What happened to the PS4 Pro?

I own one and I'm really pleased with it, why do you ask?

Regular people don't give a fuck about it, only shills like this Sony employee right here:

i thought it was going to save console gaming yet nobody is talking about it.

is console gaming dead?

It's ok. The games with enhanced 1080p actually do run better. WoFF patch was broken and depth of field ruins it.

I wasn't aware that it was dying.

A few "enhanced" games run worse than their base counterpart. No idea if devs intend to fix it, but at least Uncharted looks nice in 1440p.

It kinda is. The PS4 and the XBox one are pretty much multiplat custom PCs, which defeats the very purpose of their existence. Only the Switch will save us.

>Multiple PS4 Pro's overheating
>Tons of games unoptimized and worse than regular PS4
>Devs can charge for patches
>Checkerboard upscaling and sub-30fps games

It's looking pretty bad bro

>Can charge for patches
Holy shit, you serious m8?

I'm pretty sure it's just xbot propaganda. Sony has never officially said anything about charging for Pro patches.
Why would they shoot them self in the foot like that?

Dead fucking serious. It hasn't happened yet, but it's just a matter of time.

if console gaming needed """""""saving""""""", it's not Sony who needs Saving

their console sales are up significantly even though they already have the largest install base by a gigantic margin that the XBoner will NEVER close

Three years later and my PS4 is still a Bloodborne machine. That's what's wrong with it. Why would I invest in a slightly upgraded console with no games? That's a serious question, maybe someone can convince me.

Any difference from the original user kun?

>Hoax

That's not very convincing shitposting, user.
You need to up your game.

>>Devs can charge for patches

No you dumbass, Sony charges the devs to make a patch which is why most of them don't even bother making a PS4PRO patch.

outside of cherrypicked DigitalFoundry screenshots of third-party games and TLoU it runs and loads every game that matters better
better network card so it downloads shit faster
runs quieter
easier to replace the hard drive

>i thought it was going to save console gaming
No, there is another...

Bought one, got a lemon, exchanged for a slim instead and got 125 dollars back towards a new (NON-4K) TV. Couldn't be happier. Maybe I'll get one if this one ever dies. By then maybe they'll have their act together. But for now, it's kind of shitty. Certain games run worse at 1080p. I have no plans on moving to 4k.

They should have made it focused on 60FPS at 1080p instead of a 4k focused machine. I would have bought it then.

Worth the upgrade?

People realized playing games at 1600 x 1800 resolution "checkerboarded" up to 3200 x 1800 was a meme.

>Nintendo fags believe this

Keep in mind the slim has the same network card.

its a pushover.

Most devs are wasting all the extra power on forced resolution upscales instead of improving the base 1080p experience performance wise.
4k upscaled games play slightly worse than the base ps4 counterparts too.

Its like a bad hybrid between pc gaming and console gaming with all the negatives and none of the positives like choice and individual settings.

Only buy one if you have a 4k screen

I upgraded and haven't regretted it at all
I didn't say otherwise, I was just mentioning that the new models have a much better card in them

>They should have made it focused on 60FPS at 1080p instead of a 4k focused machine. I would have bought it then.
It's up to dev's how the pro version utilitizes the extra power. FFXV is going to have an option between higher resolution and improved fps. Hopefully most developers take a similar route.

Because I'm not shitposting. I'm actually insulted that you accused me of that. What I was trying to say is that Sony should have invested in making more first party games and exclusives, not rolling out a model with the specs the original should have had.

If I want to play multiplat games at 60+ fps and 4k, I have a PC that can do that. A console sells me on the exclusives. Now, BB is my favorite game, so I don't feel too let down by my original purchase, but the pro only has improved load times for it from what I've read. That's not worth the costs for me.

ffxv is the killer app

Sony has never had a great first party lineup, and they have plenty of exclusives. The problem is that the industry as a whole has regressed and game design with it.

Aside from old PS3 ports they can squeeze native 4k on, at best it runs games at half the rendered pixels of real 4k.

At worst it runs games significantly lower than half of 4k. It just seems like such an odd step. If the push was for 4k TV's why not wait until you can actually get closer to 4k resolution?

how do you market 60 fps 4700

Im literally only interested in Bloobodnre atm. do you think going for a slim is the smarter choice? Given how fromsoft will never improve it.

I chose to play my games on pc but i am glad you too enjoy video games whether they are on platform a or b it doesnt matter!

If BB is all you care about and there's nothing on the horizon that interests you, there is no reason to get a pro. From is very unlikely to even release another patch for BB, let alone put in the work to make it run better.

I wish soulsfags would stop being so obnoxious where they assume that everyone on the planet give a shit about bloodborne.

maybe the god of war game or persona 5 as well, im sure ff will get a pc port at some point. But mainly bloodborne. I will wait to see if the slim price drops a bit on black friday

>plastic is melting inwards into the heat source instead of out
Some retard put a heat gun to his pro

It came out and some bought it while others didn't

[citation needed]

At this point, definitely wait until black Friday. It will almost certainly be on sale. For what it's worth, the BB complete edition was on sale the other day.

>persona 5
You can get it for the PS3.

>runs quieter
What? But how? You lucky motherfucker

>No PS3 collector's edition
>Even in Japan, aka the entire reason last gen versions of games even exist still because they're eternally stuck a gen behind, the PS4 version tripled the PS3 version's sales because it's objectively better

Just because you can doesn't mean you should

it's a piece of shit

i was literally staring at either the pro or the slim at the store the other day and bought a slim because i dont really give a shit about 4k anything yet

>heat gun

I don't care about collector's editions and I'm not buying a PS4 just for a handful of games.

lmao

you bought a ps3 and it doesn't even have any

if I wanted to play games in 720p on a TV with a bigger resolution than that so it looks fucking horrible I'd buy a PSTV and save money that would have been wasted on a Ricky Bobby Machine

Oh, so original. Except you forgot to replace the 3 with a 4. Maybe I'll buy a 4 once it's dead and it has finally something worth a damn in it.

>play games in 720p on a TV with a bigger resolution
720p looks perfectly fine in 1080p screens. You fell for the 4k meme too? Goddamn, user, you sure love to waste money.

I don't waste money because I had a 360 last gen

If I wanted to waste money this gen I would have bought an XBox One. Non-current gen systems that aren't PC are completely irrelevant. End of story.

ps4 slim bundles with uncharted 4 are gonna be 250$ like everywhere

PC has no games and is a glorified console port machine that misses out on the majority of console games bar xBOX

pc has ALL the games except for exclusives which is the only reason to even think about a ps4. And only like 4 exclusives might be worth it.

BUY MY FUCKING CONSOLE

Greatness Happened.

Sony detractors are this retarded

really? I visited my friend yesterday to try to fix some internet issues he was having, and he was really exited about getting one
