Rumor: Playstation 4 receiving newer, stronger iteration
Quote:
The way I see it, worse case scenario is we get remastered versions of PS4 games at a higher fidelity or paid "High Res" patches that do a similar job, with games being designed for the Holiday-bound PS4K that will run sluggish on the PS4 (or, even more devious, games made to intentionally run badly on the PS4 so as to drive the sales of the PS4K). But that's wholly pessimistic and unlikely. What I do hope comes out of this, however, is increased performance in existing games and shorter load times, as well as console fidelity options in games so that players can tweak how a game looks and performs to their own preferences. Assuming this turns out to be true. So, do you believe this? And in such a scenario where this is actually true, how do you feel about it? Direct Source Source Source #2 |
I would say this is a bad idea, but then I think about it and maybe it isn't. Seeing as the New 3DS is the most recent thing to do something like this and Nintendo seems to be fine I think Sony can pull it off too. I wonder how it will affect them though since the PSVR is already expensive and you know people will want to play that in its best form and they'd only be able to supposedly with this New PS4. So will they hold off buying since altogether they would be paying like 1000 dollars on it? Or will they just get the PSVR regardless?
I guess you could also see it as a minority thing as well. I doubt the PSVR is going to take off insanely fast and not everyone has a 4K television so this will just be like the luxury version while most people have the normal version similar to low-end and high-end PC. |
I wonder if they will allow us to upgrade to this new console if we already own a ps4 probably not.

Isn't there always a second/slimmer version of a PlayStation console throughout its lifespan since the PS2? The only thing new is the possible inclusion of 4K resolution, which isn't ready to be used for video games yet due to how expensive they currently are.

New details, including launch titles and expected hardware. And the internet keeps on burning. |

Alright, let me just say, I highly doubt this thing will run true 4K quality. 4K is hard enough to achieve with desktop computers, most of the time you need to be running with multiple graphics cards to even make it feasible. I mean, hell, when the PS4 came out they claimed it ran at 1080P, when really it was 960x1080 upscaled to a 1920x1080. If the thing couldn't even run 1080P at launch, what makes people think its actually going to be able to run 4K?
Honestly, I couldn't care less about the thing. I think that they are trying to add more power because the current model is too weak to run VR, which is fair. But it only goes to show how outdated consoles already are. Its only been two years since the new gen was released, and they are already announcing a more powerful version? Something just feels wrong about this. I for one wont be using PS VR, and don't care about 4K resolution, so I won't be picking one up. |
