Support NeoGAF

[dakun]

Boooooooo

No mention of increased FPS (except for VR)

since it's completely up to the devs what they use the additional power for there should be no problem for devs to use it for higher FPS.

 

[Hey Im Patrick]

I don't like how it looks but I hope it performs nice.

 

[The Argus]

Ugh how come none of the stores have pre-orders online yet? Come on Amazon!

 

[DrFunk]

whew that thing is ooogly

 

[Elitist1945]

Does it support UHD bluray playback!? Why wouldn't they mention this?

Yeah if the $300 XB1 can and a $400 PS4 Pro can't, thats the dumbest thing I'll ever witness.

 

[bidguy]

so much for 5.5tf + zen lite haha

 

[Ethelwulf]

Great price! Horrible design.

 

[gofreak]

Price easily seals the deal.

When they announced $299 for Slim I was SURE we were in for a $499 boom drop.

The variability of the improvements per game make it hard to get a full picture on all the benefits you're getting, but it's the guaranteed best PS4 experience, bigger HDD, $50 more than the previous price and same price as previous 1TB bundles... I'm quite surprised it's not a bigger gap.

 

[sixteen-bit]

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

I'm thinking of a worse case scenario where the add in the PC motion blur but leave the PS4 dithered shadows

 

[Duxxy3]

I was hoping for a new controller. Didn't get that. I'll stick to my regular old PS4, XB1, and hold out for scorpio.

It is a good price though.

 

[Chris Metal]

triple stack was real.

 

[The Emperor]

So how many teraflops? lol

 

[guek]

Pass for me, I don't have a the right TV to make it worth the upgrade.

 

[Maxinas]

Ehhh..not that exciting tbh, maybe after a price drop 2-3 years from now i'll consider it.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

The most expensive sandwich I'll ever buy.

 

[Arex]

when it was unveiled I got the ps2 vibe from the look, so pretty good imo, it has that light strip too!, so might just get this one instead of the slim

 

[NullPointer]

Boooooooo

No mention of increased FPS (except for VR)

So is it not a requirement for Pro patches to increase game framerates?

 

[Swarna]

30 FPS games aren't generally 30 FPS because of the GPU, but rather the CPU. In these cases the pro specs can't just double FPS. There will be exceptions, but expect higher quality assets and effects at generally the same (or more stable) FPS for games that receive updates for the pro model.

The slim could've been made to at least upscale + output content at 4k. I feel like the exclusion of this feature was to make the pro more attractive. The pro isn't looking very useful for regular 1080p displays.

 

[Beck]

Good price at $399 (probably $499 CAD), but I didn't really think they gave me a good reason to upgrade, especially considering I don't have a 4K TV and probably won't have one anytime soon. I might just upgrade my computer over this.

 

[GravityMan]

Overall, the reveal was underwhelming. However, that $399 price is quite interesting.

 

[ViciousDS]

refreshing like 5 sites for pre-orders to pop lol

 

[RoKKeR]

To steal Colin Moriarty's take on all of this: "Unforced error."

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

 

[The Lamonster]

Is the Pro going to be more powerful than my i7 6700k/980 Ti PC?

 

[Trago]

That THREE seconds of FFXV Pro mode tho.

Definitely day one.

 

[Theorry]

No mention of any games getting a fps bump at all. Really hope not all devs go for that res bump only..

 

[mentallyinept]

Really good price. Right on time for the holidays.

I look forward to the trade in programs at Gamestop to pick this up at a discount.

 

[angelic]

 

[Aceofspades]

That PRICE!

 

[thenexus6]

Huh, so the PS4 Pro is pretty much between what the Xbox One S is and what we expected the Neo to be.

Seems like a really weird stop gap.. I'm sticking with my vanilla PS4.

 

[Zabka]

If it plays 4k Blu-rays I'm in. Hopefully someone gets concrete info on it.

 

[psynergylover]

as a person with a 1080p tv, is their any benefie for me getting a PS4 Pro?

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Mario on the iPhone was more exciting than this.

 

[Harmen]

Initially I was dissapointed, but the way they presented it made it clear the regular PS4 is here to stay. Furthermore, there will be a 1080p option (does this mean games like Battlefield will be 1080p instead of 900p? surely?) and that the pricepoint is in line with the PS4.

 

[Femto.]

4.2TF confirmed?

 

[Ferr986]

You'll get much better looking/performing games in 1080p with this.

This is not what they did shown. Games were still 30 fps.

 

[recklesscognition]

That was brutal. At least the OG is getting HDR. And shout out to FoxConn guy for totally being 100% on the money.

 

[Tony Iron Man Stark]

How much stronger is Pro compared to PS4?

 

[Havel]

So how many teraflops? lol

I guess the original 4.2tf figure.

 

[n0razi]

I want the Pro internals minus the Blu-Ray drive in the Slim chassis... 1tb or 2tb digital only options.

 

[twobear]

so it's...4Kinda

 

[Theorry]

Huh, so the PS4 Pro is pretty much between what the Xbox One S is and what we expected the Neo to be.

Seems like a really weird stop gap.. I'm sticking with my vanilla PS4.

Pro is the Neo.

 

[monreader]

Part way through, I was like nope, not getting one as I thought you would have no benefit without a 4k tv. Now I am glad that it will have advantages on both a 1080p and 4k tv. Count me in day one for that price.

 

[Myspcr_Shadow]

I mean you can look at this as ps4 staying the same price but getting better specs..but damn this is underwhelming. I hope developers opt for 60fps updates

 

[aygomyownroad]

Feels of PS2, I'm liking the design, but despite being £350, I'm not upgrading anytime soon, waiting for Scorpio.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I already wanted it for improved VR, but everything else plus the price makes it a no brainer.

 

[Cheat Code]

What a piece of shit.

 

[Spirited]

Also it's not true 4k so don't go thinking you'll get true 4k gaming for $400 on your newly bought 4k tv.

 

[Venuspower]

Day one for me.
399€ is a really good price.

 

[Curufinwe]

So is it not a requirement for Pro patches to increase game framerates?

The leaked slide Pro games couldn't run at lower framerates.
