Announcement of Sony's PlayStation 4 is around the corner as Sony is going to hold an event on February 20th this year in Los Ageless . Game Lovers are all set get the pre-launch looks and features of Next generation gaming console, Sony Playstation4.
What must the PlayStation 4 do?
The PlayStation 3 has matured into a fantastic gaming system. At first, there weren't many exclusive titles for the system to brag about, but fast-forward nearly six years and it's the PS3 that's the one to beat. Sony must maintain this luxury into the next generation. For all the extracurricular bells and whistles this system will boast, gamers still want to play great games that you can't experience anywhere else. Exclusive games sell systems first.
As I mentioned earlier, there are a handful of yet-to-be released PS3 titles that don't even have definitive ship dates. Sure, some of these games may evolve into PS4 software, but there needs to be a seamless and smooth transition into the next generation. If the Vita's migration experience is any indication of what the PS4's will be, we all might be in for a bumpy honeymoon period. It should go without saying, but this PS3 release schedule almost makes backward compatibility an absolute necessity.
Game and system patches need to be streamlined for PlayStation 4. No one should have to wait 25 minutes to play a game. This also brings up the notion of installation the first time a game boots up. Some technological limitations force the need for the caching of data for games to operate appropriately, but I'd love to see this issue addressed in some capacity by the PS4.
It may sound trivial, but the PlayStation 4 is in dire need of an IR port. That's right, a simple infrared port located somewhere on the front of this box so that we can all program our universal remote controls. The $1.09 that this would cost to implement is surely worth the hours of headaches that would otherwise result from having to MacGyver some kind of wonky workaround.
