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.

1 - Considering Uncharted 2 is already maxing out the ps3...

...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!

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.

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.

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.

1.17 - "Breakfast had a good start, but yeah. PS3 maxing out jokes don't stick, when multiplats max out 360 games. And when its most advanced game, uses the multiplatform Unreal Engine."

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

6 - Before we see any mention of the next PS console

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.

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.

7.1 - Fanboy sites desperate to downplay PS3 in 09

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?!

1 - There isn't going to be a PS4.

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.

3 - Hey GiantEnemyLobster...

Do you honestly and truly believe that the PS3 is going to flop and that there will be no PS4? I have been reading articles and comments on N4g for a while now w/out commenting and am really dumbfounded by some of the reasoning that goes on. I don't understand why people wish and hope so hard for the PS3 to fail. I went through 6 360's before I finally realized that I had been taken for a ride. (5 RR'd on me and I smashed 1 out of frustration and fury from it freezing and eating my disks.) I don't hate Microsoft, I just won't buy any of their consoles ever again. I guess I'm wondering why you have such unreasonable disdain for the Playstation products. I'm not looking to get in any flame stuff or arguments...I am honestly curious. Happy gaming homie!!
