PS4 already announced..

[AdorraEloom]

sony ran out of ideas for the ps4 they just said the hell with it just just take a vaio and patch PS4 on it.

atleast MS & nintendo thought outside the box. MS building there system around technology like building there graphics to use real raytracing & nintendo going to the ways to use there controller.

I have not seen any detailed specs on the ps4 or the xbox 720 yet. Not sure if the actual specs are out, only thing I seen was a few demos, controller and release year.

But those things aside, and this is my opinion, If a person has a good PC, and they are in the market for a console, they are better off getting the ps4, over the xbox, reason being is most xbox games can be bought for the pc version, all though a lot of playstation games are also on the PC, regarding the ps4 interviews, there will be A LOT of ps4 exclusive games that will not be out on the PC version or xbox 720.

Well the same thing happened with Dragon Quest X. They released it so late on Wii that the next console was close and they so there is a Wii U version out next month. It certainly makes sense for them to release the game on PS4. It doesn't make sense to talk about it now though as it may hurt sales of the PS3 game.

If you read the interviews (both gaming site interviews and 'SE sponsored stuff like the Live Letter), the 'what Yoshi P isn't saying is basically this. It would only hurt SE's PS3 audience if they said 'we're planning on releasing it on the PS4 as well...' Not only that, they probably have contracts with Sony that require them to not say certain things. Again, if you read between the lines on some of the gamer site interviews, Yoshi more or less says 'what I can say about it is... or I can't comment on that at this time' type of things.

GE- You mentioned rumors of next-gen and how you hope the graphics will stay up to date. Does that mean you’re looking at future versions of the game on something like PS4 or that you just hope to upgrade the (PC) graphics as the game goes on?

Yoshida- First of all, I can’t really make any comments specific to PS4 since it hasn’t been announced.

As we promised the players, we focused on the PS3 version and we’re getting a lot of support from Sony as well to reach the limits of the PS3. And we have the PC version so it’s quite easy to upgrade the graphics even if the other console has the higher spec. Because we have the windows version it shouldn’t be a problem to bring higher quality to the console. We’re making everything from scratch and that’s the big challenge we’re doing- a first in the world of MMORPGs. Whenever there are other consoles we will do our best. We want to get this game out to as many people as possible, so please use your imagination of how we might go about it.

They promised to release this game on PS3. Even if PS4 is slated to be out soon, the reality is, the elevated costs of a new system+lack of games for it mean there will be only a handful of PS4 gamers. Now 2-3 years down the road, it might makes sense to look into porting to PS4. But really, now is so not the time if the goal is keeping promises, keeping people's faith in your brand high, and building a large subscription base.

Oh boy what a silly comment.

PC Architecture is the best thing Sony could have done. Lower production costs for everyone involved, including developers, and much better optimization.

I have to agree with Abriael, you have no idea the level of optimization developers get from using an established Architecture. Also Microsoft used off the shelf parts for the 360 and will probably do the same for their next console; considering most of the leaked information suggests not only are they using off the shelf parts but most of their tech is identical to the PS4.

More on topic, considering the ps4s Architecture and the fact the game is already on PC and PS3, it should be much easier to port to PS4. They also said the new game engine thats based on the luminous engine is really scalable, so i think we can expect a PS4 port.

Sony listened to devs this time around they wanted x86 architecture to port games from pc to ps4 easy.

[SwordCoheir]

PS3 is already considered an outdated product. They got the PS4 question though and their answer was that they want as many people as possible to enjoy ARR but right now they are only focusing on getting the game out on PC and PS3.

Aye they said they're focus is just just fulfilling their initial promises then they would go from there, however with the PS4 claiming to have a x86 architecture processor instead of the PS3's cell based processor it should be much easier for them to port FFXIV over to the PS4 than it was for the PS3.

Actually, making PS4 more accessible to developers was probably the smartest move Sony has made in a long while.

That way it will cost less to port games over from the PC and less to develop exclusively for, which will more than likely lead to a LOT more exclusives. I'm going do have to disagree with you on this one.

[Linkurrra]

Well considering Sony only stopped producing the PS2 in January 2013. I'd say PS3 still has a lot of life left in it! lol
Silly OP making silly posts about the end of the world. err. console.

They said the same thing about the PS3! Yet, it wasn't quite enough ;0
PS4 is better as far as catering to developers, but only the software developers can tell you for sure. The ONE good thing about the PS4 is it's massive amounts of memory. It's a huge jump from 512MB!
256MB Main memory and 256MB graphics. it's surprising it could handle HD! lol

People compare console specs to PC but thats a mistake, its not the same thing; a PC would never be able to run games like the ps3 with 256mb, let alone run Win7. Based on what developers have said so far, they all claim the PS4 is really easy to develop for so thats a good thing. The thing is, when PS3 was developed, not only did it use a new architecture but there was no real manual to use the tools, so early developers had a hard time. Based on what developers have said about PS4, not only is the architecture easy to use but Sony seems to be providing support for their tools this time around, which in return makes coding for the ps4 a lot easier.
