Hardware Review: PS4 Pro - 4King Amazing?

Push Square: "For a company supposedly sitting on its near 50 million unit install base, Sony sure isn't slowing down. Just a month after ushering in a virtual revolution with PlayStation VR, the platform holder is days away from introducing the first ever iterative console model with the PlayStation 4 Pro; the bags under the eyes of the Japanese giant's employees say a lot about all of the thumb twiddling that it's been doing these past three years."

just to clarify, while existing PS4's can do HDR now with the firmware update, it is not at the level of the PS4 PRO.

This because the regular PS4 only uses HDMI 1.4 instead of 2.0, and this HDMI standard simply doesn't have the capacity and bandwith to fully utilize HDR, even if you have the best TV out there.

HDMI 1.4 can only really do 8 bit color, so while there might be some improvements on image quality, it is not reaching the HDR10 criteria

The PRO does use HDMI 2.0

The Slim has a HDMI 2 port. FYI

The Status of Every PlayStation Franchise

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.

A 20+ minute video? Just include the written list in the article.

Status in one word:

Underutilized.

The end.

anast1d 17h ago

Which ones should they utilize more?

BehindTheRows1d 16h ago

Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.

When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.

anast1d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.

Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.

Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.

Lightning771d 12h ago

Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.

Chocoburger1d 11h ago

Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.
