Alright, here is my dilemma,

I currently have a very nice and well calibrated 1080p TV that play has active 3D. This is paired with a very nice sound system and AVR. However, neither are capable of the new formats, HDR or 4K.

I do not yet own a PS4 Pro but I have a PS4 Pro on Pre-Order with Guaranteed release day delivery. As I sit here, very impatiently waiting I decided to crunch some numbers and here is what I came up with.

For starters I will be getting the following games to begin my PS4 game collection.

  • Knack, 
  • Rachet and Clank, 
  • Disgea 5, 
  • Dragon Quest Heroes, 
  • The Order, 
  • The Last of us Remastered, 
  • and finally Uncharted 4.

If I go with a PS4 pro I can get all 7 games for the not so low price of $658 post tax and delivery, but will have to wait until Nov. 10th

However, if I get either the PS4 Limited Edition Uncharted Bundle, I can get all 7 games for only $503 post tax and delivery and be playing the PS4 by Friday.

As a PC gamer high FPS and heavy details are very important to me, heck I purchased a $700 Video card, GTX 1080, just to play all games on Ultra settings. 4K is not as important to me since content is next to nothing as of now. I cannot benefit from HDR without spending at least another $3K (AVR + OLED TV, I'm picky). With the information flooding in about the PS4 Pro I am beginning to second guess my Pre-Order. There are only 2 games out of many so far that will actually utilize enhanced 1080p SDR settings. All others employ HDR and 4K which for at least a year or so are worthless to me. PSVR does not interest me since I will be buying the HTC Vive Gen2 when it is released. I have tried the Vive and the Oculus. The Vive wins hands down, moving within a room to play VR is necessary for the best experience.

The more I think about it the closer I come to skipping the PS4 Pro, especially with the $150 price disparity. But... If more games start coming out utilizing 1080p 60 FPS on the Pro, I would kick myself for making such a decision. 

 

So, what are you thoughts ladies and gents.

Dragon Quest Heroes is on the PC.
Disgaea is 5 is the best Disgaea game.

That is about what I can say.

$60 for PC on steam and $25 for PS4 hard copy. For once Console is cheaper.



i think they will go for just super sampling on Ps4 Pro instead of better shadows, textures and such, so people with 1080p tvs will not see much benefits, frame rate should suck if the 4K version of frame rate sucks since you will be playing the same version.

i´m keeping my ps4 and waiting a full month before making a decision.



Well, I am getting it cause I want the best experience playstation has to offer so if you want that, go get it. If not and you don't care about stable framerates and higher graphics, save yourself the money

There are better exclusives than Knack and the Order on PS4. You could do much better

Wait for the Pro and buy the 7 games used or at PSN sales. You don't have to pay $260 for these 7 games.



Since you're a PC gamer, although ps4 pro won't get you to 60fps, at least it will be more stable locked 30 fps, less frame drops than the base model. Plus even if there are no enhancements, supersampling (downsampling from checkerboard 4k) will help with aliasing and sub pixel detail.

Perhaps you'll change you mind later about psvr. If ps4 base can already handle it, should look pretty neat on ps4 pro. Plus it does support moving around, just not as much as Vive.

Anyway you can always trade up later if you don't want to wait. I have the same dilemma with XBox One S. Would love to play FH3, yet seems a waste to buy one now with Scorpio coming next year. At least November is less than 2 months away. Btw get Driveclub!



Get the pro its future proof for 100 more

Which exclusives would you suggest then? I am not interested in Bloodborne or games like it. I also could care less about sports games. They used to be fun until right around the PS3 era where they became more about knowing every little aspect of your teams roster and the rest of the league then about having fun.

I wll get a driving game later though, likely GT since that is my favorite series.



Buy the PRO and cut down on the games, no reason to buy 7 games at the same time.
