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 still years away

The E3 conference is currently taking place and it has become very clear that the Playstation 4 will not be released, possibly not for several years... Simply put the Playstation 3 console just has a lot more life left in it.

Earlier this week there was a release of a couple of videos that posed to be for the Playstation 4 (PS4 viral videos). These videos of course sent ripples through the gaming community and left everyone completely confused and at a loss... why would Playstation bring out the PS4 when they had just announced the Playstation Move. Everyone had assumed the introduction of 3d games and motion gaming capabilities was more than enough... but the videos were leaked and raised a lot of questions.

As it turns our the videos were created by a college student working on a degree in advertising... The student in hopes of generating a little bit of buzz, and possibly jump start his career released the videos, and sent shock waves through the gaming world.

The big news this year is not the Playstation 4, we likely have several years before a new Playstation console is introduced, but the Playstation Move, and the upcoming pre buy opportunities.

There is a lot coming from Playstation this winter season, 3d games are likely to be a big hit as well as thee introduction of motion gaming with the Playstation Move... Its going to be a great year for Playstation fans!

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.

Future of consoles to be released

Are the next gen console PS4 or Xbox 3 really coming soon?
In this age of gaming wars where companies fight for the supremacy of the gaming industry, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have been competing. These companies have been trying hard to woo the consumers with variety of features. In addition, most of all the age of integration has come now with adding of more than one device into the other. Gadgets are made such that they perform works of other gadgets too.
For example the PlayStation 3 which is a gaming rig and a technology marvel is made for killer graphics and excellent performance. Apart from that, a blu ray drive is integrated into it so that it can be used as a blu ray player eliminating the need to buy a standalone blu ray drive. A 160 gb hard disk is also added in the drive so that one can save photos , videos, songs and others. In Wii, you have card reader so that one can connect media to the console and use it as a media player. Xbox console is the best ever online gaming device now with millions and millions of people using it for online gaming.
Millions of dollars have been diverted to the research and development of these devices over the past years where each company tried to outcast the other by improving their consoles. The playstation updated to playstation two and later on to playstation three. Xbox released a normal Xbox and then upgraded to Xbox 360. Like this the fight among these companies have brought to the best of gaming devices available now .
But since they made a trend of bring up newer consoles now and then , everyone is looking forward for a Xbox 3 and the PS4 . Though these are good enough for now, the rumors of next generation of consoles under development are creating raves.
Considering the amount of money spent on the development of these consoles the companies would not want to release out a new one they still did not capitalize much on it yet. and also this will cause a heavy pressure from the software manufacturers as all that they made for these consoles will be obsolete if a newer console comes up . so possibility of releasing a newer version of these consoles until 2012 -2013 is very meek .
Why should they release a new console when the rigs they made are good enough for some more year from now and it’s a strongly wise decision to stick to it. But then again if someone else dares to launch a new console sooner they can capitalize on that initially but sooner and later due to the completion others will also have to follow and release newer model but eventually it’s the consumer who will be happy with such kind of move than the companies.
So finally it is clear that there is as such no need to release newer models but they will certainly delay the release as long as possible . However, someone will blink first in between for sure!!
