Support NeoGAF

Uprendering to parity

 

[StereoVsn]

So same CPU with boosted clock? To be expected I guess but that's why we are not seeing 60fps boost I guess.

 

[Durante]

No numbers means the leaks are probably spot on.

 

[dreamcast210]

Just saw that not all previous PS4 games will be forward compatible. They have to be patched in. I think that's a mistake.

 

[krang]

PS4K was the perfect name. Pro is awful.

PS4K was a convenient name, but was a marketing disaster waiting to happen.

 

[Poster#1]

Ps4k is a much better name :/

 

[Aaronrules380]

Willing to bet most games will only add 4k options or mayber the HDR options, and won't change at all at 1080p on the pro, even though we know a few will (Probably mostly Sony games and the really big AAA games that Sony pays off a bit)

Which means I have zero interest in the pro

 

[Captain Zyrain]

I liked PS4K personally but Pro is fine.

Cerney though.. that voice.. something disconcerting about it. TOO calm. TOO collected.

 

[Raven77]

Have they not shown a single game running on it 30 minutes in? What about a release date (might be too early in the conf. for that).

I can't watch the stream or anything, at work.

 

[ODDI]

I liked Neo a lot better .

Hey I like the name Nintendo NX but hey it's temp names

Speaking of Neo is Project Trinity still a thing?

 

[O.v.e.rlord]

I'm hype!

 

[Jombie]

So, what's the rationale for this to "compliment" or sit beside your existing, outdated PS4?

 

[Aaronrules380]

They just confined graphical boosts for 1080p games.

Looks like games will have a "pro" setting.

They confirmed that it can be done, and will in some cases. I still doubt most developers will do more than the bare minimum, which is likely just HDR and 4k support

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Doesn't seem like a worthwhile upgrade to me. Hopefully the jump to Scorpio will be bigger, otherwise these mid gen upgrades are not a trend I want to see stick around.

 

[Astral Dog]

Just saw that not all previous PS4 games will be forward compatible. They have to be patched in. I think that's a mistake.

i dont see how they could do it without bothering and pestering developers who already released and marketed their games, would be a waste of time for all titles to be converted.

 

[shandy706]

Should have been PS4K

Oh well

 

[Liquid-San]

I'd really like to see the console....

 

[Averon]

I guess the reason there was no leaks beyond what we got earlier this year is because there was nothing TO leak.

 

[Neoxon]

Hopefully Street Fighter V, Overwatch, & Boodborne all get PS4 Pro upgrades.

 

[rokkerkory]

Waiting for the $500 price now

 

[Salsa]

wow that name is awful

like maybe im playing too much Rocket League but Pro is like a crap rank

 

[Darryl M R]

When is the release and what price?!

 

[SoundPulse]

Even the logo looks like something Apple would do.
I prefer Neo, but Pro's okay I guess.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Did they just come up with the name recently? Nobody can get it right.

 

[Lumination]

- Boosting the clock rate to achieve better frame rates

- Boosting the clock rate

- clock rate

 

[ethomaz]

The best experience for PSVR

 

[GHG]

The name is terrible. Uninspired.

 

[FZZ]

Need design

Cmon sony

 

[I am Error]

As someone who doesn't own a 4k-TV: I'm not convinced.

 

[Omega Kirby]

PS4 pro just reminds me of Go pro

 

[Veelk]

So does anyone know if it will improve the framerate of existing games?

 

[Pinko Marx]

So, what's the rationale for this to "compliment" or sit beside your existing, outdated PS4?

It's a replacement or an upgrade, not a compliment. Ideally you would have one or the other and not both.

 

[cheezcake]

wow that name is awful

like maybe im playing too much Rocket League but Pro is like a crap rank

PS4 Grandmaster not the catchiest name for marketing

 

[Tillbo]

Just seems a big ask to release PlayStation VR and PlayStation Pro so close together. Surely it would have better to stagger the releases?

 

[ALLseeingEYE]

Something about this conference just feels kind of weak and unexciting, almost like they don't actually expect anyone to be excited.

I just hope this thing releases this Christmas, and releases for $400 US, then it will be worth the weak hardware jump. Either way, it will be nice to have PS games in higher detail. I also love how developers have the ability to give 1080p games higher detail, that is an awesome idea.

 

[Will the Thrill]

So ok, are there three modes of render? Standard Ps4, 4k, and 1080p+ enhancements? Or Just two with higher res stuff just downsampling

 

[moltonasty]

THAT NAME, WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME

Spoiler

the name is corny

 

[SGRU]

Cerney though.. that voice.. something disconcerting about it. TOO calm. TOO collected.

Yeah. They are like not excited at all.

 

[BobbyColtrane]

When????

 

[LordOfChaos]

Good name choice imo, I thought that's what they should name it for a while. 4K would be silly to make the name if it's not expected to hit native most of the time. Pro differentiates it as a more powerful PS4 nicely.

 

[Adam_Roman]

I was expecting PS4+. PS4 Pro's alright. It's way better than PS4K.

 

[Dead]

Witcher 3 Pro patch when

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

That's a pretty cringe worthy name. Neo worked a lot better.

 

[vpance]

Given the specs, now to hope for $399.

 

[devildog820]

Cerny was the church lady.

Spoiler

Brilliant guy though

 

[dreamcast210]

i dont see how they could do it without bothering and pestering developers who already released and marketed their games, would be a waste of time for all titles to be converted.

I'm doing a comparison to what Microsoft claims they are doing with Scorpio, which is supposedly all Xbox games will run on it. I don't understand why Sony would be shutting out certain games from running on the newer platform. Unless I'm misunderstanding what they mean.

 

[dancrane212]

PS4k was a perfect name.

 

[Figboy79]

I think the name is fine. PS4K isn't distinct enough. PS4 Neo isn't distinct enough. PS4 Pro is straight to the point. It doesn't muddy the waters when a consumer walks into the store and sees a box that says "PS4," and a box that says, "PS4 Pro." You obviously know there's a difference between the two, and then it's up to the consumer to inquire further.

 

[Majine]

They were never gonna call it PS4K, its benefits apply to more than just 4K and you don't want to give people the idea that 4K is required.

 

[rokkerkory]

PS4 Slim should really be called PS4 Amateur
