Sony is set to make a major announcement of some sort about the future of the PlayStation brand and everyone in the gaming community is waiting to see the official reveal of a new console. The PlayStation 4 (or Orbis or PlaySt4tion or whatever they end up calling it) is on the way and we're all hyped to see what it is, what it does, and when we can get our hands on one. In advance of the official reveal, information is leaking out. Kotaku has a list of supposed specifications for the console hardware, a list of new features for the controller, and information on how the next generation of PlayStation Network will handle accounts. Destructoid has an actual photo of the alleged controller (development kit iteration). There's so much to discuss about all of this, so leave it to Brad Hilderbrand and I to spend fifty minutes talking about what we think of the new information, how we believe it will impact future games, and which other features we'd like to see integrated into the PS4 experience. It's all analysis and speculation from here on.
