In a rather detailed and thorough examination of the underlying hardware running both of the next generation consoles, Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry has found that Sony’s next console will offer half as much extra raw graphical power over Microsoft’s.

Just before I went to the land of nod last night I saw this new teaser video posted up by Sony PlayStation which gives us a blurred flashy look at the new upcoming PlayStation 4.

Remote Play more prominent on PlayStation 4?

May 17, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 6 Comments

Remote Play – that is, using your PSP or PlayStation Vita to play PS3 games streamed from your main console – is a severely underutilised feature in the current gen. I can count on just one hand the number of games I won that actually work with Remote Play. It seems that’ll change with the PlayStation 4.

You can play The Last of Us while it downloads

One of the coolest features of Sony’s PlayStation 4 and its Gaikai-powered streaming service is that you can start playing the games you’re busy downloading before they’re all done taking up hard drive space. The Last of Us, from Naughty Dog will trial that service – on the PlayStation 3.

Take-Two teases brand new IP for the next gen

The Take-Two earnings call was yesterday and the CEO, Strauss Zelnick, was in high spirits and for good reason too. In the last year they have released Borderlands 2, XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Bioshock: Infinite to critical and commercial success.

This is Assassin’s Creed 4 on the PS4 – I’m not impressed

May 10, 2013 at 11:15 am | 31 Comments

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed 4 is not only coming to current systems, it’s also headed to the PlayStation 4 once that console becomes available. Ubisoft seems to have a bit of hard-on for the system’s capabilities, which they expound upon in this developer video. In between the the French accents and all the beard, you can see some footage of Black Flag running on the PlayStation 4.

The PlayStation 4 won’t be a loss leader

May 9, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 15 Comments

Even though it launched at a price way, way above what the average gamer was willing to spend, Sony’s PlayStation 3 was a loss leader; sold under cost in the hopes that money would be made through software sales.

Sony’s hopes are pinned on the PlayStation 4

May 9, 2013 at 2:10 pm | 10 Comments

Sony’s released its latest financial reports, for the 2013 fiscal year, and they’re not looking especially healthy. In fact, sales of all PlayStation hardware is significantly down, with the gaming division failing to make very much profit.

No “always online” requirement for PlayStation 4

May 8, 2013 at 10:30 am | 93 Comments

Will the next generation Xbox require a perpetual internet connection, or will it work just fine for those without access? We don’t know – but we do know that Sony’s PlayStation 4 has no such connection requirement. Because Sony said so.

The official PlayStation blog has stated that they have a busy week ahead with some intriguing game announcements planned. The posting was made on the 5th of May which means that between Sunday and Sunday we can expect a game announcement of some sort.

The PlayStation 4 controller has a “triple role”

May 6, 2013 at 1:30 pm | 39 Comments

There’s a lot that we still don’t know about the upcoming Playstation 4 console. Such as final pricing, availability or what it even looks like. Which means that come Christmas time, one over-eager child is probably getting a TV game machine as an accidental gift instead. Heh. What we do know though, is that the console has a controller. And it’s a controller with plenty of features apparently.

PS4’s “sharing” can be limited

May 6, 2013 at 12:00 pm | 12 Comments

The PlayStation 4’s ability to capture and stream video at the press of a button is a pretty neat feature that’s getting a lot of people excited. We could, for example, use bits of video in reviews without having to fight with a video capture device. Pro-gamers could use it to show off their skills, and regular games could just use it to show flukes or secrets. It’s being sold as a way to capture just about anything you do on your console and instantly share it – but that’s not quite the case.

How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

April 25, 2013 at 12:00 pm | 54 Comments

The next generation wars are heating up. Microsoft’s done the announcement of an announcement thing, letting us know that they’ll be ready to show the world the next Xbox on May 21. We’ve heard a fair deal about Sony’s PlayStation 4 as well, including details of its architecture. Speaking to Gamasutra, Sony’s PlayStation4 lead architect, Mark Cerny, has gone in to a little more depth about the design choices that were made in designing the system’s innards, which they’re calling “Supercharged PC architecture”

The PlayStation 4 isn’t replacing the PS3

April 19, 2013 at 11:15 am | 23 Comments

We all know the PlayStation 4 is being released later this year and I and many other gamers like me are chomping at the bit to replace the aging PlayStation 3 next to my TV with a brand spanking PlayStation 4. But apparently that isn’t what Sony wants us to do.
