Support NeoGAF

[Cerbero]

Did they ever mentioned better frame rate at some point? it should absolutely do 60fps in 1080p mode.

 

[Molemitts]

I was right. :^)

They'll show the slim and the Neo and show off what some games we already know about will look like on the Neo and that's it.

It was silly to expect more.

Anyway, that did nothing to convince me the PS4 Pro is worth it and I have a 4K TV. Pretty much just confirmed my plans to get a gaming PC instead.

 

[cappie88]

hope to see FF XV pro version

 

[Brandson]

Sony must want UHD bluray to fail as a format. That's disappointing.

 

[Septic360]

Lmfao!!


WHAT ARE THE SPECS?!!

Seriously, its 2 months away and they don't even give us the specs?? Thats a fucking joke

 

[Maintenance]

They lost me the moment Cerny said about better framerates with PSVR. The one thing PSVR had to master was framerate, I don't care if it looks better, but now I don't believe that the PS4 OG will have decent framerate with VR. Inb4 snarky "it never had".

I have zero interest on buying a new 4K TV, that whole thing is useless to me.

 

[Shadow Broker]

I totally forgot this was on. I put it on now but what did I miss?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Anyone else saw FFXV there? Not in the main presentation but in the reel afterwards.

Yeah, there was the chocobo riding bit from one of the trailers.

 

[hemo memo]

I don't know. Even at 399$ it's hard sell just for performance difference. All this HDR talk is pointless if you don't don't have the right display.

 

[Elven_Star]

What kind of performance can we realistically expect with the same (albeit upclocked) CPU?

 

[Kibbles]

Wait, it really doesn't have a UHD Drive?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

At $399 they will be fine. They can let Scorpio come out for 12 months and then announce a PS5.

this thing doesn't have a 4k blu ray ??? YES OR NO because

LOL

 

[astroturfing]

all the games just looked like basic ps4 games at least to me..

i seriously hope Sony has a PS4 Pro 2.0 planned to go against the more premium Scorpio that we all know will be massively powerful even when compared to dedicated gaming PCs.

 

[PensivePen]

I wasn't expecting a whole lot. Whether or not I get this thing is pretty much entirely dependent on Bloodborne getting some kind of enhancement patch. I wasn't expecting them to give it an extended demo since it's an old game and though it sold well it's not a monster seller like Uncharted 4. But I was hoping it might appear in a sizzle reel for current PS4 games that would have enhancements.

I guess I'll keep holding my breath and hoping for word about it though, but I'm not expecting anything at this point.

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

Phil Spencer must be laughing his ass off right now.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Take it no new RDR was announced lol

 

[thetrin]

What the fuck is this shit? That was it?

you were expecting more??

 

[Nibel]

This was a very bad presentation for their supposed new flagship product; demos were lacking, too.

Weird, weird conference

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

Felt like I was being given a lecture.

 

[I-hate-u]

😂
TGS is where its at boys
😂

Only Bloodborne 2 and DMC5 can save us now.

 

[Alpende]

A console nobody asked for and nobody needs.

It was evident in the press conference how they were desperately trying to explain why this console
Is marginally better.

They were anticipating a problem that doesn't exist.

They should have just shown the slim and ride it out until 2018 and announce PS5

If MS is doing HDR/4K stuff, Sony has to do something as well. I'm not gonna get it, first have to get a 4K TV.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

New PS4 camera?

New Audio Headset and PS4 Camera?

 

[DjRalford]

I don't think i heard shit about 4K Bluray

This is all i was intrested in, having it built into my PS4 would have been a bonus as i have 4k netlix, youtube and prime built into my 4k TV

 

[Neonep]

Thoughts...
1. Conference was basura.
2. PS4 Pro is ugly
3. PS4 Pro seems unnecessary
4. #ColinWasRight

I'm not buying that shit. Hopefully TGS is a good rebound.

 

[SHarris78]

I don't have a 4K TV, but will be getting PSVR, so i'm gonna wait and see what improvements those games will have before deciding whether to buy.

 

[kamakazi5]

Oh my god is anyone watching the Giant Bomb stream. That was hilarious.

 

[Stiler]

This was a huge disappointment for me. I was hoping for a bigger step-up, something that'd make it worthwhile for current ps4 owners who don't have a 4k tv, but it seems like they are foucsing so much on 4k/hdr rather then giving enough power to allow for the games and non-4k users to actually want it.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

People hype themselves up, then come in to conference threads and blame the conference.

like clockwork. "No Red Dead 3, Bloodborne 2 or Crash 4? 3/10"

 

[Zombie James]

Did they ever mentioned better frame rate at some point?

Up to developers how they want to use the extra resources.

 

[DeathSparks]

Decided to check Sony's stock price and LOL

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Why did we need a conference for that? It feels like the TV division went to Papa Sony and asked them to make the PlayStation division do this. There was zero enthusiasm in that room.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

I need to see the specs comparison before making any decisions. Atm, underwhelmed.

 

[Raist]

You guys will never learn, will you?

 

[Gurish]

Sounds like an excellent life. Im jealous.

Gaf with the usual hyperbole, you must live in paradise, like you are probably Dan Bilzerian if those were the worst 45 min of your life...

And no the conf wasn't good but why do people always have to be so damn dramatic?

 

[Namikaze]

Definitely looks like a new wireless headset is coming. Might actually be interested depending on the durability...

Also, I wonder if that new PS camera is the one that comes with all PSVR preorders. Might sell off my old one if I decide to keep my preorder.

 

[SuperSah]

Will keep my current PS4.

 

[Raiden1018]

WOW at all those R* announcements.

You guys were all right and I was wrong.

Wait...

Bravo! Want a cookie?

 

[Yawnny]

So I'm at work and can't watch the stream.. did they announce PS4 Slim, and how much CAD?

Thanks,

 

[Platinum Mad]

No mentions of specs.
Nothing on higher framerate.
Nothing on Bloodborne.
Boo.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

QFT

MS is in the drivers seat right now when it comes to the new powerful consoles.

lol @ thinking that Microsoft is suddenly going to slay the competition because they'll have the strongest console on the market 7 months from now, because as we all know power is tied to undiminishing success.

Microsoft will continue being Microsoft and I don't see that changing one bit. Perhaps they'll do better in North America, but when its competitor, that which is Sony, will have had its stronger PS4 out for almost seven months, an ample amount of time to permeate the market and mindshare of consumers, then they should be the ones to worry.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

That was lame as fuck. Day One though.

 

[Madchad]

Whelp unless my Day 1 Glossy PS4 dies i wont be getting a PS4 Pro no reason to.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

I don't know what everyone was expecting - this is what the console has rumoured to be for ages?

For the price I think it's a good buy but for someone with a 1080p set and a PS4, it didn't convince me to upgrade.

Mainly because I'm a PC gamer so I realise the hardware in it won't be providing a great 4K experience yet. It's not even as powerful as my PC and I haven't moved to 4K on that yet...

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

That was a surprisingly boring and uninformative conference.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Well, that was a waste of everyone's time...
At least the price of the Pro is decent but I'll stick with my old model.
I'm sure the first party studios will take advantage of the upgrade but nobody else will past the launch and I don't really care anyway.

Mario wins the day once again.

 

[blackdevil]

...what the fuck was this? They booked an entire fucking theater and couldn't reveal a single game that wasn't at E3?

looked like an office room with an audience full of "bloggers" to entitled to show any reaction typing on their tablets.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

They made it look almost the same?

One is Beyonce.

The other is Beyonce with it's weight doubled.

Is the same, but not really the same.

 

[DangerMouse]

Did I miss something or does PS4 Pro not have an UHD Blu-ray player? They only announced 4k streaming. That would suck!

They didn't say, it would be weird if it doesn't though, so I still think it will.

 

[geordiemp]

No passion. No excitement. No surprises.

What just happened?

If 30 % of OG Ps4 owners (extrapolating GAF) trade up to Ps4 pro, Sony just sold potentially 10 million pro consoles for Xmas if they can keep up with supply.

Thats a mega hit

 

[Chris_Rivera]

This presentation sucked. It felt that Sony was only talking to the people who love to blow a ton of money because that's what this is about (4KTV + Pro = $$$).

My regular PS4 does the job. I'll wait for a Final Fantasy VII Remake bundle.

Well yeah, that was pretty much the entire point. It was for the Neo, we knew this, if you don't want one the conference was not for you. I'm still confused by what it offers HDTV owners though.
