Whenever a new console is on the horizon, there tends to be a flood of mockup images created for what people think it will look like - sometimes masquerading as the real deal. They are often just fucking atrocious. Let's post them here.

I bet we all hope the NX looks like this:

Here's a PlayStation 4:

Like, what in the fuck

 

[hydrophilic attack]

I remember a lot of talk about an always online Xbox. Man was that a stupid idea that only a deranged fan would come up with.

 

[J3ffro]

Like, what in the fuck

Literally what I said. While the images seem well crafted, those are both horrifying, and I can only imagine how much time was put into each one.

I love how the Nexus mock-ups points out how nobody takes handhelds out of the house.

 

[GulAtiCa]

I remember all the crazy and dumb mockups people did for the Wii before it was revealed. lol

 

[Small Mailman]

I bet we all hope the NX looks like this:

Pretty sure this thing played my CD's back in 2000

 

[Firebrand]

Here's a PlayStation 4:

Like, what in the fuck

Hah, a controller that looks like banana, they would never.. oh.

Remember the Nintendo ON?

Right?

They didn't even bother to get the right colors for the buttons. What a lazy job.

Fairly certain there were CD cleaners/resurefacers that looked like that.

 

[User 479360]

Man...that boomerang. I remember that, and boy am I glad it never went into production or became final. Yikes.

 

[Blobbers]

NX Portable

 

[Toxi]

The NX in the OP looks straight out of 1997

 

[Small Mailman]

This fucking star pad controller thing. I still can't even begin to comprehend how games would have been played with this. I remember seeing this in a magazine and just gazing at it for hours trying to figure out what the fuck it could possibly be.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

First image is huge...lol

I actually liked the first one lol

No that was PS3. I remember for the longest time thinking NO!!!!!

 

[SalvaPot]

The PSgrill.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

The thing I hate about all of these is you can never tell what anything's supposed to be made out of

Like is that glossy plastic or dark glass or shiny metal? who tf knows

 

[diffusionx]

There's always some good/hilarious internet mockups around Apple stuff.

No that was PS3. I remember for the longest time thinking NO!!!!!

There was a PS1 batarang controller that was really nice. =(

Nintendo ON was the best one. There's a reason we all remember it a decade later.

PSVR

PS4

Finding these is kind of fun.

Haha...lets go ahead and throw in the PS5

 

[SageWaterDragon]

NX Portable

I don't know, I think that looks really cool. I doubt it will look exactly like that, but after the Sharp deal and their screen patent it's almost certain that their next controller will do something like that.

 

[khaaan]

I wish we got more mockups

The opportunity to imagine "what if" only lasts for so long.

that NX design is actually really cool

 

[Small Mailman]

The PS3 batarang seemed really cool to me back when I first saw it. I would have totally frisbeed that to buds while we hot-seated. Guarantee ya.

 

[Shun]

Looks like a rice cooker. why.

That controller still exists somewhere.

 

[corn_fest]

NX Portable

This is such a stupid idea if you actually think about using it. All that extra screen space around the buttons is just going to be covered up by hand-meat anyway.

 

[Trumpets]

 

[Business]

The PS3 banana really was something else.

 

[CLEEK]

Kinda on point to this thread, This will always make me laugh.

PS4

This stuff drives me crazy. I see it all the time when industrial/packaging design students post their work online. Making a bare piece of glass capacitive or a display would be a technical marvel but rendering glass for the sake of a concept is just lazy.

 

[GulAtiCa]

I loved the Nintendo ON video back when it was made public. Just loved listening to the music. Feels kinda weird to even think that that was over 10 years ago now.

 

[John Caboose]

Yeah most of these mockup things just look completely ridiculous.

This made me laugh more then it should of.

I have to say that controller is very similar to a Logitech PC one which is really nice. I had one for a long time and its very comfortable. DS3 was nice, but the batarang would have been nice too.

I like this one to be honest.
