1. Full BC with PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP/PSV
2. Multi cell processors for CPU + GPU (2 in 1)
3. SSD & more ram (MS & NIN will use HDD in their next)
4. Bluray with even more space
5. Upgraded Dualshock with cool L2/R2 triggers
6. Finally An Affordable Price
7. Mozilla Firefox web browser with plugin support
8. Cross game chat

There's no way anyone can expect number 1 to happen. Certainly would be awesome but that's asking for the impossible imo.

a_squirrel4694d ago

They did it with the ps3 at launch...

Godmars2904694d ago

PS1 BC is a software emulation whereas PS2 notable titles are getting HD remakes, PSV promises cross-system integration, so more than likely Sony's chief concern will be PS3/PS4 BC.

A lager/faster BR drive, CPU/GPU should be so obvious they're not worth mentioning.

What will be the question is system architecture and development tools: Sony's not likely to repeat that mistake.

As for a browser, I think they'll go with 3rd party apps. As many sites are actively blocking and restricting it as just not playing it. That includes Youtube. Really don't know why it seems I'm the only person who actually uses the damn thing to realize such is even going on.

DaThreats4694d ago

It will be counter productive if it's BC with PSV
Development Price will go up if they make it BC with PS1/PS2 games.
Rather not have that feature in.

Pandamobile4694d ago

Shreeveera's vision of the PS4 would cost upwards of $800 for the first couple of years...

a_squirrel4694d ago (Edited 4694d ago )

@above
SSD is really expensive.

Edit: The only reason Sony would do that with SSD is to do what it did with Blu-Ray. Push the industry forward. New stuff is pricey, but still great, and making a lot of SSDs would bring down it's price as well (after the first few years) but make the ps4 expensive as hell.

A plus side to the CELL is that now their processors will be better used, and a lot cheaper to make, dropping the price.

shreeveera4694d ago

Just kidding.
Remove PS1,PS2,PSP and PSVITA from the list and it makes sense.

Full PS3 BC is highly likely and more than sufficient for a PS4. Though PS2 BC support would be excellent.

a_squirrel4694d ago

B/C isn't hard, the SSD is. You want cheap and expensive all in the same. Oh, and you could've said a better browser to keep people that prefer one or the other from disagreeing.

fluffydelusions4694d ago

I will take Chrome over FF anyday

a_squirrel4694d ago

It's funny because the only part I didn't like (from his suggestions) was the firefox browser, and the SSD which would bring up the cost to something insane.

tiffac4693d ago

I find Chrome to be faster and it seems lighter when it comes to memory (I think), so it would be ideal for a console.

Spitfire_Riggz4694d ago

THIS!!! Whats wrong with these fools! That is the best damn list ive ever seen. I would also add that we be able to install other OS as well so I can be lazy and enjoy my nostalgic emulators without leaving the comfort of my bed.

Kur04694d ago

I'd rather Google Chrome.

ps4me4693d ago

Superb set of 8 features I too like to be incorporated though I doubt the inclusion of Full BC(Point 1..lol..)

And when I will get marry?

frankymv4693d ago

geniusgamerdoc4694d ago

Superb article:) Mozilla Firefox browser will make my Day along with a fully revamped XMB.

gaden_malak4694d ago

a_bro4693d ago

nothings better than sitting on the couch and browse on your HDTV bro.

gaden_malak4693d ago

Not if you only have a controller to use. Too slow.

Artpulse review for PlayStation 4 - Demon Gaming

Karl writes: - You’re placed in an out-of-this-world environment (there’s a small selection to choose from) and after a quick tutorial of which buttons do what, you’re free to play! Using the motion controllers to combine a variety of shapes and colors (and a bit of freehand painting) you’ll produce beats, synths and…other musical sounds (I’m not an EDM expert so you’ll have to forgive my ignorance on the subject) which will create and elevate the chosen track (again not a huge selection but enough to showcase ArtPulse).

Himno review for PlayStation 4 - Demon Gaming

Josh writes: - I am going to cut through all the formalities I normally give my reviews with Himno. Normally I try to go into ever Indie title I play with an open mind, and that was no different with Himno. The game boasts “a non-violent, no death platformer.” That may be true that you do not fight off zombies or orcs. However, the bit about not dying is a load of crap as you will constantly fall into the water as you have no clue where you are going half the time.

The animation is nice and it looks like it controls well but they seem to have forgotten to make it a game.

Mekabolt review for PlayStation 4 - Demon Gaming

Lyam writes: - Mekabolt is very simple in concept. Your gun itself is the mekabolt and shooting enemies allows you to manipulate them in a way to continue on in the stage. For instance, one enemy walks on a platform and by shooting it, you can use it to access higher heights. Another is a flying one that when shot, it falls to the ground briefly, letting the player have a moment to jump atop of it and ride upwards. Figuring out the patterns of the enemies and what their benefits are is the key to success in finishing stages. There’s not much difficulty since each time a new concept such as a new enemy appears, the next few stages are simplified to learn the benefits of that enemy.
