>House said that one of the key motivations for PlayStation 4 Neo was specifically to prevent high-end users from abandoning the product at an earlier point than its natural eight-year lifespan. “We’ve traditionally seen that some of the core audience tends to gravitate back to high-end PCs at some point because these are the people who want the finest graphical performance,” he said. “So here’s a great opportunity to have them stay within our ecosystem.
Thoughts ?
Can sony kill pc gaming ?
Guts, I'm scared
Is sony about to make based fat Lard ass gaben their bitchboy?
Oh no!
Buying steam sale Doritos now !
>Bad guy pc tried to sell you mods
>Corporate m$ forcing you to use Windows
Yeah, nope. Sticking with NEO. Made by guys I can trust. Thank you sony .
If they add decent kb+m support, and it isn't priced much more than PS4 is now, sure.
They might take a few people, but no, nothing is ever going to kill PC gaming. A PC just does too much and has gaming tacked on, not to count ease of mods and sheer hardware power.
Just not possible.
>wants to kill PC gaming
>too scared of Scorpio so they cut Neo presentation at E3
They can't even kill nextbox lol
They know the end is coming. Hanging desperately on to this gen.
>>342600363
It's already marginally weaker than even the Xbox Scorpio. Which is also coming out sooner.
Neo won't kill anything other than sonygger loyalty.
>>342600363
I want to pick one up for the upcoming exclusives so might as well go for the shinier model but it wont replace my PC (heck not even my PS3) because PS4 doesn't have backwards compatibilityI'm also an RTS baby
Seriously though this platform war bullshit is getting such friction that even sony marketers have picked up on it, each and every one of you idiots should kill yourself
>>342601002
What if sony starts making their own computer line ?
>>342600631
What the hell are you scared of? It's just a game console.
>>342600363
No it can't. Even if I was paid I still wouldn't buy a console. I'm not interested in a region locked console.
>>342601367
Scared that lord gaben will go out of business because sony is too good !
>>342601367
Will he ever fuck that loli or has the artists pussied out on the lewd?
Lol. Steam is on Sony's target. RIP. Good riddance you PKEKS.
>>342600805
>forcing you to use windows
lol, what else are you gonna use, Linux? OSX? Fuck off.
>>342601558
>What is chrome OS
no way. current pc gamers(atleast one who pays for games not intel board LoL players) are entuasists.
who tries to buy 1440,4k,144fps , VR and shit like that.
who likes steam and wont go PSN
who likes to play online games without fucking subs
who likes to torrent some times, emulate games ,
PC market is much different then consoles.
this will be shit like steamconsoles.

You are mistaking an attempt to reduce damage by losing customers to PC for an attack on PC.
>>342601287
Sure is nice to to have secret insider information on unannounced release dates and finalized specs.
>>342601735
Damn it must suck being a retard. How do I play BlazBlue with my friends from NA on a EU PS4 console?????
>>342600363
Naw until sony makes thier shitty glorified super shit pcs called consoles able to do all else that genuine regular pc can.
>>342601929

No, lol.
>>342601887
So the confirmed 4 tflops of compute performance isn't actually confirmed now?
I'm glad to see consoles finally try to butt heads with their biggest competitor
Neo and Scorpio will most likely have AMD Polaris chips in them, the specs for the Scorpio in particular are very very close to the upcoming 480. They will both be more or less on par with a 2+ year old highish end PC when they come out.
>>342602001
>>342601929
Yeh basically my main problem is with MP games being set to specific regions on consoles. And please don't start going "b-but it's gonna lag". No it won't and even if it did lag a bit my point is I want to play with my friends not fucking people I don't know.
>>342601757
Portal 2 wasn't exclusive for PS3 and every PS3 copy came with a free steam code. I'm pretty sure in the end most of those people went to steam and got other PC games now that they had to make an account to register their free portal copy.
Pls go easy on us PC sama
>>342601351
Yea... that didn't work out... the Sony Vaio is shit and have a short life expectancy... well had, I heard they stopped making them.
>>342601929
Online servers being local to their region isn't the same as the console being region locked. Unless you mean to say PC is region locked when I can't play an MMO with my Japanese friends because they are on Japanese only servers and I am on NA only server with IP blocking.
>>342601351
But they already do, it's called Playstation and its shit.
Do you really think Sony will open up their platform to compete with PC gaming? Lmao
>>342600363
No, only idiots go PC because of graphics.
>all these PKEKS in damage control mode
Sony is coming for you
>>342601929
Then bitch to the BlazBlue developers for not wanting cross region servers. Even SFV allows me to fight some some dude in Europe with awful ping.
>>342602424
I meant region locked online yeh. Also thankfully this only apply to MMO nowadays, very few actual games do that on Steam.
>>342601351
They would already do it if they could. They know PCfags won't bite tho. Pretty much all they got is their little black boxes.
>console with a static hardware specifications
>ever beating a PC that WILL get better hardware over time
really
>>342602126
>1080p 60fps will be a thing for consoles
took them long enough, we already had that for years. We are now trying with 4k but its still expensive and it requieres all high end to even run it at 40 fps ultra in some games. The only thing I want from this if they bring ports since the consoles are now close to PCs, is that they are optimized for fucking once.
>>342602436
>Sony needing to compete
>40 million consoles in JUST 4 YEARS
Can you imagine he success if Sony makes their own PCs ?
Steam machines bombed . Sony knows how to sell a product unlike steam. Gabe knows this and he's shaking in his father boots.
Neo will outsell steam box 49 to .5
>>342602639
Watch them shit out a new console every year.
>>342602660
It won't be a thing probably. Spencer has already said that if you don't use 4k, then the Scorpio won't do shit for you so that means at the very least MS wants to prioritize resolution over FPS. So be prepared for 4k/30 or sub 30 FPS
It's because today's console like the ps4 and xbone are really weak. Heck my gaming laptop runs games better then my ps4 does its a shame they released such weak hardware. They can't run 1080p which is basically the most common resolution.
IS THIS MUCH WINNING EVEN LEGAL ?
>>342602669

Post yfw you lived to see sonyggers become the applefags of gaming
>>342603359
yeah guys stop enjoying your hobby
>>342602809
So instead of running the games at 60 fps while playing in high to ultra with 1080p they want to force 4k while running at 30fps at medium to high?
and I though the cinematic joke was just that, a joke.
>>342600363
These are always the weirdest threads, with so much false flagging and bait that I can't even tell what the fuck is happening.
>>342602181
>No it won't
>regions accross the globe from each other won't experience latency
Anon are you fucking with me or are you actually this stupid
>>342603607
That is what Spencer's interview seems to indicate. He said you want to have a 4k monitor/TV if you want to use the Scorpio otherwise it won't do anything for you.
>>342603703
I've played multiple games with people from others region with no problem whatsoever.
>muh 10 micro-seconds latency!
Fuck off, retard. It's unnoticeable and I just want to have fun with my friends. Go get laid or something if this trigger you so much.
>>342603843
>It's unnoticeable
Anything above 100ms ping is easily noticeable and you easily get that much playing across continents.
>>342600363
>4 tflops
the new NEO is like a middle low tier pc and when it release PC ging to get gtx1080 at 9tflops and r9 490 at 7tflops
>>342603607
Phil Spencer said developers can use the extra power however they like. Doesn't have to be 4k. It's only sony that pushes the worthless resolution shit
All sony has to do it pack the neo with Sony's version of office and they won the PC war.
>>342605246
I love how much they backpeddle when just last month Spencer said
"“You should buy [the Xbox One S], because Scorpio is not going to do anything for you,” Spencer said after asking the reviewer what TV he had – in this instance a 1080p set. “Scorpio is designed as a 4K console, and if you don't have a 4K TV, the benefit we've designed for, you're not going to see.
>>342600363
>We made the piss4 neo to stop people from going back to the peesee.
You know what also would have done that?
Good exclusives, and you wouldnt have shat all over your consumers that way as a bonus.
>>342605456
Meant for >>342604887
And yet the neo is twice as weak as the Scorpio. Lmao good one sony
>>342604887
>Use extra power to make games run 60fps in neo
>Same game cant run at 60fps for ps4 standar
wouldnt that kill their online and also community?
why the fuck they just didnt make a ps5 or waited a few years and make some games in the mean time, they sure want to milk people. Shit like this made me drop nintendo years ago. Not a console warrior since I only play on PC for a couple of years already but holy shit things are going full retard. if anything pissing people off wouldnt they make them go to pc instead.
I am honestly scared for shittier ports because of neo and scorpio.
W10 games upped the min spec already
>>342600363
The point is to foster a good relationship with AMD and put out a 14nm Zen product early so they make big savings on manufacturing in the long term.

>PC gaming is irrelevant

>No one really cares about those second class citizens
>A cheap affordable console is all people should need to enjoy videogames
HOWEVER...
>Here is our new best and most expensive console that caters to that segment of consumers that we tried to pretend it didnt exist or wasnt important
Are they really stupid or something? Do they really think pc gaming is all about 4k memes?.
Its like they are saying "Here you have...
>A machine that is more expensive than a new cpu+gpu upgrade for you and performs worse
>With multiplayer locked by a paywall
>With more expensive games and shittier sales compared to any keyseller site
>With lack of worthwhile mods like (gameplay mods, nude mods, copyrighted character mods, mods that you wont get on consoles)
>With a more restrictive environment
>Please buy
Uh no?
microsoft merging pc and xbox, and the forced move to win10 is going to kill pc gaming
it wont be a neutral ground anymore
MS is roping PC gaming into the console war, because they're losing. or more like they've lost. badly.
Why don't they make some sort of USB DRM that gives me access to PSN and then port PSN games?
I'd buy that to play Bloodborne again at 60fps
Sony got so lucky this gen with everybody just shitting the bed in the absolute worst way and now they're still worried about PC killing their gaming division.
There are people who'll never play on consoles and just PC, some play on both and some will never play on PC only consoles.
I doubt they can do anything about PC, you still have paid online, modding is barebones compared to what you have on PC, no backwards compatibility with games even from before the 90's and such.
>>342610336
Microsoft is pc dumbass.
Sony can only convince third workers into buying their inferior plastic.
They actually think they can get Pc gamers to switch to neo.
A vastly inferior and underpowered console with less games and paid subscriptions
LMAO
I think Sony might be retarded, if someone wants a high-end gaming PC, they're not going to buy what is effectively a mid-range one over and over again from Sony just because it's Sony.
Well let me bend my ass backwards, drop my pants and plaster ny ass with lube.
Come on in sony
Who is stupid enough switch from pc to ps4. Get the fuck out Sony. Fuck your cancerous fanbase too.
>>342611470
People who want to play games?
If Yakuza, Nier, BB, Persona, Nioh, were on PC i would consider switching back
>>342611470
Weebs
That's about it.
But they're just as cancerous as Sonyggers.
>>342600363
PS4 was already a supercharged PC, I'm scared to think about all the power PS NEO will have.
Pc or neo ?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10576252
>people still thinking hardcore PC gaming is relevant compared to console gaming
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to shit on the platform, but the type of people who build rigs and buy console ports are part of an enthusiast market. The money is in the low spec F2P games that are popular in poorer countries, hence league's immense popularity. Comparing PC gaming to consoles is like comparing mobile gaming to handhelds. Sure, you have your emulators, ports like TWEWY and some decent original titles, but the only thing that people actually play are the P2W trash.
Competing with the current PC market would be throwing out everything sacred about gaming.
>>342600363
>Scorpio is meant to save PC
>Neo is meant to kill PC
I believe it.

If they can make the neo $400 then yes, it will probably make a dent.
But there is no way it will have the performance they're promising at $400, unless they're taking a massive loss.

How does sony expect to "kill" PC gaming? With true "never ever" exclusives?
I mean, it certainly won't be with graphics.
>>342612962
(cont)
And just for the games. Not because the PS NEO was an actual alternative to pc. Because it simply has games pc doesnt
>>342600363
PC gaming will never die due to the fact that there will people that want to stay on the cutting edge. If Sony wants to kill PC gaming it will also need to stay on the cutting edge it will need to take away the pros of having a console which is it just working without any tweaking
>>342611979
Holy shit... I think this means they finally unlocked the power of the cell and it's going to be unleashed with the ps4. PC is fucking finished.
Sure just like how kill zone killed halo.
>>342612864
If you think Yakuza, Nier and Bloodborne are anything alike you either haven't played them or are a straight up fucking dumb person.
>>342600363
4k gaming good luck doing that on a neo.
Also mouse and keyboard. And way better performance.
It's to make exclusives more appealing by giving developers a stronger platform to work on. It is also bad for that though, as your game needs to both work on the PS4 and and Neo.
Going to assume that a lot of Japanese titles will just run on the PS4 normally, and not really offer much other than framerate bump on Neo.
in PC i can use mouse and keyboard, brand xbox 360 and one controllers, ps3 and 4 controllers, third party controllers, motion capture controllers,kinect, joysticks and custom panel buttons for flight sims.
in PS4 i can only use PS4 controllers

>its natural eight-year lifespan
It's cruel that they're making the masses believe this when it most likely won't be true.
>>342605498
I like how everyone always ignores this fact
here's the thing, this new batch of upgraded consoles aren't a new generation, but it definitely looks like if the adoption is good enough, the old PS4 and Xbone will not be getting new games
It looks like they're just moving away from each console having its own very different architecture to every new console having similar architecture and therefore easier backwards compatibility
