"Just because the PS3 has a supposed ten-year life cycle doesn't prevent us from dreaming about the next generation of consoles, the ones that will probably display lifelike graphics, connect us to millions of other gamers and make breakfast at 60 frames a second. It's certainly not too early to fantasize about the next batch of machines, especially with Microsoft's desire to beat Sony to the punch and the Nintendo Wii looking more outdated with each passing year. That's why it wouldn't surprise us to, at the very least, hear some rumblings (if only rumors) from the big three manufacturers and third parties designing the technology; we heard about Sony's Cell processor, for example, long before seeing the PlayStation 3. With that, here's a look at what you'll probably see from these future consoles."
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
I think games like Uncharted 2 and Mass Effect 2 are the closest thing we have to what the next generation of games will be like. Uncharted 2's graphics and storyline, and Mass Effect 2's graphics and storyline. Both are incredible. These days, developers can't make bad games. Next-gen games are far too expensive to create... they cannot afford to make crappy ones. Then again it's people like Naughty Dog and Bioware that caused this. They set the standard so high, and to tell you the truth, I'm completely fine with that! :)
Next don't start till Sony says so.
I have this weird feeling that when PS4 comes out, it will follow the same pattern as PS3. First two years will be somewhat difficult and the third year and on it will really shine. Thats just my prediction though.
Here's the prediction from the article:
"Sony: After stumbling out of the gate with PS3 (bizarre marketing campaign, numerous game delays, no rumble in its controllers), Sony will build on those mistakes and successes to release a console that satisfies everyone's demand on day one. Trophies, an improved online service (ala Xbox Live) and revamped PlayStation Store will be available, as well as Blu-ray support (or whatever we use in the future) and movie downloads."
Doesn't PS3 already have everything the article mentioned? I think Sony will take a much different direction than what the article says.
I wonder if either Sony or Microsoft will decide to use more high-end processors and GPUs to maintain a temporary parity with PCs.
The available ram is the downside of both the ps3/360. Ps3 makes up for it with the disc storage and streaming from blu-ray but they both bombed with the 512mb.
