Playstation consoles since day one are already awesome, but one thing imo that only Playstation consoles do is it gets even better over time, so adding some features like this one is pretty much a sure a thing. ;)

lukasmain1690d ago

You are right. Plus there are many many people on the PS Blog that are all banding together and asking for 1440p support to be implemented. One of hte execs did say that if enough people ask for it, then they will implement it. SO I believe they will. The fans that want it are making enough noise.

They want to focus on TVs, “I hope that PS5 will have a VR experience suitable for the PS5." No plans on a browser.

It's a maybe on 1440p. They had a VR controller patent last September.

They have plenty of patents for controllers and VR headsets, but you can't just whack everything to market and expect people to pay for it, especially right now. I'm eager for PSVR2, but fine with getting the PS5 launch out of the way before they talk about it.

In the meantime, they're boosting resolution and frame rates of some PSVR games, so I'd imagine they'll do the same for the new PSVR games in the pipeline too. Blood and Truth is now 90fps and higher resolution, faster loading on PS5 which is great, since the game was already beautiful!

“ First of all, we hear from Ito-san that there is no technical issue preventing the console from supporting 1440p resolution, with Nishino-san adding that Sony wanted to give top priority to supporting TVs [over monitors].”

Well then, can definitely see them adding this later. I remember PS3 launching with no in-game messaging and PS4 without a YouTube app. Such is the history of launch years.

I love how Sony likes to tell people what they want or need. No excuse for not having 1440p available at launch since, as he said, no technical limitation. There are a lot of games that play xbox/pc on monitors with 1440p resolution, in fact, most people don't have a 4k TV yet. I do, does not affect me, but typical Sony bs.

SullysCigar1690d ago

It's like how Microsoft told gamers they don't need VR.

nitus101689d ago

If you are in the market for a TV then 4K (preferably with HDR) is the way to go since the difference in price compared to a 1080p TV is fairly minimal. Of course, if you have a PC and are an avid gamer you would most likely have a 1440p* monitor although 4K and even 8K HDR monitors are also available.

* Yes, 1440p HDR monitors are available.

I have an LG 80cm 4K HDR monitor which works very well with my standard PS4 such that if a game supports HDR then it is detected by my monitor and displayed accordingly. Unfortunately, some HDR 4K TV's don't detect HDR-enabled games from the base PS4.

It would be nice to have the PS5 support 1440p but it is quite likely that the majority of PS5 users would have 1080p or 4K HDR TV's and to a lesser extent, monitors. If there is enough of a demand for 1440p for the PS5 then it is possible that Sony will allow this in a later update.

kingboy1690d ago

yes they should put that on top priority list

Gardenia1690d ago

Both VRR and 1440p will definitely come in a future patch.

StoneyYoshi1690d ago

VRR is for sure coming in a patch later on.

Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.

crazyCoconuts3d ago

When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.

Profchaos2d ago

Yeah same will be downgrading $214 aud is insane and we don't even get the streaming capabilities in Australia which they said would make the top level subscription cheaper.

If i was to just buy the games I actually play that come to the service id be far better off.

Ill keep the essential tier to retain the games ive collected since the ps3 and for mp but I'm not convinced of the premium tiers value any more

victorMaje2d ago

Went back to essential a few months ago. I’m buying more physical and it has helped in finishing more games.

Profchaos2d ago

Tend to agree if i go to the trouble of buying a disc ill typically finish it

Alos883d ago

Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.

OtterX3d ago

*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.

Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!

andy853d ago

Yup if you have a portal premium is the best tier for sure

KyRo2d ago

Extra has been getting worse and worse each month. I've had it since it's launch and it's been great to play some games I may not have played but the selection has been declining rapidly for a while now. My sub runs out in August and I'll be going back to essential. They actually add games to that which are more appealing.

jznrpg3d ago

Add some more classics with trophies. Vagrant Story first

OtterX3d ago

Nice choice. I agree!

Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!

Eonjay3d ago

I like Ridge Racer, Tekken and Grandia. Add Xenogears, digimon World 3, Classic GTA and ill be happy

jznrpg3d ago

Jeanne D’Arc was great!

@Eonjay there is a Grandia collection available for PS4, I’m not sure if it’s been on plus already or not

darthv723d ago

cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.

Obscure_Observer3d ago

If the consumers are happy, Sony is even happier.

It is what it is.
