slinch Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) PS4 Pro, $400, out November 10. Edited September 7, 2016 by slinch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Unfortunately from what I have heard from the conference today and read online, it won't actually be TRUE 4k, more like upscaled content. I don't think the hardware in the pro is even capable of 4k at decent framerates, and definitely not at 4k/60 like would be hoped for... Firmware update for everyone for free next week enabling higher hdr is nice I guess. Pro does not seem worth it except for the nice 1TB HDD. I'd probably upgrade when and only when my current ps4 finally dies. Edited September 7, 2016 by rooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Gogh Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I agree entirely, the Pro doesn't seem worth the upgrade for current owners. I'd only pick one up if my PS4 died, otherwise I'm not gonna go out of my way to upgrade. I do feel that the two consoles are a very lazy design. I get that they want them to look uniform but they're so unbelievably dull. Also, i guess this wasn't the event for it, but no backwards compatibility for PS1 and 3 games yet? If PS2 can be done then surely 1 can.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the directional capability we were looking for, folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just PR spin isn't it, they know if they don't address people's concerns of being left behind or buying games that don't work on both systems, there will be a lot of bad press and too many questions. If Sony had turned around today and said "that's right, PS1, PS2, PS3, and all PS4 games are compatible going forward" people would lose their shit. Every generation on one console with continuous support for the future. If only... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yup. I don't know enough about the industry to know why they DON'T do that, because to me it seems like this could have been an insane way to really up the ante against their competition. If thye were worried about losing out on old-console sales numbers or something... price the Playstation Infinite at $600. Ps1 games at $20, ps2 games at $30, ps3 games at $40, ps4 games and remasters at $60. I fail to see how they'd make less doing something wild and out of the box like that than what they do instead which is release an uglier ps4, with upscalability and a bigger HDD/faster GPU that's basically a non-essential upgrades for all existing customers.

dkrtz Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I've been planning to get a ps4 by November for XV and was waiting to see the information on the PS4Pro before jumping in. But after seeing the price and the content...I think I'll be just as happy getting a used original model for <$200. Do you think I'm correct in this thinking? As someone who probably won't have a 4k television within the next half decade and doesn't need their console to be "slim," the original model seems the way to go right?

You've got the right idea as far as I'm concerned. I think you can grab a 4k much sooner than you expect though. I got a brand new 55" for ~$700 a while back. dkrtz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I got a 55 inch 4k Vizio M series for around 600 a while back. They aren't so out of reach anymore. That said, Sony has come out and said that hdr/4k versions or patches for games might cost money. Soooo fuck that forever. I hate to say it but if you're going to spend 600 on a TV, 400 on a ps4 pro, and 70+ for every 4k game they put out for the next 5 years just buy a high end pc and get your games for way cheaper, with modding, with better framerates, graphics, etc. I've long been a fighter for consoles, but, man, they just keep letting me down with these "updates". dkrtz and TheGhostOfRandySavage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to rapidly finish my first SOTFS play through so I can pick up Tomb Raider as soon as it gets here... Just DLC and final boss left I think.
