During yesterday’s PlayStation Meeting, Sony Interactive Entertainment promised to make the gameplay footage showcased available on-demand in 4K resolution, and they indeed have.

Oh ya a Sony device that upscales to 4k... Hmm yup and everyone dissed me for that move....

Sony made 2 mistakes with the pro. 1) no uhd drive and 2) the cpu was a hug bottleneck on Oh ps4 and they threw it back into the pro..
Definition of insanity. "let's do this again, I guarantee we'll get better results themis time". Well let's just hope all Ps pro games are gpu bound

Harkins17213167d ago

They wanted to keep the costs down. If they wanted to screw themselves over they would have done another PS3 price tag. No one bought the system like they bought the PS4. Sony learned their lesson. People wanted a cheaper console. Case closed.

Kingthrash3603167d ago

Don't explain logic anymore bro. They still high on what they think they know.

maniacmayhem3166d ago

Then what is the slim for? And why does the Xbox One S have a UHD also? And they're selling a *Pro* system at a bargain bin price? How much sense does that really make?

Imagine buying a Lexus GS F and having them not include air conditioning because they want to keep the cost down.

SpeakTruthAlways3166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

@maniac

Sony sold a premium feature packed console (ps3) for a very high price tag and we know what happened. Sony has learned the lesson since then. They wanted a great price point for ps pro hence $399, only $50 more than the 1tb xbox one S but 3x more powerful, that is how much value you are getting with pro. But gamers still complain, albeit majority of the people complaining are the xbox fanboys that had no intention to but the console to begin with. Funny!

As for the big deal people are making over absence of uhd bluray, sony created a great "gaming" console for a fantastic price and that's what majority of the gamers care about.

Maxor3166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

By keeping the cost down they're setting themselves up for a specs smack down by Scorpio. Is there going to be a Neo Pro in 2017? If there is, how will the Sony user base react to the annual upgrade cycle?

My guess is they will love it, just like how Xbox fans are hailing the Scorpio as the savior. Anual console upgrade cycles is real it seems.

WickedLester3166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

"by keeping the cost down they're setting themselves up for a smack down by scorpio."

@Maxor

LOL yeah we'll certainly look forward to that in a year and a half when Scorpio finally comes out. In the meantime, gamers can enjoy games with high graphic fidelity in 4K THIS year, along with a nice VR experience.

mike32UK3166d ago

Ok I'm all about keeping costs down but they already have the cheap console, that is the Slim. I feel like they should have put a bit more oomph into the console I would have happily paid upwards of £500 for a beefier PS4 Pro. I'll still buy it regardless, but it would have been nice to see.

Cry me a river.
PS4P is 4K period!!!
PS4P twice as powerful as the original PS4.
How many 4K movies do you own?
Even Phil said not all games will be 4K on Scorpio. Let's see if you will complain about that.

kraenk123166d ago

2.5,times faster even. 3 times faster than X1S for 50 bucks more. Who needs a UHDBluRay drive?!

sammarshall1023166d ago

Not native

Scorpio will have some 4K native games

Remember how you PS4 guys used to criticize upscaled images that's what you're getting with the Pro

amiga-man3166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

What sammarshal seems to be missing is that Scorpio doesn't exist, the pro forced MS to release specs for a next gen machine to try to keep xbox relevant and makes it easy for Sony to one up them next gen with the PS5.

The most powerful console ( by some distance) Is now clearly the PS4 pro. only strengthening Sony's grip this gen

fathertime44643165d ago

Ps4p is not 4k period!
It's gpu is twice as powerful, but it's still the same cpu and ram.
@ sparta07 I have 3 4k movies cause I just got my 4k tv.
I'm finding it funny that all the Sony fans here are praising the pro for being 400 bucks and only able to upscale to 4k. It's ironic that you make fun of the x1s for the same reason and that has a uhd dr. Lmao keep looking for those magic beans bro

just another troll account from xboxfanboys

SpeakTruthAlways3166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

The number of troll accounts xbox fanboys have created the past few days clearly illustrates how they have nothing to play atm. Might as well pass time by trolling. I pity these poor souls.

It's Rookie going rouge. The earth is shaking.

fathertime44643166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

Actually it's not a troll account but thanks for taking your time to care.
It's a proven fact that the cpu has been a huge bottleneck for both Ps and Xbox. Did I praise Xbox no. I complained about no uhd drive and the garbage cpu. Even if not for watching a uhd movie a uhd drive would let you go from 50g max on disc to 100g max. Which means more information = more crap in the game.

sammarshall1023166d ago

@SpeakTruthAlways

What does that say about the bigger number of trolls on the PS side then?

conanlifts3166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

Check my comments and you will see i have been very critical about the pro not having a uhd drive.
That said the 4k footage does look great on a 4k tv. I was watching horizon zero dawn earlier and it looks so good regardless of its native resolution. The more i see of the games on my 4k tv the more i am being persuaded to buy it. Plus none of the footage we can view is in hdr.

corroios3167d ago

Yeah, the cpu is crap. I dont know what cerny was thinking. The same problem from the ps4 again 3 years later. 33% increase is weak

Destiny10803167d ago

the ps4-pro is 3x more powerful supports HDR and has checkerboard rendering for 4k upscaling has a 1TB hard drive and only costs an extra 50 bucks compared to the 1TB S-model

it will also have native 4k games on day one

akurtz3167d ago

THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH DESTINY1080, I NEED MORE, EVEN THOUGH I DONT PLAN TO PURCHASE IT ANYWAY

Kingthrash3603167d ago (Edited 3167d ago )

We in the same level or did you see my comment earlier? Lol be careful not to get flagged for stating facts like I did bro.

sammarshall1023166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

I thought you guys were against rendering techniques to get a better IQ and you don't know if it'll have native 4K games day one

A game using checkerboard rendering wouldn't be native 4K

Kaze883166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

@sammarshall102 there is nothing wrong with scaling, even tough its not native 4k it will still look better than what the original can produce. Last of us is native 4k day 1, but im sure that most of the games wont be. Still its quite astonishing what a 400€ device can produce.

fathertime44643166d ago

Upscaling by any other name is still upscaling. Maybe if they added a better cpu and some more ram than maybe it would be able to do 4k on more than just last gen games.
P.s. When I say 4k I mean native. Not some convoluted form of upscaling

badz1493166d ago

what 33% are you talking about? at 4.2TF, The Pro is actually over 133% more powerful than the original PS4.

kraenk123166d ago

He's talking about the CPU upgrade...while the X1 did have a much lower upgrade. Don't ask.

Rimeskeem3166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

He was thinking "hey people probably don't wanna spend 500$ on a console right now"

fathertime44643166d ago

Thank you. At least someone has a brain. Anything dealing with the cpu is now just going to be a bottleneck

They need to say upscale in title because I don't want to see x1s doing this *ish. 4k means something and it's confusing and misleading.

Days Gone PS5 Is a 'Really Good Piece of Work', Say Tech Experts

Sammy writes: "Back when Days Gone Remastered was announced, many fans were squinting to see the differences between the excellent original PS4 version and its PS5 re-release.

But now with the game readily available – and our 8/10 review declaring it the “definitive version of a fan favourite” – we’re beginning to get some meaningful tech analysis.

And according to Digital Foundry, this is not just the bare-bones resolution upscale some had anticipated – “a lot of effort has gone into it”, according to the tech experts. "

First game sell well enough to warrant a sequel? Our received well enough?

Alos8812d ago

It sold well but reviewed only okay, which apparently wasn't enough for Sony.

Cacabunga12d ago

Sold well and received even better.. had a bad first month due to technical issues but ended up being one of the best games from last gen

Knightofelemia12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

That's the nature of the beast. If a game like a movie does not meet certain numbers then they write off the franchise. EA scrapped DS2 because the DS1 remake did not meet certain numbers. I was hoping the remaster of DG and the fact it also came to PC would convince Sony to green light a DG sequel.

PanicMechanic12d ago

Critic reviews were appalling. The worst reviewed game I’ve ever seen. By that I mean, poor quality journalism, dishonest writing and review scores which are out of touch with fan reception.

Huge difference i must admit, but not sure i would notice without 2 screens next to each other.

Not getting this game still, i want a new game and im tired of remasters

Muigi17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

It’s $10 and there are plenty of games out there for you.

Flewid63817d ago

Then its not a huge difference?

Killer2020UK16d ago

Of course you wouldn't, nobody would. If you have never experienced the other, then you don't have the reference needed for comparison.

TheEroica16d ago

Sony getting ready to milk some more people on dumb products.... I can see the psvr1 and 2 owner salivating over days gone remaster. Lol. What a ruse song is pulling.

Knushwood Butt16d ago

How can Sony milk customers if it's such a 'dumb product'? If it's so dumb, nobody will buy it, and there's no milking.
Plus, there's nothing preventing people from getting a copy of the PS4 version.

Babadook716d ago

As a PSVR2 owner. Yup. If there’s a VR version I would be there day one.

Greg280116d ago

There are plenty of people who never had a chance to play this game, now they can with the remaster.

Don't understand why people who already played the game complain about a remaster. No one is forcing you to buy it. There are plenty of new games to play

MoonConquistador2d ago

And then there's a group of people who did play the game, thought it was awesome and would be happy giving it another play through.

Unfortunately I'm one who only got it on the PS5 instant game collection so no path for a 10 quid upgrade for me.

Tedakin17d ago

Sony is now remastering games with 71s on metacritic.

Bathyj17d ago

Like that's a judge of anything
This game got scored before it was released.

andy8517d ago

Days gone is 85+. It got heavily marked down at launch for bugs where as others get a free pass for that. It's a fantastic game.

MoonConquistador2d ago

One of my favourites actually, I thought it was fantastic from beginning to end.

Kosic16d ago

And it's not even a big overhaul remaster. It's list turning up the graphic level by one. It's quite embarrassing, as the original wasn't that bad. And the remaster isn't that noticeable

PanicMechanic16d ago

“And it's not even..”

Bugs bunny NO meme

TheEroica16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Poorly remastering if images are to be believed.

To me it was very close to The Last of Us Part I. It was that good quality.

I spoiled myself by modding this game on my PC. Genuinely one of the best looking games I've ever seen. Whilst this remaster looks nice it just doesn't compare to that sadly. It shows the effort that these remasters could put in if they wanted

REDGUM17d ago

I so hope this game or DLC for those of us who own the original sells well.
Ive said it before, its an underrated game for sure & was unfairly judged upon release.
Please try this game if you haven't already.

For those who say 'i won't purchase digital only' you can pickup a hard copy for 5 bucks here in Australia, then add the DLC and you have a superb game for $20 or so.

Give it a shot, tell me I'm wrong After completing the game.

Game on gamers.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH17d ago

It was full of bugs at release I wouldn’t call that being unfairly judged. If you want your game to score well then release it in a completed state. Now with that being said I think the game was pretty good.

Knushwood Butt17d ago

It really wasn't.
The worst I encountered was a horde spawning on top of me when exploring a cave.
Did you even play this at launch?

S2Killinit16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

It wasnt full of buggs, it was very playable. That was the excuse for the hit job at launch before people started to speak up about how great the game was.
