PlayStation 4 will be announced tonight in New York last round of rumors
The beginning of a new era, the reign of the next-gen squatting our salons for over seven years.
This is what will cause the announcement of the PlayStation 4 at night, even more than the arrival of the Wii U last November.
In the early evening in New York (18h), Sony will unveil what should be its new console.
Orbis codename for some, PlayStation 4 for others, whatever his name ultimately, a new era will begin consoles.
Wii U has certainly opened the door at the end of last year, but once again, it is certainly Sony and Microsoft will give the respect for the power and display of calculation and services online. Two areas where Nintendo is not the case.
Anyway a few hours of the announcement, do a final round of rumors.
A new engine
PlayStation 4 should abandon the Cell processor which was a lot of talk at the launch of the PS3 for the x86 architecture.
While for some this technological choice is a kind of betrayal of the spirit "console", it could be a particularly good way to significantly reduce the development cost of the console.
As we mentioned in March 2011, a priori three architectures have been proposed and studied by Sony for this new console.
It is that which emanated the best power / price has been chosen.And power, so it will take some rumors that spoke of a 4K display Full HD 3D proved.
New controller and interaction with Vita
In addition, Orbis should introduce a new controller with a touch pad on the top. The pad could be bigger also incorporates LEDs, which are somewhat reminiscent of the luminous ball of PlayStation move.
Maybe this will stick she uses new in terms of interaction.
It should in any case not too upset fans of previous generations of PlayStation.A rumor also stated that a new PlayStation Eye should be introduced.
It is not only more efficient but could afford to watch his friends play a game within the social aspect in this new console an essential aspect. As might prove still to be confirmed, a Share button on the controller, which would record video game session and then share it online ...
Nothing surprising in view of the importance of the "social" took the PlayStation Vita via the built-in functions and the provision of applications FourSquare, Twitter, etc..And indeed, it seems that the game allows Orbis LAN with the portable console from Sony.
To what extent the presentation tonight will tell no doubt, but it is clear that the Japanese giant to interest on the one hand, playing the consistency of his material world (TV, console, handheld , tablet, smartphone, etc.)., and secondly, to highlight unique gaming experiences that will push players in his arms rather than those of its competitors.
New online world
PlayStation 4 could also introduce a new relationship between Sony and its online service. Some rumors indicate that the PlayStation Network is now paying as Xbox Live Gold for those who want to enjoy the game functions Orbis online, including multiplayer.
But the financial aspect is not the only change.
The acquisition of Gaikai last July - which could lead to the creation of the PlayStation Cloud - has also attracted a lot of thoughts, rumors and speculation.
It would therefore indeed possible that the gaming service in the cloud used to run "remote" PS3 games on PS4 with an Internet connection.
A good way to avoid having to make the console is backward compatible with its predecessor materially.
This is a track that we mentioned in the redemption of Gaikai and was back on the front of the stage by the Wall Street Journal in recent days.
Availability and prices
According to the website Kotaku, the PlayStation 4 will be available in November in the United States and exist in two models.
If you do not know the details of their differences and whether rates should be disclosed later in June at E3, for example, it seems that the first model sold could be $ 429, or about 319 euros, whereas the second display a price therefore 529 dollars, 394 euros.
Prices far more honest than those who had accompanied the launch of the PlayStation 3.
Memory for the more expensive model was sold nearly 600 euros.
