Making The Jump From PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 4 Pro Was it Worth it?

They were all out of NES Classic Editions! So Poli Games host, Joseph,
makes the jump from the PlayStation 4, to the PlayStation 4 Pro. Joe talks
about whether people without 4k tvs actually benefit from the console.
Whether games like Bloodborne, Titanfall 2, Dishonored 2,Battlefield 1, and
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare benefit from the PS4 Pros extra performance
power. Whether its worth the wait or if you should wait on the newest
edition to the Sony Console family. Do you care about resolution and frame
rate? Let me know in the description!

What wait? It came out sooner than expected.

kevnb3147d ago

If you are going to be playing one of the games that got a nice boost, why wait?

Artemidorus3147d ago (Edited 3147d ago )

The It's not worth the jump maybe more of a reason if you own a 4KTV but going out of your way spending nearly 1000 for a TV then nearly 1000 for the pro the VR with extras seems all too much.

Playstation 4 handles does a good enough job more so on a regular TV.

seanpitt233147d ago

Well I got my pro on release and been playing bf1 non stop on a 1080p TV.
This is after playing 40hours on the normal ps4 I can say it's hands down a better experience.
The supersampled image is so much crisper at 1080p which make the graphics stand out so much better.
The fps is night and day better hitting a constant 60fps in conquest it's like a different game.
This is like what dice wanted it to be like but the ps4 xb1 just are not capable of giving that stable fps

blady_man3147d ago

I agree with u, i have a 4k non hdr tv and battlefield is looking fantastic in multiplayer, an area where for some reason on my original ps4 @1080p i wasnt that good impressed, i already own the psvr and u can clearly see a difference, in the RE demon (kitchen) in the original when i turned and look behind me i couldnt see much of the back die to the draw distance, i now can see every single detail!! I am happy with my move to upgrade

Logic : if you don't own 4K HDR Tv What's the Point owning PSpro? continue with original ps4 problem solve .
Do we Really "Need life-like " graphics to play fantasy military game ?? No.

Poli_Games3147d ago

Yeah, i feel yeah. I dont' want "life-like" graphics. I feel like it would be and get very weird, very fast.

Dark SNES Games Not Made For Kids

As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

YourMommySpoils26m ago

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning771d 1h ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

First Forza being generated entirely via AI?

“ Nintendo Switch 2 still dominating in Japan”

Such a strange headline. I mean it’s a brand new console released on June 5th. It would be weird if it wasn’t still dominating in sales.

repsahj23h ago

It would be even stranger if the headline was that the Switch 2 wasn't selling. XD

raWfodog5h ago

Yeah, that’s basically what I’m saying but obviously others don’t agree.

wesnytsfs1d 5h ago

I figure its dominating everywhere. I stopped with consoles this gen sticking with PC and the switch will get 99% of the games this way.

repsahj1d ago

Going strong sales! The Switch 2 was launched here in Southeast Asia on June 26. I was among those who pre-ordered. I got my unit the same day with Cyberpunk 2077, and there was a long line of people getting their pre-orders, not as long as the line when a NBA 2K series launched, but it was different because it will be released on all platforms.

I want to see how well the June and July world wide sales.
