Forums - Sony - Forget 4K Blu-ray, as a die-hard PC gamer I'm hugely impressed by the PS4 Pro

Normchacho on 10 September 2016

The salt around anything positive said about the Pro is just silly.

This guy basically just said what digital foundry did. That the Pro looks and performs better than they were expecting it to, and that it compares favorably to PCs that are a good deal more expensive/powerful.

Nobody is saying there's no reason to own a gaming pc. Nobody is saying the Pro is this perfect machine.

Relax people.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Are we forgetting at $400 also includes a gaming controller, designed for gaming?

Including a gaming Keyboard and Mouse that is of similar standard and quality of the DS4 in that shows an even greater price difference

Sounds like apologetics.

Sounds more reasonable than hating on it because no UHD drive.

Its amazingly powerful for its price while an XB1S is weaker than a normal PS4.

"and that it compares favorably to PCs that are a good deal more expensive/powerful. "

What does that tell you though?. I mean being burtally hoenst here, if PC's are a good deal more expensive (lets toss in the 1k price park) and powerful but the Pro compares favorably to that high price and eprf then what is the actual point of getting a PC if it's very close to that level. We're already seeing 4k native vs 4k upscaled and people who haven't gamed at native going "I don't se the difference", what does that honestly tell you about the high end and high price part then?.

Also I wouldn't use salt, that's implying that anyone with ana rgument against the journo is somehow "salty" which could also be aiemd at me, if you want to call me salty then by all means say it to my face if you do.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Really confused by any sort of vitriol towards the pro, especially at that insanely low price point. Were they expecting native 4k performance on par with a $2500 PC with a GTX 1080 in it? Surely people aren't that delusional.

Well some of these people have agendas obviously but as for the majority you'd be surprised. The gaming media hyped it to no end.

Impressed by a $200 gpu by amd and a 8 core mobile cpu? not a pc gamer. I'm impressed but not by the hardware, but because finally we have a console that can play all the games at native 1080p.

Well considering the PS4 Pro doesn't render 4k native and does not have a UHD Player built in. No it doesn't. Its just another underpowered console trying to be like a PC.
Consoles are trying to become more and more like a PC that now it defeats the purpose of even owning a console. My Laptop provides more power than the Pro and I can also use it for work.

If your laptop provides more graphical power than a PS4 Pro, then it would be roughly $1500 retail. "Eh, my laptop that is nearly four times the price is better." No shit.

Its an amazing value for money at that price. And games aren't native 1080p, they are 1440p and 1600p which is upscaled to 4K.

Most games are 1080P on PS4 already.
