Support NeoGAF

[Obscuritas]

I knew that E3 would have been too soon for its announcement.

 

[Bsigg12]

Meh. I won't be forking out for a fucking 4K television for this thing. Guess I'll stick with my rusty old PS4 for the forseeable.

Games will benefit more than just 4K resolution upscaling from the Neo.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Good you can not release Neo and VR in the same time frame as they take sales away from each other.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Just as I expected... We won't see or hear anything specific about Scorpio, either.

 

[blastprocessor]

Gotta clock dem chips to 6tflops.

 

[The God]

 

[KinofChaos]

FFS. They might just postpone the entire E3 to 2017 at this point.

Well, upside is that we are getting a PS4K

Why? Games don't matter now?

 

[Styles]

More time for games(and VR stuff) at their PC, I guess!

 

[Corpsepyre]

What does his have to do with God of War?

I mentioned GoW4 because it was rumoured that it would be one of the launch titles for the new console, alongside Deep Down. So, I thought that, if they're not showing Neo, they might wait on GoW4 too.

 

[Camwi]

Yep, who cares about games when you can talk about consoles.

Oh shush. New consoles = talking about more games that theoretically are taking advantage of the new hardware.

 

[yurinka]

Makes sense.

If they require the games released in Autumn and later to support Neo mode, I assume Neo will be released in Autumn.

Right now they should create hype for PSVR and a lot of PS4 games they have to show. PS4 Neo announcement in E3 would distract people and would affect normal PS4 sales until Autumn.

So it's better to announce PS4 Neo at TGS/PGW/GC.

 

[Starfield]

Xbox won or something
But in all seriousness that sucks

 

[amdb00mer]

Naw but i did recently take it apart and cleaned it

added new thermal paste

Seems to be working really well so far

I've been thinking of doing that. It's a day 1 PS4 and i'm sure it's due for some maintenace. I always worry about it since Infamous Second Son. That game would make the fan on my PS4 speed up and sound like a jet engine. No other game has really done that yet, but I heard Uncharted 4 is very taxing on the 1st gen models.

 

[GHG]

Now let's see if Microsoft unveil Scorpio.

I feel a game of cat and mouse coming on.

 

[Ricker]

Time for Microsoft to pull a fast one on Sony,like Sony did with that price thing a few years back...announce to new 4K ready X1 at the conference at a slightly higher price and shit...do it.

Now let's see if Microsoft unveil Scorpio.

I feel a game of cat and mouse coming on.

yup lol...

 

[Kenzodielocke]

"Consumers with 4K tv's"

Yeah ok...Like that thing will do 4K.

It'll upscale and 4K blurays dude.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

I think it's safe to assume that MS won't be showing the better hardware neither then, if they even had it in their plans to begin with.

 

[HStallion]

I'm thinking Sony doesn't want to kill the PS4 sales later this year during the holidays. Maybe announce the Neo at Gamescom or even later at this years PSX which has so far been in December. I don't think they want people hearing about a newer better system and waiting to purchase that into the next year. Of course what do I know but seems mostly logical, don't want to shoot yourself in the foot by announcing the next best thing too early, especially when they can still sell a lot more of their current product.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Not at e3?!

Nooooooooo

 

[Asd202]

Not at E3, wuuut

Scorpio also shouldn't be at E3 unless MS wants to kill Xbone right now.

 

[Audioboxer]

Cancel E3.

Hype train derailed.

Knack 2 is what you'll get and that's it.

 

[Impeccable]

VR focus confirmed then!

That would help me get to bed early on the day.

 

[WraithWalker1893]

Doesn't suprise me in the slightest. Knew it. There's no rush to get it.

 

[Jonnax]

Maybe Sony got shook after hearing about Microsoft's console?
10TF console incoming? 😅😅

 

[DrROBschiz]

Highly recommended

My PS4 is VERY quiet now

It was probably a combination of "reseating" the APU on the heatsink and higher quality thermal paste

Also having all the dust build up cleared helps

Now my Jet engine just purrs

 

[Syntsui]

Is there even a 4K TV that doesn't have atrocious delay?

 

[Hasney]

Good you can not release Neo and VR in the same time frame as they take sales away from each other.

Eh, I'd love Neo to launch alongside the VR headset I'm getting and I think it still will. That extra power will be a boon to VR games.

 

[sense]

So who's going to rush out to buy a PS4 now. Dumb move Sony.

Although this does align with a rumor I (thought I) saw around a reveal at TGS

The majority wouldn't care until something can be seen and compared with. Right now only the hardcore gamer crowd will care and they already have seen the rumors and know it is coming. This is just to avoid repeated questions at e3 about its existence and also make a big deal about it close to release

 

[prwxv3]

Scorpio also shouldn't be at E3 unless MS wants to kill Xbone right now.

The numbers they have been getting recently have not been that good. I can't imagine the numbers if they officially announce Scorpio.

 

[Yonafunu]

As expected. The only way they'd have it at E3 is if it'd come this year. And it's not. They're not going to have PSVR and a new, more expensive PS4 release at the same time.

 

[Dahaka]

naturally they'll be looking into enhancing the NEO

 

[Cynn]

Delayed to match the Scorpios specs confirmed.

Spoiler

/s

You might be right.

 

[OléGunner]

Hopefully it launches in 2017.

Pretty tough sell for Neo and PSVR in one year to most consumers.
Good luck to Sony's marketing dept with this thing too.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

You might be right.

Haha no

 

[Get_craycray]

"Consumers with 4K tv's"

Yeah ok...Like that thing will do 4K.

Yeah ok... because you know more things about this than him.

 

[Boogdud]

Translation: We aren't going to announce the Neo because we'd like to sell a few PS4s before we have Neos for the market.

 

[Asd202]

Announced at Paris Games Week in late October at $399, releases in November. Bookmark this post

Spoiler

 

[Daft Punk]

how many years left in PS4's cycle you think? its incredibly naive to believe this isn't part of an effort to establish a new norm of hardware updates every 2-2.5 years.

*rolls eyes*

 

[Tregard]

So they now have the burden of officially stating there's a higher spec PS4 coming, with none of the advantages of showing it off with the titles on show at E3? Seems a bit backwards to me.

Hope and pray Microsoft show off Scorpio anyway, they'll have the advantage of being the only hardware at E3.

 

[Skux]

This is going to kill the hype. No point getting excited for all these games when we still have to wait on the new system to play them on.

 

[wapplew]

Translation: We aren't going to announce the Neo because we'd like to sell a few PS4s before we have Neos for the market.

But why confirm its existent thou.

 

[pottuvoi]

"Consumers with 4K tv's"

Yeah ok...Like that thing will do 4K.

If it can output 4k signal, it can do 4k.

 

[Skinpop]

i hope they shut it down.

 

[Dragokiller]

Well, I guess they don't want it to impact PSVR sales. The Neo was pretty much going to prevent me from buying the VR. I wasn't going to get both this year, and if it had to be one it'd have been the Neo.

Yup pretty much same here.

 

[Spring Drive]

Everybody stop buying PS4s

 

[Elios83]

It was obvious they wouldn't announce it at E3 if it's months away from release, they're not dumb.
Just like Microsoft won't announce a more powerful console scheduled to be released in 2017 if they want to sell people the Slim this year.

But it's nice they're confirming a dual model strategy.
I thought they would replace the current PS4 entirely at some point with the Neo.
This also raises the chances of a normal slimlined PS4.
I guess they'll make an announcement in September, normal PS4 will be price cutted to 299$ and Neo will be introduced at 399$.

 

[bidguy]

stung by scorpio

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Scorpio also shouldn't be at E3 unless MS wants to kill Xbone right now.

The hardware stuff will probably be a Xbox Slim. I see no reason for MS to go ahead and announce the Scorpio there. I do wonder what is going to happen now, when is Sony unveiling it and will it come out this year or sometime next year?

 

[Audioboxer]

That unless they change their minds and rumours are false is set for fall 2017... That's an even more suicidal move than Sony NOT announcing Neo yet.

MS would be best to hope this news is true and keep Scorpio under wraps for longer.

 

[odhiex]

I was expecting this (not at e3), my hope are still the same $399 + bump the specs and release it in Q1 next year. or they could still release it by the end of this year, although I think that would be a bit rushed.
