Its going to be at least 3 maybe 4 years before I'm even going to consider a 4k TV. And I'm sure I'm not alone.
No need to raise the price of the console $100-$150 for something the majority won't even use. In 3 or 4 years when the next PlayStation upgrade rolls along, then sure it will make perfect sense to include a UHD drive as by that time 4k adoption will be at a good level. But that time is not now. Sony made the best possible choice for the consum...
The vast majority of ps4 gamers don't even have 4k TVs yet, so a UHD drive would have unessesarily added significant cost to the console and most people would never even have a use for the UHD support.
In reality, Sony was putting the majority of their customers first. But it does reflect negatively on them because the console doesn't look as good "on paper". I give them props for that.
Well when everybody who owns an xb1 goes out and buys the slim, sales will be pretty decent. But the amount of unique gamers has probably bearly gone up at all.
At least Sony has the vast majority of their fans in mind by not forcing most of us to spend $100-$150 more for a UHD drive which will only benifit the tiny percentage of people with 4k TVs. I am personally greatful for that as I'm not getting a 4k TV for at least several more years.
You know the thing of it is, Sony had to make a tough choice, look good on paper by having a UHD drive but end up charging $100-$150 more for the console. Or not have a UHD drive and be able to offer the console for much cheaper.
In reality they made the better choice, as no doubt the vast majority of PS4 owners, and those looking to buy one, aren't going to have a 4k TV. So adding such a hefty cost to the console for a UHD drive, in which only a small percentage of t...
I only just upgraded to 1080p this year, was rocking a pretty darn good looking 720p Samsung from 2007 happily. 4k isn't even on the horizon for me. So ps4pro is going to be just fine for me not having a UHD drive. And I'm going to guess it will be fine with 95% of everybody else who still don't have 4k TVs.
Well, it may not have the power of the Scorpio, but releasing a year ealiar gives Sony a huge lead in sales. I know I'll definitely be picking one up and I'm passing on the Scorpio since I already have a much more powerful pc.
Maybe next time watch more than just the teaser trailer and hype alone before buying a game.
Just a thought.
Sorry Scat, no plans for XB1 yet. So it will be many many many patches before you can know if it is boring or not.
Good thinking about the sentinal part. As I've resorted to blowing them out of the sky, but if the terrain is anything but barren, finding the bird is next to impossible.
"It is now easier to scan flying animals". Nice! It was like a mini game of controller stick dexterity trying to get some of those dang birds to scan. Reminded me a bit like those drinking mini games in watch dogs.
These are some good fixes though, almost all if the main issues I had were listed as fixed. I'm a bit preoccupied with deus ex MD right now, but I look forward to jumping back to NMS when I finish (might be a few months). Which should be much mo...
I got in on the second batch with Amazon, haven't gotten an email about a different release date yet.
The thing is, part of their biggest claim to fame about having the largest game ever created was that they did it all with a team of around 12 people. Heck, not even a week after release Sean had said they had hired on a ton of QA to help with the game, its almost as if this was the plan all along so they could play off the small team aspect for release. Then after the game released, and sold past a certain point, that they would finally get the numbers on their team to truly start fleshin...
I'll buy physical disks for as long as I can. Its bad enough buying a new game on disk only to need a 10GB patch on day 1, which basically means hours and hours of downloading before I can play the game.
I did my research on the game before buying and it is everything I hoped for plus some.
If a gamer goes the route of ps4 ->Neo -> Scorpio then those numbers are correct. However if somebody only owns a xb1 and goes to the Scorpio, then it would be what, a 350% increase?
Goalposts will shift, and pixels will be the only thing that matters if Scorpio ends up being more powerful. You can count on that.
I was talking about the ps4 having the exclusive advantage...
Its really puts things into perspective when you realize the price of the PS4Pro is the same as the XB1 Slim, yet the Pro is almost 3 times as powerful. Damn Sony! Well done!
Sure things will be different when Scorpio releases late 2017, especially if it can nail a $500 price point for the power, but until that time Sony is going to be ultra dominating the market and soaking up even more of the gaming fan base.
