Eric Hirshberg has briefly commented on the potential PS4 and Xbox 720 ports for the recently announced multiplatform title, “Destiny.” According to a report by Eurogamer on Feb. 17, the CEO of Activision Publishing, the same company behind “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2,” disclosed that they can’t say anything in regards to the next-generation systems. However, he also mentioned that they are building the new franchise to be “wherever gamers are.” The comments from Eric Hirshberg regarding the potential PS4 and Xbox 720 ports below (courtesy of Eurogamer):
Until there are official announcements from the first parties obviously we can’t comment on any platforms that might be forthcoming, but what we can say is we are building Destiny to be wherever gamers are.
Dennis Durkin has revealed the potential impact the PS4 and Xbox 720 may have on the sales for the next “Call of Duty” video game, which will presumably be called “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.” According to a report from Latinos Post on Feb. 8, the CFO of Activision believed that the launches of the next-generation systems make it more difficult for them to forecast the future. He also predicted that “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4” won’t sell as well as “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.” The comments from Dennis Durkin can be found below (courtesy of Latinos Post):
There is increased volatility this year due to the ongoing console transition, which makes predicting the future more challenging than during normal years in the cycle. For Call of Duty, consistent with our past practices, we are planning for the mainline release in Q4 to be down versus 2012
“Call of Duty: Black Ops 2” was released for the Nintendo Wii U, PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America in late 2012. You can order the first-person shooter in the following link: “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2”
Activision will be releasing “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4” in late 2013. The PS4 and Xbox 720 are expected to launch at around the same time.
I’ve seen a lot of viral videos. But I’ve never actually seen one that relates to video games, let alone, a game console or accessory. PlayStation Move was a peripheral that Sony only recently announced, and Sony also implemented a 3D technology [via a firmware update to PS3] – all this seems to have a shift in the game industry, but Sony seems to go another mile. This time, Sony teases not only a 3D technology, possibly announced at E32010. It also strongly teased a new PlayStation product, or even more so, PS4. This is the first acknowledgment of it’s existence. Will it be at E32010?
Without further ado:
Few things:
– The TV screen shows the famous PlayStation logo – more notably, the logo seems to use the same exact design as the ‘Home’ button on PS3 – could we have been seeing something that has been staring at our faces the whole time? Which leads me to:
– Have we been holding a prototype controller for PS4 the whole freakin’ time?
– Will we be seeing a new controller for PS4, instead of the standard Dual Shock controller design?
The person in the video seems to be holding a new controller – is it a brand new version of the SixAxis? It uses a gyroscope technology to help emulate movements or moves onscreen, and more technology leaders are using it – apple is using it in Iphone 4. Which by the way is a really scary coincidence because this PS4 viral video game RIGHT at the same day as Steve Jobs unveils Iphone4. Yeah, scary, indeed.
The test screen that reads “PS4 V3.1 – Please Wait A Moment” may also point to the fact that this video may also play as a joke – because the version that’s used for the test screen seem to concide with the recently released PS3 firmware version 3.30. And that we’re going to see a firmware update? An update that includes PlayStation Move’s compatibility? Its been leaked that PlayStation Move is slated to release next month in July. When its been stated that it’ll releaase in the fall.
