1M DADDY]

I'm using the LBP theme!

As for the article, it is simple silly to speculate and doing so is just proving once again that we have another site that muddies up the interwebs with silly fud and inconsistencies.

[Saint Sony]

Multiplats maxin 360 out?... no wonder those multiplats do look 500% better in 360 than PS3.

[Ryudo]

This is possibly the best example of enraged nerds gone wild on the internet, Bravo!

And as for saying that multi plat maxing out the 360. Way to prove your own stupidity is all I can say. It used all the 360's RAM and guess what the PS3 and 360 have about the same amount r-tards.

[trancefreak]

next gen doesnt happen until sony says it does :)

[Breakfast]

Nice job paying $600 for a last gen system.

:)

[thebudgetgamer]

and almost eveything about the 360 is last gen except horse power

:)

[trancefreak]

It was and my nvidia 8800gtx was $620 for the pc. Best purchases ever.

[chanto23]

Xbox 360.... DVD
.... no blu-tooth wireless
.... internet browser included...NOTTTT
.... built-in Wi-Fi...NEGATIVE
.... 2 AA batteries inside the controller...CHECK....
.... HDMI 1.3...hummm i don't think so
.... old school disk tray...YOU BET!!!!

i'm tired of pointing out stuff...you guy guys keep it going...

[Man_of_the_year]

8 million console lead over the PS3...Check

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

last time i checked u just slap on motion controls to last gen hardware and you'd have trouble supplying stores trying to keep up with the demands and dominate this console generation

[chewy317]

8 million rrods check.

[gametheory]

Nice job for paying a yearly fee for a service that doesn't work.

:)

I pay for that AND for a "last gen" system that was 600. Everyone wins except me! =(

[Man_of_the_year]

What a pathetic attempt at being whity. If you were going to make that comment you should have said "9,240,000 mil RROD" Check....because if the 33% failure rate is still accurate - then 33% of 28 mil would be 9,240,000. But leave it to a Droid to not come up with a whity response.

You = Fail

@ gametheory - i pay for XBL and it works fine for me. Love it. Much better then the "free" service i get with PSN. If the PSN was like XBL - i would pay for that too - but you get what you pay for.

[Bloodwar]

used for 162 dollars. I have to install in this weekend once I get my new power supply. I just hope it works and I wasn't sent a broken one.

[Scottama]

Except Mangina_of_the_year, you n0bhead, he was being witty as he was simply recycling figures YOU produced. Humour is quite often not quite based on reality.

But nice job pointing out that the RROD problem is a bigger one that we thought ;-)
Real slick there, Holmes!

[big shadow]

for some reason I get goosebumps every time I see that picture above.

[Bathyj]

I know, its creepy ay?

Its like a DS3 with boils.

[ultimolu]

I hear ya dude. o_o

[evilmonkey501]

its strange, yet desirable, kinda like a girl with 3 boobs...

[Sibs]

And how exactly can one use a controller with so many buttons? Very carefully...

[Panthers]

2012 is the apocalypse and we will all have radioactive radiation give us extra fingers...

duh

The PS4 would be a fitting end to this world lol.

[InMyOpinion]

PS5 to be released in 2020!

Xbox 1080 to be released in 2018!

Wii 4 to be released in 2032!

All of a sudden I feel like Hiphopgamer...

[ToastyMcNibbles]

lmao you forgot to add question marks in there jenzo...it makes for a more compelling headline

[chanto23]

But that was some funny sh1t...

[tda-danny]

I ripped on ya yesterday, but props for that sir!

+bubbles

[ultimolu]

Lulz.

Have a bubble from me as well.

[likedamaster]

"" lmao you forgot to add question marks in there jenzo ""

Indeed.

[InMyOpinion]

Bubbles back to everyone!?

[mercenarie]

SONY will try to recuperate losses and build the PS3 install base. I highly doubt the system will be released in 2012, it's more likely were going to hear about the plan to build a new Playstation rather then it's release.

Lets look at the reasons gameplayer has listed to merit a PS4.

"Trophy implementation has been schizophrenic, with gamers unsure whether the titles that they buy will contain support for the addictive little blighters." - gameplayer

First and foremost, we all read a article that was posted months ago regarding the mandatory trophy feature on every game in the works for 2009. SO let's not cry about it until the end of 09.

"There’s also the fact that the PS3 included game installs to the HDD from launch." - gameplayer

We can avoid the hefty installations if the developers were more like Naughty Dog and Guerrilla Games. Personally to me its not a huge problem, considering it takes equal time or longer to install a game on the PC. For those whining about the amount of free space left, i suggest you go out and purchase a larger hard drive. We all know that the future of gaming on PS3 and 360 will be more games *stand alone and DLC* movies, music, purchasable through the store.

They also mention a redesign of the PS six axis controller, just in time for the supposed armageddon/end of the world. Luckily for us, this design will only work after we transform into hideous beasts.

[Rhoic]

Exactly.. since Sony is as you said, still trying to get out of their losses, they would only shoot themselves in the foot by launching another console. Not to mention lose just about the entire fan base for making them buy the PS3.

[360RRODFIX]

Hate hate PS3, but you can't stop it, no one can! Muahahahahha!!!!

[pippoppow]

PS4 coming out soon, PS3 on last legs, Dry 09 gaming lineup, In last place because it has too many features, etc. PS3 is looking to have the superior 09, so now comes out all the negative biased opinions flooding the Net. The PS3's 09 lineup IS looking very formidable, isn't it?!

[Unicron]

In this thread - People will argue over an article that is ENTIRELY based on useless speculation! Hurray! This is indeed newsworthy!

Tomorrow - Why Wii 2 will come with Nipple Shock Action Controllers! Fun for the whole family!

Thursday - Join us for a report on how the Xbox 721 suffers from the dreaded CRIMSON OVAL OF DOOM, and an amazing 88% failure rate!

/sarcasm.

Hey...aren't you late for a dinner with Galactus?

[Cajun Chicken]

I fail to agree with anything in that articles sypnopsis.

[Fruit Loops]

bull$h!t articles

[OGharryjoysticks]

Sony said 10 years.

[elexdc]

10 years is how long they support a system, not how long it'll be till the next one comes out.

[Lumbo]

not 10 years till the next console *facepalm* 10 years lifetime for the product. PS2 will still be supported in 2010 , resulting in a total minimum support time of 10 years (2000- 2010)

Normally you see the next gen released 5 years into the lifetime of the "old" system. PS1 released around 1995, PS2 released in 2000 and the PS3 was supposed to release in 2005, but was delayed a year due to the delay in BluRay diode production that was not planned in the original timeline. Therefor the release of the PS4 would also be delayed, i.e. to 2011 (instead of 2010) or more likely to 2012 ...

[Batzi]

Totally agree with elexdc.

[GiantEnemyLobster]

Thats like saying the Dreamcast 2 is going to come out someday. Just won't happen because the Dreamcast along with Sega flopped, just like Sony and the PS3 are soon to do.

[Surfman]

or maybe you could just shut your mouth?

[geda]

seriously, lobster, go f*** yourself. you used to be funny, but now you're just trying to upset people.

[Elvfam511]

.

[Magic_The_Celt]

See, that would only make sense if the dreamcast HAD got to Dreamcast 3 and then flopped

Idiot

Yeah, there is going to be a PS4 :) and PS3 isnt going to die in 2009 (i f*cking love this new one, man i got so many faces to laugh in come 201)

[Oner]

.

[GiantEnemyLobster]

You know Sega has had previous consoles before the Dreamcast, correct? Just because they weren't called the dreamcast doesn't mean they weren't gaming consoles.

idiot

[PotNoodle]

Microsoft brought out another xbox did they not?

[TheOutsider]

Don't be mad just because your [email protected]#[email protected]# a$$ system will be rotting this year because it failed to give you 1 good game to play! ha ha your a punk A$$ with CRABS!!

[Mc187]

funny stuff

[Bathyj]

So now even the interface, which is the best I've ever seen and is incredibly easy to use, sucks the fun out of gaming.

Riiiight? Anything else? The black finish reminds you of piano lessons when you were a kid, and you now hate piano?

Maybe the concave shape looks too much like an aeroplane wing and your dad died in a planecrash? Evil Sony.

Free online, reminds you of a free coupon you got from a guy in a chicken suit, but it turned out to be expired and you had to fight him on 3 separate occassions?

God, this is getting beyond pathetic. I almost wish I couldn't read.

[likedamaster]

The best you've ever seen? You mean, "the best you've ever seen from the PSP, exactly the same." Shouldn't have been in a console too. If I agree with anything in this article it's the lack of a console interface for the PS3. Is that the best Sony could do for an interface on such an expensive console... copy the psp?

Before you spew anti this anti that I was just explaining why I disagree. No hit & run here.

[Bathyj]

Hey I have no problem with you disagreeing, all I ask is that you consider my meaning.

For starters I have no problem with them copying the XMB from the PSP if it works well. Hell I wish my Bravia had it instead of the clunky menus it has now. I'm a, if it aint broke dont fix it kind of guy, but I still like refinement to better a good concept.

Second, even if you're not a fan of the XMB, my point was, Is it sucking the fun out of gaming? A pretty harsh assessment of a graphic interface dont you think.

If I had to pick something that was sucking the fun out of gaming it would be fanboys and the media, bunch of FKN Gloom merchants.

[evilmonkey501]

is used in tv's and a/v processors as well....actually almost exclusively in their high end gear

[rockleex]

Especially if you have a Sony Vaio, it would most likely come with a media browser that resembled the XMB but was 3D instead. I think it was even called the Cross Media Bar too, or something really similar.

They basically refined that idea and got the XMB for the PSP.

But even the PlayStation controller's looks has remained the same
