We recently wrote an article asking for your suggestions for GOTY 2008. Well, we have decided that its now time for a quick poll before the end of the year actually hits us.
From the comments received, we have selected the three main choices of games, and have included an ‘other’ option. If you vote, please leave a comment telling us why you think your choice is GOTY 2008!
My vote is already in…..

In the last post here at PS4Talk we mentioned the possibility of 3D TV coming to the Playstation 4… well it now seems that Sony are completely ahead in that they might be releasing a firmware update that will bring 3D images to the Sony PS3. Sony will be supporting the Blitz Tech 3D Engine as of next year which will make it possible for the console to create stereoscopic 3D visuals and hopefully the same too for Blu-ray content. Of course you will need a compatible screen to utilise these services. [click to continue…]
After another busy post about Super Hi-Vision possibly being an option on the Playstation 4, the general opinion was no chance as the current console doesn’t fully make use of 1080p just yet. I have to agree with the comments made that Sony should concentrate on the current technology for viewing. However, I came across 3D TV the other day which caught my attention. In the UK, Sky have mentioned that they have successfully made their first test broadcast (to just 1 TV set) by using a standard Sky+ box. This test will hopefully pave the way to more shows and channels being broadcast in 3D within the next 2 – 3 years. This has led me to ponder the possibility of Sony utilising 3D TV for the PS4.
Sony are planning to raise the prices on some of their products in Europe due to the crazy exchange rate that is going on at the moment.
It needs to recoup some of its foreign-exchange losses after the yen has soared more than 25% against the euro since July. A stronger yen cuts into overseas revenue when brought back as yen.
Toshiba are launching a new SSD that is in the 2.5″ form. It’s capacity is a fairly huge 512GB which makes it the worlds largest capacity 2.5″ SSD drive in the world. It will be officially shown off at CES in 2009 which will be held in Las Vegas in a few weeks time. The 512GB SSD is named the THNS512GG8B and is a NAND-flash-based SSD.
A couple of months ago I came across a new system called “Real Time Games”. The idea behind this system was that GPS tracking devices would be put in Formula 1 cars and then as the cars race the data would be streamed to a company who would then allow you to play live against the real F1 drivers. Imagine racing around a track on your Playstation 3 actually playing against Lewis Hamilton who is driving on track in the F1 final. That would certainly be a step beyond hard on the difficulty setting level. As well as tracking data about where the drivers are on the track, the weather could also be a contributing factor. Rather then the computer randomly selecting a weather settings you would actually race in the current race conditions. One last feature of this system is that the data from previous races can be loaded up so you can play historical races too and gain that level of realism that is far beyond AI.
With Flash memory becoming cheaper all the time we at PS4talk were wondering about the possibilities of the PS4 controllers having a small amount of memory built in to them. You may wonder why…well let me tell you. I regularly take my controller around to friends houses as we have multiplayer gaming sessions, and have sometimes wanted to have my save game perks with me that I have acquired on my own PS3.

Zavvi are cutting the price of the Arcade SKU XBox 360 down to just under £100. It will be priced at £99.99 which seems like a bargain for this console.
As well as dropping the price of the XBox 360, the retailer are also dropping the price of the Sony Playstation 3 down to £269.99 which makes it £30 cheaper then previously. This is part of Zavvi’s last-minute Christmas sale which aims to make competition a lot more fierce amongst it’s main high-street competitors. Back on to XBox pricing… not only has the Arcade SKU been dropped, but also the Premium will now be found at £149.99 while the Elite is dropping to £199.99.
Last week was a very interesting week here at PS4 Talk. As you should be aware, the Playstation 4 does not exist yet and it’s not 100% clear if it will actually exist although speculation and subtle hints from people at Sony kind of say it will do as well as common sense that says a “next-gen” console will exist (even if it isn’t named the PS4). Anyway, all this speculation of various features that it “in theory” the PS4 could use, got a fair few of you talking. Here is a review of the posts made last week here at PS4 talk listed by those with the highest number of comments.
The end of another year is nigh upon us. My christmas decorations are already up, and i’m waiting for Santa to bring my presents (I assume I am getting some as I have been good). I would like to say that I was getting some PS3 games for christmas, but all the ones I wanted I already bought, the joys of being an adult!
But what game do you think has been game of the year for you? We want your opinions on the best game for you of 2008. [click to continue…]
I came across an interesting article today titled “PC to become future of console platforms?” which put forward the question of PC makers making their PC’s and laptops, console compatible. Rather than there being a Playstation 4 the PS4 could just have hardware requirements. PC makers can then offer an optional extra PS4 add on. If the PC meets the requirements then you can play PS4 games on it.
We recently asked whether you think Sony will remove the Optical Disk Drive from the Playstation 4. Well, we’ve now had a fair few comments, of varying opinions (cough cough), so we’d like to do a weekly poll to see what you think.
Will the PS4 have an optical disk drive?
