PS Neo: Is This A Bad Idea?

No it's to take down the NX matrix style.

I think it's that and something else.....

People constant whine about how underpowered these consoles are and now Sony and MS are trying to fix that and catching hell for it.

To be honest it's all in how Sony handles it, best case scenario would be they announce the NEO for 399 at e3 and a ps4 price drop down to 299.

The NEO can handle all games at 1080p 60fps with a 1tb HD and what if it had backwards compatibility with ps2 and ps3 games and other cool features.

That would be a win for literally everybody, I think BC was a great thing when MS did it and seeing as though the ps3 had a much larger catalog of games it would be a great move.

Hell they could even do a bundle with a NEO, 2 controllers, 2 games, a camera and PSVR for 999$

Pongwater3685d ago

Releasing a new console doesn't fix how underpowered the old ones were. It's just releasing a new console.

I'll be shocked if PS3 BC suddenly happens, given the rumored specs we've seen. If 1080p 60fps becomes standard that's cool, but it will negatively impact early PSVR sales and vanilla PS4 sales will drop off a cliff right after the announcement. I think it's a bad business move by Sony if they do this. It would make much more sense if it was some kind of plug in upgrade for $100 or even $150, but I don't know if that's even possible.

Omg how many more posts about this rumor! If this thing isn't true this will be one of the biggest false rumours ever!

Vitalogy3685d ago

I guess people like rumors, I mean they keep approving these articles don't they? *sigh*

Kingthrash3603685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

No.
Just like xbox one elite wasnt.
Xbox elite was an upgraded xboxone that came with the elite controller and 1tb hard drive for a higher price.
No prob...neo is a ps4 with an upgraded gpu and ram or what not and it get this much bad press?
Why?
The wiiu too, I just don't understand this. It's dumb..

remixx1163685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

Come on thrash people love to hate on what's popular, you know that.

Think about it, every little move sony makes is spun into a negative, announcing PSVR's price, street fighter 5, from software with bloodborne, NEO.

Sony is absolutely killing it this year and they still can't catch a break while MS and ninty are barely dropping nickels and yet they arent getting poked with the angry stick.....well to be honest Nintendo doesn't need to be poked anymore than they have been this gen.

tmisellati3685d ago

of course it is bad idea...

ps5fanboy3685d ago

You don't reak of sarcasm..........honest......l y.....

If the devs are complaining how is it good?

Do PS4 owners really think that devs will continue to make a version for PS4? PS4 will be phased out in favor of Neo.

LetoAtreides823685d ago

If Sony wants to the devs would have no choice but to include PS4 support. I doubt many devs would choose to refuse to publish for the PS4 and Neo just because they don't want to make their game compatible with the PS4. Besides it should be easy to make games compatible with the PS4, just make the PS4 version the base game and then focus on improvements for the Neo version. Don't they do something similar now when they make cross-platform games for the Xbox One and the PS4?

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot26d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose27d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE27d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername26d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy27d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde27d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8627d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8627d ago (Edited 27d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300027d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle27d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7727d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
