PS4 Pro review: The best games console for 4K players - Telegraph

Quote: However, having spent some time with the PS4 Pro I can say with confidence that, in this instance, the approach does offer splendid flexibility depending on your preferences. I sat with my wife, flicking through the options on Tomb Raider and getting very excited about the gorgeous detail and extra richness while she was nonplussed by the differences.

Super sampling is pretty great as well.

@Art

Well super sampling is what you get with a 1080P screen.

@Moldy

Isnt that the point in releasing 4K capable devices?

I mean if there are no 4K devices on the market then there's no incentive to buy 4K televisions. What the Pro will do is create an incentive to buy a 4K television.

Then again even if you don't own a 4K TV you can still benefit from the Pro.

S2Killinit3099d ago

Exactely. Its not like you need 4k to enjoy the benefits of a more powerful console.

Kingthrash3603098d ago

What or who is a "4k player"?
Why can't people just get what they want and play what they want?

Artemidorus3098d ago

350 for super sampling? Lol

Babadook73098d ago (Edited 3098d ago )

^^

What does that even mean? Youd rather save 50 for something with 1/3 the power??

@ Artemidorus

It does make the game look better

Plus other benefits

PS4 Pro Features (4K TV not required)
- Even if a game merely patches in a 4K mode, it will be downsampled to 1080p on a 1080p set which is a huge boost to IQ
- Some games (such as Rise of the Tomb Raider) are providing a choice over visual modes. The player can choose between a focus on resolution, frame rate, or other graphical enhancements.
- Improved Wifi (5ghz) from OG PS4 and same as the Slim. Source: http://www.neogaf.com/forum...
- Quieter system than OG PS4
- Faster game loading from the default 1TB hard drive - this needs a source to confirm.
- Extra USB port (in the back)
- PSVR gaming is visually enhanced. Here is a thread with specific VR game enhancements: http://www.neogaf.com/forum...
- 1080p/60fps remote play
- Has an optical audio port (unlike the PS4 Slim)
- Better quality video clips through Share button (1080p @ 30fps)
- Ability to stream at 1080p with 60fps
- Faster SSD / SSHD game loading through new SATA III port
- 1 GB of new standard RAM is added to the system. The net result is approx. 512 MB of GDDR5 RAM freed up for games. The rest of the added RAM is for other purposes (OS, 4K). Source: http://www.polygon.com/2016...
- Improved DS4 controller included (Slim too), with a more accessible light bar and lower latency when connected by cable (doesn't force Bluetooth)

Definitely not. Theres benefits for 1080P owners as well. And if developers want to they can increase graphical detail for the 1080P version.

uth113099d ago

Don't they mean "only console for 4k players"

Bandai Namco Entertainment Reveals An Impressive PAX East Lineup

Bandai Namco has some impressive titles for those attending PAX East and fans should be thrilled to see the games.

arissaseah5115h ago

Wow, it has a lot bread new lunches to offer, excited for it.

Garethvk11h ago

2K Games is there and supposedly Square Enix as well. It is nice to ser bigger publishers return to U.S. shows and hopefully it continues as I have not been to PAX West since 2019 as it's all indies and not worth the travel for me. Staff handles it but if this continues I can see me being back in Seattle for the big show.

Xbox VR Headset: Everything You Need to Know

Meta revealed that an Xbox VR headset was on the way back in 2024, so where is it? And what form can we expect it to take?

Yea, the problem is that the games worth playing in VR in Microsoft's catalog do not run on Meta OS. Hands down one of the best VR experiences I've had was MS Flight Simulator, and you need a beast of a system to run it well! The one thing that could push Meta headsets is an "official" release of Minecraft VR. You had to do some workarounds before to get it running in VR (which is an amazing experience, I don't actually play the game flat), but they just removed all VR support for the game after an update at the end of March. Bring it back with an official, easy to use Meta Quest version. I wouldn't buy an XBox branded Quest, but I'd at least like to see them do a bigger push into VR. Doubt they'd do it bc it's still so niche, and they're struggling atm and trimming the fat as it is. (But omg, would I kill for an official Forza Horizon in VR w wheel support!!)

RaiderNation1d 5h ago

I'm not sure that a Metaquest with an Xbox logo slapped on it constitutes it being an "Xbox" headset. But whatever.

Hololens is a damn cool kit... problem is price. So if there was a cheaper 2.0, I'd be down for that. I know you are trying to make a dig, that just shows you never experienced it.

Let’s be real for a second no Jk if Microsoft didn’t do a vr when Xbox was hot halo, Forza and gears was exclusive and sold systems there is a 80 billions of reasons and 1billion degree below Zero chance it will not be released in the near future but hey I’ve been wrong before 🤷🏿.

Jingsing12h ago

Future of Xbox is to slap an Xbox logo on things like slapping a Windows key on a keyboard.

coldfire9848h ago

yeah and the funny thing is is I was considering buying one before they made it pointless to own one. Not only will I not buy one this generation, I have no faith in the brand being relevant or support in the future so I doubt I will ever buy one. I can't see any situation where I would ever choose xbox over the other systems.

anast10h ago

Yeah, this thing is going to be jank.
