PS4K information (~2x GPU power w/ clock+, new CPU, price, tent. Q1 2017)

This will make me reconsider buying any new console in the launch window, and I hate that :(
 
Yea the fact that Sony isn't out controlling the message on this is craaazy. This has the potential to go really badly for them, and if Microsoft comes out and nails their messaging on their plan for iterative hardware it could be as big as the stuff Microsoft dealt with at launch.

What's stopping them from releasing one more upgrade after 2 years thus making PS4K outdated.
If this is true, then I am DONE with console gaming. I will stick to PC gaming.

You know, this is why I'm saying they should release a PS5 instead.

PS5 = more powerful than PS4.5 and PS4.6.

You get double the power at half the price.. It makes the most sense out of anything right now.
 
Pretty peeved. Think I might just wait on the NX and use that and my gaming PC.

Risky move by Sony too, tbf. PS4 is selling superbly.

Hahaha, awesome!
 
This seems ridiculous if they're pushing for gaming enhancements. How the fuck does Sony sell people on PSVR and a semi-new console?
 
People complaining about sacrifices made to performance should realize it's not like the games were going to be better on the og ps4 anyways. We're shooting for 60 fps 1080p standard right?
 
In all seriousness. How many devs do people think are gonna go back and release patches on their games to up performance for the PS4K?

How many games will be made exclusively for the PS4K and in turn run/look like shit for regular PS4??
 
Are people seriously thinking of converting over from PlayStation gaming altogether? I don't know if I could skip out on Bloodborne, Uncharted, and God of War.
 
It would be nice if Sony did what MS is doing and allow their exclusives on PC. This would soften the blow to a lot of people I'd imagine.

That blow will still be felt however

Hmm, wondering if I should sell my PS4 now and get ahead of these rumors for max profit or hope that there's going to be some sort of subsidization upgrade path through Gamespot/Sony.

Company won't say a word until things are announced officially and such. IF I had to spitball, GS won't offer more than $200 and only towards the PS4K. Trade prices will TANK hard. Talking $80-120 for a PS4.

Personally, missing out on PS4 exclusives (what few there are now) is like worrying over raindrops in an ocean. So many games all over, so little time.

That's the only way this kind of move makes sense to me. Purely a VR play to market graphical VR bling at a locked 60fps minimum, but with some pretty significant repercussions/side-effects/considerations for the non-VR side as well.

One of the big criticisms of Sony is they do things half assed. If this is VR related, then maybe it is a good thing? I wouldn't want a $400 headset tethered just to the OG ps4.

well if it's real it's not like it's gonna be any different when they explain it
 
Well Sony and MS, thanks for stsrtin the console industry implodement. All I can say is good luck with the new sales once consumers leave the console industry. Seems like Nintendo might have to raise the industry again from the grave. Greedy Sony is the worse Sony.

If this argument held water, we would not see games targeting higher spec / lower number machines, and we do. There are far more PS360's out there than PS4/XBO's, and yet why did Activision - who very much love money - target the newer specs anyway?

Devs will push to utilise the resources available to them, and with consoles, that means targeting the highest spec they can, and gutting the rest for the secondary platforms.

Because people dont buy games anymore for those consoles. Its really that simple.
 
So 2X GPU power and a better processor which is yet to be determined depending on their $399 Vs $499 pricepoint battle. Surely this thing won't be able to play 4K natively.....upres I assume?
 
If he got into a GameStop meeting with that kind of info and then put it here to leak it, it means he's pretty high up and either he doesn't care about this job anymore or thinks he can't be found.

But they will find him.

Are you comprehending what you're reading? PS4 games will still look and play the same, why would they get worse? Think, man!

New games - "It was also stated that these games will in fact work for the PS4 but with considerable sacrifices made to performance. "

I don't want Bloodborne 2 to run at 1080p / 15fps on my existing PS4, basically.

This is a good move from Sony.

PS4 running games at 30fps or medium settings.
PS4k running games at 60fps or high settings.

You choose what you want.

Perfect.

Yes, if they had a launch with these options and one was $300 and the other $500, then indeed what you posted makes sense.

It doesn't fucking make sense the way they are doing it now. It's just screwing over their most loyal fans.
 
If the OP is real, fuck Sony with a passion.
That's completely retarded, they started awesome with PS4 and they're gonna alienate everyone who jumped on a PS4 early.

Why 4K and not 60fps locked instead?

Anyway, this is worst than the 600€ announcement. What are they thinking?

*roll eyes*

Do you know what kind of hardware is required to run 4K/60fps LOCKED?
Hint: Not the one you'll find in a $400-500 tiny box on that thermal & power budget.
Click to expand...
What? That's not even what Hydrargyrus said. Sounds to me like he/she is saying they would rather them focus on locking games at 1080p/60fps instead of upscaling to 4k.

All of them Xbox One games ported to PC, of course they run well on the console. Stupid comparison. What you should be looking at is games made for the New 3DS and cross-gen titles.
Click to expand...

PC games (and many console games) are designed to be tweaked based on the hardware target.

Stop being so dense. Sony and MS are moving towards games with different profiles that run across different hardware.

Forza 5 was originally developed on a PC running on DirectX12. The final X1 build somehow magically ran at 60fps locked. It's amazing, lol.
