PS4 Games in Development

The word is out, according to Game Informer Australia PlayStation game developers are already developing games for the Playstation 4. This is a HUGE announcement. We have been providing all types of rumors from all types of sources since before the start of 2010. However this is the first time an industry standard voice has reported on it. Game Informer Australia reported that Sony has made mention of the console, and that they currently have developers working on games now!

Sony’s PlayStation 3 has been around since 2006 and there have been many rumors that the next-generation console will arrive as soon as 2012.

The recent edition of Game Informer claims that game developers are starting work on games for the as of yet unannounced Sony PlayStation 4.  Most games take 10 to 16 months to be fully developed; so game developers need advanced notice.

This is certainly not a formal announcement regarding the new device but does show that the Playstation 4 is on the horizon.  This is a crucial time in the development stage, when Sony is preparing the publishing partners for the new release... Makes you wonder how much information these publishing partners are getting on the new console specs, and if there is even possibly a working model out there some where...

The image above "Sony say's that developers are working on Playstation 4" is an actual cut out of the Game Informer magazine. This is an exciting time, a lot of speculation to be had.

In the past, Sony has released a new console every 6 years, in 1994, 2000, and 2006, and if they are planning to continue this trend, we could get a PS4 in late 2012. Stay up to date on the Playstation 4 release date as information becomes available.

Perhaps Sony won’t be announcing the PS4 anytime soon, but the fact that they said developers are working on PlayStation 4 is good news.

Sony has not commented on the story, however, Game Informer has the article in their news section and not their rumors section. We are moving beyond rumors and quickly approaching a time when we will know what the Playstation 4 will be all about... But before then, we ask the SonyPS4.com readers;

• What do you think the Playstation 4 will be capable of?
• How much will the Playstation 4 cost?
• When will the Playstation 4 be released?
• Are you looking forward to the Playstation 4?
• Let us know what you think!

There are many reports that Sony is working closely with several developers to ensure that the Playstation 4 SDK (standard development kit) will be much easier to use for game developers, which will result in more/better game titles for the Playstation 4. One of the few complaints regarding the Playstation 3 was the difficulty level in developing games, and how this could have adversely effected the number of titles released, there are a lot of great game titles for the Playstation 3... but maybe there could have been more. That is why we are so excited that Sony is working closely with developers to create an SDK that can be easily used to create riveting and amazing game titles.

Exciting times for Playstation fans!

Playstation 4 Viral Videos – Under Question

A lot of questions have come up over the last couple of days regarding the authenticity of the Playstation 4 "leaked" viral videos. Those who have seen the videos usually come to the same conclusion, they are of professional quality and do seem to be in the style that Sony has been utilizing in their Playstation marketing for some time now. (Click to watch Playstation 4 Viral Videos)

So why question the authenticity of the viral videos... Well, a quote from GameInformer.com has really contributed:

Sony hardware PR representative Al de Leon broke it down for us in the simplest way possible: "I can confirm that this video is not from SCE [Sony Computer Entertainment]."

This is not something we at SonyPS4.com are really ready to accept just yet... E3 is just days away and will likely have all of the answers that we are looking for, but it is very hard to believe that these videos were created as a hoax... Before we ask you if you think the Playstation 4 videos are real, lets look at some of the facts.

1. In just 1 day the video has been viewed over 150,000 times, that leans strongly to the authenticity.
2. Sony PR rep never said that the video was a hoax, or anything really, just that "this video is not from SCE"
3. The YouTube account to that uploaded these videos only has these videos, was created shortly before uploading the first of the viral videos, and has created SCElabs's Channel on YouTube.
4. The production value of the videos seem to reach beyond what is expected or possible even possible from a non monetized hoax, the only alternative would be a hoax from an advertising company... This is certainly not that type of hoax.
5. This could likely be the perfect answer to bring a ton of much deserved attention to the Playstation 3 once the PSMove and 3d gaming is released... A faster more capable Playstation 3 console with all of these additions is at least worth a generational leap for the Playstation console... Might even give the Sony guys a reason to lower the price on the Slim PS3 again, just in time for Christmas.

Those are the top 5 reasons that we think this years E3 is going to be even more amazing than anyone had anticipated.

Now its time to hear from the gamers out there, what do you think of the Playstation 4 viral videos?

Are they real? Do these videos mean that a Playstation 4 console is just around the corner or is this the first glimpses of something still years away? Do you think these videos were leaked intentionally? Do you look forward to the Playstation 4?

E3 is June 15-17, it is believed many of these questions will be answered during the event. Keep checking back as more information becomes available.

E3 has come and gone... The Playstation 4 was not announced, and likely will not be for several years.

But that does not mean that the Playstation team did not have a lot of stuff to show off, E3 was amazing and most importantly displayed the value and capabilities of the Playstation Move. With such a well rounded game library available for the Playstation Move release, it is certain to be a big hit.

Playstation 4 Release Video Leaked

It looks like the Playstation 4 may be coming MUCH sooner than had been expected. There are a ton of rumors going around the internet regarding the Playstation 4 right now, most of which you can blame on the Sony team. Right after the official release and announcement of the Playstation Move, for the first time in a long time we (the ever anxious Playstation groupies) are beginning to accept that the Playstation 4 is likely years away...

And here is what the Playstation 4 Team leaked, released, planted just a few hours ago

This is a serious game changer, this not only acknowledges the Playstation 4. But makes it look like it is just around the corner, and this was not the only "leaked" viral video that we were able to find for the Playstation 4, while not in English here is another below.

For us at Sonyps4.com this could not have come at a better time, we have been awaiting some real news to bring to the masses for quite some time now... and this is definitely real Playstation 4 news!

So what would Playstation be looking to release a Playstation 4 when they have just announced the Playstation Move... Well that really could be the answer all onto itself.

The PS3 console has years lets on its life cycle and is still the most technologically advanced gaming console available, and will be for the next several years. But the Playstation Move (psmove) will add a completely different type of game play, and require specific games and possible accessories... Now in this respect it is believed that the guys at Playstation have decided to merge the 2, the best console available today and the future of motion gaming and brand them as the Playstation 4.

That's at least the popular rumor at the moment, keep in mind the Playstation team while willing to leak the viral video have not explained it at all... Is that really a shock though with the E3 expo coming up on June 15th. Got to tell you, sitting here on the edge of my seat waiting to hear what the Playstation team has to say, and if they are going to shed some light on the Playstation 4 videos that were leaked, I really have a feeling they are going to be mentioning it.

If speculation was required, I would guess that the standard Playstation 3 that you have grown to know and love will be getting yet another great price break, making the most powerful console on the planet even more affordable... In addition I expect the Playstation 4 will cost some where between 300 and 400 bucks, not a bad deal considering it will have an upgraded PS3 console as well as everything necessary to utilize motion gaming (psmove and accessories) on the upgraded console, chances are they will even include a game.

So much to look forward to, we will let you know how E3 goes, and what the Playstation team has to say.

A Playstation 4 Release Date

A Playstation 4 release date may be a couple of years away, with as much as Sony is putting into the Playstation Move they will be in no rush to roll out a new console unless absolutely necessary, and at this time it really isn't necessary. The Playstation 3 game console already offers more tech and usability than any other gaming console, with the introduction of motion gaming, it could be years before we see a Playstation 4. Below we have a few concepts of the Playstation 4, even if a few years away its still fun to think about.

With so much up in the air and so much going on with the Playstation 3, cant say that I would really like them to rush to development on the next console.

Stay tuned and we will keep you updated as information is released on the Playstation 4... but for now we are going to be switching modes and begin stalking the soon to be Playstation Move.

With all of this to look forward to over the next couple of years, it is no wonder that Playstation is the most powerful game console brand today... and likely for the next several years.

Looking for more information on the Playstation Move, we have that available for you, just follow the link below to find what your looking for.

Sony Playstation 4 Console Name

Several people have been asking if it is certain that the next generation of Playstation consoles will be called the Playstation 4.

We at SonyPS4.com have come across so much information over the course of the last year that points to this it is a certainty... The next Playstation console will indeed be the Sony Playstation 4, and we will go through a list of quotes and references that we hope will shine some light on the subject. There is little information available on the Playstation's next gaming console , and that is to be expected at this point in development, but as you will see many of the most prominent names and employees of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. have referred to the next Playstation gaming console as the Playstation 4.

• Playstation inventor Ken Kutaragi, as chairman and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.  is already thinking ahead to Playstation 4 and beyond. In an exclusive interview with EE Times, Kutaragi said: "As a matter of course, I have the vision of Playstation 4, 5 and 6, which will merge into the network." Read More.
• PS3.IGN.com talks about the possibility of the Playstation 4 being released at a 3d gaming consolee, possibly the first of it's kind. While it is a grey area in terms of what the Playstation 4 will be capable of, the console is again referred to by a leading game resource as the Playstation 4... Really IGN speaks of the Playstation 4 frequently, read more about the PS4 possibly being a 3d gaming console here.
• In an interview with Jack Tretton, the CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, again the next Playstation console is mentioned by name, as the Playstation 4. "A question I often get is when we are going to see Playstation 4. When somebody can craft the technology that exceeds what we're able to do on the PS3, but we are still just starting to harness it." While not ready to put a date on it, it would seem Jack Tretton is certain of the next Playstation consoles name. Read more from the FastCompany interview.
• Geek.com also mentions the Playstation 4 by name in referring to Cell alternatives to the Playstation 4 gaming console. While again its mostly rumors and speculation on what the Playstation 4 gaming console will offer, its again another authority in the gaming and tech industry referring to the next Playstation gaming console as the Playstation 4. Check it out.
• Mr. Yoshida in an interview with VideogamesZone.de, translated by Xbitlabs.com here. From the Xbitlabs.com article "Even though Mr. Yoshida did not confirm that PlayStation 4 will use Blu-ray disc or a next-generation optical format, it is highly-possible that the console due in several years will use optical discs to store huge next-generation video games." Many times during the interview Shuhei Yoshida, senior vice president of product development at Sony Computer Entertainment America, mentions the next Playstation gaming console as the Playstation 4.

There are literally thousands of references of the next Playstation console being referred to as the Playstation 4, I have tried to include only those that are the most credible, and those that can be easily referenced yourself if you choose to do so... A real big part of Sony keeping with the Playstation numbered series has to do with them maintaining the brand that they have built up since the launch of the first Playstation on December 3, 1994.

In reality we find it unlikely that Sony will ever choose to go away from the numerical naming system for the Playstation console generations. These names are just far too recognizable, and instantly associated with the gaming consoles that you are familiar with. Sony Playstation has even hinted at this with a commercial that was aired during the launch of the Playstation 2 that featured the Playstation 9.

This commercial, while possibly some what satire, really is further proof that Sony intends to stay with the Playstation numerical branding for as long as they are producing gaming systems. Dated 2078 and offering some of the most wild and futuristic technology imaginable, this advertisement goes to the merit and power of the current Playstation branding tactics.

All of this, and thousands more references throughout the internet, point to the next Playstation gaming console as being named the Playstation 4. With Sony unlikely to announce any official information regarding the Playstation 4, until just before launch, the mentioning of the console by name from Sony executives is the biggest indication so far.

Playstation 4 News and Rumors Top 5

Over the past several months a lot has been said about the Playstation 4 and how and when it could be announced officially by Sony with a release date. We have found many instances where Sony staffers or Playstation employees (and even management) have referenced the system, but now more than ever the Playstation team has become great at keeping secrets... Many gamers believe (according to the poll on our site) that the next generation of the Playstation game console is not likely to be released before the winter of 2012, and hopefully it will be the first console from Playstation to be completely backwards compatible (or at the very least compatible with the Playstation 3 games and Playstation Move).

Here is a collection of the top 5 great articles or rumors we have found and presented to you, the reader, regarding the Playstation 4 and when it may be released, what it may contain, and also some real great Playstation 4 concept images and designs. It may be a few years off but it is certain that the next generation Playstation console will be something amazing and offer capabilities that many of us can only imagine at this point.

1)Playstation 4 Released as a 3d console This is a great article showing off the capabilities for the new series of televisions, most of which are 3d. This is a real important aspect for Playstation gamers out there... it is unlikely that many of the existing consoles can handle this type of gaming, so it is already becoming apparent that the Playstation 4 will be an essential addition in the not too distant future.

2)PS4 as a Multimedia Center With the way Sony over delivered with the Playstation 3 console in terms of the hardware provided, it can be easily assumed that the Playstation 4 will over deliver in the same way. The Playstation 3 in addition to being an amazing gaming console is also the most widely used BlueRay player in the country... Thats a big deal, Sony almost eliminated the need for the majority of consumers to purchase a BlueRay players simply by providing it in their system, at a time when a BlueRay player on its own would have cost consumers upwards of $400. It is possible that the Playstation 4 will include additional innovative hardware, although there are also several rumors that the Playstation 4 may (in addition to a BlueRay player) include a receiver for in home audio systems... again increasing the usage and versatility of the Playstation brand.

3)Playstation 4 Designs and Rumors This post led to the submission of so many designs that the site is now full of custom fan art and concept designs... This post even later ended up becoming a contest on 99designs.com to see just how unique and impressive Playstation fans could get when coming up with a completely unique console design on their own. A lot of fun and a ton of concept images later the fans voted a winner and it is a great red and white retro design, although unlikely to look anything like what Sony will unveil when they announce the Playstation 4, the winning concept design can be seen below.
This design, while catchy and a great design is unlike thee last 3 generations of Playstation and does not seem to have the space that would be required for the Playstation 4 to also act as a multimedia center. This design however was voted the most popular of the concept designs and as such is featured throughout the site, along with several others of the Playstation 4 popular concept designs.

4)Pre-Order Your PS4, Playstation 4 While it is not yet an option the fact that we have this page made, and are constantly working to better the ranking and information available does indeed mean a lot. We are dedicated to becoming the number one source for Playstation 4 information and want to be able to provide you with up to date intel on when and where a Playstation 4 can be purchased or pre ordered... If the next console launch is anything like the last several this is going to be crucial information, because really who wants to stand in line for 8 hours only to be told that the Playstation 4 is already sold out... Pre Buy Online, thats our goal!

5)Playstation Move (Playstation Motion Controller) Another real big news event was the release of the Playstation motion controller set to be available late 2010. This is another device that is sure to sell out, being the introduction of motion gaming to the most successful and advanced console to the world... Expect the Playstation Move to be the most desired gift this Christmas shopping season, and with an expected price tag of only $100 everyone with a Playstation 3 is going to want one... So again it is important to be on top of the pre order information, so check back often and as soon as there are pre orders retailers available we will let you know.

All of this information, and speculation, and so much more on the Playstation 4 console has been gathered over the past several months and presented here at SonyPS4.com... so book mark us and be sure to come back! We are constantly updating the site with more news, information, and even some rumors and speculation... So if your looking to stay ahead of the gaming curve, you now have the tools to do so.

Playstation Move Release Date

The Playstation Move is the new motion controller set to be released for purchase Fall of 2010, making it the perfect Christmas gift.

The Playstation Move has been in the works for quite some time now and it is amazing so little information was leaked before the official announcement, a real credit to the Playstation team and really all of Sony. But more importantly the Playstation Move is like nothing else although it will be in direct market competition with the Wii and at some point project Natal... The Playstation Move stands alone.

The Playstation Move is the first device (controller?) that has truly achieved the goal of placing the user within the game. Take a moment and watch some of the videos below to see for your self what it is like being able to play with the full axis spectrum with a controller in hand... There really is nothing like the Playstation Move. This is also one of the two videos Sony released introducing the Playstation Move, so the games albeit amazing are still first generation.

This video does great to show off many of the uses and capabilities of the new device and really that the Playstation Move is going to open a whole new type of gaming for the Playstation 3, and likely to add several years to the life of the console. With a "Fall 2010" release date we suspect pre-orders and pre-buy opportunities to begin as early as September, but the majority of these amazing additions to the Playstation 3 will not see game play till the morning after Christmas.

The release of the Move could bring the release of the PS4 closer

Sony unveiled its Move system Wednesday March 10, 2010 at the Game Developers conference.  The system will be available as a kit that includes the Move controller, a PlayStation Eye camera, and a Move game for the PlayStation 3.

The Move will allow gamers to play the new games as if they were part of the action. It will be similar to the Wii but more advanced. The Eye camera detects the exact location and movements of the controllers. The Eye also has voice and image recognition which will allow for alternate reality games.

The Move made make it a good idea of Sony to release the PlayStation 4 sooner. The PS3 won’t allow four player to use the Move remote and subcontroller which is required for some games. The PS4 might have more Bluetooth ports which will allow for more players using the Move remotes and subcontroller.
