PS4 New Details Revealed, demos to be shown by Sony at E3 2013

PS4 is yet to be announced, but we may have our first details on the system courtesy of the German PSMS3 magazine. (Via Thegnet) It’s reported that the PS4 won’t be named straightforwardly and it is due to Japanese culture which believes the number is not good and stands for something bad.

It could be Orbis, a Latin name to complement the Vita, which also has a Latin name. However, only time will tell whether Sony will go ahead with the current format of naming their system or do something entirely less like the Vita.

In the leaked details for the system we have a lot of information that you should definitely take with a grain of salt because they’re so weird. Some of them make sense, some don’t but check it out for yourself.

Check out the details below.

• The code name of the console is – as reported – currently Orbis and could perhaps later be part of the final name.

• Second Games of the first generation will look like the high-end PC demos on watchdogs and Star Wars 1313 or Square Enix’s Luminous tech demo.

• Third PS4 games will not run well at 4K ‘Ultra HD’ resolution.
