I've had my PS4 for less than a year. If this is true...
Hm, Nintendo basically "did" this before, with Gameboy Color and Pokemon Crystal.New 3ds doesn't count for reasons.
"Significant sacrifices."
It was also stated that these games will in fact work for the PS4 but with considerable sacrifices made to performance.
Why is this a bad thing? So PS4 still plays games at PS4 quality and PS4K plays them at PS4k quality. Nothing is lost for PS4 owners.Fuck this.
How many insider sources did you need? There's been tons of smoke.
What current AMD card is 2x GPU power in the current PS4's APU?
Not sure why they are chasing 4k in the same year as VR
Ps4 success making them bullish
Sony isn't new in this behavior. We've seen Nintendo do this with the N64 and MS with the original XB1 vision.
Success breeds this stuff.

#MicrosoftTooIt's amazing how much "fuck Sony!!!" and "typical Sony!!!" and "arrogant Sony is back!!!" comments there are when Microsoft has already pretty much confirmed they are doing the same thing.
Wouldn't they just still run at 1080p/30fps like 90% of the PS4 library? What changes exactly?
You think they will intentionally cap the games at 20FPS or something? The PS4 games will still look like PS4 games.
Day 1. Anyone with a regular PS4 will just get these games with PS4 level performance is all. As if the PS4K never was an option.
People can stay where they are if they want, and people can upgrade if they want, and play the same games.
Win/win.
In that vein, PS4 games have all been garbage thusfar because a PC will run them at a higher fidelity. It makes no sense.
Personally, I'm not even bothered by PS4 getting lesser versions of games. Obviously, if you have a more powerful and a less powerful box, the less powerful box will be....lesser!Sounds like current PS4 users are getting the short end of the stick here. Not happy about it at all.
This was bound to happen. I don't think its going to be a massive fuck you. The first time its a surprise to everyone who didn't consider it to be a possibility... only thing is that they need to ensure that original PS4's are able to run games acceptably, at least for the next couple of years.
Glad I waited for a ps4 now.
"Significant sacrifices."
Nintendo does it all the time and people seem ok with it.
Btw we can expect this shit to be the new normality?
So they think I'm going to spent 399 every 3 years with the old model left in the dust?
Fuck them.
Arrogant Sony coming back stronger than ever.Not sure why they are chasing 4k in the same year as VR

499 sounds too cheap for a gpu 2x as powerful as vanilla ps4. And a new cpu...nah. I think it will be more like 599 and even with that Sony will be eating 50-100$. But they probably won't mind since its gonna decrease in only months time.
Why would you come over here with this, anyway? If you say it's part of a meeting YOU had yesterday, you're putting yourself out in the open in a big way.
That's pretty risky of you.
Way to screw over your userbase Sony.
