I'll probably get Neo if it's around the same power as Scorpio, if it's around the spec that's been leaked then I'm not so sure, maybe for VR. Price will be a factor, obviously, but moreso than if it was a "next-gen" console. Honestly, I may sit out this "jump" in favour of splashing out more on my PC.

Don't know yet. NEO probably not as it sounds like only a partial upgrade. The Scorpio I will wait on full detailed specs, It appears it may really be next gen rather than a partial upgrade if so then maybe. If they both end up half arsed upgrades then it is simply back to only PC gaming and consoles can be relegated to history.

Yes I am honestly planning on buying the Neo and maybe the Scorpio.

I just want my games to look more shinier and run smoother which is exactly what Neo will do.

God of War and Horizon on Neo=jaws will be dropped

Just got a PC. The Neo's a possibility, but hopefully not

I am not in a hurry to change my original ps4 as long as it plays all games and still works.. Neo and Scorpio are just optional consoles for this gen.

I am getting both Xbox One S and Project Scorpio day 1.

I will be getting Scorpio day 1.

That sounds reasonable.

That is if they can run current gen open world games at 60 fps. If not then why even bother?

True, at 6 feet you only begin to notice a difference at 45"


I sit 11 to 12ft away from a 92" screen, 1080p projector. I could upgrade to 4K and move the couch a bit closer, that would also give me a bit more room for the rear surround speakers. However with 1080p, high end tvs and projectors were in the same price range. Not with 4k. There are very few, very expensive 4K projectors and they don't support HDR.

HDR projectors are a big problem, a brand new high end 1800 lumen 1080p projector only projects max 28 Foot Lambert at 92", which is 98 nits. HDR requires a peak overall brightness in the 500 nit range, over a 1000 for local highlights. Deeper blacks are also a problem with projectors as local dimming can't be used, only dynamic iris that effects the full picture to increase dynamic range. Ofcourse extra light is also a big hindrance in a home theater setup. I have a special screen, black floors and ceiling, dark red walls, yet bright scenes still bleed into darker parts due to light reflecting back on the screen. Cinema screens are rated at only 14Fl, or max 48 nits. Which also raises the question, what are you getting with HDR versions of movies made for cinema. There is no such thing as HDR cinema.

It's a shame. The place where 4K can really make a difference, home theater, doesn't offer any good options. Unless you have so much money you can spend $40k on a 110" 4K tv.

1080p HDR is not going to happen. Real HDR is only available on premium 4K sets. I guess boosting the brightness and black levels is the costly part, might as well throw in the 4K resolution. 4K tvs without HDR are already below $400, while 4K tvs with UHD premium logo (that can actually display HDR content as intended) are still very few and in the $3,000 range. It will come down in price, UHD premium was only launched this year.

I'll buy the neo. mIll buy the scorpio years down the line.
