Support NeoGAF

I've said it in another thread, but I bet everything we've seen of Uncharted 4 so far has been running on a PS4K.

I think the new Xbox as a Windows platform will lead to far more bull shots then anything Sony can offer.

Microsoft will be able to show footage running on a computer easily worth 10 thousand dollars, and Truthfully say that the game will be able to run like that. however clearly that experience will be beyond the average user for a very long time.

 

[viHuGi]

They will show the best version of course it will be Ps4K.

Don't expect anything else.

 

[orioto]

Of course, but the bullshots are not the real problems i think.

The real problem is when you won't know how bad the vanilla version is till you buy it, cause the press won't ever have it. I can feel that.

It might've been true if U4 would release after or with PS4K, no way they would dare to do it in this case.

I can see why you would say that, but I think there's a big difference between the hundreds of SKU's you could get for PC and Playstation which has two options.

Honestly it would make more sense for journalist to ignore the Neo version or add that as an aside later, than it would in the opposite scenario.

 

[RipperGrim]

I expect all marketing for games now to be used with the ps4k, and as an excuse for shitty performance on the ps4.

"we weren't lying, we were just showing the ps4k version!".

It just means we can't take footage at reveals seriously anymore.

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

Nice!
I would argue the opposite. Devs will focus on the model with 30 million units in the wild and the improvements to the model with a couple million will be marginal.

Early adaptors who upgrade to PS4k are the ones who spend much money on games. These are the ones most publishers/developers target. The rest who plays CoD/Madden/FIFA and barely buys other games or the ones who can not afford PS4k or many games are only an afterthought.

If the ps4k was already out then absolutely.

But the game is comming months before the console.

It would give them a lot of bad press if the game releases with a considerable graphical downgrade and they go like "You can still get the version we advertised....in a few months on the ps4k"

Lol, I can't believe that, even if for a brief moment in time, I believed that maybe a ps4 could run this.

I remember cross games or multi games where we didn't really see the weakest link till it's released. Some early xbo ports where they didn't want journalists to talk about the rez for example.

Devs WILL try to hide the embarrassing facts. Only if the vanilla versions are bad of course.

 

[KORNdoggy]

As someone who refuses to upgrade to a PS4K.... I hate to hear that but you're totally right. I don't feel like a second class citizen though.... but if finding original PS4 footage of games becomes a rarity.....

it's only natural tbh. it's not like many devs where eager to demo xbox one footage of multiplatform console games. they always opted for PS4. showing off the best version of your game is hardly new.

The hyperbole never ceases to amaze and amuse me. It would be absurd to show the PS4K version, when the game is out in 20 days, and the system doesn't even have a launch date yet.

The E3 2014 trailer definitely was.

No publishers target the largest possible audience.

Oh wait, your Fifa/Cod/Madden comment shows how little thought you have put into this. It seems like there are a lot of GAFers who won't be buying NEO do they only play Madden or are they broke? Which one is it?

 

[JRW]

Yea I'm not to sure about this idea either but kind of glad we're not stuck with the same hardware for 7+ years like with 360 / PS3.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Sony shouldnt show PSPoor footage alongside PS4K/Neo footage, thats just going to tell people how much better the NEO is compared to the piece of shit you have connected to your TV and Im not sure Sony wants to do that.

 

[Risk Breaker]

So nothing different from what we're used to. Everything is bullshots and downgrades.

Ding ding ding.

This is good. I'm using this from now on.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

PS+ will finally get retail games but only for PS4K.

 

[VincentMatts]

After October, every developer HAS release a patch that support Neo Mode and by November games need to have a Neo Mode incorporated with all shipped games.

This to me doesn't seem like a lot of time for basically what is another version of the game

 

[LiquidMetal14]

No. That will happen regardless.

 

[CyberPunked]

It's always PC, and always will be.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

When hasn't this been the case? Of course there will always be bullshots.

 

[SneakyStephan]

Why on earth would they ever show the ps4k version of multiplatform games over doing what they're doing right now: showing it running on a high end pc that is much more powerful , or even showing an offline in engine render (so many games do this).

Maybe for exclusives they'll now show the ps4k version in trailers, but for most games nothing will change and the ps4k version will not even be a factor in marketing

 

[mclem]

This, the only difference is that for PS4 exclusives they'll always show the PS4K versions for PR purposes.

It reminds me of these days:

...but with a screenshot on a cassette inlay being replaced with a bells-and-whistles massive trailer being played out on an E3 stage.

(Actually, I wonder if we'll see that footnote reappear on boxes?)

 

[hodgy100]

They aren't bullshots if they are running on actual hardware. We will just have to rely on news outlets to still use the base PS4. I assume reviews will cover both versions and digital foundary most certainly will cover them.

 

[Skux]

So nothing different from what we're used to. Everything is bullshots and downgrades.

Pretty much. I'm sticking to PC unless it's a console exclusive.

 

[Mokujin]

A lot of people will be fooled thinking what they see in adverts are Ps4 but they will be Ps4Neo, so yeah.
