PS4 Pro Discussion

You almost had to be looking for the fov from my experience. It was almost equivalent to wearing glasses and looking for the edges/frame.

No blur effects were present. Everything felt solid.

No theater feature was on at the time, but i have a pretty good idea what that experience will be like when it does come -- albeit better.



Thanks for posting, looks like it has some real potential in the vid.
 
Taco Bell promotion commercial. That's not a PSVR commercial to which there are none.

Its not something you can really advertise, but I'm sure as we get closer to launch and even after, more exposure will be had. Take note that this is not a product that you can simply show off in an ad and it sells. It has to be experienced. Samsung is doing a wonderful job with this with the Gear ads. Its creating exposure for Sony's version. But I have to ask, were they this aggressive when the product first launched? Now its free and more ads are present. Hands on is where this thing will garner attention, not the ads. Aggressive advertising will come after.
 
I haven't seen a single PSVR ad. PSVR (and VR in general) are indeed gimmicks that are DOA.
 
Dang, be sure to turn it off. That bad boy needs juice.
Yeah, double the power consumption. Interesting. I bet that half-precision computing could come in handy as you could theoretically more efficiently use the power. Pretty cool.

It requires too much space to be suitable to a wide range of people just like Kinect.

It will advertise itself. Word of mouth is going to be big. The Taco Bell ad is enough. Kinda hard to advertise VR, but when people hear the words virtual reality that's all they need to know. The casuals are ready for the next big thing.

First it was motion controls with the Wii, then being the controller with Kinect, now it's going to be PS VR which is leagues ahead of the last two. It should do very well at first. Will it hold up or fall off a cliff like Kinect is the question.

I still think they will have predominantly seated experiences after a while. I think the main killer is how disconnected you have to be to use it. I don't use my Gear VR much because it requires me to have time and opportunity to tune out the world. Those of us with kids will have a tough time.

It's definitely an enthusiast/niche product. I do want one for racing games and such, but it will never get use until everyone else is asleep. I'd love a "vr room", but who has space for that?
 
Looks like Skyrim Special Edition will be native 4K on the PS4 Pro, FO4 will eventually get a visual upgrade and mods are coming to both Skyrim SE and FO4 for those who are interested in that sort of thing.

Skyrim will have these features when it launches on October 28. The new power of the PlayStation 4 Pro has allowed us to make Skyrim render in native 4k, and it looks better than ever. Here are some screens to show you just how great it looks.

Mod support will come to Skyrim first. We and Sony have worked hard to make this possible. Mods on PlayStation 4 will allow you to modify and create your own content by using our Creation Kit available here. You will not be able to upload external assets with your PlayStation 4 mods, but you will be able to use any assets that come with the game, as most mods do

After the work is complete on Skyrim, we’ll be updating Fallout 4 for both mods and PS4 Pro. We expect Fallout 4 to take advantage of the PS4 Pro in 4k along with enhanced lighting and graphics features.
 
Awesome! That's a win, win. Cool that mods will finally be available for the two on Sony platform. FO 4 should look pretty wicked in 4K.

Yeah, mods aren't something I'm into but I know others seem to be looking forward to it. It will be limited compared to other platforms but at least Sony and Bethesda were able to work it out in some way. I'm looking forward to playing Skyrim again with the graphical upgrades though, it's still one of my favorite games of all time.
 
f***, sounds I like need to get a 4K display. Damn you, Bethesda, and your drug-like addicting games.

Like i said in another thread. The PS4 Pro launch is looking solid. People laughed, what now? Skyrim and Fallout 4 in native 4K with mod support. The two best RPGs on the planet just got even better, exclusively on PS4.
 
I'm more psyched for the FO4 PS4 Pro update. I've played the sh!t outta Skyrim, I don't know if I could play through it again.

I'm the opposite, I was bored to death by FO4 but I love Skyrim.
 
I wish JinCA didn't post that, because I had no intention of buying Skyrim again. :mad:

Looks like Mafia 3 will have added visual upgrades on the PS4 Pro as well.
http://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/news/mafia-3-to-support-ps4-pro-will-have-upgraded-visuals-1470886

In an interview with Gadgets 360, Haden Blackman, Studio Head and Creative Director at Hangar 13 - the studio behind Mafia 3 has confirmed that the game will be supporting the PS4 Pro.

With Sony’s iterative variant of the PS4 hitting the shelves next month, Mafia 3 will have some updated visuals.

“I’m always excited about new technology because it means we can push our art even further,” he says in an interview with Gadgets 360. “For the PS Pro specifically, we’ll add some graphics upgrades.”
 
Nice. Also Mafia 3 is locked at 30fps on PC i think. Funny how PS4 Pro is supposedly trash but it's getting games that are just as good as PC versions.
 
I canceled my Pro order for now because no games are coming out that I want at the moment. I think I will get it when Horizon Zero comes out. Also, still don't have a 4K TV yet. That is my goal.
 
I hope the trade in value of my Vader PS4 is high.
I was told that Cerny will have a in depth breakdown of the Pro this Dec.

I wonder if that'll be at PSX? since that's taking place Dec 3-4, I already ordered my ticket for the first day, can't make time to go both days but hopefully there are some good panels on the first day.

Don't try to pretend like you're not interested in Battlefield 1 now!

Na, patch came out to unlock the frame rate, you fail once again.
