PS4 Rumors Abound: Launch Date, Specs and Code Name

if they used anti used games software, what happens to companies like gamefly?

That is literally the most awful idea I have ever heard and there is no way people will let Project 10 $ go that far. Also if people are forced to be online that will lock out a good number of people. I know a number of people with no internet who play console games. Not to mention that people's internet goes out all the time. You're telling me that something as simple as that would make it so we can't play games? Games that we fucking bought. It is god awful to think that people aren't entitled to using the things we buy for legal purposes that it is in fact designed for. The fact that people pulled giant shit storms about this being done on some pc games means that this won't happen.

Not backwards compatible, requiring internet to play games AND some bullshit anti-used games software?

Sony is fucking themselves over.

This is so retarded. Anti-used games? Backwards compat isn't a big problem. But Internet required? What about the people in Middle of Fucking nowhere with dial up?
WTF This is bullshit.

On a shit note, That pic is so crazy looking. :O

This just furthers my desire of not wanting the next generation of consoles any time soon =/.

Can't believe all of these news leaks on these consoles are pushing me towards HARDCORE PC gaming :/ ho hum.

Not supporting used games in incredibly foolish, and their logic behind it is blatantly driven by a desire for greater profit. As much as I like the PS3, I can easily see myself not getting a PS4 if this is true.

The future is grim my friends.

Pc has been using key codes for awhile. I cant blame them,They make no money off of used sales and its only logical from a business prospective. Its unfortunate but inevitable.

It was acouple monthes back, but from what I heard it was Microsoft that first came up with the whole; "Can't play used games" on their next gen console, because they didn't want stores making money from pre-owned games.

If I had the money, I'd buy one just to smash it to bits.

This whole 'anti-used games' thing is getting ridiculous. Why alienate consumers who don't have broadband connections or any internet at all? Why make purchasing a game more complex and tedious? Why make something that's supposed to be fun into total bullshit? I'm really, really, REALLY hoping all that crap is just rumors. If both Sony and Microsoft are smart(Which we're hoping they are), they won't pull this. All I see is a shit storm coming otherwise.

Consoles trying to be PCs. This is fucking stupid.

I'm pretty sure they are doing all that because it will bring them more cash, not just to piss you off. Required internet should be the least of your concerns. If by 2014 you have no internet in your house...well you should probably get it. Also, lol at ATI GPU *wha wha whaaaaaa*

Im ready to part with this gen, its been great.

Yeah I want no part of that gen if this is true. Personally the used game thing doesn't affect me much since I buy new games anyways, but needing internet to play the games is a deal breaker for me. It's not that I can't get internet. The problem is that the internet can be unstable and I've experienced frustrating moments with that.

I smell a storm coming folks... the likes of which nobody has seen before.
I'm pretty sure hell will rise up through the cracks of the earth if this is announced has being apart of the design.

Companies like gamestop who's profit is largely used games, will die.

Honestly though, I welcome this shit storm. These big companies like sony need to be put back in there place, and kicked back a few notches. They've been pushing and pushing. Raising the prices for online access, download games, etc.

This system WILL fail if these plans are put into it. There is no 'if, and ,or but'

Sometimes my internet goes down or is crap. And it's that exact time I want to play a game on my console. If I get a PS4 I might not be able to do that.

This is like a really shitty, really reversed Inception.

Meh, rumours be rumours.

No backwards compatibility? That's a deal breaker. I realize that they want to separate various console iterations, it costs more money, etc etc, but I have neither the space nor the money to have the 5 current/next gen consoles under my TV.

Seeing how I don't purchase games used nowadays, I wont be affected all that much if that rumor were true. This kind of stuff was going to happen eventually, so get used to it and be an educated consumer. Get out of the instant gratification mindset and wait for a game to naturally drop in price.

Kicking and screaming wont help your wallet.

I've always felt that Sony had more care for their customers than Microsoft, but it feels like their diligence has gone the way of the buffalo.

I can't play StarCraft 2 without having an internet connection to install it, despite having physically bought the game and having it sitting next to me. I found that to be the ultimate insult to my loyalty to Blizzard, that I ended up just not playing the game at all.

That's the direction consoles are going in, and it's a bad road filled with failure.

I don't think the PS4 could survive if it doesn't support 1080p, so that's most likely a given. People keep hoo-hollaring about this year being PS4's year (which I think we can all agree is bunk)- no, it could be as early as Holiday 2013, or even May 2014. These are the two givens in my opinion.

The rest is subject to speculation. Yes, it would be nice for PS4 to have an AMD Piledriver/Fusion CPU and a Southern Island GPU, but this is still rumor at this point. If this were true, it would probably cut costs considerably.

As for backwards compatibility, the community of bloggers seem to not have come to a consensus on whether it'll be capable of it.

The used game thing and needing internet is hopefully rumor, but it isn't totally bizarre.

With that said, the majority is still speculation/rumor, don't say "I don't want this PS4/XBox720/Wii U because x, y, z" until you hear it from Sony.

Sounds like a bunch of bullshit made up by an anti-sony camp. No fucking way they wouldn't have backwards compatibility.

No backwards compatibility and you can only play games connected to the internet? Wow, I really don't think these rumours are true, or atleast, I hope not.

I heard this both about the neXbox and now the PS4. Mandatory Online and No Used games.
I hope there Rumors.
Hopefully Nintendo won't due this with the Wii-U. So far it seems to be the only home console doing anything right next gen.
