Has anyone read the original EDGE article that this is pulled from?
I mean, this does make a lot of sense. PS4 is doing so well and launching is new and upgraded console is unprecedented. PSVR being the catalyst seems totally believeable to me.
Everything about the Neo is just awful to me.
I hate that they're basically making the OG obsolete.
How else they Gona sell 20 million consoles this year.*buys PSVR for PS4*
"Boy, this is rough!"
*Sony announces more powerful PS4K*
"Boy, guess I'd better get that unit to justify the $399 I laid out for the VR"
...is what Sony hopes and prays will happen.
They aren't.Everything about the Neo is just awful to me.

I know this isn't officially confirmed or anything but I do expect Neo to easily have the better VR experience. It's basically a given which makes me think I should just wait until next fall for PSVR and see what launch owners think/how their headset is holding up. Might actually get an oculus rift first if I even get a VR headset
This is true. Try playing a demanding VR game on an equally powerful PC as a PS4. Sure the indie tech demos will run just fine, but no one can expect to tolerate something like Star Citizen with inconsistant frames. It would make people sick to their stomach.
Not only will the OG PS4 not be obsolete, but it will still be the main development platform over the Neo for many years to come. The install base of the Neo is going to be absolutely tiny compared to the PS4 for quite a while.
People have this exactly backwards. The PS4 isn't going to become the unwanted stepchild to the Neo. The Neo is going to become the enthusiast only, TitanX like, high cost version of the PS4.
this is nonsense. my note 5 does vr decently with my gear vr. obviously a launch ps4 packs a much bigger punch than a cell phone...
so that 40+ million install base doesn't matter much if psvr is going to be mostly geared towards a brand new audience
that's what this sounds like
Why? I thought the PSVR headset came with a separate processor inline that looks like a mini PS4.
Surely the PS4 neo is basically going to have that processor built in?
Do people really not understand what they are proclaiming?This is true. Try playing a demanding VR game on an equally powerful PC as a PS4.

The denial and the exaggerations built on top of that in this thread is hilarious to be honest.
People really want to believe that their PS4 will be a good VR machine.
Time limited demo in controlled environment. We have no idea how well it will work as full games

i don't know how else to explain it dude. i thought psvr was releasing in 2016 to open up to a large enough install base, which makes sense - now it sounds like Ps4K's main purpose is to facilitate psvr but if that's the case then it's moving mostly on a new platform, not one preexisting with a 40+ million installbase.Please can you explain how you got from A - I-don't-know what letter here?
Not much actually.
It was right in front of us all along!The denial and the exaggerations built on top of that in this thread is hilarious to be honest.

PSVR is fine on the regular PS4. Obviously things look better on Neo, but considering the performance requirements, the actual experience is largely the same.
I like how it was going to be "truly awful" despite people trying PSVR on launch consoles for months now. Totally makes sense.
We have God knows how many quotes from devs over the last 2+ years who have been impressed with/surprised at how well the PS4 handles VR.
i agree that everything about Ps4K is awful, but they're not making the OG obsolete. they're meant to coexist in the same gen.Everything about the Neo is just awful to me.

OK definitely shelving this article under hyperbole now that some devs have commented.
By that, they are talking about running VR at a proper state. But it is not as all as good as the pc based.
For the pre-orders I seem to remember those in the US had to wait days to do so because Sony weren't announcing anything? Sorry if I have my wires crossed here.
I doubt you'll be able to run PSVR on a normal PS4 - forget the computing unit (the black box).
I think PSVR will be PS4 Neo exclusive. Which would actually be a bad move.

The thread is Gaf at its absolute worst. Inaccuracy & misinformation all over the place, chronic hyperbole, people not just jumping but pole-vaulting to poor conclusions, not to mention a smattering of Xbone fans stirring the pot.
First, the quoted article is a re-write of one from Edge, so it isn't even the original source.
Second, this is one anonymous person as a source, contradicting not just press reports but the words of fellow gaffers, gamers and devs who post here, who gave experience of using PSVR.
Third, the PC comparisons are really pointless. Vive and OR are pushing nearly twice as many pixels just to achieve the baseline resolution for the panels.
Finally, that the re-write article YET AGAIN repeats the erroneous information about the breakout box is a big red flashing alarm.
this definitely isn't the first time I've read that Ps4K is designed and designated for psvr.So what you're going to do is let one anonymous mis-quote divorced from its source contradict all the PSVR impressions you've read on Gaf?
