Ps3 will be in it's 7th year

Anyone else concerned the ps3 will be just obsolete and we will be talking about ps4 by 2013? Who knows maybe that's part of the plan with the new game engine...

It say PS3 Released, not PS4. I doubt they are working on a PS4 graphic engine when PS4 is not even out yet. They already have PS3 but it get push back due to bad released.

PS3 is said to have a 10-year planned life cycle. We'll probably start hearing about the XBox720 at E3 2012, but I don't think there will be rumblings of PS4 until after E3 2013.

My issue is that they are designing a new mmo for a console 7 years into it's life cycle. I just hope its able to be upgraded for ps4 and continues to look new and cutting edge. Dint get me wrong I'm really psyched for the changes :)

read some of the "Updates" this guy posted. Give you some insight. Don't take seriously any ps4 images he has on the site or the supposed release date. The October update was suprising as well about the ps3 not being able to support another Uncharted.

The ps4 is gonna come sooner than later. It has to with limitations now starting to cost it business and newer consoles coming out that the ps3 will not compete with. I don't know what technically if anything SE can do once the ps4 specs are released for a game that was not designed for that system but we'll see I guess.

The game will be released on everything.

In practice, the platform won't hold them back that much. Theoretical limitations only come from zone size limitations to fit them to 500mb space. That can most likely be avoided by optimizing the engine and further downgrading ps3 textures if necessary.

Clearly since stuff like dx11 and add-ons are in the plans they won't let the platform hold them down.

Ps4 and xbox next release is also likely. That way they can max the utility of dx11 and other high end features.

I believe in one of Yoshi P's interview with RPG site or whatever, they asked about the PS4 and Yoshi stated that they are looking at the PS4, but it makes sense to put it on the PS3 now because there are more people with that console over what the PS4 will be when it comes out.

Which to me, does makes sense. We all know how much PS3 was when it first came out, so i am sure it'll be the same story or close to.

One may hope they will port to PS4 too someday, because with how much in common current consoles have with PC's should hardly make it an issue. Plus the whole reason they were re-doing the engine anyway is because of the PS3 isn't it?
They couldn't get the game to run in it's current state IIRC. Which is not surprising considering this game brings PC's much more powerful than the PS3 to it's knees.

Plus the PS3 only has 256Mb of RAM, which is an issue when the game running on my PC @720p uses much more ram than that.
