Sony announces PlayStation 4 Pro with 4K HDR gaming for $399

Sony has officially unveiled the next big iteration of the PlayStation 4. The console — codenamed Neo, which the company discussed in brief just ahead of E3 in June — upgrades the three-year-old PS4 hardware with a faster processor, better graphics, and support for 4K resolution. It launches November 10th, and it will cost $399. It’s intended to be sold alongside the base PS4 instead of replacing it, and new games will still be playable on the older hardware. The existence of Pro, formerly called Neo, was first reported on back in March.
The PS4 Pro can output 4K and HDR video, which is powered by an upgraded GPU. Sonly also boosted the clock rate for the new PS4 Pro. It will also come with a 1TB hard drive. "PS4 Pro is not intended to blur the line between console generations," Mark Cerny, the chief architect for the PS4, said on stage. "Instead, the vision is to take the PS4 experience to extraordinary new levels."


On stage, Cerny showed off actual 4K game footage from games like Spider-Man and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, not just 4K video running through the PS4 Pro. Cerny noted that the PS4 Pro was able to pull new detail out of the scenes from these games, even though they were developed for the original PS4. But he went on to say that select PS4 games will have improved graphics to take full advantage of the the PS4 Pro. Titles like Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare: Remastered will be able to support PS4 Pro's extra capabilities out of the box on day one, while Battlefield 1 and FIFA 16 will be supported later this year, and Mass Effect: Andromeda gaining support next year.
PS4 Pro will also improve the PlayStation VR experience, according to Cerny. Developers will be able to increase the crispness of scenes, up the frame rate, and more. Netflix and YouTube are also developing new apps specifically for the PS4 Pro.


While this kind of mid-cycle upgrade isn’t typical for game consoles, Sony isn’t the only one beefing up its hardware. At E3 this year, Microsoft unveiled a new version of the Xbox One codenamed Project Scorpio, which will similarly add 4K support and more power, while also adding support for virtual reality games as well (though what VR headset the console will work with is still unclear). Microsoft is expected to launch Scorpio in fall 2017.

So what, $800-900 in consoles in 3-4 years? Can't afford PC's lol wait until you need to upgrade consoles like Microsoft want, PC's with Internet subscriptions

[Mumm Ra]

meh, I got my current PS4 for $200 brand new when it came out, and I'll probably get PS4 Pro for the same or less because I always get Amazon gift cards through work.

But yeah, I still don't want a gaming PC for reasons I've noted ad nauseam.
Plus PS4 Pro virtual reality is looking to be pretty dope (i honestly dont know what they are working on for VR on PC though)

Not sure if serious

No such thing as a "gaming" PC either.

Anyhoo, enjoy upgrading consoles every 2 years now and paying the online potato tax

[JASPER]

online potato tax

[Mister Yo]

whats some good ps4 exclusives/anime games/turn based RPG's (not SRPG)

[JASPER]

Dragon Quest XI next year.

[Mister Yo]

forgot about that series. will be looking forward to it.

anything else? what about exclusives of any genre?

[Mister Yo]

downloading all the map packs for Killzone Shadow Fall now.

Black Ops III on the way in the mail.

him hawing around replaying FFX on the PS4 because Bloodborne is just way too damn hard. and i dont like the new Final Fantasy battle system (in the demo at least.)

those are the games i got with the system (other than BO3)

so whats dope?

only game im really looking forward to is Persona 5 as ive been waiting for years and i coulda just got it for PS3 but i got a decent deal on the four so its all good.

i almost forgot StonerSloth turns into JP from Grandma's Boy anytime the word game or PC is mentioned, as if everybody enjoys jacking off to them as much because I play like 3 different games in any given year - the fuck would I want a $1k PC for that I wouldnt use.
and yet I still know that people build PCs that are engineered towards handling games, and call them gaming PCs, n00b
I actually highly enjoy buying consoles though, I'm sorry this makes you angry

[The Hound]

^^ unnecessarily upset.

You don't need a $1k computer. If you really did know anyone in the real world who built computers you'd know that. The potato masher for example was built on about $500US and is superior to the potatoes. A PC is a PC, they have multiple functions and uses. Gaming PC is some term used by salesmen at Walmart to con dumb cunts in to buying an over priced, underperforming PC.

I mean, you enjoy 24fps (14fps since you're a fallout 4 fan ) so do you. Upscaled 1080p and stable 24fps go PS!!

A $400 PC vastly outperforms a PS4. Plus you don't have to pay $50 a year to make use of the consoles wifi module.

Another plus is being able to use mouse and keyboard, or any controller you'd like.

Games are a lot cheaper on PC.

Modding expends the lifespan of games.

Emulation, you can play old console games on PC in much better quality and framerate.

PC has more exclusives.

Really, there's no reason to not have a capable PC if you enjoy gaming.

you copy paste the same points in every thread ever made about consoles, we get it dood

i honestly didn't think $400 could get you all that much for a PC, any recommendations (websites, ect) ? If that's so then I might look into it
