PS4 News - The latest playstation news and updates

I hope it plays all of the game from playstation 3-2 and one... So i don't have to get rid of them because I still play them all.

Generations of consoles usually last about 6-8 years... I don't see why you'd be buying "new" systems every 2-3 years...

According to the conference, The PS4 (likely through your PSN account or with some sort of connection between the PS3 and PS4, wired or wireless) can detect what games you owned on the PS3, and you can stream them to the PS4. I don't know if this would include DLC content... And I don't think it would work for old PS1 and 2 games, unless you could use a memory card adapter to scan your cards for games...

I hope you plan to use Windows 7 on your gaming laptop. Now days you don't have a choice. Windows 8 is suppose to be used on a touch screen units but they want to use the format on everything which in my opinion sucks. There are games that will not be on the PC that will be on the console. By the way, Playstation is not going to take away used games, that market will still be around much to the relief of Game Stop. I wish you the best of luck on your gaming laptop. Just realize that a good one goes for around $1500.00+ and will come with Windows 8 which is obvious that I hate because I repair laptops for a living. Poor laptop just wants to be a laptop and Windows 8 is trying to force it to be something it is not.

i got a ps3 on day one was £550 had it for 2 years ylod sony wanted £150 to fix it fk that so i got a xbox 360 then 3 years later got aother ps3 and what do you think happen ylod again i love ps3 but this one broke after 1 year my xbox 360 still working after 5 years i want to buy this ps4 but like everyone i cant afford to keep buying the same over and over again because of ylod or some new thing with the ps4

Some people fit the Playstation controllers better, some fit the Xbox's better. It depends on the size and shape. Personally, my hands fit well on both, so I never see the point to the controller arguments.

What an babyish comment... "its really bad"... grow up. it doesn't work for you, so what, becuase you don't like it its bad?? child.

You must be very accustomed to the x-box controller and/or with very large hands. I have rather small hands and I can't comfortably reach some of the x-box 360 buttons (especially when really getting into a game and needing to press a lot of buttons in quick succession).

The playstation controller fits rather well in my hand and it isn't as heavy in my hand as the 360 controller.

What I don't like is the idea of the touchpad on the back.

fanboy !!!!!! coming from a ps3 fanboy.

No real information on the prices of the next gen playstation or Xbox has actually been announced yet, but given the price of modern hardware it's highly doubtful they'd anything but lower than $700, more like around Wii U release price or a bit higher.

Anywhere from $350 to maybe $500 at max for a premium machine.

If these websites actually did their research they'd see modern hardware like the A10 APUs the PS4 dev kits were supposedly based around could be bought for less than $60 by Sony, additional GPUs with plenty of RAM can probably be bought for under $150.

The fastest Bluray drives, USB 3 connectors, latest Blutooth tech & even SSD can be had for next to nothing.
A console costing $500 would be a beast compared to what we have today.

Even the most powerful mobile GPUs are more than 10X the power of a PS3, far more efficient Watt per Flop than Wii U's E6760.

IMO the base model of an Xbox 720 & PS4 won't cost more than $400, based on the performance gains required to run modern game engines like Epic's UE4, Square's Luminous, Dice's Frostbite 2, full Cryengine 3 and any other engines in use in next gen game design.

Even the actual games themselves shouldn't really cost any more to make, mainly because developers already make their models using higher levels of polygons, textures and effects than current gen machines can deal with.

Performance will jump, but prices won't be that high.

Sony sells additional controller types. The style that comes with the ps3 is just the default. They even sell a controller that has the same dimensions and layout as the Xbox 360 for the ps3. So if you like that one then buy it, I seen them at best buy. They sell like 20 controller styles so find one u like and use it. But complaining about the default model is a bit harsh. Considering they sell controllers in all shapes and sizes, u just have to look for them.

Omg I can't stand when people say this. Yes the controller is too small forthe western world, it was tailored to the Asian hand dimensions, however, Sony sells additional controller styles. They have big, small, remotes, wheels, joystick, they even sell a controller that is the same dimensions as the xbox360 controller with the same layout and everything for ps3. So just go buy a bigger controller, that's all you have to do.

PS4 may as well just use it's in built bluetooth inside the console to send audio.

Save the controllers battery power for gameplay, if you add in things like a transmitter in the controller it'll last less time for use, it'll need all the power it can get, especially if Sony adds in some new tech or their own touchscreen inside of the controller.

Since PS3 had a bluetooth inside the console it would probably be a similar case with the next playstation, there's no real reason for Sony to change that, not when Sony will think about ways to make the controller more power efficient & adding that into the controller would just eat up more power.

It's called destiney it's by the people who made halo with a lot of those ideas

THE GAME IS CALLED RESISTANCE! OH AND MANY MORE AS WELL!

The ps3 has a lot of ps only games. How do u not know that? Many say the ps originals are better than xbox's. Let's see just off the top of my head there's, resistance series, gran turismo series, killzone series, little big planet series, ratchet and clank series, and of course the uncharted series. I'm sure there's more, but that all I can remember at this time. I think there's lots of Japanese games as well, containing an entire anime genre that Xbox doesn't sell. So don't say ps doesn't have originals. IMO ps originals are better.

Got to say your talking bs there dude all my mates and the people i know who own a 360 use party chat all the time its nothing to do with age its like useing skype while playing WOW or SWTOR etc helps players work together an friends to chat an have a laugh completely unfounded to believe only the kids use it and dumb!
An yeah i suppose people could use an alternative like skype but why would they? party chat on the 360 does not dissrupt gameplay you can party chat while playing a diffrent game to your friends if you choose so going back to your suggestion of just use skype its a dumb idea when you can run all through 1 device.
I'm not a 360 fanboy but a true gamer who likes all consoles for there diffrent perks and not naive and single console minded!

My view is that i dont mind buying american as long as they dont touch my electronics, i mean microsoft and apple are just plain junk i like quality electronics preferably japan because im sorry being an american myself we dont do electronics well here they break and spaz out. I love my ps3 had it for 3-4 years now and had 1 YLOD and fixed it by wiping my hdd and my uncle has had 3 RROD and had to replace all of them and finnally got a ps3 and hasnt had a single issue. any model 250gb and up are just unbreakable. ive played mine 18 straigt hours and it was only slightly hot and never slowed down. and the controller issue is just rediculous first they sell aftermarket ps3 controllers for bigger hands, secondly i have huge hands and find myself having trouble holding the xbox controllers because of the design my hands just slide off...and for ps3 i dont even have to buy batteries, my uncles controllers died and he had to go buy batteries at the dollar store because he had used all of them in his controller. xbox and ps3 graphics are the same people 30fps 720/1080hd almost identical in speed. the only thing i am jealous of is their dang forza series gt5 yes has 1000 cars but only 200 are completely finished and they have only 4 mustangs but the same year skyline with a different engine style. oh well i will never own a piece of junk and that anonamous guy that says xbox sold more because they break is one of the smartest people in this discussion.

I have to agree with this. I personally went through 4 xbox360's.. 4 is a large number when we're talking about a console that maintains a high price for the first two, the other two were around price drops. One of those were used. I got my playstation and i have not a problem. It was actually my "computer" until i got my rig i use now. But i still frequently get on. And just saying, i don't know a single person that has only had 1 xbox. That is a terrible failure rate, just in my small town. I'll say roughly 9 friends i can think of right now, have went through 2 or more xboxes. 9x2= 18 xboxes. Ridiculous. But i'm not a fanboy, this is just the truth people don't want to see. Kinda like how CoD fans don't "believe" Battlefield 3 captures the war experience better in a more adult fashion. Just look at the facts and accept it.

The PS3 has technically sold faster than the Xbox 360 globally.

Now PS3 has sold 70.2 million units, next the 360's 70 million, so PS3 has now overtaken the 360.

As the post underneath mine says the PS3 was released a year after the 360, technically PS3 would be at a similar level if it had sold 10 million units less than the 360 because of the console coming out a year after 360.

If PS3 is now edging out the 360 in sales it shows that Sony's machine is in more demand, this may be to do with the fact that PS3 is a reasonably priced, well equipped bluray player, as well as a quality games console, which has increased value in the eyes of consumers over the Xbox, which cannot play blurays.

What will happen next gen remains to be seen, technically from a sales point of view the Wii was the king of the current generation selling over 90 million unit. Wii U is selling well, some 400,000 units from US sales alone, nintendo expects they will sell about 3.5 million by the of the year around the globally, we'll have to wait and see how PS4 and Xbox 720 do, though I think demand for them will be high.

In terms of hardware performance I don't doubt PS4 & XBox 720 will be a significant jump in power compared to the Wii U, probably with costs not being much higher than the Wii U if both companies don't try to bundle performance tablets with their machines, but even if they did copy nintendo they could probably add a decent jump in power by not going down the low-wattage, tiny box route that nintendo has with the Wii U.

The 360 has also been out a year longer than the ps3

acctually there are some games on xbox that are "3d" but require the nerdy glasses
