In other words, they could have the developers downgrade the complexity of the graphics to the point where native 4K@60 FPS is possible. So, while technically it would be in 4K@60 FPS, it wouldn't have nearly the complexity of graphics that the original game had. That's just a theory but it's the only thing I can think of that doesn't involve Sony outright lying in their marketing.

Why are you bringing Sony into this? Sony didn't mention anything, this is Visual Concepts making that statement. And, did Visual Concepts say rendered in 4K or did they say Native 4k. If it's rendered it maybe "checkered board redenring" which is more than like 1440p and checkered board rendered to 4K. Stop with the "Sony is outright lying" when sony didn't say a word. Your statement reeks of fan boy console wars.

Still not buying a PS4 pro and hope others do not either.

Sony should give you at least a 50% trade in on your old PS4 towards a Pro.

You're right, Visual Concepts made this statement. I made a mistake and I take that back.

I don't own consoles nor do I care about them. I also didn't say Sony was lying. I tried to think of some explanation as to how this console can do what it claims to do (4K gaming at high framerates) without there being some clever misinformation in the marketing.

But my point is about what I've heard from "4K PS4" news stories recently which are saying that various games will run in 4K @ 60 FPS. People don't realize that playing in native (read: not upscaled) 4K @ 60 FPS is still expensive to do and takes much more powerful hardware than what will be in a console. To the average consumer they think these consoles are going to do "real" 4K but it's likely going to be upscaled.

Hence, I came up with a quirky theory that developers will actually reduce the complexity of their graphics in order to deliver "native 4K @ 60 FPS" on a console.

It isn't true 4k. It is just upscaled. This is a scam

Why buy a ps4 pro, if you own a ps4 already, and a pc?? Doesnt make sense unless your pc is a potato
