I heard the story of the series takes place in an alternate reality... so does 4 take place in the universe of 3 or the series?

Well i have been taken snipets from around the web and piecing together some thoughts. Keep in mind this is just a rough idea from confirmed and unconfirmed info.
I believe all 3 paint a picture and we are not suppose to forget we are suppose to compare. Most of us know the theories behind the negative aspects of time travel. Time travel is not a good idea because its impossible to go back in time and change something even stepping on a blade of grass could cause a paradox. In movies 1 2 and 3 the resistance sent someone back in time to protect Sara and John. The problem is you can not just go traveling in time and expect not to change things therefore either altering or creating a new future or even a parallel future running along side the one you know but with differences. There are hints in the 2nd and 3rd movies that point to this. In movie 3 we learn that its impossible to stop judgment day even though in T2 they were sure they did, everything Johns mom did up till that point was to prepare him for what was coming from what she had been told. Reliable information from a future that does not exist anymore thanks to Johns dad and the Skynet.
What i think we are going to see in movie 4 is the result of all the meddling from movies 1 through 3. They made a clear statement that everything we know will be turned upside down and that Sarah and Johns dad got it wrong. They were told information from a future that had not already been altered by events in the past. Which is why if you watch the extended trailer John says something is very wrong this is not like the future his mother and the good Terminator from T2 told him about.
Thats my take on it and iv seen others around the web have some similar theories on it. In a way you are right its an alternate telling but not quite.
The wait is killing me though, those AI black bikes looked bad ass.
