Yes, all of the things from pcs/mobiles/handhelds that make them so easy to use will finally be on consoles:
-suspend mode, resume console immediatly
-background downloads, installs etc
-multitasking
-better media playback options
-no more slowdowns, smooth user experience


Those are all big reasons why the PS4 is a revolution. I think the move to standard tech is another major improvment, as now we will see highly improved 3rd party support. PS4 should see nearly all 3rd party games from cell to PC. It should also see much more app support as it will be easy to port them to as well.

I also think this will be the generation were people, for the most part view everything on their TV through consoles. Moving away from the cable box, and moving to the console always on is a major revolution. The more they can people people connected to the console the better the social side will shine.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

How so?

Technology wise? No. Games will look prettier but its not gonna change how they are made.
Market wise? Maybe. Its too early to tell and depends in great part on what the competition does.


Tech wise PS4 is a major improvment over PS2 and PS3. The move to industry standard tech means way more support, as everyone is already building games and apps for it. With PS4 software companies from all mediums can easly port over and support the system. This will mean many more patnerships for Sony, and a much more versitile system. This should be the first gen we see RTS and MMO take a major role on the consoles as well.

Moving to game development. This is going to be a major change to the way games are made. This gen has seen most high end PC devs go the way of console.  In previous gens we had already seen may new techniques, because the PC Devs had already played with the tech, this gen even Crysis 3 was built to be scalable to PS3/360. In the next couple of years we will start to see devs unlock 3 or 4 years of tech imporvments that have yet to really be touched on. In addition, with the whole industry stepping into new tech, we should see some amazing new middleware tech, and programming techniques emerge. Games 2 years from launch with be very different than anything we saw this gen.

Revolution - a sudden, radical or complete change....honestly, I don't see any of that, but not that it's actually necessary for system to be successful and/or good.

Some sort of revolutions might come next-next gen with fully voxel based engines (according to Tim Sweeney, Epic's tech mastermind, you need 20-30TFLOPS for that, so we're nowhere near that yet), or bit further into the future with volumetric display technologies (think holochess of Star Wars).

VR glasses in conjunction with Kinect/Eye Toy-like devices could be another thing that might bring some radical change in Kinect/Move styled titles - scanning your environment and then adjusting game-space according to it, thus giving real physical limits to what's projected on your glasses is one example that comes to mind.

Probably because of the bolded. Your post does seem like you think it won't be a revolution because of a lack of never before seen features.

No, i think it wont be revolutionary because of it has been done before and the internet is what held onlive back.  Same goes to digital.  We are not ready to go completely digital yet.  Technology needs to advance before something like this is available to everybody.  XBL/PSN isnt available to everybody in the world because some people cant get internet but enough people has it to have changed gaming forever.  Galkai looks like it will use a lot of bandwidth although they could shock everybody and it wont, i dont know.  But as of right now going off of what we know then no, most people wont have the internet capable to keep up with galkai.  Not a bad thing because the people who can use it will most likely love it.  Onlive isnt that old.  Motion controls was never implemented right or made mandatory.  XBL or an online component to consoles was tested by Sega and the dreamcast but two things held it back.  Sega's lack of multiplayer games and the lack of making customers happy with the Dreamcast in general.  Halo pretty much popularized online gaming for consoles.  Then you have the CD drive.  I think that is the only one that that took off on it's first try although I could be wrong.  Someobody will correct me if I'm wrong.  

As far as game sharing it has been done and Onlive is still going and has proven to be unsuccessful so far. This isn't something that has been tried years and years ago.  They are still trying.  Becuase Sony is a more popular brand name it has a better chance but they HAVE to make sure people can use it on their internet.  If I was to answer this right now I would say that it is a great expansion on the online infastructure but probably wont take off until interrnet catches up years from now.  Then again as I said before mayb sony and galkai was able to implement this correctly.

Why do you keep bringing up Gaikai likes its a major part of the PS4? As far as we know at this point Gaikai is yet to announce what they will bring to the PS4...apart from what they want to do (ps1, ps2, ps3 support etc.).

Most of the major features showed off by Sony at the PS4 unveiling event like the sharing etc. are all possible with the current internet infrastructure.

Anyways...no i dont think the ps4 will be a revolution, atleast not in the traditional sense.

If the video recording feature is good, yes. You're going to see a ton of user made videos on YouTube.

That is my mistake for thinking it is a part of Galkai.  if im wrong about that then taht is my mistake but my points still stands




       

Actually if the PS4 blocks used games then I suppose that could be revolutionary.
