Sony talked up a storm about how the PS4 was engineered with developers in mind, and that's exactly what the Ubisoft boys behind Assassin's Creed say too. Of course, they're being paid to say that, probably, but watch and see how immense Assassin's Creed IV's going to look on the next generation console. Read More >>

Our brothers from another mother over at T3 have had a stab at what they think the PS4 is going to look like, based on Sony's current design ethos. The question is, would you buy it if it looked like this? Read More >>

While there's still little known about Sony's efforts to pioneer the first 4K movie download service, one thing we can say almost definitely now is that the service will in fact be compatible with its (supposedly) upcoming PS4. In an interview with The Verge, Sony President and COO Phil Molyneux almost sort of definitely confirmed that the service would be compatible with the ethereal console by promising that we "will not be disappointed." Oh, and by the way, a typical 4K movie download will chew up more than 100 GB of bandwidth. Read More >>

We don't know squat about what the PS4 will look like since it didn't make an appearance at Sony's two-hour long press event last night, but we've learned a lot about what it'll be like when it finally shows up. And now, we know it's going to have AMD innards. Read More >>

Unless you were, you know, sleeping, last night, you probably saw that Sony busted out the PS4 last night. Well, I say busted out, we didn't actually see the box, but we saw everything else! Anyway, if you missed it, or even if you didn't, Sony's got a jaw-dropping trailer for you. Yes, trailers for consoles are apparently a thing. Read More >>

After showing us tons of awesome looking games, Sony have straight up denied us the console. We have specs, we've seen the controller, but we haven't seen the box yet. No price, no release date. We don't even know when Sony will tell us more. Sony stoked our excitement, and there's no way to be satisfied. What a bummer. Read More >>

The new PlayStation 4 has 8 GB of RAM, which is a huge industry-leading number. But it's even crazier when you realize that the Playstation 3 only had 512 MB of RAM—256 for the system and 256 for video. The new RAM will enable the new "suspend/resume" functionality that allows you to instantaneously start and top playing by hitting the power button. Makes us really excited for what else all that new memory might enable the console to do. Read More >>
It's been seven years since the giant, boxy, expensive, hugely-fun and hyped PS3 first arrived. Seven years is a long time. But the next expensive, gorgeous era of gaming is here: the PlayStation 4. Read More >>
