It’s been 5 years now since the PlayStation 3 released in the US, and the once future-proof console is finally starting to show its age. With rumors of a PlayStation 4 starting to circulate, PSLS takes a look at what they’d want in the next generation console.

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).

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.

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.
They should not release a PS4 for at least 5 more years.
I can't believe that list didn't even include GAMES. The PS3 had a terrible launch line-up.
Games, Games, GAMES!!!!
Lots of grunt, lots of RAM, faster bluray.
Also a bigger DS3. Gonna get flamed for this but I think the controller is too small for my hands, I get cramps after a while and even if they offered a bigger one then I would have the choice.
Plenty of launch games. Don't really care about cross-game chat.
So what will the killer app be? There's already working on it, and I'd love to see some shots, though that's got to be far enough away. :-(
