This is interesting. Sony has managed to create something that is the antithesis of console gaming
It's even better than that, really. It has all of the cost of the PC ecosystem, without any of the benefits(besides performance). At least with a desktop/laptop, you can somewhat justify purchasing something nice because of the fact it has so many applications outside of gaming. This doesn't really apply to consoles. Also, with a PC, you're able to upgrade parts, without having to spend on everything all at once.
They don't even have a trade-in system planned, amazing. With phones, you can subsidize the cost significantly, not so much with this(so far).
The fact they plan on screwing over millions of people who recently bought a PS4 for the holidays will not go down well.
I predict it selling well initially, but a lot of people will be pissed. You'll have many, many moving to PC. They'll see the cost of VR and Sony planning to upgrade every 3 years and ask themselves why not just build a computer?

Japan is not going to give a fuck about PS4K. They're barely starting to buy PS4 and now you tell them to switch? Yeah.
Your old card still works, and , provided you got a good one, will last you for years surprassing consoles.

You mean the XBox One which is also heavily rumored to be undergoing this very same style of hardware refreshed? That one?

Speaking realistically this should enable some really good looking VR games in a console sized package. For those of interested in gaming VR, this is a good thing. Less motion sickness. Better looking games. Hopefully, a revised move controller to do less laggy tracking.

God damn it, no. I'm ok with the idea of stronger versions of existing consoles in theory, but if there's going to be a bunch of games that are designed specifically with PS4K in mind that end up being gutted on OG PS4 that's gonna be a problem. Hyrule Warriors Legends-performance on the OG 3DS is a good example of this when gone wrong.
Again, what would be the point of people buying a more powerful system if games don't look and/or perform better? I get why a lot of people are upset but this angle I don't understand. It would make zero sense that a PS4 game ran or looked exactly the same as a PS4K game.

Well 2x the GPU power and they can for sure get to that original render quality if they are sticking to 1080p.
Holy shit things are getting exciting again like they were during the PS4 announcement days.

Are you comprehending what you're reading? PS4 games will still look and play the same, why would they get worse? Think, man!
This officially makes PS4 the worst console i've ever purchased, holy shit, the 400 euro Bloodborne box with some (hopefully not too gimped) downports of PS4.5 to hang on.
It also side-kills PSVR if the release dates are close enough: amazing job Sony, as if PC gaming wasn't on the rise enough.

Being Bish approved isn't a guarantee.
So you are ok for PC to have upgrade part every single month. But not ok for console to have upgrade model for every half gen (3 years) ?
True but on the other side.
If they don´t do it why should anyone buy the PS4K ?
=> It´s just crap no matter how you look at it ;-)
1) Support PS4 => why should I buy a PS4K
2) Support PS4K => FU Sony, I already have a PS4
So, now that we're coming to the end of the OG PS4's natural lifespan, what do people think of its game library? How will we remember it in the future?
Answer to 1) - You don't have to, that's the point; answer to 2) this is for people who don't already have PS4s or who can afford it. You aren't losing out.
lol

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Especially with games rumored to be targeted for the PS4K specs. Games will run like shit on older consoles. What I like about console gaming is the fact that I know games will run decently on it, and developers will get as much juice out of it as they can.
Hopefully it's not something we see released until 2017. 6-7 gen cycle with an upgraded console released after 3-4 years is an easier pill to swallow. These consoles have only been out for 2 years and some change.

GTA V Re Remastered for the PS4K lol
Depends on what they use as a development base. If they plan on continuing to use the 4/One as a base and scaling the game up for the 4.5 it won't be a problem but...

I have a hard time this phrase would ever be said aloud in an official setting.
We all know it's true (or at least likely case-by-case), but would Sony actually be stupid enough to say so? I doubt it.

Blasphemy!
I'd be shocked if Best Buy or Gamestop don't have an upgrade plan.
Man, I've been thinking and I'm not a fan of this at all. Might as well start saving up and go to PC gaming.
Not that this is pushing me away from console gaming, just that if I'm going to go after better graphics in the middle of a gen, I'd rather spend my money on a PC than get a whole new ps4.

I can't believe Sony hasn't put out a statement yet. It's insane.

eeewww i'm just seeing this happening The Witcher 4K, Bloodborne 4K.
We made you buy our unfinished consoles to make you now buy the real one fools!
I can smell publishers itching to use this to justify increasing the base cost of games to $69.99 or even $74.99.
Info is barely an hour old. PR needs a few hours to get an approved response.

Especially because there will be 4 more iterations before that game launches.

If Sony, MS et al decide to have hardware upgrades every other year then I'm just gonna give up on console gaming and stick to PC.
yea, i think Bish mentioned that verified doesn't mean all the info is 100% accurate.

If the rumors with more power etc. are true: Will Uncharted 4 get another delay? ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ
I still don't think (and hope), that the rumors with a massive harware upgrade are true. If yes: I don't think, that they will launch it this year.

Well, judging by this info, we'd get the game on PS4 as well, but From games already run... not super good, so I definitely don't want to see what an inferior version of a From game looks like.
Anything on your end?

Interesting. If this is true, then would it probably launch somewhere in the last three months of the year? If that's the case what about games like Final Fantasy XV and other games ostensibly released before this?
You;'d ostensibly have games like Uncharted 4, FF15, FF14, and more running on what would be under-powered software then. The cynic in me says that would just open up a window for 8th gen remasters, and 7th gen re-remasters, making full use of a more powerful console.

I wonder if people will say "fuck you sony" when they have to upgrade to the PS5 for game xy?
I mean you are not forced to upgrade right away, if ever.

Exactly what I was thinking in the other thread.
Where you at DeepEnigma?
Go into settings on your PS4 and change it to what you prefer. Oh no.
