This shouldn’t be a major problem for any developer that works on the PC, like some have said, it’s just adding another one or two new configurations to it all and considering how many different configurations options we have on PC with hardware and software, it shouldn’t be a problem these new consoles, even more so if the developers develop from the top down, so from PC downwards, it’s much easier to scale software down than up.

I don’t understand the problem. If you don’t use the PS4 Pro features then it just acts like a normal PS4, so no additional work is needed to make it compatible. If you don’t want to or can’t put in the extra effort then simply don’t do it and focus on a game made for PS4 and nothing else. You just said it yourself: it won’t ad any gameplay benefits anyway.

The HDR is possible on the standard PS4 but the explanation for it is apparently being ignored by some anti-Sony folk like Hvd.

The 8.4 Tflops is not a lie either if you actually read what Cerny said about it but of course the same anti-Sony crowd does not want to believe such a thing.

So yeah, perhaps you should get yourself informed instead! Ohh, and remove your blinders and don’t just look at the anti-Sony comments/articles…

Listen, I understand being a fanboy and all, but it is simply NOT your job to viciously defend Microsoft from another person’s criticisms. I understand being in disagreeance, but you’re acting like a little b***h.

You’re actually taking the criticism to a childlike emotional level. So what if somebody doesn’t like how MS does business or how they manufacture their console hardware? Why are YOU so offended by these criticisms? You’re obviously an intelligent geeky techy type person, but these are just consumer electronics, son. Why would you harbor so much hatred over someone not completely falling in love with Phil Spencer, and your Xbox? You really need to grow up a bit. Its just games and hardware man. That’s all it is.

And if u dont, ur telling people who expect to see top performance in every aspect of their $400 box, that they cant have it because of fear is short changing people as well…

Nothing wrong with more options on the Top Premium Box

Edit: So Sony is basically saying Pro is only for performance gains in single player games… well that sucks

If you make it so one hardware set can exclude itself from playing with the other, you’re splitting the base.

C’mon, man.

People who don’t actually listen see lies where there are none…

Cerny and Sony never lied about HDR and the tflops. That you don’t want to accept how it works is your problem you silly Xbox fan who has no life and therefor trolls every Sony article…
