Support NeoGAF

[Machina]

Dudes and ladies, that slim console is FUGLY

 

[Popsickles]

'Ps3go' believe. A hand held ps3 with 200gig internal flash memory that plays ps1,2 and 3 games hence trinity codename would be awesome.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

I like it when hardware rumors get good and crazy.

*popcorn*

 

[LelouchZero]

A new handheld would be beautiful! I'm really hyped to see what will Sony show at the PlayStation Meeting!

 

[MatthewB92]

Psp like device? Like the shape? Not a lot of info.

 

[ironcreed]

10lbs wtf

Neo:

PS4:

 

[thelastword]

Bodes well for the NEO that it's heavy, this means some good cooling solutions and a higher possibility that they go with higher clocks on NEO's GPU and a more powerful CPU.


Well a Slim PS4 was always expected for the holidays, I have a feeling it will debut/launch in October in collaboration with the PSVR.


Another Vita is awesome, as Vita was the best and most powerful handheld, now imagine the new VIta with a hybrid zen and also a hybrid 460/470, that would be insane. A RX460 hybrid most likely.

 

[Oregano]

Vita failed cause major western publishers didn't develop for it after the first couple months, thats it. Memory card prices were shit, but not enough for sales to crater THAT hard.

Vita had exclusive COD and Assassins Creed and still gets stuff like X-COM. Its western third party support was mpees better than the vastly more successful 3DS.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

What's the point of releasing a new handheld if the Vita was kind of a failure that they've completely halted AAA development on?

Seriously. They've pretty much shown they can't properly support two platforms at the same time, so why bother?! If it's just going to be PS4 ports then I personally am not interested in another handheld.

 

[jelly]

What if the PSP thing is an Xbox Elite like controller for the PS4?

 

[Oxn]

Would have leaked if such a thing existed, unless no one has any plans to develop for it and as such zero dev kits exist. The neo leaked the moment kits went out, the NX was kits were leaked the moment they went out last year (just not the specs), the scorpio was leaked before even kits existed.

What if its the exact same kit as neo?

 

[ethomaz]

Neo and Slim are fact and makes sense even before the leaks.

Now Trinity? I don't know... hard to tell.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

But " a veteran worker say new PSP like device in production."
Is it confirmed that it's a Sony device? Could be NX.

I wouldn't be surprised. Foxconn is one of the largest employers in China that assembles almost every consumer electronic under the sun. I doubt one of them's going to know the specific brand of this product and not just the type of product they've assembled before.

 

[Delio]

Psp like device? Like the shape? Not a lot of info.

Yeah kinda just sounds like the general shape and nothing else. But who knows maybe Sony is ready to go nuts and toss dev resources to a new handheld.

 

[Hip Hop]

Vita had exclusive COD and Assassins Creed and still gets stuff like X-COM. Its western third party support was mpees better than the vastly more successful 3DS.

Sure, it had support, but questionable support from the get go.

Giving the Resistance series to someone with a horrible track record like Nihilistic Software to develop the game for the Vita.

And what did they do after the game came out and we knew it would turn out like hot garbage, as it did?

They give Call of Duty to Nihilistic Software yet again to make a game for the Vita.

 

[Oregano]

What if its the exact same kit as neo?

So Sony is releasing a 4TF handheld?

Shit Sony is going to make millions now that they can ignore physics.

 

[Jpop]

People in the NX speculation thread already think that a Sony handheld would sell more vs a Nintendo handheld next gen.

Reminds me of VITA vs 3DS and DS vs PSP all over again.

 

[Vashetti]

'Ps3go' believe. A hand held ps3 with 200gig internal flash memory would be awesome.

Battery life of 10 minutes.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Use MicroSD cards. Have faster WiFi module. Have larger screen and battery. Have faster SoC chip/more RAM, so that Vita software ecosystem can get same treatment as PS4&Neo.

Hopefully it's cheap and they rip off some of the ideas from WiiU with zero lag screen mirroring in local wifi. That might be nice.

 

[Blablurn]

A new PSP would be nice

 

[18-Volt]

Vita had exclusive COD and Assassins Creed and still gets stuff like X-COM. Its western third party support was mpees better than the vastly more successful 3DS.

PSP had them too and both sold like shit. Games that sold PSP were Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, GTA, Gran Turismo, Tekken, Kingdom Hearts and Metal Gear Solid (brand new MGS). Any one of those for Vita could have changed the system's fate.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I believe in Trinity!

 

[Oxn]

So Sony is releasing a 4TF handheld?

Shit Sony is going to make millions now that they can ignore physics.

You dunno what youre talking about

 

[NintendosBooger]

If the NX rumors are true, releasing a rival dedicated handheld would be suicide. Sony won't be "competing" this time with a platform that receives only fragmentary support from Nintendo but a unified product hosting its full attention and resources.

 

[Vena]

What if its the exact same kit as neo?

What? That means pretty much nothing. The Neo is a kit designed around a ~4TF machine.

 

[Donthizz#]

poor Vita

 

[stpfarms]

1080p screen and WiFi AC for 1080p 60fps remote play.

What I really want is triggers and clickable sticks!

 

[Ganondolf]

I don't get why the neo would need to be 3cm thicker than the original ps4. If the slim can be made with the same specs of these original in a smaller package why would the neo which has a better gpu but everything else the same (but upclocked) need so much space to deal with the heat.

Also nvidia can put a gtx 1060 into a slim laptop now, why can't Sony get the neo specs in the same size box as they original ps4?

 

[NormalFish]

PSP had them too and both sold like shit. Games that sold PSP were Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, GTA, Gran Turismo, Tekken, Kingdom Hearts and Metal Gear Solid (brand new MGS). Any one of those for Vita could have changed the system's fate.

PSP sales and Vita sales aren't even comparable.

 

[Kouriozan]

I'm still waiting for that rumored Vita 3000 with the hdmi out port.

 

[crinale]

I don't get why the neo would need to be 3cm thicker than the original ps4. If the slim can be made with the same specs of these original in a smaller package why would the neo which has a better go I but everything else the same (but unblocked) need so much space to deal with the heat.

Also nvidia can put a gtx 1060 into a slim laptop now, why can't Sony get the neo specs in the same size box as they original ps4?

Maybe Neo will have internal VR box thing?

Price?

 

[StrongBlackVine]

As long as it isn't first party studios other than Studio Japan.

I mean after the leak today. I suspect the slim model will be available damn near right after the event on the 7th.

I think the 3cm thicker is compared to the leaked slim not original so it would end up about the same

 

[novabolt]

Neo:

PS4:

Neo so powerful that it can change its colour and gain muscles .

 

[Oregano]

You dunno what youre talking about

I know it's either hilariously impractical or downright impossible to do want you're suggesting. We also definitely would have heard about it if there was something in the Neo dev kit about supporting something significantly less powerful than the OG PS4.

If the NX rumors are true, releasing a rival dedicated handheld would be suicide. Sony won't be "competing" this time with a platform that receives only fragmentary support from Nintendo but a unified product hosting its full attention and resources.

Also if rumours of NX being at least Tegra X1 level they'll be competing against a Nintendo handheld that is much closer in power than DS and 3DS were to their competitors.

 

[Auctopus]

10lbs wtf

I'm pretty sure that's about the same weight as the OG PS3.

 

[Deku Tree]

Gonna need a fork lift.

 

[WooHooAlex]

If the NX rumors are true, releasing a rival dedicated handheld would be suicide. Sony won't be "competing" this time with a platform that receives only fragmentary support from Nintendo but a unified product hosting its full attention and resources.

I doubt that Sony would release a successor to the Vita. If this is true, its likely a redesign. It could also be a cheap, remote-play only device. Maybe something related to PSVR? Who knows.

 

[Sid]

VITA 2? WTF!

 

[Exterminieren]

If you think Sony's launching a new handheld, you're crazy.

Unless they are, in which case they're crazy.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

What the hell is going on?!

 

[rpmurphy]

So if a PSP3 exists, it'll either wrestle a shrinking market with Nintendo or attempt a futile effort to siphon the iOS/Android market. Sounds like a terrible business decision that Sony could have the mind to make!

 

[ShutterMunster]

10LBs and only 3CM thicker? What? I hope that VR breakout box has been included then.

 

[StoopKid]

People in the NX speculation thread already think that a Sony handheld would sell more vs a Nintendo handheld next gen.

Reminds me of VITA vs 3DS and DS vs PSP all over again.

If it played ps4 games and had same price as nx I could see it.

 

[Raiden1018]

Is Sony crazy enough to attempt another handheld?

 

[Delio]

As long as it isn't first party studios other than Studio Japan.

Why not just keep using the Vita then? Unles this is a revision or whatever.

 

[LordOfChaos]

10LBs and only 3CM thicker? What? I hope that VR breakout box has been included then.

The heatsink is very small in the current PS4. Maybe the weight is a greatly extended heatsink, which is my hope for nearly silent operation and a clock bump from the leaked specs.

 

[Eusis]

Doubt it's literally 10 lbs (as the edit points out). it's probably a pound or two heavier and just feels denser. Kinda like how N64 carts were heavier than SNES or Genesis carts.
