400 plus 450 vr plus games plus….

My arguments against pc gaming getting backfired, dunno the stance behind new consoles upgrading
4k tvs can wait.

The next generation of consoles needs to seriously think about bringing a unified platform. If i buy something on the psn i want to be able to play it on the ps4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. I do not want to rebuy it at inflated prices. And i do not want to own a console where most of the games worth playing could be owned on a different platform for a much better deal. If i buy a game on android 6.0, i know i will get support for it on 7.0 without rebuying. Consoles need to follow this if they expect me to buy them Tongue

But with the 4.5, as has been with things like: the dsi, and new 3ds, or the n64 expansion…. it will probably see very limited developer support for exclusive content. (or i guess no exclusive games at all). Regardless of what anybody says around launch.

The weird thing is that so much has been said/leaked about the PS4.5/4K/Neo without Sony actually saying anything. Could they be leaking on purpose to see the reactions?
I’m going to wait until e3 to see what really is about but seems to be mostly about better perfomance for demanding VR and no exclusive games will be launched for it.

Sony seems to be soft switching into Steam machine stuff.
PSN will be all purpose single steam account.
If this will work we wont see ps5 as Shuhei hinted.
Price points are issue here and i wonder how old models would stackup, for old and new customers alike.
Its good for opinion leaders, VR and 4k sales, but have to see consumer reaction as a whole.
At this rate we could see VR 1.5 sooner on 4k.

Sony steam machine confirmed, Persona5 coming to pc.
With few xclusives i think there is hardly PS4 titles to switch from pc.
Things tranformed pretty quickly or ps4 units selling more than pc units making sony carefree.
Or Sony just want console space dominance.

The PS4.5 is retarded. The main advantage of consoles is having one hardware that is uniform to develop for. Now, devs need to worry about supporting 4K and the regular SKU. Also if games later on look better on normal HDTVs on PS4.5 than they do on PS4, they would have screwed up the early adopters, basically Sony’s biggest fans. It’s Sony trying to shove 4K down consumers throats like they did with 3D tvs although no one is biting. HDTVs already look amazing(I mean just look at Ratchet and Clank running on the PS4) without needing to pay another 2K+ for yet another TV. I already have an upgradeable console. It’s called a PC.

Still Devs will have double work from now, with different patches, optiimizations and watnot for different skus.
Gow, Dtroit and others will look stellar on one model , pushing hardcore to sell old model.
Some online games will be better on new one too, eventually hurting old users,
so they had to switch too.
Its a soft secret switch, if not today , tomorrow.
I am eager to see how old models will die out.
Uptill now bloodborne ,ratchet ,order, uc4 are just 4 xclusives that stood out on ps4 vanilla.
Other promises are yet to come and will look better on new promised model.

I mean deepdown is now promised for ps4k, same for gow.
Re7 to GT all will be better on ps4k.
Noway gamers like wilco will miss Destiny2 on ps4k at 60fps. Wink

What we really need is cloud gaming where your console is essentially a streaming device. All your games, saves and mods would exist in some data centre. That would eliminate the need to upgrade consoles in the first place and games could also be set to the highest possible visual settings - there would be no limitations other than your Internet connection.

Until that time, we’re stuck with these really impractical business models that are unfortunately successful.

I think the problem is that this is really unnecessary. No developer has come forward and complained how the PS4 is lacking in power. Ratchet and Clank looks almost like a Pixar movie, and I just finished Far Cry Primal and it looks amazing. This is the first iteration on this hardware for a lot of devs. Can you imagine what naughty dog will do with the hardware in a few years? We all know that devs can squeeze in much better performance towards the end of the console cycle (Though Uncharted 4 already looks great). All they are doing with this is pissing off consumers, and annoying devs, and chipping away at the goodwill they had in this generation that made them the leader.
