Sep 4 2009Looks Breakable: New PS4 Concept Art

ps4-1.jpg

From Tai Chiem, the same designer who conceptualized last week's XBox 720 comes this PS4. And here I've been thinking it was a baseball cap glued to a coffee table. Silly me.

As the designer expects, the Playstation 4 will sport a high end touch screen rather than glossy body that the current generation gaming console sports. The CD ROM has a sexy placement and a gloss cover that can be customized would definitely be an added advantage, what say? Even the PS4 controllers are designed to perfectly match with the console and will sport a few touch screen options. From the images given, it seems that the gen next Play station will also have an embedded OLED screen, which makes this Playstation 4 game console here twice as cool as expected, right?

What's up with making everything out of glass? I've got news for you designers -- GLASS ISN'T FUTURISTIC. Self-powered rocket ships, those are futuristic. Glass is oldschool. As a matter of fact, one time I saw a glass bottle from the 1970's. That's before I was even born!

Hit the jump for several other renderings.

Looks like a washing machine.

FIRST!!!!! WHOOOO

I wonder how they came up with that design... oh wait, i found a picture of the designer making it... check it out

ooooooooooooo
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Pretty cool, but it does look like it'd be hard to transport.

it looks capable of shooting a giant energy beam across the grid

Niiice, but I'd have this thing wrapped in bubble tape all the time.

oh if only!

I don't really like any of this guy's concepts. The PS3 looks like a scale. and what a small screen.

to be honest, if the next ps looked like this I might buy it...but the xbox on the other hand, just dont make it look like a half deflated football

Moo

Is it just me, or is there an image of SUPRISE BUTTSECKS! in the last picture?

@12 you're thinking about Ollie Williams, that's why you see what you see

Wow. This guy does not have any idea about ergonomics and how the products are used. I do believe that there is a reason that we dont have dome shaped consoles and a reason why they dont have glass panels as a part of them.

It's like the gay brother of HAL9000.

@3 YOUR ARE MY HERO.............I LOVE THE PICTURE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH IM DYING LAUGHING HERE WITH MY CO WORKERS

Looks retarded. Why does concept art look so stupid? These designs will not even remotely be considered for the design...

how about the fact that the cd doubles as a saw from the looks of it, awesome for slicing off fingers and gaming all at once

Nice pic stompy. Looks like an inspirational poster. Just needs a caption.

Great. More lame concept art.
I am not a big gamer, so I may be off base here, but who cares about what the system looks like? It could look like a cardboard box and it would not make a difference to me so long as the functionality was top notch.

Looks cool but definately only as a concept...it would have to be MUCH bigger than a round chunk of plastic slightly bigger than the CD to hold all its hardware! Remember....as graphics get more intense...so do the size of the cards!!

Why the hell would I want a touchscreen on the console??? Isn't that what the controller/TV are for?

This message is only for those who have negative comments about this concept PS4 device.
You people are f*ck*ng stupid and annoying as hell !
I understand since this is your own opinion but you know what F**K U ! why is it that you people always have negative comments about this or that? As if nothing is ever good enough for you people. Just 10 years ago if we were to see something amazing as this, we would be drowning in happiness and admiration of such worthy product.
Look at the PS1 or the Nintendo when it first came out did any of you F@ G ever talk shit about it ? NO ! and consider how bad it looks compare to the ps3 now aday. spoil bunch of retards !
You people live in a world where you are so use to reject things nothing is ever good enough OH this Burger taste like shit, Oh this drink tastes funny, OH my computer is too weak .. my car is ugly.. WELL F*CK **F consider how people around the world dont even have food to eat or transportation to go around.

I just want Sony to use this design so that I can laugh my pale white ass off at Midimaximum (#17).

Ha Ha! CD ROM drive! This guy is RETARDED. PS4 will be a network based machine with no physical discs or drive other than an HDD. Won't be backwards compatible either.

Just mark my words.....

whatever it turns out to be, no one is going to be able to afford it anyways.

@ 25. bobo

You sir, are moronic and your statement is ironic. Saying "oh you people are stupid" yada yada contrasts with the rest of what you are saying.

And yes, this is horribly ugly. It looks like an over designed CD player left on my mother's glass chopping board. For fcuk's sake... it looks like my mother's chopping board. It doesn't really give me the impression of a high end gaming console. I've seen USB sticks which are way sexier.

looks horrible. i agree, why would you want a touch screen on it? you'd have to sit like 1m away from your tv in order to use it :/

soo what if you dropped it? f*kn thing would probally shatter lol

looks pretty cool

This is a concept and I'm going to wager that Sony would never resort to such a look.
But, OK, instead of talking about looks, let's talk about practicality.
Glass is ridiculously fragile and should not be used for anything you've spend so much on. It could be acrylic, which is sturdier, but I live in earthquake country so I'd expect something a little wider on the bottom. I think Sony would understand that since they are located in an area with a greater threat of quakes.
Where are the R1, R2, L1 and L2 buttons? I enjoy the 4 trigger controller configuration (which is one of the reasons I'm more a PS fan than an x-box humper). now, if they want to make the PSP look like this, I'm all for it (of course keeping in mind that it should be acrylic.
As for the touch screen, I'm fine with that if the whole thing is wireless. I can sit it up on the coffee table if I think my boyfriend crossing in front of the table won't knock it down. One of the best things about the next gen consoles are that he can no longer trip over my cord (or raise his too quickly and trip me with his cord). So what's the plan about cords? Cords+touch screen=shattered glass all over the floor?

Looks much better than that Xbox concept posted previously, still needs some work, but it doesn't look bad!

Reasons why this is dumb.

1) Glass
2) Why would you make the console wider than it actually is?
3) Spiderman font

@ 25 You are eff*ng awesome.

@25. I get why you asteriked the word FÜCK, but why did you bother doing it to the word OFF?

That's all, just curious.

@ 25
Stuhfoo, just because you still drive a Celebrity with an 8-track in it, don't play the holier than thou shit, these geeks will eat you alive. And then crash your computer and laugh. So, noob, we get where you're coming from, but obviously you don't get the sheer crap of this whole set up.

How many controllers have been thrown at the tv/wall/floor/chair/person/whatever and gotten smashed?

Don't play like I'm the only one who got mad enough to sling a controller.

I'm just sayin, one level of halo and a few shots of jager...you're going to be seriously upset with yourself.

Really Stompy the picture should be of an Alien cuz it looks like this concept artist is making up futuristic SPACE SHIT!!


the PS4 and Xbox 720... oh god! Where and HOW is that shit going to fit in anyone's entertainment center?

I hate it !

@25

ITS MADE OUT OF GLAAAAAAAASSSSS.

Must See!!!

I agree with almost all of your post but to be nitpicky, you like PS over XBox b/c of the four button triggers? You should maybe go get a second look at the 360 controller....

Looks like a touch screen that I would break because the damn Tank came around another corner without any preemptive music.
It's new and strange and I don't like it!

#25 awww did someone have a bad day today? here have this so you can wipe some of that sand out of your v4gina! TOTAL WIN!!!!111 to complain a bout whiny people, by doing some whining of your own :) I like that

hey GiNORMAGANTUAN, didnt you score the title 'man-whore' recently?
high-five!

@25 Its really hard to take criticism from someone named after a clown. "Hey Hey, Hi boys and girls....." Give yourself 12 cream pies to the face and have a nice lie down.

Want!

the directional pad needs to be more like the xbox 360 or sega genesis

it looks like a little black hole device that might suck ya' in if you look into it tooo long...you'll eventually end up in some horrid dimension of rainbows and glitter

Wonder what would happen if you break that. Whoooooooooo boy!

Beats the hell out of my old reel-to-reel modded up and ROMed to play Coleco Vision. Using iPods for the controllers gives the whole rig that nice retro-to-modern feel.

Acrylic wireless touchscreen might get me to pull the trigger if they were to integrate universal remote capabilities (might justify some of the cost too...those damn things are puh-ricey).

I dunno...just spitballin' here (one of my favorite phrases to laugh at people for using - almost as good as watching someone who uses "air quotes"...just HAD to put that in quotes).

THAT IS MADD!!! I LOVE IT THANX!!

Great, so now the consumer is expected to pay for a completely unnecessary touch screen as well. That will sure help keep the price down. Surely Sony have learnt from the PS3 debacle that yes, people really will avoid buying it if the price is too high.

I bookmarked this site, Thank you for good job! Thank you! I would now go on this blog every day!

If I wanted one of these I'd hotglue my DSi to my TV.
Then shoot them both.
Repeatedly.

THAT IS AMAZING!!!! DON'T LISTEN TO ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE IT...MAKE IT!!!!! MAKE THE FUTURE!!!!!! GENIUS

Yeah, they took a year to find space in the ps3 controller to put a rumble feature, imagine doing so in this. they would have to use magic...

That lcd on the glass screen and the cd drive is awesome ... No more tv!!!

Omg that is awesome glass everthing ... but how much will it cost...

Ps2 first cost £100 +
ps3 first cost like £500+ (if i'm right)
and the new psp go is like £250 omg

The psp wil be like £700+

The PS3 is a fairly bulky console, due to all the hardware necessary for it to operate and perform as expected. While this is a neat design, it wouldn’t be practical. There isn’t enough room to incorporate all of the things that would be expected in the PS4. Now while I may not like this so much as a game console I think it would make an amazing design for a dvd player.

it is sick but y is it made out of glass ?

BOB1 sut up bruv ur butters
