The Only Vestige of Happiness at the Sorry Company of Sony: PlayStation 4

[bluaki]

Oh yeah, so I bought a PS4 Pro at launch. I'm probably the only person here who has or even plans to get it, right?

I just needed to get a PS4 around now and decided (hesitantly) that it's probably better to get Pro than the Slim/Original. I'm still not sure about that decision. I admittedly like the Slim better in a lot of ways.

That said, not one of the 20+ PS4 games I own has any PS4 Pro enhancements. Gravity Rush 2 will probably be the first.

i'll probably get one eventually, but i don't really see a point right now as my tv doesn't have hdr or 4k and they didn't patch bloodborne which is all i play on ps4 lol

once it hits 300 ill probably say fuck it and grab one

[bluaki]

The TV I bought last year is 4K but not HDR. With games, however, I don't have the easiest time distinguishing between 720 and 1080 let alone 1080 to 4K. HDR would be more noticeable, but that's not even exclusive to PS4 Pro.

Last I checked, Netflix seems to only provide 60fps for 4K, which I actually appreciate more than anything else that comes from having a 4K TV.

judging by the last guardian's performance on the both the ps4 and ps4 pro, you're going to need one for even 1080p gameplay anyway

yeah i was thinking about this recently with how recent releases are starting to perform on normie ps4s: last guardian is supposed to by quite janky, and i've had quite a few moments of jank in my final fantasy so far. i'm really hoping ps4 pro doesn't push sub 30 fps to be acceptable on the normal hardware, but i have a feeling within the next two years they might phase it out entirely because devs dont want to even deal with it i dunno

i had no idea the game was based on an unfinished Akira Kurosawa script, that's fucking cool

[TooB]

I didn't either. I only knew that the main character was based on a real guy, whose name idr right now

no PS exclusive on the box, possible it could be a timed exclusive since its owned by activision????

[TooB]

Who knows? I have doubts, but idk

what happened

the ps4 somehow went from being a $300 bloodborne (and, eventually, uncharted 4) machine to suddenly being the definitive gaming platform of the 8th gen within the span of the last month

nier, nioh, horizon, gravity rush 2, all within the first quarter of 2017 with more to come

in fact, 2017 in general is looking great for all but the xbox one when you consider breath of the wild and mario odyssey
