This isn't the only link. I guess it is true. This is fucked. Might as well play exclusively on my PC now.

it's only a 4k video player iirc

wont actually play games at 4k

It will upscale games to 4k, but not run them natively.

Games will still run on PS4.0, but they will look and/or run worse than the 4.5.

that's honestly shitty most people who buy consoles aren't really in a position to be upgrading only 3 years later

I doubt it would look much different than just running the games at 1080p and having the tv upscale them instead

It might look a lot different. Resolution isn't the point though. Games will look better on that machine graphically, and run better.

hardware improved a lot on the previous generation too, ultimately supported the same software but some of the hardware was different by the end of the Xbox 360's life cycle

FPS caps are set by the developer

in terms of hardware, games should run better, but they wont, and outside of 4k video you really won't see any difference unless you had some synthetic tests done, at the very least, you might see less stutter in the games that had them

it IS better hardware but they're not going to make games that can't run on both, that would be what Sega did with the Dreamcast and look how that turned out

No. They said Sony said there can be no games exclusive to this new system. Nor can there be gameplay features only on this system. But games can run better on it with higher framerates and also have better graphical fidelity and graphical features. They're even letting developers patch older PS4 games to boost performance or graphics, if they want to.

Yeah I'm not a fan of it. Word is a lot of developers aren't either. And Microsoft is doing the same thing.

Cool, hope devs take advantage of this.

Unless you have a 4k TV would a 4k console be worth getting on a TV that's under that resolution? For example I have a vizio d series full-array led TV. Would a 4k PS4 look any different than the one I have now due to my TV not being 4k?

You'd just be running games at 1080P. But this new console isn't just bumping up the resolution. It would allow for better graphics and frame rates.
