The Playstation 4 is on its way!

The release:


You heard it here first: the PlayStation 4 is set to have a December 2012 release! Despite that fact that many are following the “ten year cycle” theory and anticipating a release date of 2014 or 2015, we have it on good word that it’s much sooner. Many players should remember when Sony announced that the PlayStation 2 would be a 10-year project. However, the PS3 was released six years later. It is true that games were still created for the PS2 during the time of the PS3, but that did not stop Sony from introducing the PS3 during the time of the PlayStation 2. Now, the PS3 has just about reached its six-year mark, which is an indication that the Sony PlayStation 4 will be launching in 2012.

In fact, with the PS4 basically in production mode at this point, the big guns at Sony are already planning and conceptualizing a PS5 and PS6! But for now, let’s focus on the PS4.

It’s no surprise that Sony is in a rush to get the PlayStation 4 to hit the markets, since it’s certainly in competition with Microsoft to step up its, well, game. As an interesting side note, the CEO of a graphics development company has hinted that this will be the case. Cevat Yerli, the CEO of Crytek, was interviewed during last year’s Game Developers Conference in Germany. In the interview, Yerli noted that Crytek’s wildly anticipated CryEngine3 graphics engine would be debuting in 2012. When asked whether this was being done in anticipation of the Sony PS4, Yerli demurred and said that he couldn’t discuss the topic any further.

    Specs:


  • 3.2GHz CPU: Likely we’ll only see an increase in clock speed if fabrication starts at 22nm. This will make it have an overall performance of around 500 GFLOPs for the whole cell processor at 3.2GHz.
  • Nvidia GeForce GTX 560: This means more polygons, higher resolution textures and better effects.
  • 3D: The Sony PlayStation 4 will have full 3D support with 4K2K compatibility, and supports 3D Blu-Ray
  • 1 GB RAM: More than 1Gb isn't needed since there is a lot more VRAM this time, therefore there will be a more efficient use of the main RAM this time for other tasks for example watching a video, looking at pictures, going to the PlayStation store all while in a game
  • Blu-Ray: Sony spent a lot of money developing Blu-ray, so no reason to ditch it now.
  • 2 to 4 USB 3.0 connections: Back up as much as 100 GBs of data and applications in half the time it currently takes

New features:



Going Green

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 an “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.

Bye Bye Discs?
It’s also of note that the PlayStation® 4 could be the first console that won’t require disks, or a physical game at all. There will still be a disk drive, but with the increasing popularity of downloading games combined with the lower cost, we expect you won’t be using it very much. However it is backwards compatible, so you can continue to enjoy all your current favorites on the new PS4®.

Making a Stylish Entrance
We also have good word that the PS4 is stepping up its game in the style department. Perhaps taking a cue from tablet computers, we’re expecting PS4 skins to be a shining star with the PS4 release. To consumers, these gamers are going to want upper-quality covers to put onto their new PlayStation 4 machines to protect these expensive gaming systems from scratching. During recent years, trends in upper-quality laptop or electronics covers have been steadily moving towards elegant fashions and styles. Skins for the PlayStation 4 gaming system will be made in styles that will dress-out each PS4 in a unique manner.

Today, it is impossible to have a PS3 that is easily covered in precious gold, silver or jewels. Skin styles for the Sony PS4 may include real glittering gold, classy sterling silver or precious gemstones that are fashioned onto skin patterns. The technology for jewelry skins is being used today for other non-gaming applications. PlayStation 4 skins can glitter with diamonds, sparkle with rhinestones or have a GPS tracking chip included. Skin technologies are just now coming fantastic; PS4 skins will be truly awesome.

Games
Motion sensing technology will continue to play a huge role, meaning games are going to be more immersive than ever. Finally, gamers can get a true first-person shooter experience, and even use motion sensing while playing online with friends.
