Got it, thanks.


*ignores them and goes crazy with hype*

That's not to say you should not expect things to look and play significantly better of course. The PS4 NEO will be largely just improving on base PS4 games, so its not as if it needs to actually show major differences on its own merits. Since its sticking to that baseline, it can use its power for just improving the presentation aspect.

I just want better 1080p. It scales well with 4k.

To me, 1440p looks worse than 1080p on a 4k screen.
Yes 1080p looks better upscaled, however I'm pretty sure you will be getting higher pixel counts than 1440p. Upscaling will focus on resolutions higher than 1440p, like 1800p for example. Many games will be upscaling from 2880 * 2160 and many resolutions in between.
 
Can I just say this?

Remember back during ps4 and xbone launch hearing that epic wanted 2.5 tflop machines so they could do what they were showing in there ureal 4 demos. And we were all talking on this site about how monstrous those specs would be, and gawking at the Samaritan and infiltrator demo. Well we are getting at minimum almost 2x what they were asking for. So we should in a way all be kind of pumped. 4.2-5 teraflops in a closed system is going to be pretty badass.

I can't wait till Wednesday

I think it's hilarious people care about what Epic want hardware wise when they have basically committed their entire company to f2p games.

Won't those also look like ass due to not scaling as equally as 1080?
 
For the more technically challenged among us, assuming the leaked specs are at least ballpark true, would the jump from the PS4 to the Neo be as profound as say, 360 to One or PS3 to PS4? Roughly?

Sony say that the PlayStation 4 is 10x as capable as the PlayStation 3, it would be roughly the same from the Xbox 360 to the Xbox One as-well, as-well as having 16x the memory. I'm not 100% certain about the CPUs, but I do know that they are a lot faster.

The jump from the PlayStation 4 to the Neo with the rumored 4.2 teraflop specs is around 2.3x.

For the Xbox One to Scorpio we're looking at a machine which is roughly 4.6x faster, so pretty much half of the last gen to current gen jump in power, a 6 teraflop Neo would be 3.2x because of the power difference of the XBO and PS4.

The performance boost doesn't look very exciting when compared to the PS3 to PS4 jump, that's kind of why this is looked at as a half generation.

One thing to remember though is that most PS4 games run between 900p and 1080p, whilst the majority of the PS3 games were running at 720p, that's a 2.25x pixel count increase with a power jump of 10x, if the Neo has the option of running games at the same resolution the additional power is going to be a great benefit in comparison to the PS4.

Naughty Dog pulled of Uncharted 4 on a 1.84 teraflop GPU, and this game is arguably the best looking game to date, it would be incredible to see what they could do with a 4.2+ teraflop machine.

It would be nice to have a more powerful machine though, I believe a 5 teraflop GPU is plausible but anymore then that is kind of pushing.
 
Wait the Foxconn worker has the model number and put them on the open?

So these leaks may indeed be real? I wasn't sure to belive or not but putting a model number with it lends some credibility. Sure he could be making them up but that's a good step

Foxconn Artist drew the PS4 slim drawings quite accuretely

Dude you are totally missing the point, nothing to do with epic really it's the fact they needed 2.5 tflop to do everything they wanted with the engine. We are getting almost double
