Support NeoGAF

[PR_rambo]

Before the presentation, i was sure of buying the new PS4 but that presentation actually made me reconsider. It was uninspired and it felt as if Sony didn't believe in the product themselves. No specs, no actual game demonstrations and it feels as if they got very little support from developers on this one. It's crazy how Sony is going to ruin the advantage and goodwill they managed to built with PS4.

Keep the hot takes coming!!!!!

 

[Pathfinder]

No its not???


Lol at 40% being a selling point

Hey man. Shelf space can be quite a commodity for some.

 

[Theorry]

Overall it feels abit like a poor mans step instead of a decent step. Triggered by the normal PS4 not being strong enough for PSVR,

 

[Gunztrix]

I don't care about the PS4 Pro not having a 4K Blu-ray player. I don't have a 4K TV I don't even buy Blu-rays. So I'm glad instead of including it and raising the price over 400 I get at least a $400 price. But now I have to be convinced to actually buy the thing

 

[WooHooAlex]

Seems odd that they wouldn't include it, but I suppose since the majority of 4K content will be consumed digitally, its probably not a big deal to most people.
I haven't really decided if I'm going to buy it yet, definitely not buying it this year. May pull the trigger on it at some point next year if the right deal/bundle comes along. For now I'm more than happy with my launch PS4.

Overall, I do have to say that I'm happy that I'm not feeling forced to buy a PS4 Pro, it will make the PS5 feel more important when that comes around in 3-4 years.

 

[mightynine]

So, as someone who planned to pick up a PS4, but waited until now to hear about the Pro, is there any real reason to grab the newer model over the Slim if I don't have a 4KTV? I might end up with one eventually (I've been itching to get a bigger TV and the 4Ks are reasonable), but that's still up in the air.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

As an outsider, this seems really underwhelming...no?

 

[WaLlbaNg]

When will preorders go up? Dont want to miss them, Nov release probably means it sells out pretty fast

 

[ZeroX03]

Confirmed by Richard Lawler of Engadget, guys:

What a fucking disappointment. Off to get my Xbox One S right now.

Fucking hell Sony.

You got clowned by Microsoft's $299 system in that department. No excuses. Where's Rigby and his patches to solve this?

 

[guitarguy316]

so i'm a dummy, explain to me how i can play 4k games when it doesn't have a 4k disc drive? are they saying it will just upscale all 1080p games to 4k?

 

[Frillen]

No wonder why there haven't been any leaks during the last few days. There was nothing to leak, lol.

 

[Corto]

The elephant in the room is that display latency with HDR is almost always shit.

Yes, you already told us.

 

[Ascenion]

Pre Orders live yet?

 

[DR2K]

Nothing will ever sound cooler than Neo guys.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Did it say anything about teraflops?

I'm glad you speak for all of us.

HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA hahahahaha oh man. Sony gonna Sony. Had a good couple of years then RIGHT back to business as always.

Ps+ pointless now, increased price, uninspired console designs, might as well throw the Spider-Man font on it for maximum lazy "you're gonna buy it you filthy peasant" attitude

 

[Sesuadra]

Pre Orders live yet?

Not in germany

No 4K BD support

Wow. I figured UHD blu-ray playback was a given. Are they serious?

As a blu-ray collector looking to get into 4K media, that was the ONLY deciding factor for getting a Pro.

What a huge disappointment.

 

[SmackAttack]

Can someone explain to me, as a non-PS4 owner, how significant of an upgrade this is like I'm 5? I'm genuinely confused a bit here and feel a bit dumb like I missed something.

Release date and price announced?

November 10th and $400.

 

[Link_enfant]

Serious question: is there any clear advantage of upscaling games to 4K directly by the console rather than the TV?

Like, if your 4K TV does a good job upscaling 1080p to 4K (and most certainly do it well as 4K scales perfectly to 1080p), how about selecting 1080p output on the PS4 Pro settings so you get all the non-4K graphics and framerate benefits, and let the TV upscale to 4K?

 

[M.W.]

PS4 PRObably not

 

[Myspcr_Shadow]

Sony had it gift wrapped! what happen?

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Interview on stream. Jan-Bart Van Beek says it's about as twice as powerful as the stock PS4, if not a tiny bit more powerful.

Naughty Dog excited for HDR.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Underwhelming but im still gonna trade my old ps4 for the new

 

[Trago]

The only thing left I need to know is if Pro mode games can be played at 60FPS in full HD. If it can't, that's a huge disappointment.

 

[xJavonta]

The design of this thing screams G4MER it's so ugly

Hopefully after more pictures it'll grow on me.

 

[Krusenstern]

I need to know which first party games will be patched to take advantage of PS4 Pro hardware.

 

[Duxxy3]

I don't get this, why would you not just buy 3 of the £1 instead of 1 £3? It's way more for you money.

Bread makes you fat.

 

[rinse82]

No UHD is a joke right?

 

[KimonoNoNo]

Pretty underwhelmed but I'll need a Ps4 for Persona 5, so might as well get the Pro if I've waited this long.

Hoping Until Dawn is on the list of patched games, as that could do with a boost to smooth out the frame rate.

 

[SeeNoWeevil]

nah, the elephant in the room is you posting the same thing twice

Erm, blame GAF, not me.

 

[ekim]

So how does it look?

 

[Fabtacular]

What a joke lol. I'll stick with my OG model and get an XB1 S for Christmas.

I feel like the move is to keep your console money in your pocket this winter and spring for NX or Scorpio in 2017.

 

[n0razi]

Will my OG PS4 backup with P.T. installed successfully import into the Pro?

 

[maxcriden]

Thanks to the mod who edited the date into the title!

[Spinluck]

As I get further into the thread, these post not only get worse, but make less sense.

Anyone else experiencing this?

 

[xaosslug]

bookmarked for when 4k still doesn't matter, budget PS4 & PS4 Pro continue to outsell everyone else to everyone's 'shock' despite their 'shortcomings'.

etc.

 

[Pathfinder]

No UHD is a joke right?

Sadly, no.

I'm honestly shocked they could leave something like this out, that would have given them a slam dunk.

 

[ShutterMunster]

I originally thought it was dumb not to include HDR on the Slim (apparently that's happening) but not including 4K Blu-Ray on the high end model is so bizarre and off-brand for Sony.

The Xbox One S looks better after this event. You know MS is going to be damn near giving those things away this holiday season.

 

[Kaversmed]

I really want to see a side by side comparison of a game running on PS4 and PS4p. I know they did it in the stream but that was so fast and not very convincing tbh

 

[Yurikerr]

The biggest problem with this presentation is that we're leaving with more questions than answers.

• Are games being rendered at 4K or simply upscaled?
• What are the console specs beside 1Tb HDD?
• If I have a 1080p display, the enhancements will be automatic or they need to be patched?
• What kind of enhancements 1080p TVs can get? Supersampling? Better graphics? More fps?
• Dos it have a fucking 4K BD player??

 

[UV-6]

Good for people looking to get into PlayStation I guess. Price point is great.

Mandatory 1080P 60 FPS
on games that are coming after November 10?
And maybe some older games will get a patch like bloodborne drive club, uncharted 4?

 

[Paracelsus]

Everything about this says "we just fear The Personal Computer™", because it sounds like a half-assed very specific kneejerk reaction. They are throwing proper bluray support out the window just so they can get it out (and probably because they want to sell more of their own bluray players), a "gotta keep going, I absolutely gotta keep going strong" defensive strategy.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

You also need a 15 to 20 Mbps connection to stream a 4k movie. Not everyone has that.

Bingo. I'm stuck on 5 mbps where I am.

Inb4 "well move somewhere else": It's not that easy to do.

 

[Cidd]

At $399 this Black Friday gonna be crazy.

 

[nekkid]

I understand the naming of iPad Pro, because it's meant to appeal to people using their tablets for work.

So what is meant to be "Professional" about playing games? A few eSports players? Developers?

 

[MADGAME]

Please answer this for me, GAF. I heard Cerny in say PS4 pro will deliver 4k and HDR on those sets, and the PS4 Pro will add additional effects, lighting, environmental density, etc on 1080p sets.

My question - Do you also get the additional effects allowed on the 1080p sets on the 4K sets? Or on the 4K sets is it one or the other?

PS4 PRObably not

Heyooo!!
