2017 is 3 months away?
Why do you think titles must support NEO from October onwards?
It could just mean that they want to have a significant library of Neo-ready titles for when it launches in the winter or in 2017.
I do hope it's October though.
not because it's launching in october lmao

Yup, looks like it's the initial Giant Bomb leak.

Prototype systems at start of 2017. Read the document before you post about it.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
So Sony isn't forcing devs/publishers to patch old titles.
Where is everyone in the other thread who told me this wasn't the case and that we'd all get upgrades for 4K as "free patches?" As I said in the other thread: Don't be shocked at all to start seeing 4K remasters released. They'll work on the original PS4, but if you play them on PS4 Neo it will be in 4K.

Wonder how that October rule will affect something like Persona 5, where presumably all the enhancements already exist on the PS4 version.

Because they want to have a good collection of NEO games for launch to show off the system?

Real but possibly outdated. Can't wait for official announcement!

Sony have strongly suggested that they are following Apple's announcement and fast release strategy for Neo. It's certainly possible.

This is an info dump, not a class presentation, lol.
I must have missed that part. Wonder what the reason for the October date is if the system itself won't be launching until way later.
Andrew House even stated in a Japanese interview they're looking to launch it by Christmas.

I'd guess that the September Japanese release gets it around that.

Sony said they may release soon after announcement. It hasn't been announced.

So the NEO's not going to make it out by Final Fantasy XV, then?
I can safely buy an Original PS4 knowing it's the best choice I can make to play XV Day 1?

Heh the upgrade doesn't seem too substantial, like, a few bells and whistles for the graphics and slighlty improvements in res/fps.
Kinda expected a more meaty improvement.
To be honest, the 1st party games from last E3 (GOW, Horizon, Detroit) all looked so amazing on regular PS4s i don't feel so pushed to move to Neo.
But then maybe the ones that will be big improvements are 3rd parties....

So just like Scorpio it seems to be focussed on outputting 4K
That seems like such waste for that power. I doubt normal HD output will be much improved for most games

It doesn't even reach the rumored 4.2 TFlops.

If it's not launching in October I guess the rule is there to have a substantial amount of Neo content by launch.

Nothing here is new .
Same things that we know about \ or could put together over last few months.
It's impossible to say how a random PS4 game will play if you give it access to additional resources. Perhaps it will crash. Or play too fast. Or multiplayer will break. It's definitely wiser to require devs to patch support themselves.

Yeah that's definitly the materials on which GiantBomb based their story months ago. Some in fact nothing new is leaking here, and some things could have changed as some have pointed out.
This presentation isn't meant for consumers, it is an internal doc. Cerny isn't going to flip through this in front of the press.

- No hardware RAM size boost sounds sad
- Sony keeping 3 GiB to themselves on original PS4 doesn't sound well either (well, there was that "flexible memory" part, wasn't there...)
- If "checkerboard rendering" (I assume rendering only "odd" pixels and approximating "even" ones) is much of a thing then why isn't it already used
- What exactly is "background processing on GPU"
- Detection of 4K TV sounds like the most stupid thing ever, what if I have a 4K TV but want a better framerate
- There's something about "patch waivers", does that mean patches testing keeps costing money generally
That could also be it, yeah.
Interesting, that means there may be consumer units produced this year, although it's not clear that they would also be available to consumers at that point.
Compared to a generational upgrade, no, but it wasn't supposed to be one of those to begin with.
30% more CPU power and 230% more GPU power with more bandwidth will make more than a notable difference in games.
Well, the document says this:
So it sounds like late-September games will have patches for Neo support?

Nothing really new, come back to me when they leak the price point.
Yes. It's basically over before it even began etc...
