lol fail list especially the tech specs 24GB RAM and DirectX 12 lol lololololololol no.

And the boomerang looks uncomfortable and stupid there are good reasons it was scraped.

TheDareDevil5385d ago

24 gigs of RAM is way too much. Isn't DirectX made by MS? How will Sony get it in the PS4?

1080p at 60fps seems about right though

ilikegam3s5385d ago

They use OpenGL for ps3, but Microsoft won't be sad and won't let them use directx but then again its competition so its most likey that Sony wont use it (directx)

Tru_Blu5385d ago (Edited 5385d ago )

Well Blu-Ray is sony so maybe a trade off? You can use Blu but we can use DX.. People seem to forget that outside of gaming MS and Sony work together on quite a bit of things. Vaio anyone?? It's not that far out that they come to an agreement like that.

And 24GB of ram lol

KingPin5385d ago

totally agree

24 gigs ram? what is this fool thinking?

if we got 24 gigs of ram, we would be charged like $800 for the console. then bitches like him <the author> will whine on why the PS4 is way too expensive. then he will write articles on price drops. how sony messed up. can sony recover, PS4 is doomed articles.

My list:

1. Expanded bluray drive with 100+ GB discs.
2. Decent amount of RAM this time (LOL, not 24 GB, more like 2-4 GB of XDR2 since it's much more expensive than regular DDR3).
3. AMD Southern Islands based GPU.
4. Ditch XMB, implement more visually appealing menu system.
5. Integrate PS Store into the menu.
6. Complete redesign of PS Store, meaning better content classification, etc.
7. No more installing of downloaded content. It should be automatically done in the background.
8. Cross-game chat.
9. More ergonomic DualShock controller. For example, I have large hands so it doesn't feel comfortable (too cramped). Also L2/R2 should get a complete overhaul, fingers can never get a good grip on them.
10. Overall better marketing of all thing Playstation. Sony relies too much on word of mouth principle. They should aggresively push PS4 and exclusives on the market.
11. Include wireless headset in the box.
12. (much) Better browser, possibly integrate Chrome.
13. Better PSN stability, no more random disconnects.

@jaosobno

Everything you say there are brilliant points, especially number 10.
Sonys idea of marketing is to let the Playstation brand sell itself, unfortunately.

They've done well with K.B adverts though, giving their product a personality.

apparently the features desired are needed but not the PS4 specially at this point of time when games like Killzone 3, Uncharted 3 are starting to show off the sheer power of PS3 console.

i am personally craving for PS4 but i believe there should be conssiderable time for its launch.

Fingers crossed.... >_>

Cross game chat,PS3 backward compatibility and an awesome list of AAA launch titles with a smart pricing might make Sony win the Next gen console war with release of PLAYSTATION 4.

shreeveera5385d ago

Having mkv support encourages film piracy,

It wouldn't be that logical if they did implement mkv support ,especially because Sony profit big time from blu-ray, digital video rentals & from their film studios

Malice-Flare5385d ago

gives one less reason for hackers to hack the console legitimately. in fact, i'm pulling for them to include a better media center interface since it will be DLNA certified anyway...

ElementX5385d ago

There are too many wishlists out there. Everybody has an opinion, however do we really need 30 articles about different features people want to see in the next gen consoles?

Artpulse review for PlayStation 4 - Demon Gaming

Karl writes: - You’re placed in an out-of-this-world environment (there’s a small selection to choose from) and after a quick tutorial of which buttons do what, you’re free to play! Using the motion controllers to combine a variety of shapes and colors (and a bit of freehand painting) you’ll produce beats, synths and…other musical sounds (I’m not an EDM expert so you’ll have to forgive my ignorance on the subject) which will create and elevate the chosen track (again not a huge selection but enough to showcase ArtPulse).

Himno review for PlayStation 4 - Demon Gaming

Josh writes: - I am going to cut through all the formalities I normally give my reviews with Himno. Normally I try to go into ever Indie title I play with an open mind, and that was no different with Himno. The game boasts “a non-violent, no death platformer.” That may be true that you do not fight off zombies or orcs. However, the bit about not dying is a load of crap as you will constantly fall into the water as you have no clue where you are going half the time.

The animation is nice and it looks like it controls well but they seem to have forgotten to make it a game.

Mekabolt review for PlayStation 4 - Demon Gaming

Lyam writes: - Mekabolt is very simple in concept. Your gun itself is the mekabolt and shooting enemies allows you to manipulate them in a way to continue on in the stage. For instance, one enemy walks on a platform and by shooting it, you can use it to access higher heights. Another is a flying one that when shot, it falls to the ground briefly, letting the player have a moment to jump atop of it and ride upwards. Figuring out the patterns of the enemies and what their benefits are is the key to success in finishing stages. There’s not much difficulty since each time a new concept such as a new enemy appears, the next few stages are simplified to learn the benefits of that enemy.
