[UPDATE] RUMOR: Sony's New 3D Technology Trailer Revealed as PS4

A leaked trailer has been making the rounds that confirms the earlier posts from the Playstation blog that point to the PS3’s 3-D capabilities.  The trailer shows what appear to be scientists monitoring a man as he plays a first person shooter while wearing a set of “Real D” 3-D glasses.  Suddenly the image begins to be too much for the man, as he yanks off the glasses.  A grimace on his face turns to a smile as the word “PS4” appears on the screen.  Don’t believe me?  See it for yourself:

 

 

If a real trailer, it raises many questions.  Are Sony going against their longevity plans for the PS3 by announcing a new console, or is this a new firmware update restructuring the system as the “PS4” while keeping the same hardware?

Time will tell at E3…

 

UPDATE:

 

Well folks it seems that the viral vid was in fact fake, as Sony announced moments ago:

 

Sony hardware PR representative Al de Leon just realeased the following: "I can confirm that this video is not from SCE [Sony Computer Entertainment]."

gamepanic: i saw that too, that was the thnig that made me question the ps4 rantings unless they were releasing the same game ala ps2 and ps3 games.

Aww man I wish it wasn't fake... I was soooo looking forward to spending about $999 on the next PlayStation console, complete with Super Blu-Ray player and the ability to alter the space/time continuum!

/sarc

it sucks it is a fake i was ready to celebrate with joy


Gh0sT94 (on 10 June 2010)

Aww it was a fake? That sucks...


greenmedic88 (on 10 June 2010)

Pretty convincing for a fake production.

Naturally a PS4 announcement would have flown in the face of all logic with 3D support and Move on the PS3 currently being pushed to boost the platform.

It would make about as much sense as MS announcing an Xbox 3.0 before Natal even hit shelves for the 360.


almcchesney (on 10 June 2010)

for a fake vid, it was pretty damn intense.


superchunk (on 10 June 2010)

Of course its fake. There's no way a huge announcement like a new console will be made on a viral video like that. It will happen next year at E3 or TGS or the highly improbably E32012.


Ninpanda (on 10 June 2010)

This is definitely not real. I don't need to explain why it isn't real, it just isn't. Unicorns and leprechauns are more realistic than a PS4 at this point. If Sony announces a PS4 NOW, with the upcoming release of Move, year after the release of Slim, and sales right behind the 360, they're simply put, Stupid.


gamepanic (on 10 June 2010)

hey if you stop the video on 0:41 you can clearly see modern warfare 2 on the TV screan.
So the video is probably 99,9% false.


Kratos_36 (on 10 June 2010)

No way. They have learned that making stupid commercials like this don't sell but Kevin Butler like do sell.


Cheebee (on 10 June 2010)

Lol @ people thinking it's actually the PS4... XD


KTurbo (on 10 June 2010)

PS4 v4.0, read last 2 seconds.


jacks81x (on 10 June 2010)

@ OGY

Except Sony already confirmed that they didn't make it.


Rawnchie14 (on 10 June 2010)

Good thing it was fake, the video acts as if no one has seen 3d anything before.


Burning Typhoon (on 10 June 2010)

Maybe the people who bought a PS3 back in 2006 are ready for a PS4... Who says you have to update to a system on the same year of it's release anyway?

However, if this is just an update to the PS3 to re-brand it yet again, it seems a little foolish to me... Sony should simply wait... I hope the PS4 will do everything the PS3 did except better, and be similar to code for as the PS3 was, so that devs wont have to re-learn how to do everything, and make porting from PS3-PS4 easy.


Wagram (on 10 June 2010)

That trailer was kind of stupid.


OGY (on 10 June 2010)

To the guy that said there is no sony branding in this vid. Wrong.
1. The headphones.
2. The DS3
That said a PS4 is hihgly doubtful and a blatent contradiction by Sony, but these videos are to well made for Sony to have not made them.


walkerj (on 10 June 2010)

I dont want a new playstation. Idk if you all noticed, but it is far and beyond the best system this gen, why would you want to buy another one?


walkerj (on 10 June 2010)

Its a fake cause they accidentally let it slip before e3 XD


LordChris915 (on 10 June 2010)

Why put so much effort into faking something like that?


playnext3 (on 10 June 2010)

didnt sony that they dont comment about rumors!!!!!!!


Silver-Tiger (on 10 June 2010)

PS4 one year after PS3 Slim has been announced? No way.


Toastrules (on 10 June 2010)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq0hA2VzP9A .... Did Sony ever confirm if THAT one was fake, because they both seem to be the same *type* of video, you know?


Kaufer (on 10 June 2010)

Deleted my post. I may have been to harsh and they did post an update pretty quick.


fidiga (on 10 June 2010)

Wow I Can't Believe Those Of You Who Commented On This And Believed It., Your All Pretty Slow As Kaufer Has Pointed Out., Firstly Notice How Theres No Sony Branding At All In This Commercial.?. Haha And The Biggest Give Away Is The Guy Has 3D Glasses That You Get From Movie Theaters!!! Common!!! Oh Yeah MW2 Is Going 3D.?. Yeah Lets Remake The Whole Game For Sony When We Wont Even Give Them DLC Till It's Warn Out Hahaha... Use Your Brains Guys And Gals., PS3 Is A 10 Year System., Don't expect A New One Anytime Soon... Hahahaha


starcraft (on 10 June 2010)

Taking the PS3 and calling it the PS4 would be the single biggest copout and admission of defeat in Sony's gaming history, I HIGHLY doubt that that is what the plan is, even if this is real.


thislife17 (on 10 June 2010)

You forgot to mention the game he's playing is Modern Warefare 2, clearly showing the menu in the clip. Perhaps MW2 will be going 3D on the PS3?

Who knows.


Ssenkahdavic (on 10 June 2010)

Between 13 and 14s into the damn video (On the right monitor of the two shown) he is holding a DS3 controller. This is definitely a new firmware updating the system and keeping the same hardware.


Kenryoku_Maxis (on 10 June 2010)

We will see.

I have more questions going into this E3 than any other. Most E3 I just await new announcements. This E3 is full of tons of rumors, controversy and expectations. Something big is being hyped....are we getting set up for the biggest E3 ever or the biggest E3 letdown ever?
