The word is out, according to Game Informer Australia PlayStation game developers are already developing games for the Playstation 4. This is a HUGE announcement. We have been providing all types of rumors from all types of sources since before the start of 2010. However this is the first time an industry standard voice has reported on it. Game Informer Australia reported that Sony has made mention of the console, and that they currently have developers working on games now!
Playstation 4 winning concept
Sony’s PlayStation 3 has been around since 2006 and there have been many rumors that the next-generation console will arrive as soon as 2012.
The recent edition of Game Informer claims that game developers are starting work on games for the as of yet unannounced Sony PlayStation 4. Most games take 10 to 16 months to be fully developed; so game developers need advanced notice.
This is certainly not a formal announcement regarding the new device but does show that the Playstation 4 is on the horizon. This is a crucial time in the development stage, when Sony is preparing the publishing partners for the new release... Makes you wonder how much information these publishing partners are getting on the new console specs, and if there is even possibly a working model out there some where...
The image above "Sony say's that developers are working on Playstation 4" is an actual cut out of the Game Informer magazine. This is an exciting time, a lot of speculation to be had.
In the past, Sony has released a new console every 6 years, in 1994, 2000, and 2006, and if they are planning to continue this trend, we could get a PS4 in late 2012. Stay up to date on the Playstation 4 release date as information becomes available.
Perhaps Sony won’t be announcing the PS4 anytime soon, but the fact that they said developers are working on PlayStation 4 is good news.
Sony has not commented on the story, however, Game Informer has the article in their news section and not their rumors section. We are moving beyond rumors and quickly approaching a time when we will know what the Playstation 4 will be all about... But before then, we ask the SonyPS4.com readers;
- What do you think the Playstation 4 will be capable of?
- How much will the Playstation 4 cost?
- When will the Playstation 4 be released?
- Are you looking forward to the Playstation 4?
- Let us know what you think!
There are many reports that Sony is working closely with several developers to ensure that the Playstation 4 SDK (standard development kit) will be much easier to use for game developers, which will result in more/better game titles for the Playstation 4. One of the few complaints regarding the Playstation 3 was the difficulty level in developing games, and how this could have adversely effected the number of titles released, there are a lot of great game titles for the Playstation 3... but maybe there could have been more. That is why we are so excited that Sony is working closely with developers to create an SDK that can be easily used to create riveting and amazing game titles.
Exciting times for Playstation fans!
