According to a report from Kotaku, Sony has begun briefing game publishers on its plans for the new hardware in recent weeks, including at a series of meetings held at the Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco this week.
Citing multiple anonymous developer sources, the report (from Kotaku) states that the primary difference between the so-called “PS4.5” and the current model would be an upgraded GPU. The more powerful hardware would allow developers to make games that run at 4K resolution. The current PS4 can play videos and show images in 4K, but games only run at 1080p.
Making console games that run at 4K resolution is total nonsense at this point in time. It's like a ps2.5 for 1080p games in 2003.
