What the fuck is going on?
You think they are going to hose PS4K buyers by going to an entirely new generation in a couple years? Nah, this generation is the last generation and everything will be muddled in the future. At some point devs will stop targeting the PS4.

Its actually more than ok. Its the best thing to happen to this industry.
Say goodbye to holding onto old ass technology for 6 or more years.
Such a great move for this industry

My ancestors work for UBI and helped develop the animus too!
In what sense?
The PS4's GPU is nearly 8 times the FLOP count of the Xbox 360 by comparison.
This sounds like it's somewhere between 2-4 times depending on how much the clock speed has changed. It's about a half-step.

I don't think handheld users are under illusions that they have "top-tier" hardware and graphic fidelity.
Considering the key selling point of PS4 is that it has the "best tech" in consoles, telling the existing userbase that "lol you don't have the best tech anymore unless you pay $400-$500 more" is a kick in the nuts for folks that are invested into their platforms financially and emotionally.

That is what I said once too. Now I spend way more money on PC and I still drop it on consoles.
First it's 1440. Then its 1440 with 60fps. Then it's gsync/free sync. Then it's ultrawide. Then it's 4k. Soon it will be 4k 60fps.
My biggest question is do I try selling my launchPS4 now. I still have my 20th anniversary sealed... hmmm.
Hilarious, and, you're probably right.
Yea but it'll be an afterthought to get it running well on the normal PS4.

Glad I didn't get a Ps4 yet, do we know anything involving Deep Down? Is it going to be Ps4 exclusive?
I'll probably pick this up day 1, or wait for a bundle.
My only hope is that Sony and Microsoft (if they do this as well) do the right thing and say "If you have the previous model, send it to us with X amount of dollars and within a certain amount of time you will get the updated model."

EXCLUSIVE to PS4K!
No way that happens. It'll likely be an increased graphical upgrade for ps4k people don't see them just giving up on the old audience especially since I think in the grand scheme there will be more ps4 vanilla owners for a long time to come.

Still waiting for official info to drop from Sony and/or Microsoft for this sort of thing, but haven't heard anything as earth shattering as people let on about. I am on board.
Highly skeptical of the 4k for games part of all this. I'd be perfectly happy with 1080p60 across the board, which seems much more likely.

Whow, never been part of a genuine GAF meltdown thread. ^_^
What if devs have been asking for this?

but
they could've kept it in check with the OG PS4 if they didn't go so cheap on the machine by including a dusty GPU and a netbook CPU
so maybe we shouldn't have to pay for their choice to release an underpowered machine in the first place.

Games run better on more powerful hardware?
I AM OUTRAGED.
lol, your meltdowns are adorable GAF.

OP why would existing games not utilize into that cool 2x GPU power unless devs make an "unlikely" patch to utilize the new power?
Why would a system with such an increase in GPU power be offered at the same price as the existing PS4?
Why would a very slight CPU upgrade be debated that would supposedly be the sole reason for upping the cost an extra $100? If they were just getting a better CPU to utilize the GPU more efficiently, why have a "slight" upgrade?
Sounds fake as all hell dude.

This is my view too. We already have a situation where PS4 games won't play as well as a different machine. PC's. All they're doing is giving us a choice other than a PC.
No one needs to upgrade, and anyone that starts complaining that it's unfair that some players have better graphics are just showing sour grapes.
Before PS4K existed, they were content to play games on it, and now they aren't? Makes no sense to me.

Why would a developer not optimize for a platform with what, 30 million users?

You're right, but even on new 2 year contracts a new iPhone is what, $200-$400?
Point is, tech changes fast, why should we be stuck with hardware for 7 years like last gen when we could upgrade sooner?

So for a good VR experience you will have to pay 400 for PSVR and 400 again for the console that works well?!? That's Vita memory Cards on another level.

If this is true, Fuck Sony.
The Ps4 is doing fine why are they going to mess with that with this bullshit?

The hysteria in this thread is fucking insane. No one is going to bail on 50 million PS4s sold, not Sony, not 3rd parties. Even if this was twice as powerful as the original PS4 the list of exclusive nPS4 games would be about as long as the list of exclusive n3DS games.
Sounds like Phil Spencer is already in the same boat but perhaps they got caught with their pants down since PS4 was so sucessful, Sony doing the PS4K this year wasn't even a thought in Redmond. Microsoft is screwed either way, they should wait it out until next year.
Please god...no! D:

I truly truly believe this is a huuuuuge mistake for Sony. Why do this now? PS4 is killin it and has great momentum. At least wait until sales plateau before doing something like this.
I just don't understand why this is happening when it is.

Same here. 7 year cycles are just too long. And as long as they play the same games (iOS style) it's great. Will definetly get one. Just hope that it's not only 4k but also 1080p/60fps or downsampling from 4k to 1080p (Don't have 4k). And I hope they use better fans/coolers this time (they won't).
