New PlayStation 4 Concept Design

We’ve been providing you with fan-crafted PlayStation 4 concepts for a long time now. Recently, a new concept hit the market, but this one is a little different: the creator, Joseph Dumary, also says what specs it should have and the capabilities.

Dumary’s PS4 has a brand-new feature: ECO Restart. Basically, the console uses a rechargeable battery to stay in a power-friendly mode after turned off, making it easier on the console when it is turned back on for play later.

This PS4 will also be made of 60% recycled materials, with magnesium alloy and carbon, making the overall console weight considerably light.
We’ve talked before about how Sony should incorporate and integrate the PS Vita and Sony S1 and S2 Tablets into the console, and that’s what Dumary did. You can use either as a remote control, a way to browse the web, or play games from a distance, knocking the Wii U controller out of the water.

The PS4 would have a 1.5TB harddrive, Blu-Ray and 3D support, USB 3.0, Sync, Cloud, and so much more. Even cooler? The PS4 controller would have a light sensor and an adjustment option for the analog stick, incase it’s too loose or too tight for the player’s gameplay.

The model is sleek, futuristic but not crazy looking, and fits the current models of PlayStation that we adore. What do you think? (Click on the images below if you want to see a larger view.)

PS4 as a Multimedia Center

Although the Sony Playstation 4 is far off in the future, a lot of speculations have been made. But Paul Holmen, the Vice President of Technology for Sony Computer Entertainment, Europe, has confirmed a PS4 in the future.

We have heard about the downloadable content and backward compatible software, but what I found interesting was the conversion to a more computer-friendly system. This means that a mouse and keyboard would be sold with the PS4 for easier usability. It seems that the gaming console is turning more into a multimedia unit, with gaming, entertainment, and chat, rather than a solely gaming.

It is true that Xbox took that first step towards a multimedia unit with their Xbox 360, but when Sony Playstation puts their minds towards a goal, they are unstoppable.

Also, it is rumored that the mouse/keyboard/Playstation pack may be added to the current PS3, to satisfy consumers as they wait for the next big thing,

So why would the PS4 be so much better than the already expensive, blue-ray packed PS3? Well,  the Cell processer which Playstation consoles uses, is only partially being used. It was said 70 percent out of a hundred of the power is being taken advantage of which PS3 and it’s current games.

So it will take a lot of work for the PS4 to finally utilize its Cell Processor, but it will be worth the wait.
