PS4K Confirmed

[TheKnack]

Alright guys, so now that PS4k (NEO) has been confirmed (and likely to be released this holiday season), what are everyone's thoughts? Will you be buying the upgraded system?

But more thread pertinent, do we think MLB The Show 17 will showcase such incredible graphics? The ability to showcase an already beautiful game with 4k definition could be a really energy boost to what some consider a bit of a stale franchise right now.

I'm pumped, and definitely diving in headfirst if this is the case.

I feel all the sports franchises will be pushing their graphics to the limit when the new consoles come out. They will probably release a lesser version graphically for the current consoles but it will still be better than what we currently have.

Will definitely be upgrading. I've had a PS3 and now a PS4, and the only games ever played on each has been MLB the Show. I plan on keeping this record intact.

While I agree with this, I am a bit nervous SDS won't go the 4k route immediately. People have been clamoring for new player models for 3 or 4 years now, but nothing has come of it.

I understand they're still maxing the console's memory/bandwidth out with stadium and crowd textures, but if this franchise REALLY wants to make it's heyday, I'd like to think new player models with 4k textures involved would be the way to go.

My understanding of everything that has come out (mostly from Digital Foundry) is that not all games are going to be in 4K. Developers can still choose to go with 1080p.

I'm guessing developers will decide on a case by case basis.

Also, the most interesting thing to me is if older games are going to be patched. Obviously, I hope they patch this game to achieve a higher frame rate, even if the visuals don't change at all. I would think Sony would want all first party games see a bare minimum performance patch.

That's assuming you don't just put a PS4 game into a PS4.5 and choppy frame rates go away.

I will not be purchasing. Not much of an upgrade. Waiting for TV to start broadcasting in 4K before I make my move.

If you don't have a 4K TV will the new PS4 even make much of a difference?

Very few games will even hit 4k anyway. I really doubt you ever see the Show in 4K on PS4. Its still just not powerful enough.
