Dreakon139 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Sony is developing games for its next-generation console, the PlayStation 4 (PS4), news portal Develop is reporting. However, the titles are said to be in the very early stages, according to a source close to the site.This new rumor follows an earlier report confirming the existence of PS4 by Sony's own executive vice president and chief financial officer, although the firm did not officially announce the device. Source: http://news.cnet.com/8301-10797_3-20123855-235/sony-reportedly-developing-ps4-games/?tag=txt;title This flashed up on my Google tech news dealy, figured I'd post it up. Like someone said in the comments, I'd be surprised if they weren't considering the PS4 at this point... though I do wish the media would stop pushing so hard for the next-next-generation already. I just bought my PS3 a year ago lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 It's still too fuckin' early. They don't need to compete with the WiiU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ille1234 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 A PS3,5 would do just fine for me and would probably suffice until a PS4 is really needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade_VC Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It may be in the works, but that is not to say it is going to be released any time soon. R&D and everything else for items such a this can take 3-4 years. So yes, they may be working on it, and I am sure they are, but its release is still a few years away.

d3m0nd00d Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Awesome they are working on games for a system that doesn't yet exist. I can't wait to get hold of those games and play them on my --- well you get the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade_VC Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Awesome they are working on games for a system that doesn't yet exist. What? Huh? ...oh...yeah....."games". Somehow I missed the "games" part and just read PS4. Yeah, yeah...throw the 'tard a cookie for effort anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Ripper Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It's still too fuckin' early. They don't need to compete with the WiiU. They need to compete with the PC though, it's really getting to the point where PC games are looking a whole generation ahead. I think 2013 would be a good time for a PS4 to appear. PS2 was released November 2000, PS3 was released November 2006. It takes 2 years to go from idea to existing, so Sony should already be way into R&D for it.

Pipsqweek Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Also, games need to have development started now as how do you think launch titles are created? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade_VC Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I just hope that if and when the PS4 does roll out, it is backwards compatible. I for one am getting tired of having all these different consoles to play their independent games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSXtreme_ Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 B/C has always been important for me. However, Sony hasn't just started on developin' the PS4. They started that the day after the PS3 hit the market. Chip-sets take about the whole development lifecycle of the machine. Stating now that they are working of game development means that they have settled on what hardware/chip-set to use and they are in the Q&A troubleshooting stage.
