This isn't Walmart dictating to companies what they are going to sell and how much they can sell it for. It is an agreement between the two. Devs create the product and decide which platform they want to release it on. The platform owners allow/deny content or sometimes actually ask devs to bring their content to the platform. Devs have the leverage at the end of the day due to their being competition, so Sony won't be able to bully them into eating costs to support a feature that sat...
so no 4k bluray player in the touted 4k console that plays 4k games and streams 4k content until at least 2019.
smart move, no seriously.
smart move not offering something your competitor does at a cheaper price today.
smart move forgetting your base contains moderate amount of videophiles.
smart move neglecting those very same videophiles who have always payed extra for the bells and whistles.
smart move leaving 4k out in your premium console just...
my question is why would a dev ever patch their old game for hdr. If sony is asking them to patch, but they have to eat the cost, theyll likely say go f yourselves.
when it comes to 4k br you cant have a software update for a hardware problem.
sony will not have a 4k bluray player until 2018 at the earliest vs xbox having 4k bluray today. movies will come, sony should have future proofed themselves. its going to be a rough 2 years.
So on the "sony side of things" (they can have that one for free) game consoles and video formats have always gone hand in hand. Even if my expectaions were incorrect, the target audience for this console are videophiles. Its already back-lashing against them all over blogs and forums. You cant go 5 posts in without someone mentioning theirs no 4k bluray and it completely derails the forum. It is a bigger deal than the people on n4g think. Because the perception is that Sony is blur...
If ms (or Sony) was able to package up their Game os and sell it as a stand alone or as a dual boot option with Windows 10 I think it would remove the need for consoles all together. To me that seems like where we are heading. The new ps or Xbox would literally be pcs similar to Alienware alphas
I agree. And I said what I am about to say in a different post as well. UHD is about to take off. The fact that sony will not have a uhd player intergrated in their game system until earliest 2018 (thats earliest) is a complete megaton of a mistake. This christmas will prove how much of a mishap this all is when little johnnys mother goes to the store, sees an Xbox one s next to a slim and pro, and asks the clerk whats the difference between them. It will go something like this
You guys have the dumbest argument ive heard. Its so obvious yet you want to put blinders on because you hate to admit sony made a mistake. The Ps4 pro is being marketed as the premium 4k device. 4k was thrown around throughout the meeting. It supports 4k gaming, 4k streaming, but not 4k bluray? if that makes sense to you then i can tell you were the people who supported hd-dvd and said it didnt matter once the format landed on its ass. The price should have been upped $100 and it wouldnt mak...
do you even know what youre saying? "Stop complaining about 4k uhd, I bought my past 2 consoles for dvd/bluray" youre contradicting yourself lmfao...
because this is an enthusiasts machine. streaming content is compressed. This machine is supposedly geared towards people who have invested in 4k tvs. Physical disks have and will always provide the sharpest picture quality available, which is even more apparent with a uhd player compared to 4k streaming. you can research that on your own if you want to fact check, you will see the rave reviews regarding how clear uhd physical media is. This is an absolute deal breaker for the niche public wh...
but it still has no games.
lol such a dumb comment. Then why include a bluray drive that plays movies at all? Might as well make it play games only, or remove it entirely so you can only download games. This whole "games first" notion is getting out of hand. The friggin x crap s even has it and its a weaker console for less money! you cannot justify this move.
I am a ps fanboy, I know I am. I cannot support this half assed console. Im keeping my hdr enhanced ps4 and buying a panasonic uhd p...
You don't create a pro console, which is supposed to be the premium console, advertise 4K and hdr and add a bluray drive that doesn't do 4K. It's completely asinine and you can't tell me any different. Stop putting blinders on and call it what it is. A 4K console that doesnt play 4K movies is retarded. There is no point in buying it esp since hdr will be supported on current consoles.
If the Xbox s included it, the pro sure as hell should have included it, e...
It doesnt matter how long ive played it. I could have beaten the game, found none of the features advertised and demand my money back. Likewise, I can (and have) pause the game, turn my tv off only to come back to it 2-3 hours later. The amount of time played doesn't equate to amount of experience fulfilled.
Lots of times i kept playing hoping something in the game would grab me, I just needed to boost to harder to reach star systems. It wasnt until i saw the videos of...
This is a first for me that I'm already growing tired of the intro music for a FF game.
haha, I remember wanting to play this game soooo bad, but my video card was a voodoo 3 pos and it would play it at like 5-10 fps (if am remembering correctly). When I was actually able to play it I was underwhelmed.
LOL whaat the fack is wrong with u man??? Wow...you really just said wait till the end of next year to play a game that will be out this year because it will look better on a mystery console? LMFAO are you serious right now??? Guy, you'll be the only person sitting on the side lines for a year and a half to play an old ass game based on a E3 propaganda video. I'll let you in on a little secret. No body knows this. Shhhh... you ready? ok... here it goes... Buy a PC for god sakes, it...
"Go buy a bluray player" Sony's is Don Mattrick response.
