Yes, it’s time to start looking ahead already as the Playstation 3 is starting to feel it’s age. The rumors have already started to roll in and we can discuss of few of them right here.
The latest buzz surrounding the Playstation 4 suggests that the new gaming console will still continue to support optical media and will do so in the form of Blu-Ray.
Even though there will still be a disc drive, rumors suggest that each game you buy will be tied to your Playstation Network account and you will be unable to play them offline. Gamers will also supposedly be able to purchase and download any game directly from the Playstation Network.
A source reports that the new Playstation 4 will also support 4K resolution and will be packing an AMD x64 CPU and AMD Southern Islands GPU in order to provide solid frame rates at the new massively large 4K. The codename for the PS4 project is “Orbis”.
Sony may also be planning on keeping backwards compatibility out of the new PS4, which is something that isn’t new for Sony fans. Going by the ten year rule, the Playstation 4 should be making it’s debut in about three years.
As we continue to hear more about the PS4 we will keep you in the loop. Just remember most of this is rumor and subject to change over the months to come.
