Sony promises that the system will be ready for an end of the year release for a "competitive," price.
So you ask:
"Crazy Gamer, what do you think?"
Don't worry young one, you shall have my answer. That answer is... Meh.
"What do you mean Crazy Gamer?"
It means that so far nothing gets me excited about the system. Let me explain in greater detail.
First, here is an image of the system.
Nope, it'll hook up to your TV just like the Playstation 3. However, Sony has not shown what the system itself looks like. This isn't a big deal since I don't buy video game systems based on their looks (it's whats on the inside that counts!) I do find it strange.
As for what's in the system... it sound impressive. It has an 8 core processor, Radeon graphics engine, 8 GB GDDR5 Memory.
Plus the standard stuff Its got Blu-ray, high end Ethernet, bluetooth, HDMI and all those other typical items like USB, and a hard drive of a to-be-determined size.
I'm also pretty sure that the Playstation 4 will walk your dog, do your taxes, and monitor your caloric intake.
Anyway, it sounds very powerful. I'm not a spec person so I have no idea how powerful this is compared to a high end gaming PC, but it sure does seem to be very powerful.
What leaves me unimpressed is the software. Of all the announced software only the Witcher 3 seems interesting to me. Assassin's Creed 4 will come out around the time that the system launches and Ubisoft claims that the Playstation 4 version will have exclusive content but I haven't seen anything to suggest that it will be just a prettier version of the game.
So, until I see compelling software I will be passing on the PS4 for this year. This isn't to say that I would never get a Playstation 4, rather I will wait until some strong software forces me to buy one.
