Like clockwork.

1fps sounds about right for VR on the old PS4.

"PS4 Base and NEO versions of a game will also need to have parity with regard to peripheral support. So don’t expect NEO Games to have exclusive VR modes."

As much as I'm sure some people would LIKE PSVR games to run poorly on the normal PS4, they won't. They have to be designed to run on it at a very stable 1080p @ 60 fps. Will they look as good as non-VR games, or Neo VR games? No, of course not. But not looking as good, and not running as well are two different things. Especially when someone is throwing around terms like "awful". Looking at what Sony has said, a game that is running "awful" won't even be okay'd for release.

But alas, it's much easier to just repeat what you would like to happen as a viable possibility then to actually look at the available information.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I just thought of something. If devs claim there is no real big difference between the performance of VR in the OG PS4 and the PS4K (very small differences because Sony wouldn't allow more), then what's the point of the PS4K? Regular games will be made with the OG PS4 in mind because that's the one that sold 40m already, and Sony won't allow big differences on the VR games. What's the point of the upgrade, again?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Resolution differences probably (VR) and framerate, shadow quality, AA, AI, subsurface scattering, bounce light ... That sort of thing.

Don't really seem like big selling points. If Sony doesn't make a pricecut of the OG PS4 or downright discontinue it, it will be interesting to see how people react to this. Very minor changes for such a fuzz.

Which is exactly what Sony want you to say. Those with a PS4 will remain satisfied while the 'enthusiasts' will upgrade. It's a really nice strategy. I'm still not sure how the whole thing will pan out but I'm sure it can only help PS4 sales not hinder them. At the end of the day it's about the games and UC4 shows quite clearly what the PS4 can do. That is until ND release their next PS4 game or another studio take up the challenge.

I told you already, the lack of Phil Spencer threads. Can somebody find a tweet from Phil and make it into a thread to keep them occupied?
