Is there any way some administrator on this forum can verify my status as a video game developer? I'm open to it. I would seriously be more than happy to verify that I have my name in the credits of console video games. I mean this seriously. It would be great to have a little tag over my avatar just to quiet the likes of people like you.

I take it you're not a dev then? Just someone with a decent technical understanding that it working based purely on what they think it sbould work like with literally no hands-on experience. Let me say something I have said repeated on this site - Just because it appears to be feaisble from a theoretical point of view doesn't mean it's practical to do in real life. Just look around you. Just look at the dozens of developers that have spoken out against this. You do not have to take my word for it. I'm just a very small cog in an incredibly huge machine that is console video game development. There are a lot of people with a lot more technical know how and experience than I do that have voiced their experience. So, please go ahead and don't take my word for it. Take theirs.


The "likes of me"? ok. I'm a doctor. Do you have to be one to know that it's probably bad to swallow something that says rat poison written on it ?

And who are these dozens of devs that have spoken out you mention? Cause I can also show you a dev that has openly spoken for it. and unlike the rest of these devs that speak out he isn't doing it in hiding. 

But let's make this simple. 

Are you saying. that it's a LOT of work and completely unfeasable making something that's already running at 1080p on the PS4 to remain at 1080p on the PS4k? 

Are you saying that it's a lot of work taking something that's running at 900p on the PS4 up to native 1080p on the PS4k?

Even after considering the hardware bump in the PS4k as opposed to the PS4?

Do you realize that devs will treat the PS4k as an after thought and just code for the PS4 as per usual? Anyways. sorry if I offended you and if you are indeed a dev, but I also like you to know that I don't have to be a dev to have a pretty decent understanding of how game development works. I may not know enough to do anything more than make an Android app, but o do know enough to know what I don't know and can't do..... if that makes sense.
