Support NeoGAF

[RiotPelaaja]

Does Pro have USB ports in the back, I really hope so.

 

[gofreak]

That´s most likely.

Maybe, but let's wait for the press releases. They scarcely gave hard figures in the original PS4 announcement press conference either - the spec sheet only came after in PR.

 

[boredandlazy]

Well, without UHD blu-ray support in Neo I'm not going to bother upgrading my TV, plus I'm going to stop buying UHD discs. Absolute waste of time. You're fucking drunk Sony.

Does this even matter? Who buys physical movies in 2016? I don't know a single person who does

Pro-tip: How to make RedRedSuit want to buy it:

1. Pick a very good-looking 30fps game (e.g., Uncharted 4).
2. Show it running at 60fps and otherwise unchanged on PS4 Pro.

Anything else... any talk of 4K... etc... pointless for me.

I'm honestly shocked that Uncharted wasn't shown at 60fps, I really thought that was going to be their big "And look at the older titles!" thing.

It's more insulting considering that the games aren't even going to be native 4K. Temporal 4K is still great and not as much as a performance hog, but already people don't understand the difference, even here in GAF.

 

[DieH@rd]

400€ price is a great one, especially with 1TB HDD.

This is a no brainer price for those who want a better gameplay/visual experience.

 

[labx]

I just bought a FULL HD TV. Will I benefit with the Pro, or just keep playing in my ps4?

EDIT: or I have to buy a HDR TV / 4K TV?

 

[gamechanger87]

so was it playing those 4k games natively or was it upscaling them?

Upscale

Hahaha, get fucked sony.

 

[DragoonKain]

Sorry I just can't get over how ugly that model is. They basically just stacked on a layer from the slim. It's incredibly lazy. This whole this reeks.

[Raiden1018]

lol
Sony just shit the bed

 

[hydrophilic attack]

At $399 and a year's head start, it's going to do very well against Scorpio. And (outside Japan) NX is pretty much dead even before it's been officially unveiled. Not that that should be any surprise to anyone.

Missed opportunity to have the Slim at $299. At $249 they would have completely cornered the low-end market. Seems like they are pretty much send it out to die, taking launch PS4s with it.

 

[zero86r]

Well I went into this with no expectations, I'm gonna need to see this on a 4k tv to be convinced. Not a fan of the Pro name, looks a bit weird but who cares.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Does this even matter? Who buys physical movies in 2016? I don't know a single person who does

Lol really

 

[Chû Totoro]

What?!? this tweet is real ! omg Sony what have you done !

Seriously I don't know what they were thinking not making PS4 Pro (even the name is... well) UHD Blu-Ray compatible. I want to see the notes of the discussions when they decided this. Sure it's a typo.

Really it seems to me the most obvious thing to do when making a console that renders games in 4K with HDR and everything... People will NEED 4K/HDR TVs to have the best experience with their PS4 Pro !!!

Crazy Kaz

this doesn't even make sense... it's Sony's tech... and a bullet point that Microsoft has with the One S... it should have been an automatic throw in... even if physical titles are a dying format.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

That can't be right. No UHD blu drive in your premium 4ktv owner targeted console?

 

[Colonel Nasty]

No UHD would be insane. Netflix looks good but the Blu Rays have been were I see my tv shine. Fucking insane if it's not in.

 

[Will the Thrill]

Yes, basically, but in what way will vary from game to game.

Some games will just downsample a higher res buffer for you - so a cleaner image.

Some games will add extra effects, better textures, or whatever, at 1080p and/or at the higher resolution for 4K.

Hmm, tbh I think I'd rather just have the better everything else at 1080p than 4k at like standard ps4 settings.

This is absolutely insane...i still can't believe it

EDIT: especially since soon...every xbox one on the market will support it

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Does this even matter? Who buys physical movies in 2016? I don't know a single person who does

Yes. Many people do. That is why the market for 4K Blu Rays continues to grow.

 

[Curufinwe]

So basically everybody was right to think a stop gap console was unnecessary when the new of the Neo first leaked.

Unnecessary for who?

Sony are going to make more money by having a slim PS4 at $299 and a more powerful PS4 at $399.

 

[Tagyhag]

Oh, well Sony saved us then.

Thank you Sony!

 

[LifEndz]

So no specs huh? I don't particularly care but I find it strange. Also does this have optical? (Something else I don't care about)

They showed the box this time but no specs. Sony gonna Sony.

 

[Original Man]

People buy game systems for media features? Where they do that at?

 

[Hoo-doo]

I get that it's a silly omission, but damn, how many people even care about the 4KBD feature? Physical media isn't what it used to be.

I think this thing hits a perfect pricepoint for what it is, an upgraded PS4.

 

[pixelation]

So Bend dude on stream said that 1080p on PS4 Pro looks amazing... i'll get the PS4 Pro and just keep my 1080p display then!!!

Early-adopter types who have ridiculously nice new TVs and might spring for dumb console semi-upgrades, for one.

Wow. Big fail.

 

[Raiden1018]

Nice.

Greatest games? what do they mean by that? They have no exclusives nad 3rd parties run better on PS4.

And HDR is available for all PS4s for free

 

[vpance]

Didn't that guy get permanently banned from GAF for posting fake info?

Self advertising I think. Anyways, he had solid info this time.

 

[blankempathy]

Does this even matter? Who buys physical movies in 2016? I don't know a single person who does

Arent UHD movies a lot bigger in size? I'm guessing people with internet caps or slow internet speed would rather have a physical player.

I don't know a single person who doesn't.

Wow. Please tell me people won't defense force this decision?

Crazy, and opens the door to more Xbox One S sales for sure.

 

[Rotch Crot]

Did they mention if the games are native 4k? Surely they're not, my gpu cost almost double a ps4 pro and can hardly do it.

Agreed.

 

[BONKERS]

Maybe if all PS4 games thus far suffered from unstable framerates...

This.

PS4Pro is going to be much better for 1080p TVs. That is if they don't somehow manage to fuck that up and still have poor performance at 1080p

 

[barneystuta83]

Nice.

 

[Xion86]

Lol how many 4K Blu-Ray's are you all planning on buying? Come on.

 

[Sanpei]

Not surprising, tbh. Personally I'd prefer to stream 4k content and have the price at £349 than have the drive make the console cost x amount extra.

To be honest I thing this gen is the last with a media drive. Everything will be download next gen.

Ok this guy can stream 4K content, so no need for 4K BD support...

 

[Visualante2]

This conference ended 20 minutes ago and there are still no high quality photos or comparisons available.

 

[The_Lump]

You mean lower resolution doesn't just randomly crop massive parts of an image?

>.<

Yes, Apple certainly did invent adding "Pro" to a product name do denote increased power.

Who said they did? But as the biggest consumer electronics company in the world that regularly use that suffix, I think they got mindshare on it. Misstep by Sony imo; it just immediately makes you think Apple.

Second misstep is no 4k BD support. I mean what the fudge are they doing?

 

[rdytoroll]

This thing is such a misstep. Not even a UHD player? Lmao, what a fail

 

[Robot Pants]

This. I was ready to sell the PS4 just for the 4k Bluray player.

Yup. Me too. Tons of people were. HOW DUMB ARE THEY?!
They honestly just sold me an Xbox S.

Of course, if this is all true. I'd think they would have mentioned it if it was included

 

[Pathfinder]

double post, plz ignore.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

I really couldn't listen to the stream did they reveal specs?

 

[Calm Mind]

That was the most monotonous thing I have ever experienced.

 

[AstroLad]

Arent UHD movies a lot bigger in size? I'm guessing people with internet caps or slow internet speed would rather have a physical player.

Also beyond quality (which is better on disc) there are tons of 4k movies on disc not available on streaming services.
