Just a friendly reminder, don’t feed the Trolls. Especially the ones that write like an oxygen deprived headshot victim.

If there is a PS4K it will be designed to optimize the VR experience while pushing sales of 4k BluRay and 4k TV. Hopefully it will allow for improved gameplay of regular PS4 games (60fps solid @ 1080p), but we’ll just have to wait for the official announcement to be sure.

If it ends up just being a PS4 Slim, then there will be a less enthusiastic response.

the same quastion goes to you.why would you play on the low end ps4 when the ps4.5k is going to be x2 more powerful. also your ps4 games wornt be backwards compatible like xbox ones are and pc is.

will you have to pay to play your ps4 games on the ps4.5k one day?sony has no real backwards compatibility at all its a pas service.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

I agree 100% with this disagreement

Yeah well, traditionally consoles couldn’t do that cause of various processor techs. As far as this PS4/PS4K thing, well maybe it can be done in future, but don’t think all PS4 software was programmed with rez switching in mind.

But talking about upscaling, Im not an expert, but i dont believe its the same as running a game set to a native higher rez (like 4K).
The PS4K may upscale PS4 games, but the games will still be rendered in standard def, just the final image will be ‘stretched’ to 4K

And THEN, even if a PS4 game is patched to run native 4K, it still doesnt mean they’ll look much better. Graphics is effects, shaders, textures etc… Be a lotta patching to upgrade PS4 games.

And even though PC games typically can down and upscale graphics in the options. If Devs have any interest in building more sophisticated software , that actually uses all the extra power of PS4K, that software simply wont operate on a standard PS4

Native 4K gaming won’t happen on PS4.5, but 1080p 60fps could happen and scaling 1080p to 4K could happen. Most PC gamers can’t even handle PS4 quality never mind native 4K.

Imagine if a PS4.5 was running the latest games 1080p 60fps with all the eye candy turned to max for just £400 total. Most intelligent PC gamers would just jump ship get a PS4.5 than spend a fortune upgrading their PC into a high end gaming PC. especially those that want to get into VR.

So when two PC gamers buy the same PC game, they both see the same quality even when one has a lame PC and the other has a high end PC. No way.

The PC architecture is scaleable. PS4 is based on the PC architecture, so it’s scaleable. You just make one game in high quality and make two optimisations that grab what each console can handle.

Wrong. PS4.5 is not a new platform. A new platform is a new generation and that is not backward compatible.

Can you see a ‘4’ in the name PS4.5 or PS4K. That means it’s within the PS4 gen, not a next gen PS5.
