Playstation launched a teaser video earlier this week that showed off the new designs of its upcoming PS4. Quick shots of the console were glimpsed in a 40-second video that left most of us more confused than confident. It took the design work of artist Andy Gilleand to breathe new life into our dying dreams.

Except that it looks like a homely version of the Xbox ...
Embedded below are the first shots of the PS4 console, care of Sony’s official YouTube page. The video gives us snippets of the hardware and we can at least confirm that it’s going to be black. And square-ish.
The video has loads of information about the console, but the images speed by too quickly to make any real sense. We slowed it down though, and picked apart the video. What we came away with was surprisingly: almost nothing. Pausing the ...
After much moaning and groaning, EA finally announced that it will discontinue the Online Pass codes policy. An Online Pass is that annoying serial usually featured in your game's booklet or cover and is similar to a PC game's CD-key.
Up until now, many of Electronic Arts' new console and PC games required the Online Pass codes to unlock most of the games' best features. These "bonus" features usually include multiplayer or downloadable content. The catch is that if you bought ...
According to sources (and The Verge), Microsoft is now delaying the launch of the next Xbox as it plans a 21 May event. The video below from What the Tech’s Paul Thurrott reveals Microsoft’s new plans, which have now shifted the supposed launch a month forward from 24 April to 21 May. The name of the next console is said to be “Xbox.” Perhaps Microsoft is copying Apple’s naming convention ("iPad" not “iPad 5”).
Watch from 54:44 for the Microsoft announcement Thurrott has unearthed ...
The Sphero robot ball gaming system is a great new take on smart toys for smartphones - and big kids of all ages will love it.
Launched last year by US company Orbotix, the Sphero comprises a 74mm diameter opaque ball made from tough polycarbonate, inside which lies a multi-axis gyro, an accelerometer and a bunch of motors that can send it speeding in any direction at up to 0.91m-per-second indoors or out.
You can even dunk in the Sphero in water, ...
"Today I'm going to show you that we have delivered on that promise, and on that dream, of developing an accessible, open game console for gamers and developers." That's how Julie Uhrman, Founder &; CEO of Ouya, began our demonstration of her company's new console.
The fact that our demo was taking place in a warehouse a dozen blocks away from the bustle of GDC 2013, the Game Developers Conference, only added to the Ouya's outsider mystique.
After an explosive Kickstarter debut that ...
This is fantastic. Retro gaming fans looking to get their Nintendo (NES), Super Nintendo (SNES), Genesis (Mega Drive in the UK), Gameboy Advance and Famicon (Japanese NES) swerve on have the RetroN 5 console to look forward to. Here it is, a five-slot mega-console from the past that will possibly sell for US$100.
Heavenly, just a render for now though
The company, Hyperkin.com originally squeezed out the RetronN 3, a three-slot console that played NES, SNES and Genesis cartridges. The US$50 console ...
Update: Edge.com confirms via its sources that the leaked documents were real. Their source reveals that the documents are entirely legitimate. We just felt it in our hearts.
VGleaks reports that it found hidden information inside the Durango (codename for the next Xbox) software development kit (SDK). After installing the necessary files, the Durango XDK -- the help file -- can be viewed and oh, what secrets it holds. Most importantly, the next Xbox will have a Blu-ray drive which installs games, ...
Anyone who watched the live-stream of the PS4 launch last week, may have noticed a lack of what we deem important. Namely the PS4 console itself. While games, the new controller and the UI were on full show, the PS4 was absent. Sony UK president Fergal Gara calls this "not the most important thing”. Here’s what else Gara said, and what we think of his statement.
Videogamer.com tracked Gara down and discussed his issue regarding the lack of a PS4 console.
There was ...
Recap
Sony did not show the PS4 console, demoed the new touch controller, an “always on” interface, a quick look at the new UI, a bunch of games, confirmed Diablo 3 for PS4 (wow) and slated a “Holiday 2013” release date.
"The most personalized gaming experience available today... the most powerful platform ever,” said Andrew House, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment. These were his final words before he revealed the Playstation 4 (but not the console).
The future of gaming
First up, the leaks ...
