I don't want to preorder and spend $400 for benefits I don't really care about (TV resolution.) but I also don't want to miss out on launch day and be unable to find a console if it does boost performance--or even does away with some of those PSVR connection cables!
I think I'm going to go ahead and bite the bullet, though. I've already cleared a spot in my living room for my older PS4 so I can put the Pro in my game room. I'm just lying to myself when I say I won't buy one. I know me too well! |
I don't think you can go wrong with it. OR recommends a GTX 970, which the ps4 pro outperforms. That card (4GB) is CAD 500 here, the same price as the p4 pro! And due to the slightly lower res and only needing 60fps (reprojected to 120) instead of full on 90fps, the psvr only needs 53% of the pixel fillrate of OR. Add hardware multi-res support and psvr games should get a very noticeable boost on ps4 pro.
The pro has a rear USB port, no more ugly usb cable looping to the back for the breakout box. The box and other cables won't go away though :/ I hoped they would have a dedicated VR port in the pro, but 499 price point is nice too. It should be 532 here with exchange rate, even better deal.
I know myself too, plus it will be nice to have room on the hdd again. Pro purchase is pretty much guaranteed.
I got my first VR plat for Rez Infinite and just finished the DC VR tour as well, too much fun, even in crappy low res.
