Sony PlayStation 4 Features, Design, Games And Release Date |
|
|
Sony is certainly in competition with Microsoft to bring up its next generation gaming console to the market. When the PlayStation 3 was released five years ago, it was sold out in almost every store, and as of June 31, 2011 there were more than 51 million units sold.
The competition gets tougher and intense in the video game market, and Sony is preparing itself for the release of PlayStation 4 or PS4. In fact, while the PlayStation 4 is currently getting its treatment, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 6 are in the early stages of planning and conceptualization at Sony’s R&D labs.
The world eagerly waits for the next generation PlayStation 4 sported with hi-tech gaming features and latest technologies. Gamers are not just expecting the PS4 to have a combination of motion and dual-shock controllers, but also 3D gaming experience. There’s no reason why one should not expect what the next version of PS4 will contain, since technology has advanced widely and effectively.
PS4: PlayStation 4 Features and Specifications
The Sony PlayStation 4 is said to be made of eco-friendly materials. The gaming console is expected to be made up to 60% of recyclable materials. Apart from that, it will also have a “Eco Start” feature, which will allow gamers to save and resume games, without having to switch off the console.
Additionally, it is choreographed to switch off every 30 minutes of no activity. The interesting part is that during this time, the console will self-charge automatically from a rechargeable cell. This not only saves energy, but also maintains and extends the life of the console.
Although the device is blended with eco-friendly features, it certainly needs those specifications which are essentially required for any hardcore gamers. The PlayStation 4 is expected to sport a 1.5 TB hard disk drive, which allows users to store a large number of games. It will have USB 3.0 ports along with an HDMI connect port.
The Sony PlayStation 4 will have full 3D support with 4K2K compatibility, and supports 3D Blu-Ray. It is enabled to synchronize with Sony Ericson, and also synchronize with the Sony Bravia. The Sony Entertainment Network (SEN), formerly called Qriocity, will also be included in the console.
In terms of CPU, the current PS 3 uses a cell based processor with 1 PPE (Power Processing Element) at 3.2 GHz. We are expecting the PS4 to have 32nm 8 Core Cell processor with 16 SPEs, along with a 22nm Kepler. We are also expecting the console to have a boatload of RAM, with at least minimum of 2GB RAM.

Sony PlayStation 4 Design
Although the gaming console is yet to be announced, fans have already posted concept images of the PlayStation 4, which certainly looks incredible. It’s obvious that users mostly look for technical specifications, but there are certain number of people who also rely on looks and design. There are many concepts available, and one such concept by Joseph Dumary, shows the evolution from PS2, to PS3:
Here are some other designs:
It is also expected that the Sony is planning to include the “body movement-based control like Kinect”, a motion sensing input device developed by Microsoft for the Xbox 360.
PlayStation 4 Games
It is confirmed that PlayStation 4 games are currently under development, and Sony is set to launch the games somewhere around the same time as the PlayStation 4 release. The games are also expected to be available in the PlayStation online store, where you will be able to buy and download games instantly.
Sony is also developing high-quality games, new technology, and integration with 3D and dedicated gaming. Mick Hocking, Senior Director at Sony Worldwide Studios revealed a head-mounted display (picture wraparound glasses), which reveals incredibly clear, high-end 3D graphics.
Phil Harrison, former head of Sony Worldwide Studios, shared a few thoughts on the next generation gaming console, and mainly stressed on the concept of “game streaming”. The basic idea about streaming games is to play them online, where users will have to purchase rights to stream games, just like how you stream videos on Netflix.
“The technology to stream high-quality games directly to your living room or computer or TV is not some kind of science-fiction fantasy – it works, and it’ll only get better over time. I think that’s clearly going to be a future for our industry.”
PlayStation 4 Release Date
There are several speculations around the Internet about the release date of the Sony PlayStation 4. Sources indicate that Sony is planning to announce the gaming console sometime in 2012. According to a report by a tech news blog DigiTimes, indicates that Foxconn and Pegatron Technology will assemble the PS4 for Sony starting at the end of this year for a 2012 launch. These were the companies which assembled the PS3.
It’s unknown whether the Sony PlayStation could be given a different name, but at this point we can just assume that it’s going to be PS4 or PlayStation 4, since Sony has named its previous PS consoles in a similar fashion. The PlayStation 4 is expected to be one of the best gaming consoles ever, and certain after looking at the concept designs and specifications, there’s no doubt about that.

Its a gaming CONSOLE- not a Custom built PC in your moms basement. I dont mind PC players but when the get in peoples faces about modding and patronizing people then i get pi**ed. They are consoles BECAUSE none of this interchangeable bulls**t. KEEP PC PLAYERS AWAY FROM CONSOLES OR THEY WILL DESTROY GAMING AS *ALMOST* ALL OF US KNOW IT.

I'm not designing the new PS4, I'm just throwing some ideas out there to think about. No need to get your panties in a wad...
cachildress96AndrewM107ForevarAlones
calm down there guy, yes a lot of us pc uses would love to mod the #ps3... some have, it will NEVER happen, so don't go smashing somebodys dream, let them dream.
now run along go back to sleep under your bridge. (troll)
AndrewM107 From a business standpoint, that's a terrible idea. If someone like you really wants to overclock a PS that bad, you'll do it anyway. Not worth the cost to Sony to make it any easier for that one guy in ten thousand.
AndrewM107 so how much of that did you google before you posted?
cachildress96 AndrewM107 None, actually...
Guys.. When ps2 came out it was an hell of an console.. Evvery one wanted to buy it.. When ps3 came out sony just left there shit to ps2. Now what.. Fucking ps4.... I just wanna know.. The game in ps3 is it still there or what? I have call of duty and do i stoll have it when ps4 come out.. PM ME BACK have an great day:)
Fardin humriz I guess when better grafics and performence comes u want to go whit that. I can relate 2 playing "old" games but the quest is 2 be more realistic whit higher performence and so on. So many r leaving the older consols. May i say that as of now i got 2 PS1. 2 PS 2 and 3 PS 3 in the house along whit 2 Nintendo 8 Classic..... the games i play now is MW3 and MW2 but before them it was natuarly other games. I remember when i was happy playing Kid Icarus in Nintendo 8 and thought that was amazing... Now mayby play it out of nostalgic reasons but do i think its good ? nooo. I look 4ward to PS4 and i will be one of the first 2 have 1..... Lets hope u can play PS3 games in the newer PS4. I can play PS1 and 2 games in one of my PS3 but i never do.......... have a nice day.....
I could care less for what most of the people are saying here; the point for us gamers to consider are the games and their relation with the consoles. I've heard many rumors about Sony creating the PS4 to be more user friendly with gaming companies, which would translate hopefully to a better console supporting said games. This has been problematic for many game developers and a reason why most just recently have begun to tap into the full power of the almighty PS3. I'm willing to pay the price if they can assure me that I'll get my money's worth. Personally, I've never really liked Microsoft, and I want to see Sony flourish, but all the new gizmos and gadgets mean jack if the rest of the companies don't know how to handle it. After all, you wouldn't trust your five year-old with your brand new Lamborghini, right? Well... I wouldn't at least ^ ^.
Fardin humriz no, and we are going to disable your accout.
(this is an opinion, troll, and plain blathered speach. do not take it seriously as it has been made in jest, I do not work for or have any afiliation with sony or any of its coporate members or employees, besides on twitter.)
Mrknify are you troll?
i was thinking of trading my xbox for a ps3 but i think if whats mentioned above is true i might as well wait for ps4. Does anyone have any advice. much appreciated. thanks
I can't believe anyone really wanted to buy an XBOX. It is one of the shittiest consoles ever made, by hardware standards. People bicker and moan about discrepancies in graphics and such, but when you have a source (game informer) reporting that 54% of their consoles red ring, why the fuck are you even buying such a product? Not even that, I can't even pick up the thing without it shooting the disc around and almost destroying it. I've never had EITHER of these problems with PS2 or PS3.
I would hate to buy a console that not only has the largest fail rate of any console, but one that also seems to destroy my games as well. Plus- PS3 already had wireless built in. What was up with that shit for XBOX?
samo2k11
dieeksamo2k11 Who picks up their console while the disc is spinning? Clearly you've never owned a portable CD player, or paid attention in physics class. And could you try to sound a little less like a biased fanboy? I could pick out a lot of severe problems over the past with the PS3, like PSN being hacked and crashed multiple times, or thousands of PS3 consoles becoming bricked because they couldn't figure out what a leap year is. And Game Informer was the LARGEST estimate at 54 percent, more than double SquareTrade's estimate of 23 percent.
Also, while the PS3 did come built in with wireless, it was only on the 60gb model, which was priced at $600 (!!!), and was the only way you could get an HDMI port, when THE NEXT YEAR, the Xbox 360 20gb (less than half the price) shipped with HDMI. Even the 60GB 360 was $200 less than the PS3.
Really, either side is arguable. Apples and oranges, in my opinion. Each console has it's pros and cons.
SpifffyHaatdieeksamo2k11
You make good points but two things 1) PSN being hacked is not Sony's fault and 2) "why would you pick up a system while the disc is spining" what if it fell of the stand? that happened a couple times with my PS2 PS3 and Wii and i put them back up and continued playing.
I think we should STFU and just play N64 or SNES....
SpifffyHaatdieeksamo2k11
Agreed.. Apple is better :P jk
iPhone is the best portable against the psp and ps vita.. This is completly off topic and has nothing to do with ps3 :D
SpifffyHaatdieeksamo2k11 DUMBass... REALLY you wanna throught that bull crap here. Physics.. really cd player... in what era are you living in?? you still use casettes on your car too or what.. get over it your shitbox is really a shitbox now you little fan boy move along
samo2k11 get ps3 bro. Cuz I've read rumors that Sony waits 10 years for every console. So you can bet on 2013 probably. Get ps3 cuz I have Xbox.. And ps3. Ps3 is much better, you don't have to waste money on online membership.. Plus, xbox has a messed up community full of drunk teenagers playing cod and halo. Ps3 has nice people plus it's free for mostly any features. Ps+ is nothing much. They make it look cool, it's not. So I'd suggest getting a ps3. I actually want to sell my Xbox, but my bro will get pissed. So just get a ps3.
Shadowninja708samo2k11 hey douche face you know if that was true ps2 would have come out like 2004 and then ps3 would even be out for another 2 years so shut the fuck up they come out with a new one every 6 years playstation came out 1994 then ps2 2000 then ps3 2006 we ARE do for a new console they also come out with a redesigned version every 3 or 4 years new ps1 year 2000 new ps2 year 2004 and new ps3 2009 so you can all shut the hell up if sony followed their current style were getting a new console this year! though since the slim ps3 was release late i wouldnt be suprised if it was announced in 2012's forth quarter then released 2013 in the forth quarter but that last part is just my guess cause 1 year of hype... hell they would break the ps2's record if they did that... also they would atleast get one or two supplie trucks jacked....
I think they should come out with something that shocks you when you fall or get shot that would make the game way funner to play as the shocks get more intense.
To be completely honest, over time, people would just get annoyed by something like that. It sounds cool in concept, but with repeated 'shocks', it will just end up pissing people off. Not to mention drain battery life from the controller considerably, especially if you still want wireless (which is assuming everyone does.)
That's why they have the dual-shock controllers that came out as early as PSX. It didn't shock anyone, but still got pretty annoying.
dieek it takes a week for my ps3 controller to die in one full charge of battery ... this will only be for xbox and there crappy controllers... i know friends got that xbox!!!
PS3 is cool but my game machine is Xbox. Right now I am playing a game and trying to get to the next level. Sometimes we have to kill some time here at Smartphones Info.
I like knowing that you're getting paid to play games. I think I'll be calling a supervisor there soon..
Hey ding dongs why dont you all get a life....PS3 is here to stay for quite a while. There will be no PS4 until around the end of 2015, beginning of 2016 and will most likely not be announced until the end of 2014..These so called concepts well thats what they are is just concepts so PLEASE dont get them hopes up cause they are never close.
I Think Sony shoud wait. What is the rush XBOX 360 rushed to beat PS3 but i think you should take your time wait 3-5 years to beat XBOX 720. And if you people want to see future gaming look up CryEngine 3. But PS4 should not put were you have to always wear those 3D Glasses those should wait i'm talking PS6 , anyways it's a great idea to bring playstation store . And if sony you wait you don't have to keeping doing PS4 Updates. PS4 should have it's best security not where you need a real e-mail or where you choose our name not that that will lose costumers bad idea. Sony you relased PS2 with wired controllers so you relased PS3 with wireless controllers so PS4 should have a cool controller you know like it should always feel soft i don't like how the controller in awhile feels all sticky , old, dusty even if you take perfect care of it and when you purchased a PS3 new controller that is a fantanstic feeling. I Think sony should let playstation network users have more character remaining not 16 but 20. Also sony you should put the gaming expirence to a new level i'm talking games as L.A. Noire , Grant Theft Auto IV , BATTLEFIELD 3 , Dead Island , call of duty modern warfare 3 , assassin's creed revelations , saints row the third , RAGE, batman arkham city. those kinda games don't make games that disco santa claus would play example: resident evil, the sims , green lantern , ben 10 , captian america, lego indaian jones, not those. And then friend list should not have a max i have over 5 accounts full with 500 friends and it's kinda lame how i have to sign out i can talk or invite all in party like ok no ones online on this account then i go to my other and thats annoying put max friends 5,000 . and please let us change our playstation user name that would be a perfect system like hell ya this name sucks i don't wanna lose my purchases tho that's PS3 i hear it 80% of the time allowing sony ... let us change our name that'll change everything to the population 79.95% . well sony you should have your sytle increaseed these are my thoughts and yeah the PS4 should come with a p.i.m.p. game not like PS3 coming with lego batman what am i 5 ? PS4 should come with a war game and i think the PS4 would be pretty impressive i liked the PS3 but not as much as PS4 you should do the games on time as wel cause i played PS3 and xbox games some time the connection servers are really lag . so the PS3 sounds pretty amaziang i 'm just giving ideas out spread the word i mean sony you make computers,tv, and consoles so good luck! with the PS4 i hope you guys change a lot cause PS2 is compared to PS3 i saw a video how the graphics are exactly the same i like how he PS3 is steady in PS2 the camera moves to much and yeah thats all have a great day
I've always been a gamer ,and to see the sony industry come out with more than it's already popular version of the play station is getting me geeked .I for one can't waite to see what it has to offer as far as games ,and gadgets.
I'm just waiting 4 the day where u wear some sort of eye-wear, so u can c panoramic vew, tht'll b fucking awesome! Add a 3d processor 2 it, and start playin battlefield!!! Oh yeahhhh
Playstation 3 already has 3D support.
i hope with the ps4 you are able to play the ps3 games as well.
i think ps4 should look like the one that is made out of glass
video games are for homosexuals. so is masturbation.
Why u on the website then?
cause he fails at life and has no freinds and spends all his time "dissing people online".
Bottom line his girlfriend dumped his fat ass and now he's a mad bro. :)
cachildress96 cause he is homosexual
all of you need to learn how to speak english
Well, you probably mean psVita, and thats definitely not what you call a PS4
i got ps2, never get ps3, so i get my play station 4 already. Brough it from Japan. envy me boys.
whens the ps4 due date please my ps3 has just died yellow light of death darn thing. is it worth getting another ps3
PlayStation must have more quality than ps3.ps3 did not have a lot of quality.
Some thing that PlayStation should do is make the PlayStation 3D, find a better name for it.
But what was the delay its been years ps3 came out we should be on ps6 by now.
It's not a freakin iPhone man
