My point abou the ps4.5 was you get the full fat VR experience and the standard ps4 only got sent scraps not that there was nothing at all with regards VR on ps4 so don't change my points to suit your argument. Don't forget the ps3 actually has more cpu performance than ps4. The ps4 is way more powerful graphically and has a huge amount of extra memory but the ps3 does have a huge amount of cpu performance in the cell. The reason I raise that point is the cpu requirements of VR are higher than normal 2D graphics especially if you want to be driving very high frame rates with none laggy response. Neither the ps4 or xbone are powerful with regard cpu performance. If the NX is using AMD's new CPU architecture it may be significantly more powerful in CPU performance over ps4 and xbone even if in gpu terms it isn't. The exchange program could be something like £150 off the price of the launch ps4.5 in exchange for your ps4 and of course the launch price will be initially high for the first few months. Hardly a stretch. We shall see what happens but its getting exciting if your a fan like me of VR. |
What about the ps4 only getting sent scraps, does not require upgrading to ps4.5 to get the full experience?
Do you really think Sony would launch a $399 / $499 headset and then say, oh btw, beyond some basic mini games, you'll also need a new ps4!
My Pentium 90 mhz back in the day was handling 90fps just fine, and in stereographic 3D too. And now 6 x 1800 mhz cores can't handle 90 fps lol. It's all about balancing the software. VR needs a lot less polygons as you're effectively only getting the equivalent of 480p in terms of detail.
The only exchange program you'll get is from trading the console in at a store or selling it on ebay. Sony is not going to go into the refurbishing business themselves.
I'm excited about VR too, would even buy the bundle if that's the only way to get it here. (already have camera and move, can sell them)
I'm excited about the prospect of a slim model, either X1 or PS4 with 4K UHD blu-ray player as well.
Yet hardware upgrades no way. That's the worst way to introduce a new peripheral.
Don't believe all the doom and gloom from the PC side, the current ps4 can easily handle the requirements. And its biggest advantage is a fixed hardware spec to make it possible.
