Patrick Klepek: Sony possibly looking at increasing Neo specs due to Scorpio
- Thread starter Obliterator
- Start date
I just want it to come out this year, even if it uses "base" Neo configuration we heard from before. Even that spec is a good one IMO. $400€ is also a sweet point, I would like them to hit that.
No. Really wide array of events made PS4 into a success, including very good relationship between Sony and their consumers.

Why are people still quoting Osiris?
We really believe God of War and Deep Down will be launch titles when everything is pointing to Neo releasing this year?

The reveal on September 7th is absolutely happening

Overclocking the GPU by 33% seems like an impossibility. The machine would melt and/or the fan would spin so loudly the PS4 would literally take off. At this point I think an overclock would be all they could do though. But probably not by 33%.
This was before RX 480 was released and showed how much of a disappoint the Polaris architecture was.
Yeah, Sony had a good run.

Huh? How are those situations the same? Sony and Microsoft both announced and released around the same time back in 2013 and space were rumoured not long before that.
In this instance, Microsoft has flat out given a figure and Sony will be RELEASING their console up to a year or more earlier. Microsoft will have close to a full year to make any adjustments, even if they're minor ones.

Layden becomes Sony CEO, Major Nelson is killed, Spencer kills Layden in retaliation ... video game console arms race ... Armageddon. End of the world. Inevitable.

I guess they didn't have to release the new iterative console now. They could have waited until next year like MS. I do wonder why they were so gung ho about pushing it out now. Maybe it really does have to do with VR.
Bingo
no it wasn't. it was only the 8gb gddr5 meme and because it was 100$ cheaper. power wasn't even a factor at launch
also the MS suicide

Yes and no. The SoCs have the benefit of decreased latency potentially that can improve performance and makes developer life easier. They are also cheaper than 2 parts that might mean you get a better part for the same money.
The disadvantage is you are sharing potential die space and TDP with both the CPU and GPU which limits what power can be crammed inside those boxes. Though, no-one is looking at going back to PS360 era expensive systems, so it's not like you'd get a huge CPU and GPU in those machines spared no expense.
Icespide is being facteious
Yeah? But the rumors of Patrick were not the ones who confirmed the rumor of September launch, which was the french site. So why should i put them in the same category

Patrick and Austin both confirm in this Periscope its on the 7th and say outright they have multiple sources confirming it. The info was floating around for a while but they didn't publish because they wanted 100% confirmation which they now have. The French site just beat them to the punch
Edit wait you though it was launching September 7th? That's just the reveal

The competition is launching a machine that will most assuredly have a totally different architecture, which makes the next Xbox less of an update, and more of a new generation in disguise.
Not that they should imo because they have a 1 yr or so headstart against Scorpio and even if MS gain back marketshare in the US/UK I think PS4 Neo will still be ahead. Although I guess it could be their plans for next gen are late and not wanting to give up the "most powerful" console marketing could as make them worried.
They could in theory but at the cost of increased power amount other things.They could also go for a bigger die to allow for a bigger GPU.
Do people really believe this? It was definitely one of several factors why the PS4 became a bigger success than XB1, but it's far from being the only reason or even the most important factor either.
Edit: Joke post? Baah.
What rumours about September launch? Gameblog said September event, not launch.
Pretty much the highest I could see it feasibly getting to without a major design change is a 2.4Ghz jaguar, ~250 Gb/s RAM bandwidth, and 5.1 Tflops GPU

Nah, it's just about making more money and hitting their 20M target. And they need it out before next fiscal year.

The joys of competition.
some people really do
He probably meant event and accidentally wrote launch.

Yep MS just jumped to a new generation while Sony update and Nintendo is fishing on blue oceans
That is just crazy rewriting of history. Price, power, first party and MS own goal with the DRM plan (which Sony took advantage of) were all factors.

CPU will still be massive bottleneck if it is still Jaguar.

Possible upgrade to Vega AND HMB2? YES PLEASE!
There's still a lot that can be done on the GPU side without even touching the CPU, especially since Sony wants devs to chase 4K of some type on this machine. Neo will just have the same framerate targets as the standard PS4.

Yeah, I have a feeling when we get to the end of 2017, we're not going to be so impressed.
We have no idea what price scropio will sell at - are MS willing to sell a 4k gaming machine for $599?
Also all we got was a high level spec list, with no dev kits in developers hands, their is no certainty that those will be the final specs.
So we have no idea if Sony has or has not painted themselves in a corner.

I haven't heard anything to suggest he isn't still the lead system architect for PlayStation.

Even if Neo ships with the original 4.2 TF, I'll be happy. That's still a huge increase over the vanilla PS4. I don't own a 4K TV, I'm interested in Neo because I want better graphics and framerates at 1080p.
That being said, if they can get it closer in power to Scorpio then that's great. But it's not a dealbreaker to me if they don't.

Fixed for greater accuracy and I agree. 6TF for a close console environment in late 2017 is actually not impressive at all. Few of us have been saying this since the official spec reveal.
will never happen no matter how strong these consoles are
Too busy with Knack 2.
