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

Oh they will go home... at launch of PS5 when no one buys it

Launch titles for the Next Gen are going to play a bigger role than ever before.

Promises of what's to come isn't going to cut it anymore. Aren't we still waiting for some "first year" titles to come out? And we're going to get a new console?
 
I'll be honest, after working with ninty for years I don't think nx is a console. I think it's a hand held. I think ninty will wait for next gen to announce their new console. This is my opinion which others also believe.

I have been thinking this the whole time as well. Especially with the whole mobile direction, etc..

Pssst wana get high
er framerates
?

Hahahaha, fuck I almost spit out my vodka, water and lime.

It's the only move for them at the moment. They aren't a hw studio but they can pull off a great handheld division.

Agreed with this. They also have a gold mine caliber of 'Disney-like' IP's/Mascotts, so it is good they are finally realizing this, and doing that deal with Universal Theme Parks.

Since the Vita is slowly being put to rest, I am ready to jump on this handheld if it looks great for my Nintendo IP nostalgia fix.
 
Thanks for all the info Boogz, much appreciated.

Yup no problem. The one thing I won't do is leak official specs. That's the companies job. Leaking info like that changes a lot of pre-planned events and announcements. While I may get spec info later I won't drop it here. Sorry, can't.
 
Bring on the PS4TF!

As a side note, I don't see any mention of upgraded RAM by the OP. If it will indeed be targeted at 4K (even while keeping the IQ the same as the current PS4) you are going to need more of this. Perhaps 12-16GB GDDR5(X) or HBM(2)?

Does this have typical upscaling or something more complex? I hope that's not pushing it. It's my biggest question right now.
 
I'd say Sony has been pretty good regarding leaks, but I think this is something you can't really pin down. I mean didn't we hear devs were openly talking about this at GDC? The tech is clearly out there so naturally people start talking and they do have sources.

Notice how Sony hasn't said Jack shit about any of this. Have they even made their patented. "We don't comment on rumor and speculation"? Maybe this info being out there lets them see how people are reacting to it and how to properly market this.

All that power will be toward the power glove.

Check your PM's please got another bit of Info from "Diana" and would appreciate your opinion before posting or not.
 
I can't answer this, sorry.

Newer GPU architectures utilize Delta compression so there is no need for more RAM. I am curious if they will go for GDDR5X though.
 
Dude I was innocently perusing and you had to bring up vodka. Had to pour one for myself.

Na Zdorovie!

Even thought the one I am quenching on now is Polish (Luksusowa, great gluten free potato vodka, like really good!).

Which ones did you guys go with? I'm in the market for a 4K TV myself.

I was actually in the market for a 1080p set. I only jumped on the Sony 49XBR830C because they had an 'open box' that was never used or even taken out, that they gave me it for less than the W800C I was gonna get for $700 as a hold over for a year or two until OLED mature's with other makers entering the arena.

So I bit, because it was 4K, heard fantastic things about the X1 chip and it's scaler, perfect 4:4:4 60fps in 4K with PC, and it was a great TV for $600 (it was brand new, TV never taken out) when it now retails for $900 'on sale'.

Glad I did, I am loving it. Daredevil in 4K on Netflix, bruh! And PS4 games look native, especially the 900p Battlefront. This scaler delivers.
 
I just hope developers are happy and we continue to get games like Ratchet and Uncharted 4. This gen feels like it's just taking off, don't want any drama, just bring the games. I'm ready to be WOWed.
 
This is a exciting time to be a console gamer, we have a choice now, stick with out dated hardware for 6 years or upgrade mid generation. The people crying about ps4 games gonna get gimped cause they will focus on better hardware, this is already happening unless all you do is buy playstation consoles for exclusives.
 
2X performance is hardly adequate for mid-gen though, let alone the PS5.
The 2x is only for the GPU by itself. There is also said to be a change to the CPU, the overall performance could get a much higher boost than just 2x. But yeah, I agree with the statementt that it's definitely not enough for a PS5.
 
Yes and devs being happy. Will this kill day 1 pat he's?!? Nope, but a happy dev is a + for the end user.

Which would make dev more happy, leave weaker hardware behind, focus all energy to bring the best out of better hardware or make sure both hardware equally shine?
 
Yep.

Perhaps all the leaks being Sony focused means they're further ahead on the dev side of things?



I'm guessing he probably means that leaking the detailed specs would ruin the reveal plans too much.

I was just asking about the overall perspective and why he saw things the way he did beyond his current comments was all.
 
Got nothing sorry GAF. Maybe when I get back from my vacation.

On a side note. I still have not spoken to one person in the industry that has a nx kit or is going to support it. That's it. See you in a week.

That's it folks, pack it up, console gaming is dead. Our last hope was Nintendo and not even they can save us now.

Sony will milk us dry with yearly updates. This year it's $2000 for a PSVR, ps4k, and a 4K TV then next year it will be another $4000 for ps48k, psvr2 and an 8k TV.

Meanwhile Microsoft will steal all our consumer rights with draconian DRM plans, will spy on your children via Kinect and Cortana will steal your wife through hypnosis.

We need to fight this. Everyone to the build a PC thread, GabeN is our last hope.
