Forums - Gaming Discussion - 1080p users, hold on your Ps4 Pro Purchase, it will probably be a waste of $$ (Read)

Ganoncrotch on 14 September 2016

Strange thread, you want others to not buy the PS4P to save money? I mean it's a Noble thought but when you say save $399 you are also then talking about not buying any model of PS4? I'm not sure I get that logic jump, surely if you are a 1080p user you could get a PS4 for $299 and enjoy that at least, saving $100 on following your (baffling) logic on the upgrade not being worth it. 2teraflops for $300 4teraflops for $400 I mean... maths puts the Pro at better value for money in the long term, not based on a single youtube video months before the system and its upgrade patches roll out.

The FUD is in full swing I see.

You'll also get better graphics settings and more stable frame rates on a title by title basis. Plus 1080p streaming (vs 720p) and a larger hdd if you didn't have one already. I'd say that's worth an extra $100 for new customers but not worth the $2-400 for current ones like myself.

So let's buy ourselves these glorious LG OLED B6 4K HDR screens then!!   I want one so bad. https://www.wired.com/2016/05/lgs-new-hdr-oled-tvs-arent-cheap-theyre-worth/

Deal, you buy the LG, I'll get the new Loewe OLED TV (same specs, same price, better looks imo): http://www.loewe.tv/v2/en/bild7#opener

Console wars are so 20th century, let's start the TV wars.

Amazon seems to be making people nervous.

I bet a lot of games will run at 900p on PS4 to ensure stable framerate and so real 1080p with stable fps will only happen on PS4Pro. It's not worth me upgrading, but for a first time PS4 buyer I would think getting the Pro is the better choice for not an outrageously higher price tag.

Sony said it will be a per game basis thing.

So please, can you keep your FUD and assumptions to yourself until we have actual games to base anything on?

1080p tv users, you might not want to buy Ps4 Pro unless you care alot about AA and nothing else wich, let´s say is the least of our problems, so i was watching a video and seems like the only thing Ps4 Pro 1080p tv user will benefit is from better IQ and nothing more, the game will just super sample the 4K image to your 1080p tv and nothing more, same shadows as on Ps4, same everything, only better IQ, is that worth 400$$? Hell no. 

Now what you want is better FPS, better shadows, better lighting, better textures, better this better that, you will not get any of that! 

This is a terrible decision by game studios and guys believe me this will be the norm because i watch some first party Sony devs saying this, you can check for yourself in the following links:

Edit: i´m missing one link. 

I assume you mean upgrading and not new purchasers?

If not I don't follow your logic.

I don't own a PS4, so I think a PS4 Pro would be best for me (even though I have a 1080p monitor I use for console gaming). Then again, I haven't really made my mind up on which PS4 I should get yet.
