I dunno how I feel about that mention of exclusive PS4K content. I'm hoping I heard incorrectly.

Must say it is an interesting video that explains a lot.

the video was pretty contradictory in that respect

first they say "games in production that utilize PS4K" and then "all PS4K games will run on PS4"

(if PS4K is a thing) I hope Sony make it mandatory that all games will run at least at a very stable 900p/30 on the regular PS4, even if they are designed for PS4K

They wont do that. Sony is smarter than that.

Atmost it means upscaleing and maybe slightly smoother fps.

Pretty sure both models will run the same games (the differnce will be fps & resolution) and will be minor differnces only.

There's absolutely no chance of that happening. Sony are going to go out of their way to make you 100% certain that EVERY game from this point on will be forward and backward compatible. Once people accept that and get used to this new approach to a console generation, they drop the '4' and just call it 'Playstation'.

Hyper threading doesn't mean a core can run two threads instead of one though. 

Secondly, not a lot of changes would be made on the hardware side if Sony does this. and by changes I mean the only thing we should expect to see more of is the GPU. the CPU will just be clocked higher. 

I also think that a lot of people are getting carried away with how Sony could possibly implement 4k. I don't see it being possible to render games internally at 4k unless Sony plans on making $800+ hardware. They could however natively render the games at 1080p then upscale it internally to output in 4k with a few API based tricks to polish the image. Then end product will not be as good as native 4k, but it would seem. etter than 1080p....

If this is actually happening, I gotta say it is a monumentally bad idea from Sony, and a horrendous PR disaster in the making. I'm talking Don Mattrick "#DealWithIt" level of PR disaster.

My only question to Sony execs is: WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU THINKING??!?!?!

Seriously. Let's take the best selling console by FAR this gen and torpedo existing sales, fracture the user base, and alienate customers by releasing a "slightly better" version of the PS4 mid-cycle. I could maybe understand if this was some desperation move from MS for the X1, but the PS4?

Why, why, WHY screw up an (up to now) nearly perfectly designed, launched, marketed, and supported console by sh*tting on a 40Mil customer base just to introduce a speed-bump SKU? Stupid, Sony. Very very stupid. I guess it's true; any amount of success in this industry (PS2, Xbox360) breeds corporate greed and hubris.

Oh fuck... that's literally the worst time of the year on VGC -_________-

Thanks for reminding me. 

Still waiting for that Silent Hills rescued by MS's billions deal

HAHA not long now -_____-
