So ignoring all the salty faggots who keep yelling "FUCK U SONY U FUCKED US FUCK UUUUU", is anyone else excited for PS4.5? I've been waiting for the price to drop to $300 to buy one, but if this one gets announced at E3 this year I'm going to def buy it. Probably an upgraded Xbone too and sell my current one.

Let's say Sony introduces the PS4K at 350$, and the PS4 goes down to 250$, they should offer current PS4 owners the option to upgrade for 100$, with all their data transfered over. Sony can then send the old ones as refurbished models sort of like Nintendo did with recalled WiiUs. I think something like that would make it OK for games to come out that really require a PS4K to run properly. Without that it would only be OK as long as very few games require the PS4K.
>>
>>334886396
>better textures
Shit's only got 8GB of RAM still if the rumors are true, this upgrade is going to be a disaster because it's so GPU heavy with no significant improvement to the CPU or memory subsystem.
>>
>>334886396
Yeah, im going for this too. I already wanted to buy one before, now im getting one for sure.
>>
>>334886947
Yeah? How many people do you think would have purchased a PS4 in the first place had they known a revised version -- and not a simply slim, but a significant vision and upgrade to internal components -- was going to come out in 3 years? And told them exactly what the game library would be like at that 3 year mark?

I'm betting it wouldn't be the 40 or 50 whatever million it's been.

I've had the PS4 for 2 years, like it, and this news is really distressing. Does this mean the PS4K is going to be replaced again in 2018 or 2019? By that time the PS4K will be even more outdated than the current PS4 is today.

Actually I think it may be a good point. PS4 unlike the Xbox One has different types of memory making a 4.5 revision much harder than the Xbox 1.5.

It's going to be at least a year or two before it gets any worthwhile exclusive and by then the PS5 will be just around the corner and the exclusive will get a PS5 remastered edition anyway. There's literally no point to buying it if you already have a PS4 unless you just have money to burn.
>>
>>334887824
>the CPU is getting upgraded, it's 15% faster among other features
It's actually more like 30% faster but that's nothing compared to the GPU, which is claimed to have 2x the shader count running at a clock speed that is 111MHz higher.
>>
>>334887824
i heard it's just getting overclocked. probably without any cooling additions

meaning it's just 150% more likely to fail
>>
>>334887863
There has never been a console revision that more than doubled the GPU power of the system. Nintendo is the only one who has done anything similar and that has been with their shitty handhelds.
>>
>>334887624
>Does this the PS4K is going to be replaced again in 2018 or 2019?
Well, I have no idea and that's something that needs to be explained. Is Sony trying for a permanent accelerated hardware cycle, or is this a one time thing? Or are they trying to introduce a two-tiered model?

Is PS5 going to be backwards compatible with PS4? If it is, then what's the point of PS4K? If PS5 isn't backwards compatible, then I guess the whole iterative, forward console stuff is bullshit?

I assume this is to move 4K televisions and help with VR, with more emphasis on the televisions.
>>
>>334887863
This is literally the first time a home console revision happens. The closest example is the Expansion Pak and that fucking came with DK64.

First off, I haven't purchased a PS4 yet, so no, I'm not an idiot. I was going to pull the trigger and that's when these rumors popped up a while back and I held off.

Second, console revisions have never been anything more than slim downs. The PS2 got the most incremental of clock increases. It didn't get a brand new GPU with a doubled core count.

They really don't though, they're just barely out of the woods financially.
>>
>>334888390
Their mobile business isn't doing well and I think it's going to be sold off like VAIO was. Their television sales have lost a lot of ground to the Koreans and I think that's what they are trying to do here with PS4K. They want people to buy a PS4K and a Sony 4K television.

They don't want the company to depend on Playstation, insurance, and movies/music. They want some more consumer hardware to move.

Why wouldn't I just wait for Xbox2 which will get all the same multiplats and probably be a good timeline for Zen and HBM?
>>
>>334888338
but the main purpose of the new PS4 is to be compatible with VR which requires stable 60fps at a bare minimum, how would it not be able to play games at 60 without VR?
I guess VR games are more optimized and/or ugly as sin.
>>
>>334888862
vr games look like shit, they are basically HD N64 games
>>
>>334888862
Is that the main purpose of the new PS4? The PS4 currently has framerate drops below 30fps in games where the framerate does not drop on the Xbox One, for example in high-traffic areas in GTA V. This suggests that the PS4 CPU does cannot always keep up. It can't be the GPU because the PS4 clearly has the better GPU. If the current PS4 CPU running at 1.6GHz can't handle GTA V at 30fps, the PS4K isn't going to run it at 60fps with its measly 2.1GHz CPU.
>>
>>334886130
Everything that comes out on 4.5 will function on the PS4, the only thing you're going to get is a small bump in visual quality, 4k video support (not necessarily 4k gaming) possibly a slight improvement in terms of frame rate (games will be required to function with "the same or better" framerate as PS4) and slightly improved performance for VR gaming. It won't be night and day.
>>
>>334886130
The only good that will come of this is regular PS4s will become much cheaper. Like, sub-$200 cheap. Now I don't have to buy a Vita TV to play inferior versions of weeb games.

I don't get when people complain about this shit. Why did you buy a PS4 if you didn't think it was worth it?

PS4 still hasn't dropped to a price I'd be willing to play, especially since there's no games I want to play, other than bloodborne and you have to pay to play online.

See how I assessed how much they're offering for a product/service and decided it wasn't worth my time/money? That's how you stop yourself from getting in these butthurt situations.

How guaranteed is this, anyway? Sony hasn't confirmed anything, and the only semi-legit source that has mentioned these rumors is Giantbomb.

And when would the PS4K come out? I'm going to kill myself if it comes out this year.
>>
>>334889708
Mine came with an 8gb card. The bundle was dirt cheap from gamestop of all places.

>>334889790
You can unofficially play all games, but even if you go with the official list you can emulate the front and back touchscreens with the analog sticks. For example VLR plays perfectly fine this way, which is the reason I bought a PS TV.
>>
>>334890410
Supposedly this fall for $400.

Since component prices have dropped, this keeps the console at launch price with improved hardware. They need a new blu-ray drive to read 4K discs, and it might need improved hardware for 4K movie playback. That's why I think we're getting this.

Games taking advantage of it is just a side effect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Vita_games_%28M%E2%80%93Z%29

It doesn't. Not all games work.
>>
Will it improve the framerate?

I think it only does 4k videos to be played. Not 4k gaming.
>>
>>334890584
>How would something like Uncharted Golden Abyss work that uses the camera?
presumably it wouldn't, as I recall though you only use the camera in one instance
>>
>>334890584
So, does that mean that games will run better? Not necessarily at 60 FPS mind you, but at a more stable framerate.

It'd be a shame if they did, but I definitely won't get a new PS4.
>>
Nothing is confirmed.

Hardware needed to fulfil what rumors claim it'll do would cost upwards of a thousand dollars.
>>
I'm not buying it. If I have a ps4 do you think I care about a minor upgrade in graphics?
>>
>>334890947
Games will only run better if they're designed to run better on the new system. Old games won't improve unless they get patched.

Software will detect if it's the old or new hardware and run accordingly, if the developer can be bothered.
>>
>>334890947
>So, does that mean that games will run better?
They could if the developer decides to patch their game. Old games won't run better without an update for the sake of ensuring compatibility.
>>
>>334891005
There would be no native 4K games, unless it was something like Sound Shapes or other simple art. Anything else would just be running at whatever resolution and upscaled, like how some games are only 900p and upscaled to 1080p now.

If Sony or Gamestop or whoever has a decent trade in promotion I'll do it. I wouldn't buy one new, but if it's like trade in your old PS4 and get the new one for like $100 or $200 that's okay with me. I'd do it just for better performance. At that point it's on par with a graphics card purchase.

speaking of Sony fucking us in the ass, is anyone else having trouble with activating their console as the primary system?

Someone deactivated my consoles somehow and now I have to get Sony to deactivate the other PS4 or wait 6 months to deactivate all the consoles again myself.

Anyways, I'm thinking the security breach is definitely on their end. Around the same time my bank sends me a new debit card and says an anonymous company(or at least they couldn't tell me who) had a mass compromise.

Jaguar CPUs have trashy IPC. Even with a higher clock, it's going to bottleneck the fuck out of the GPU because Polaris is OP and double shader count means an even greater priority on feeding the GPU constantly. With shit IPC and only a meager 2.1GHz clock, the CPU won't be able to keep up with the demand of the GPU, leading to shitty framerate and poor use of system resources.

I really don't see a problem with this. They will now have a low-end model and a high-end model, the only real difference will only be graphic fidelity just like on pc. Getting mad at this is like getting mad at Nvidia for releasing a new gpu that can run games better than my gpu.

Also i think it would be interesting if they don't release a PS5 and just keep releasing a new high-end model and phasing out the oldest model. That way there will always be 2 models on the market the high-end and low-end.

I dont understand how so many people óverlook the fact that this most likely a response to the NX. They can't just have Nintendo be the newest console on the block with the latest tech because Nintendo doesn't regulate normal life cycles of their hardware.

The option for a better PS4 is just going to exist, in fact it has to coinciding with the NX. Nintendo doesn't even fucking make games that need the hardware, raising the standards in the middle of a generation is PC-tier levels of retardation, its not healthy competition, its destructive and it'll only alienate non-AAA studios even more.

>Giant Bomb reports that starting October, every PlayStation 4 game will be required to ship with both a “Base Mode,” which will run on the current PlayStation 4, and a “NEO Mode,” which will be used for the new model. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the new model will be ready in October. The documents received by Giant Bomb note that developers are allowed to launch NEO-ready games before the launch of the NEO console itself.

>The website reports that the documents it received states there can be no NEO-only games, and Sony will not allow NEO users to be separated from original PlayStation 4 players while playing online. Developers also cannot offer exclusive gameplay options or special unlockables for NEO players. NEO can, however, run an improved version of the same feature. If a game has four-player local co-op on PlayStation 4, an eight-player co-op mode can be offered on NE

No 4.5 exclusive shit. Everything has to work for both. Ergo, it's a choice, as you will not be required to upgrade.

Are you thick? 1080p (HD) is the vertical pixel density on a screen. 4K is more technically 3840p, it's just a marketing term, like HD was.
>>
It sucks for three reasons:

1. The price of existing PS4's will reduce signficantly, more than if just a slim version was released, which lowers the value of all PS4s.

2. Anyone who might've been considering buying a PS4 will have to take this into consideration, meaning they'll possibly have to wait even longer before being able to reasonably take the plunge.

3. Although games will have to work with the old PS4s, there's no guarantee that they'll work well. Look at Hyrule Warriors on the old 3DS. Sure, you can play it, but the performance is terrible. People with old PS4s could potentially end up being at a significant disadvantage in online games.

Thanks for beta testing, Sonycucks.

>>334886130
Probably not. I got a PS4 at launch and barely play it.
Maybe when it gets a price drop or actual games.

Or maybe I'll learn my lesson and not buy anything on impulse.
>>
The PS4 I got back in Jan 2014 is still good, but seeing as I decided to upgrade my trash PC this year, I may just wait for it the Neo-New-PS4 to drop around to £300 before getting one.
>>
>>334886130
Rumored specs show it still uses the same fucking TERRIBLE CPU. Which means the entire upgrade is almost pointless because the main issue with the PS4 is still there. The CPU bottlenecking.

There's literally nothing wrong with this.

I don't get sonyturds. They were happily gobbling up 20 fps during the PS3 times and said that it didn't matter when it still happened on PS4.

But now suddenly it matters for some reason??? Are these idiots unable to be happy without dragging others down with them?

As a Sony fan, you know what I have to honestly say?

I'm pissed off as well. I buy consoles because they last a good few years. If I wanted upgrades, I'd be a PC gamer.

the sooner sony realizes they are just releasing watered down PCs the better. either release a proper system with its own identity or exit the market

Why would they do either of those things when releasing a sort-of-okay PC in a box got them over 35 million sales in a couple of years?

I'm a pcfat, so i don't care either way. but i am happy that i can get a ps4 for dirt cheap once this drops.

I wanna play muh nathan drake, BB, infamous, yakuza, and ratchet and clank. I just don't wanna spend 300 for that.

>>334907138
I know. But if the rumours are true, some games will be gimped or exclusive to it. I'm not okay with that.
>>
>>334907209

You need to stop believing everything posted on /v/. There won't be any games exclusive to the new PS4. This isn't a New 3DS situation.
>>
>>334907209

So fucking what? I thought you console users didn't care about framerate and visuals?

>The website reports that the documents it received states there can be no NEO-only games, and Sony will not allow NEO users to be separated fro original PlayStation 4 players while playing online. Developers also cannot offer exclusive gameplay options or special unlockables for NEO players.
>>
>>334907345
I guess that is okay then.

At least I can still play games at ~720p@~24fps on my PS4.
>>
I'm currently fine with the PS4's performance, I genuinely enjoy video games on it without any problems.

It pisses me off that Sony is possibly going to fracture their installbase and increase the work load of developers for seemingly no good reason. All of their previous consoles have had something like 10 years of support so why do this now when the PS4 is selling so well and devs are becoming increasingly more familiar with optimizing games for its spec?

AAA game budgets have already dipped into uncontrollable levels so how the fuck is this going to help? You're only validating the cries of PC cucks who have high end gaming PC's wondering why developers dont and can't cater to them.

I'm not going to buy this because I dont feel I need the extra performance, I'm not someone who feels obligated to drop money every time nvidia releases a new GPU. The only people who seem to benefit from this are people who held off buying the current model and even if each installbase will still be within the same ecosystem I stll just don't understand how this will turn out to be a good thing for Sony.

I could see the PS4k working out if they set standard for each version.
PS4 has to do 1080p@30fps while PS4k can do either 1080p@60fps/4k@30fps.
That way at least the PS4 version is still playable and not completely gimped.

3 years is way to soon to be releasing this though, even if they are going the incremental route. 4 years would have been a much better point to release as it is in the middle of a typical consoles life cycle.

I could see the incremental route working though.
Release a new console every 4 years that can still play all your games but has better hardware. They could even rebrand the PS4 to just be a 'Playstation', no number needed.
Say the 4k comes out as the first in this new 'Playstation' line, PS4 and PS4k games will work on their respective platforms, but then in another 4 year when the PS4 is 8 years old or 1 console lifetime, you abandon development for that.
PS4k becomes the new PS4 and the next incremental update because the new PS4k.

>>334907675
You can buy individual parts little by little until you have a machine that outperforms any console, rather than being jipped into buying a brand new machine. With pc, you don't need to replace every single part, but with the ps4.5, the entire machine is outdate, and not even by a whole lot.

With the Wii U, you are going through an entire generational shift, most likely with something new thrown in (good or bad, at least it's unique), unlike the ps4.5 which is just a slight upgrade.

>>334908073
The game will designed for the current consoles specs in mind, they'll do some minor revision for the new console model assuming its installbase will be tiny and take a few years to grow. Meanwhile PC will literally continue to get console ports because nobody gives a shit about them

>>
>>334908237
It is better than you can upgrade specific parts if you want better performance rather than needing to buy a new console outright, it's much better actually but the price point of PC gaming is still pretty high especially if you want to significantly outperform consoles, PC gaming isn't that cheap either.

I don't think it's going to be an actual hardware upgrade, I think it's gonna be a boost to the resolutions it can output. for like, 4k movies and shit. There's no way they'll be able to bring the ps4 to a level of power to play games at 4k without making it cost 1.5k
