The boost increase as seen from the Neo is not significant compared to the original PS4.
The GPU is just 2.3x more powerful overall. Using Next-gen Polaris AMD graphics engine.

The real difference here is when you are comparing it to the Xbox One.
The GPU is 3.45x more powerful with Ram speed over 3x faster which is significant when you want to use the home screen. The PS4 is significantly smoother already and the Neo will give 500mb of Ram more for devs to using because of the speed increase.

For someone who owns an Xbox One, it already feels like a next-gen system in comparison.
But at the same time, Microsoft can't just come out with a more powerful Xbox than the PS4 Neo because that will dwaft the OG Xbox One even more so than it already is. And without the install base Sony already has...
It's like Damn if you do, damn if you don't .

@rainslacker its not that no one is listening to you; most of us understand that it will be a hiccup, but most of us do not look at it as a major problem. In all honesty these devs should be seasoned enough to know what to do. Plus I am sure Sony and MS have already thought about this and provided the proper codecs or upgrades to the dev kits to allow this change / feature.

OT: My biggest problem with these articles is that some are bringing their own perspective into the articles without looking at the facts. I understand some have concern but it shouldn't be as trivial if you read the leaked information.

I appreciate the reasoned response. Would like to see more of it.

I understand what your saying, and it's not so much people who think it's not as much of an issue as I posit, more that some people, if not quite a few, completely ignore any and all negative connotations to the new stuff as if it won't be a problem or issue at all.

Even I can admit that I may be making it more of an issue that it needs to be, or will be, but I tend to think long term on stuff like this, and use my experience in the industry, as well as my observations of it as a consumer of the industry to form conclusions on what could be. Sometimes those conclusions are not good, and I express them because I feel that those things should be said, and people should consider them. I don't expect them to accept them outright, but nothing I've put forth is unworthy of consideration.

From my experience, the long term negative results often do come to pass, but by the time they come to pass, most people are accostomed to them, so they are less noticable.

I'm also sure MS and Sony would have considered all the things I've said, and I would hope they would account for them. They may be forced to account for them, because it isn't as easy as it sounds to just release something like this and get developers and publishers on board. It will require more resources, which devs will resist, and resources cost money, which means publishers will resist.

I'm also sure tools will be made available to facilitate the changes. It will be almost necessary, because despite many arguments, it's not like PC programming, and tools will be necessary. Being someone who's job is to make these kinds of tools, not having gotten anything to actually know what to make leads me more to believe it may not be a thing, or at least not something for the near future.

Anyhow, to address your OT part.

It's not really trivial, but I'm going to be honest. The "facts" released with the leaked document are some of the most trivial facts that would be needed to form a solid conclusion on what the new hardware will mean both for developers and consumers. In fact, some of the things they list make me wonder why they would even bother, and none of it reads like anything official. I understand they're transcribing facts as they interprit them apparently, and we aren't getting verbatim quotes from the documents, but the terminology used, and the lack of important technical details seems rather suspicious.

This makes it really hard to talk about, because there just isn't enough info there to form a solid conclusion as a dev, and I'll be honest, I can't see why anyone would be willing to drop $400+ on something like this with so many important facts unknown and not explained.

Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-

Timezone thing maybe.... RIP

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.

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.
