Support NeoGAF

[BocoDragon]

The end of "buy it and you're set" consoles as we know it.

I hate this. If I wanted to join the technological power rat race I'd just get into PC gaming.

 

[eyeball_kid]

Memory bandwidth jumped from 17GB/s to 218GB/s? What architectural change would cause such a massive increase?

damn RIP the dream and thread.

 

[StoveOven]

I should hope that they have a trade-in program.

I'm sure Gamestop and the like will have a special trade-in program. And even if they don't, you can still do a regular trade-in for your current PS4

 

[LiK]

the leaks keep on coming

 

[xevis]

With more than 36 million PS4s already sold, I wonder which developer will be crazy enough to release a NEO only game? Sounds like New 3DS all over again.

Feel bad for all of you that will stick with the bad graphics ps4

NEO MASTER RACE

WE DID IT

 

[StrongBlackVine]

A mess tbh, for many reasons outlined by users on here and devs.

If it's true then meh. Will just move full time to PC gaming.

Bye.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

Shit, this is fine with me. Pretty much a 25% improvement on CPU, and 2.5x improvement for GPU with a huge 12+x leap in memory? Is the PS4 even memory constrained with its GDDR5?

It's definitely not a PS4.5 but a PS4.25

 

[[Agent]ZeroNine]

I'm all the way in. Was planning on getting a PS4 slim anyway. Happy PS4 users who don't upgrade still get the games we do. Also, Horizon on "Neo" mode...

the bad graphics ps4

is this what we're doing now?

 

[iNvid02]

I should hope that they have a trade-in program.

they will, something like trade in 399 of your dollars for a neo

 

[DedValve]

Can't wait for 60fps Bloodborne.

IF this happens then day fucking 0.

Same for Dark Souls 3.

Then I just need a Demons/DK1 remaster and I can die happy.

 

[MrCunningham]

The Sony NeoGAF.

It's all coming together:

 

[Zambayoshi]

For the PC users out there, how much of a difference would these new specs make to performance and graphics?

 

[Ephemeris]

now announce that Last Guardian will be exclusive to the PS4 Neo and watch the internet burst into flames

The article said:

Sony seems committed to keeping the NEO and the original PS4 player bases connected. As such, there will be no NEO-only games, and Sony will not let developers separate NEO users from original PS4 players while playing on PSN.

No you won't.

The end of "buy it and you're set" consoles as we know it.

But PC gaming is hard! You have to download like... a driver!

It will really suck tho. Even playing field - gone. Buy it at launch and know you're set til the end of the gen - gone. Not to mention the fact that devs are barely given time to optimise for the current platform set-up - imagine Ubi trying to launch Unity across 4 configs + PC when they failed to optimise for 2 + PC.

No you won't.

Why wouldn't I? There would be no reason not to. For the price of a PS4K I could just sell my old PS4s and add the $399 for the new console towards a GPU which can actually run things in 4K.

 

[John1744]

He's fixing the typo on the RAM throughput.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Same weak CPU? Pass

 

[Vena]

Its still using the Jag... IPCs am cry. That clock increase is barely going to do anything.

 

[ReadingRambo]

When do we just start calling consoles pcs?

 

[TEH-CJ]

Fuck yeah! PS4 neo is a beast. release it now Sony! have my money.

 

[Daingurse]

NEO . . . This new PS4 will have a bottomless apetite. PS4K must feed!

Edit : Seriously though, that's a smaller bump than I was expecting. Pretty incremental increase

 

[alr1ght]

Say hey to 15fps, sub 1080p games on regular PS4.

 

[Rudiano]

 

[Jintor]

austin 'scoops' walker

 

[Toki767]

I at least like that they aren't going to allow PS4K exclusive features in games.

 

[RedRooster]

I can't fight it any longer. Sell it to me now please!!!!

 

[jett]

The GPU upgrade is the real thing, the other two are kinda meager increases.

 

[Zombegoast]

I'm interested in how much the OC'D Jaguar will bottleneck the GPU.

[enkaisu]

Officially regret getting a PS4. Thanks Sony.

 

[WadeitOut]

The increase in specs is fairly minimal. They clearly just wanted to allow 4K output for their TVs while keeping the cost down. Kind of pointless when most 4K TVs now have excellent upscalers.

[TromboneTony]

Austin= Scoops 2.0

 

[Kintaro]

Man, I just don't see the point. It'll cause consumer confusion at the retail level, upset early adopters and the jump may end up not even be that big. You would not believe how confused average general consumers are almost three years into this gen to begin with. Now this? Ugh.

 

[RoKKeR]

Starting in October, every PS4 game is required to ship with both a “Base Mode” which will run on the currently available PS4 and a “NEO Mode” for use on the new console.

Man, there are going to be a lot of growing pains if this is the direction (and it seems that it is) that the console space is taking.

I'm not outright opposed to it yet, but am certainly curious to see what the ramifications are.

Memory is wrong. 176.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

When do we just start calling consoles pcs?

When they have a purpose outside of gaming. I can't make a living off of my PS4.

 

[Jigorath]

Someone at Sony really likes The Matrix.

 

[Averon]

How much does a 500 mhz bump help the CPU?

 

[Curufinwe]

Man, I just don't see the point. It'll cause consumer confusion at the retail level, upset early adopters and the jump may end up not even be that big. You would not believe how confused average general consumers are almost three years into this gen to begin with. Now this? Ugh.

They'll be fine.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

is this what we're doing now?

Was a joke, they play the same games...

Source?

Spoiler

answer: you

 

[JABEE]

The idea of Neo only games.

There needs to be a reasonable trade-in offer.

The article says there will be none.
