We will see

ninsigma3632d ago

We've already seen it...since they first showed their vr games.

Filmicfps3632d ago

I mean WE will see. I haven't tried VR. Can you say it offers a 'first class experience'?

Genuine-User3632d ago

I can't believe people are still doubting PlayStation VR after all the media coverage available online.

game4funz3631d ago

Yea.. And we continue to see it on the floor.... As in
The throw up.

Yeah obviously it works good because after thousands of previews, we would know by now.
What I believe is that Neo offers a better experience but, I'm not pressed to get a Neo right away knowing that I have a console that can play VR just fine.

fanboysmackdown3632d ago

Yeah obviously you're another knowitall.

Gol3m3632d ago

^What's with all the children on n4g?

More fitting ;D

IRetrouk3632d ago

We will, everything from early reports to in depth hands ons have said its great, plus the videos have done a good job of showing what to expect.

dcbronco3632d ago

And we've had Sony say it won't be on the same level as the competition.

Angeljuice3632d ago

Don't be drawn in. PSVR on PS4 has been used by many thousands of people and there are no reports of poor performance (even the determined can only attack the content, not the hardware).
PSVR was specifically designed for PS4, not Neo. It works perfectly well on a PS4 as everyone who has used it has testified.

joeorc3631d ago (Edited 3631d ago )

@dcbronco
No , Sony stated it was not as robust in hardware but its experience. With in VR will be on the same level as the higher end hardware.

Reason being is PSVR has just as much refresh rate , and nesr the very same persistence of presence as the other big tethered VR headsets.

The other headsets have a higher resolution, but all of them are HD VR headsets. All three have motion control wireless wand controllers.

So the experience. Will pretty much be on the same level with all three.

And the only one out of the three that has the highest level or persistent. Presence is Vive, but for the majority of games its going to be the same experience across all three until the vive gets enough base consumers to make those exclusives.

Other than that not many have an entire room to use for Vive's persistent. Presence full requirements needed to use all of its persistent presence.

design..its awesome, but price and space requirements are just not as practical. For that function just yet.

jcnba283632d ago

IKR? Neo will obviously be better optimized for VR so this statement from Sony really makes them look stupid.

Gol3m3632d ago (Edited 3632d ago )

Condemnedman3632d ago

why are they doing the neo then?

johndoe112113632d ago

When did they ever say the neo was for vr?

joeorc3632d ago (Edited 3631d ago )

For Hometheatre market mainly..
Here Is the main point many are overlooking.
1st the Neo has spent capital & been R&D out..in other words Andrew House already stated the

Neo will be sold at👉 profit,👈
Already taken and pointed out in Sony's recent financials.

And yes many may ask will the xbox Scorpio be the most powerful console built yet..right now?
👉 Yes👈

The Neo was being made to take advantage of Playstation Vue

👉 cable services cord cutting👈

This New PS4 Neo , is being made to be centric in 4K Home 🏠 theatre 🎦 setup's.

PlayStation. vue in this case Is more important for its ability to allow cord cutters the best solution to cut ✂ their cable bill.
Sony target for PS4 is gaming 1st, and they have kept that Promise.

While the new PS4 Neo will not have exclusives, its main Exclusive is the best cord cutting , streaming content box you can get that allows Apps, AAA Gaming, And gaming centric functions that will be a very serious. Challenger to Roku, Amazon, Chromecast in its ability to offer the consumer not only services such as streaming video..but real live Over the internet TV..that is as close to cable without high fees. Top it off it already has DVR functionality to boot. Key point is👉 all PS4's👈 have access to Playstation Vue, as well as the
👉 PS3👈 also has Access to Playstation Vue.

Are you getting it now ❔
The PS4.Neo as a cord cutting streaming cable TV 📺 Box will not only still provide top AAA gaming out of the same box for a great entry price point.
But Even gamers PS3 still can be used as a internet streaming Live Cable TV 📺 Box..key point being 👉 LiveTV👈

Will it be as powerful as the Xbox Scorpio...👉 no👈, is that its main purpose 👉 no👈, some may say that's just dropping the ball, could it be seen as such

👉 yes of course👈.

But take note...its being set to be sold by Sony as a more higher end not only game console, but also a higher end cord cutting cable tv 📺 box..but here is the big point..
Sony is not going to go out of its way to marketing cable Tv...
It does not have to...why?

Because the Tv 📺. Commercials. Running for Playstation vue already say the PS4 Runs Playstation Vue.
The Neo us a Playstation Vue box.

Just like the PS3 last cycle in 2009, Sony was selling its playstation in Hometheatre section of electronic stores.

Unlike Microsoft's promise. To have a cord cutting 📺 alternative, Sony actually. Delivered it..

Aloy-Boyfriend3632d ago

Because why not more power to the players?

Angeljuice3632d ago

The Neo is for 4k gaming and higher frame rates. For those who want to make the most of their 4k TV.

You are an absolute idiot if you believe that Sony are going to piss off 50 million PS4 users by releasing a peripheral for it that doesn't work.

Aenea3631d ago

Why is MS doing the Scorpio?

Ohh, right, just to support the Rift!

Or is it meant to do more?

And just because the X1 is not capable of VR does not mean the PS4 is not either, don't forget that Sony made their own VR headset especially for the PS4!

The Neo will improve visuals, yes, also on VR games, but they still need to be able to run on the PS4...

PSVR has been tested and demoed by thousands of people since last year and the vast majority of reviews by journalists and average gamers alike have been very positive. Unless sony has some unlimited supply of gold that we don't know about and have paid off every single person who ever tried vr. then your "we will see" comment comes across as trollish.

Brandnewfan6103632d ago

Why would they launch Playstation vr before the neo if this wasn't true.

Aenea3632d ago

define "first class experience"

And people with the Neo comments, PSVR works perfectly fine with the PS4, all the Neo will do is improve graphics and framerates for any and all game that wants to, yes, this will include VR games but they will work just fine on the PS4.

it's like believing the Neo is needed to get a first class console experience for non-VR games!

Better be as I've already pre ordered it. If it is mediocre and the Neo is not out this year to enhanced it's VR experience, I'll be upset.

jcnba283632d ago

I'd wait for Neo if I were you.

killer_goat3632d ago

Nonsense. It'll work on ps4 just fine

Genuine-User3632d ago

@Rookie

"Better be as I've already pre ordered it. If it is mediocre and the Neo is not out this year to enhanced it's VR experience, I'll be upset."

You're telling me that you have pre-ordered a $400 peripheral regardless of whether you like it not. You weren't talking about an upgraded console in your initial concerns followed by unusual enthusiasm.

fllysurfer3632d ago

I would tone down expectations.

bouzebbal3632d ago (Edited 3632d ago )

If Neo enhances VR experience (and that will likely be the case) doesn't mean it's mediocre in first place.

Aenea3631d ago

Just like that the Neo will enhance non-VR experiences over the PS4...

fllysurfer3632d ago (Edited 3632d ago )

“1st class” as in an infants classroom?

Honestly, this is in it´s infancy. Games are just starting to explore how VR should be done.

The PS4 cant handle heavy VR graphics since it´s rendering two screens at a high fps.

We have seen the games, even if we haven´t played them. Golem, BattleZone, etc.
Graphics are really toned down. It can be fun but calling lets be realistic about it please.

killer_goat3632d ago

Resident evil 7 looks good graphically and it's on VR.

game4funz3631d ago

Yes... It's also causing vomit

xX-oldboy-Xx3632d ago

Resident Evil 7 looks great, Farpoint looks great, Robinson looks great and Rigs looks great. I even think Battlezone ain't no chump either.

Errorist763632d ago (Edited 3632d ago )

Have you seen Resident Evil?! Or Farpoint?! Or Rigs?! Or Robinson?! This comment is laughable.

Genuine-User3632d ago (Edited 3632d ago )

@fllysurfer

"We have seen the games, even if we haven´t played them. Golem, BattleZone, etc."

Clearly you have only seen a selected few.

Take a look at:

Robinson
Eve Valkyrie
Resident Evil 7
London Heist
Riggs
Here they Lie

Aenea3631d ago

The number of pixels rendered is the same as a full 1080p display...

Granted, the best looking games on the PS4 run at 30fps and that is totally not usable for VR, so yes, we won't see games with Uncharted 4 graphics on PSVR running on a regular PS4...

fllysurfer3631d ago (Edited 3631d ago )

Exactly. We should be grounded about this, expectations need to be realistic. The graphics wont.

joeorc3631d ago

Exactly! But the point is they will still look great, they are in fact HD, so no SD resolution games..and even though more of them are about slightly better in graphics to a PS3 Game, hey I do not know about you..

But GTA V was pretty great looking as a game.😉

Already Riggs looks and plays as is eve Valk.. Both demo's played Awesomely..

MilkMan3632d ago

and this is how you communicate with your install base. Not offer two consoles, each one progressively better than the last. THEN say, all software will be compatible between each. LOL.
Anyway, Thank you, SONY. You laid my concerns to rest. Let's see that new console in the future after this cycle is winding down.

Kurisu3632d ago

To be fair to Microsoft they have been pretty clear on their vision for the different consoles.

On topic, I'm glad that the PSVR will work fine with the standard PS4, but why wouldn't it? It's releasing for the current user base after all.

Sweendog0073632d ago (Edited 3631d ago )

Can fans boy stop their stupidity.

Ps4 neo and I quote ' ps4 neo will offer higher graphics and allow people to experience better games in higher graphics '

Ms ' we are bulding a console to give people choice in how to play from the casual gamers to high end users who want the best in graphics '

They are both re branding their markets , it's the same thing , only difference is ms have added Windows 10 in the Xbox brand ... Not all PCs run Windows 10 or have windows store , not all PC gamers use windows store to buy games

Both ms and PlayStation are re branding their games , aiming at causal users , and VR users and people who care about graphics ...

It's obvious it's there in black and white , fan boy stuff is stupid now

For everyone who does not think ps4 are going in the same direction as ms in making a console that is aimed at higher graphic audience and having a choice of system , while reaming under the Xbox brand and network please take the time to read this

http://www.thecountrycaller...

The life cycle of games console exists but people want choice in how they play , in 8 years time there will be a ps5 or Xbox 2 but until then they need consoles that can adapt to high end users

So for everyone who is disliking my comment think that article which is from Sony explains not only why ps4 neo is being made but the future of gaming is about choice ... Those who want VR play VR , those who want to watch 4K content but don't play games that much , you can do that , those who want 4K graphics then you get that choice too

Ms and Sony are just re branding their name in a way that gives more choice , not the consoles themselves , no one is being forced to move onto a ps5 or using VR or using a camera or touch controls or keyboard or mouse , you the players decideds

NotAFanboyyy3631d ago

You aren't serious are you? What the hell do you call the Neo? Sony literally just said the same thing, explaining Neo will not have its own exclusives and all games released on Neo will also run on the original PS4.

Sweendog0073631d ago

The re branding is not the games it's the brand think about it

Sony is a brand , psn network is connected to Sony PlayStation ps4 will have a basic model , VR and high end model ... All games that are brought up will be under PlayStation 4 name and work on the console you pic

The Consles themselves will be re branded to aim and Diffrent usersers not the dics or format ... It's not hard to understand

Microsoft are doing the same , 3 consoles , under the Xbox brand , and Windows 10 is now under the Xbox brand all connected by Xbox live

No one is being forced to by a Xbox one 4K dic to play on Xbox Scorpio or ps4 neo dics to play on neo it's still PlayStation 4 dics Xbox one dics

http://www.thecountrycaller...

That will help explain what song are doing and Microsoft , it's about choice what graphics you want what games you want on want machine and when you can afford to upgrade ... There will be a ps5 in say 8 years time , or maybe just knock the basic model off and make a new more powerful one and still sell one game to all customers under the PlayStation banner and Xbox banner

dcbronco3632d ago

Sony already said it wouldn't be as good on the regular PS4. This is another attempt to keep potential customers from looking at what AMD is offering. The 470 specs are VR ready at $150. It's looks like a 4 teraflop machine can be had for very close to $400. If you already have a decent machine VR is just $750 now.

sangoku_d3632d ago

sony never that just some div somewhere once

joeorc3632d ago (Edited 3632d ago )

You and others still do not freaking get it..its not about how much better Neo will run PSVR..its about

Again Andrew House 🏠. Stated its being able to take advantages of functions in Playstation Vue, and software & Services..being able to run 🏃 better VR is a given.

What's not a given is Having the your PC 💻. Be a cable cutting Box that Has as good as a Live TV 📺 & DVR functionality built right in without having to again buy more components. And you still will not have a console with cord cutting capability like Playstation Vue outside of a Playstation!

The gamers such as yourself still trying to sell that Wondows OS PC 💻. Taking over the living room Dream is just that a dream.

Microsoft has been trying in one shape or form for over the past 38➕ years and still has not been able to get the job done.

This is not son fanboy fear response in because of some Microsoft actions , what I am simply pointing out the truth
❌⬜🔴🔺 , is just a more well established brand world wide for computer entertainment. In the living room. One of which Microsoft has yet to ever obtain for a world wide market for living room entertainment like Nintendo & Sony already Has

And with

Google, Amazon, Samsung,LG,Sony, Nintendo,Roku,Apple,

Microsoft's dream of taking over the living room is just that much harder. If ever they can that is.

Sweendog0073631d ago

Sony are doing the same

http://www.thecountrycaller...

It's bloody simple to understand

1) PlayStation - you want a high end console there you go , neo , you want VR there you go , you don't care about that stuff there you go PlayStation 4. All games work across the border.

2) Microsoft - you want a high end console there you go, Scorpio , you want 4K content but causal play games there you go Xbox one s , and you don't care about any of that there you go Xbox one

3) PC gaming , not all PC gammers use Windows 10 , not all gammers use Xbox store ... They use steam , gears is not coming to steam is Windows 10. PC gammers want to play halo but don't want a console there you go use Windows 10

All connected by Xbox live ... The brand Xbox is the exclusive platform meaning Xbox live and anything that is house under that brand

No one is trying to take over the living room or PC , they are trying to give people choice to play games they want how they want , even tv is changing , people watch tv on the go now or on demand or through the Internet , downloading shows and movies ... No one wants to be forced into staying in at 7 at night to watch a show because you can't get it again

It's not about taking over a certain place in the market it's about choice even the boxes like apple , Samsung and Amazon google chrome crazy it's choice and Diffrent ways to watch what you want when you want how you want.

Consoles are doing the same , people like everything connected to the one thing , so give them that choice , stop forcing people into playing a game a certain way , wii remotes , Kinect camera , Sony camera , wii u screen , 3D , VR , 4K , HD ... It's choice people want even in gaming , PC gamers have a choice on how to play games and what system and style , steam windows 10 mac ... Consoles never had that choice , 7 years playing games with a 360 controller and added gimmicks or PlayStation controller ... All that changed was the colour

So everybody stop acting like children and my dads bigger than your dads stuff no one cares about because plays games for different reasons and Diffrent ways that they enjoy

Are a bunch of games, some of which are nearly 10 years old not one being from 2026. Barely one from 2025.

I do like the irony of the closing paragraph though, "Why VR Adventure Games are Thriving". Really buddy?

mooreneco2145d ago

That’s because it’s his favourite VR adventure games thus far, a great game always a great game regardless of age - Half life 2/ Ocarina of time - are old but still among the greatest games of all time. The irony of it is several are from last year, depending on platform, have you even played VR?
