Yeah, decent connection. Hardly you need more bandwidth than a majority of the US households currently have to realize it that streaming level. That means a true constant, non-fluctuating bare minimum speed of at least 15.6Mps and of course not sharing with others. Plus, as they do more compression more to get those sizes down it means more and a lost to that vibrancy of 4K. Those streamed 4K movies (encoding from eyeIO - that both Netflix and Sony are using) is based on 40-60GB of data. ...

"Next Gen gaming will live on....think for a sec....
When ps5 arrives, it won't be backwards compatible."
I did think for a sec. If Sony does hamstring their next console (PS5) to not play current PS4 games then it will a pure money grab from Sony and nothing more. Do you think they are going to change from x86 architecture? Do you think they are going toss out their modified FreeBSD OS in the PS5? Those are the reasons fr...
They didn't say that. That is why this presentation was so bad from a messaging point. They got bogged down in techno-speak and spoke too much about HDR. They tried to blur the lines and in the meantime people seemed just as confused now as before the event. Well accept for pricing. The Pro does not play 4K games. It will enhance your 4K experience (upscale and HDR) of the 1080 games. That increased power of the PS4 Pro will be realized in the 1080 spectrum in better graphic renderi...
Yeah, I felt the same way. You know if the specs were better from all the rumors they would have made sure the media knew it. As for the presentation: the whole thing was so "wham bam - 1,2,3 - thank you mam." No PSVR, no PS4 Pro specs, no talk about the changes in the controller (does it have a better battery life, what about the bar?) But, hey that price PS4 Pro $399 is pretty good ($50 less than I thought it be). A little shocked about the PS4 price at $299 ($50 more than I ...
Yes you need an HDR capable device and definitely not an HD labeled device from 2010. It requires both ends to use HDR (TV and the console). In fact HDR is pretty useless unless the media, movies & games, are specifically encoded to take advantage of how to display those contrast levels.
Edit: HDR TV technology is only available on 4K screens
First there never was a rumor about DDR3 (nothing that I remember), it was always rumored to 4GB of GDDR5. Secondly, there is nothing really too complex about adding an additional 4GB of standard (yup nothing special to see here GDDR5). Sony lucked out that the price suddenly drop quite a bit for GDDR5 in 2013 making it feasible for them to do so. Otherwise if those prices didn't drop Sony would have either kept the PS4 with 4GB or (Sony not being a charity) would have passed along ...
Brainwashed? How? You haven't been around here very long have you? Sorry, but N4G routinely approves crappy Forbes articles targeting Xbox One as well. It is not about being brainwashed, it about the dollar signs N4G see from ads.
@Rhythmattic You need go back to school for some reading comprehension lessons. You literally (that means exactly) went on some tear and complained he was stating as something as a fact and not an opinion. But, he actually did the opposite of what you complained about. He wrote "I think..." which means he believes and clearly means it his opinion Where do he says "We all", "everyone" or tries to state his belief as universal truth"? How is some one wi...
True but that does not invalidate a patent. First, they may seem generic today in their description and not unique but, when they were created perhaps they were the first to do it and very unique in the process. Secondly, there are a lot patents that have similar descriptive language in their titles but each reach the same answer differently. For example, if Rumpelstiltskin's patent to turn straw into gold was valid. You could only be sued if your straw to gold process used his withou...
Is that how they made that awful Ghostbusters reboot? Sony had their pulse on the types of content that would interest us the most. God help us all. :)
Maybe Hirai should pass some of that PS4 "finger on the pulse" knowledge over to some of their other divisions, because that golden touch is definitely missing at the rest of the company.
Why is this news? If he came out and said "PS4 sucks balls" then we have a story. Seriously he better praise the PS4 it has kept Sony afloat these past few years with its ever growing contribution to their bottom line (no thanks to their profit sucking electronics or film divisions).
@Ysmir6723 "350$ pc with a r9 290 8gb,i5 4570 and 8 gb ram,far faster than a console and with lots of uses." Of course you did I call BS. Unless you gave him some used or refurbished parts (which really don't count as new) and still you are missing things. Or even worst you gave him low quality parts that will make his entrance into the PC master race a short visit.
Simple breakdown on the lowest (give or take $10 each way).I chose companies with some re...
If true, that would the most interesting thing about the Neo. It turns out Sony has discovered a worm hole that has allowed them to travel to the future at a fix point in time. The displacement in time is exactly 14 months 2 days from now in small town in Norway called Kongsvinger. Using that worm hole they go into the future where they build this Neo from chips that do not exist today. Then send the Neo back to through the worm hole. Even though people keep telling us how expensive the S...
I played this game on a friends PS4 and like I knew from it's description would not care for it. And I was right. It is was fine just not my type of game. Heck I disliked it for the same reason I got bored with parts of Witcher 3 or any open world. I just am not the type of person that likes to wander around all day, pick at plants, and kill the same random creatures over and over and such; albeit there is more action those games they still can get pretty boring for me as well. But, ...
Why would it be cheaper? It may be cheaper but not that cheap. Remember they will have to drop the OG to this consoles price (maybe throw in a few games or something). They idea is to get rid of the current PS4 stock and replace it with this (hopefully more profitable) console. Demand for the current PS4 will plummet if the only real difference between these two devices is $100+ price tag. If this device is $199 that is $150 less than the list price of current PS4. Who in their right m...
