In reply to maybe_later_music_dude. also another thing thats making recent graphics look better is game companies are starting to use texture assets that have a way higher source resolution than texture assets from a few years back. building a visual library based around textures sampled at 10 mega pixel and beyond resolutions must take years to aquire. also ps4 isn't stuck using the dx whatever api that eats up rendering power... they can use opengl or whatever they want to make games look 2-3 years ahead of what is curently on pc. or it could just come out in 2014 and be based on Nvidia Maxwell architecture. then i would sleep with it on a pillow next to me like Sledge Hammer!!! i would also carry it aound with me in a holster and talk to it from time to time.

i have a modded build of GTA 4 on pc that runs in 1080p but is super-scaled internally at 4k and it looks amazing. way better than ps3/360. buildings look almost photo-realistic.

what people don’t understand is that all the games on pc that only look slightly better than 360/ps3 version is because they are based on dx9/shader model 3 games because of the consoles holding back the market. crysis 1 is dx10/shader model 4 and that looks way better than consoles because it was developed from the ground up with dx10/shader model 4. since ps4 games will be built from the beggining around dx11 they will look way better than current pc games that are all built around dx9 because of consoles. the only true dx11/shader model 5 graphics that have been seen are tech demos. even if ps4’s gpu is only rated at 1.8 teraflops it will be like having a 3-4 teraflop gpu when you take away the windows overhead that exists in pc. ps4 ma only be 1080p but it’s gonna have way better texture and lighting and soft shdows…. smoke and partcle effects. if games don’t look atleast as good as the Crysis 1 tech demo i aints bying!!

Ok, Does a high end PC run models like these? No? Ok, there´s your answer right there, Maybe the PS7 could run those models

Is this Writer serious? the Artist used Zbrush and possibly other renderers to be able to come up with this artwork. THERE IS NO WAY A GAMING RIG CAN CONJURE THIS, the best you can do to achieve this is a 2500 dollar PC game. WOW! the net gen fans are sure in for a disappointment.

No no no no. I LOVE THESE ARTICLES…
All the Sony fanbois that don’t understand how hardware works (yeah its like 90%+ of them) Will all be hyped up by these pictures thinking the new consoles will surpass even $10,000 computers that Pixar uses.

And then when E3 rolls around and Sony and Microsoft share the screenshots of what their consoles can do, and its only a marginal upgrade from the PS3/360, they will be scratching their heads.

The technology just didn’t change very much since 2006… Sure its gotten ALOT faster, but the resolution hasn’t changed at all. Everything will be locked in at 1080p. So you might get some more shaders, a little bit crisper textures, but for the most part it will look like a PC gaming rig built within the last 18 months….

The reason why the jump from ps1 to ps2 was so big was because we upgraded from a 240p resolutions up to 480p (first widescreens)….. The reason why the PS2 to PS3 jump was so massive because we did a resolution jump from 480p to 720p and some games 1080p…… But today, our TV’s still can only go up to 1080p, so the jump from PS3 to PS4 will be so minimal, if noticeable at all to the majority of the population… heck my wife can’t tell the difference between Standard Definition and High Definition… you really think parents will be able to tell the difference when it comes to buying a console for their kids for Christmas?

which if you seen screenshots comparing the PC with the same game on PS360, yes it does look better, but its marginal at best, and probably not going to be worth the $500+ price tag to upgrade for most gamers.

In reply to Sucker.

If a top of the line PC cant do this, there is no way a console will be able to without going over a grand.
The idea that Sony or Microsoft will tolerate a $500 or more haircut on each system sold is absurd….. They might be willing to lose $50 to 100, but anymore than that makes the console business not worth the effort/cost (remember the bottom line is making a profit)
Sony is in the process of going in the tank company wide, not just their video game division.

In reply to Kirby2. It wont look like these shots though. The new consoles will not be a very big leap from todays generation.. in fact it will come in somewhere just behind a PC gaming rig built in the last 18 months. Most people won't even be able to tell the difference and will find it hard to shell out north of 500 for marginal improvement of graphics.
