Graphics not thought possible? Is this a translation quirk or was that intended?

 

[jooey]

Did they just come up with the name recently? Nobody can get it right.

how about Project 4pio

 

[Gai Murakumo]

PS4 BRO!!!!

 

[LordOfChaos]

But also...

"With PS4, we’re pretty much maxing out what 1080p TVs can do with games."

Lolno? Textures, shadows, shading, AF, AA, so many things to improve on 1080p. Not to mention fricking 60fps

 

[i-Lo]

So the specs are still being held in confidence. So it COULD be better than 4..2TF system.

 

[xam3l]

With all the 4k talk... is it native for future and older-patched games or simply upscalled?

 

[DarkestHour]

It's a replacement or an upgrade, not a compliment. Ideally you would have one or the other and not both.

Shawn said it complements the PS4. I was hoping it would be a standalone system. So will it work like a 32x?

 

[commish]

That's a pretty cringe worthy name. Neo worked a lot better.

GAF's use of the word "cringe" BAFFLES me. BAFFLES, I SAY. PS4 Pro is so far removed from being "cringe worthy".

 

[Loudninja]

I think the name is fine. PS4K isn't distinct enough. PS4 Neo isn't distinct enough. PS4 Pro is straight to the point. It doesn't muddy the waters when a consumer walks into the store and sees a box that says "PS4," and a box that says, "PS4 Pro." You obviously know there's a difference between the two, and then it's up to the consumer to inquire further.

Right.

 

[Oersted]

Unparalleled experience for 4K owners and HDTV owners

Okay, serious question. Outside marketing hogwash, does that have any meaning?

 

[wachie]

PS4 Pro is this year.

EA guy just confirmed.

 

[HStallion]

I'm still not sure what people were expecting out of this conference or machine or what not. Its basically delivering everything we've known from the leaks for months now. There is hype and then there is deluding yourself over what's possible.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

hmm that infinite warfare video.. didnt look that much better.
exctied about the MASS EFFECT VID THO

 

[Zaru]

All I need is a price.

It's all bullshit marketing hype talk. Same with "No more compromises". There will always be compromises because more power isn't unlimited power, and devs still need to deal with actual time and budget resources as well

 

[phanphare]

really dropped the ball with the name..

I mean it was right there in front of them

 

[tilomite!]

Just bought a 4k TV this week. Gimme a release date!

 

[martino]

Given the specs, now to hope for $399.

yeah everything point to the lowest leak...
ask 66% more seem not really justified to me in this case but with pro in the name probably came the price too (and i will buy )

 

[JaseMath]

That's a pretty cringe worthy name. Neo worked a lot better.

How is this cringe worthy? Any consumer will immediately connect the dots between a PS4 and PS4 Pro with almost zero confusion.

You're missing the context.

[Shotgun Kiss]

If it can get Bloodborne up to or near 60fps, I'm in.

 

[entremet]

Great name, but I'm an Apple fanboy so it works for me.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Shawn said it complements the PS4. I was hoping it would be a standalone system. So will it work like a 32x?

I must have misread your original post. It's definitely a standalone system, it's just a more powerful ps4. Sort of like Samsung Galaxy to Samsung Galaxy S.

 

[kamakazi5]

If they don't announce a Pro controller I'm going to be very surprised.

 

[Astral Dog]

I'm doing a comparison to what Microsoft claims they are doing with Scorpio, which is supposedly all Xbox games will run on it. I don't understand why Sony would be shutting out certain games from running on the newer platform. Unless I'm misunderstanding what they mean.

i didnt know Microsoft promised all games to be updated with Scorpio but it would be very surprising if that was the case.

 

[Transistor]

How is this cringe worthy? Any consumer will immediately connect the dots between a PS4 and PS4 Pro with almost zero confusion.

BUT IT'S NOT AS COOL!!!!

Seriously, the name is fine

 

[Ultimadrago]

Agreed. It's not the flashiest name, but I can see family's requesting that around Holiday season much easier than "PS4Neo" or "PS4K".

 

[Dan]

Neo sounds cooler, but it also makes it sound like it's a more significant update, like a whole new console. Pro name makes more sense.

Violent Graphics to come again.
As the year flew by the excitement
starts with the opening of another PS4
in 2016.

 

[Forearm Star]

Really wanted it to be PS4.5

Oh well.. Gimme a price so I can apply for my second job already

 

[wumster3000]

If it can get Bloodborne up to or near 60fps, I'm in.

Dude, please don't do this to me. Don't get my hopes up.

 

[The_Lump]

Really not a fan of that name. Just straight up copying Apple.

Also, this screenshot is just grade A BS. That's not how resolution works.

Other than that, colour me slightly interested.

 

[SlimySnake]

So no hope for 60 fps i guess.

kill me.

 

[Dubz]

$399 is my guess.

 

[Buburibon]

If it can get Bloodborne up to or near 60fps, I'm in.

Me too, that and Driveclub.

 

[Crayon]

PS4 Slim should really be called PS4 Amateur

PS Poor!!

 

[Salsa]

PS4 Grandmaster not the catchiest name for marketing

dude that's badass

 

[Occam]

Boring name, but does what it's supposed to.

 

[Stevey]

Pro? jesus christ.

99% of people who buy one wont be professional gamers which sounds dumb as shit anyways.

 

[Skinny Pete]

This is all underwhelming to me.

 

[zoukka]

Seems like a useless console for 1080p displays.

 

[chadskin]

wrong thread

 

[PrankT]

Really not a fan of that name. Just straight up copying Apple.

You mean lower resolution doesn't just randomly crop massive parts of an image?

 

[HoodWinked]

is that the first time they showed mass effect Andromeda

 

[commish]

Really not a fan of that name. Just straight up copying Apple.

Yes, Apple certainly did invent adding "Pro" to a product name do denote increased power.

 

[Occam]

Jeff Rigby was right?

 

[SlimySnake]

So it's definitely releasing this year.

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

"PS4Noob"

 

[Averon]

Sony have not gone into detail about specs. Pretty much confirms that the leak earlier this year is 100% final specs.

 

[UltraGunner]

But how many Tflops though?
