More Powerful PS4 Neo Will Launch This Year - Report

@Tekarukite: My 34" ultrawide 3840x1440 monitor in front of me says "no sir.. you're wrong.. unless you're balls deep in that 1080p TV screen".

@joshrmeyer: The cost of my setup is irrelevant to the ludicrous claim by the poster I replied to, who wrote, "games on ps4 already look as good as mid range PCs." I was just making a point to dispel the inaccuracy of such a technology ignorant assertion. And as you say, "everybody knows the more you spend, the more you get, " well, judging by the foolish comment I replied to- apparently, "everybody" does NOT know. All you have to do is read some of the drivel in this thread to know that.

@psn_m1nat3k: I spent about 1000 in 2010 to build a PC. It still runs current gen stuff as well if not better than my PS4. I havent upgraded anything.

@psn_m1nat3k: Not really the case anymore. Upgrading your mobo/RAM/CPU doesn't really get you that much if we are just talking performance for a gaming rig. In the past I would agree but now, not so much. The GPU is the best bang for the buck and the majority these days hold on to their mobo/RAM/CPU combos and just upgrade the GPU every couple generations/iterations.

As an FYI, I just built a system on newegg for giggles and using their super DIY combos with an i5 skylake CPU (everything needed even case) with an GTX 980ti.......$917. Not the cream of the crop parts for mobo/CPU/RAM but it would smoke a PS4. You can even make it cheaper buy going with a lower GPU that would still beat out the PS4. Without the GPU...the system is $450.

Even with all that said, the PS4 itself is a great bang for the buck for what it delivers. I have been happy with it (purchased launch day) and game on it weekly.

@psn_m1nat3k: I spent 1500 bucks on my last 2 gaming PC's. But like someone else mentioned I will now just upgrade my graphics card and get another 3 or 4 years out of it.

He might be right..as a spendthrift- not an educated PC gamer ;)

@heydink: Are you brainwashed? Loads of well optimised games look and run beautifully on low end PCs. 60fps isn't really butter smooth. Gamers on PC use higher FOV settings than on consoles, mainly 85-100, so there is more on the screen at a time, most console games are locked at 60-70 degrees, so you can squeeze more performance out of them. It's not being elitist. I don't care what platform people on, I respect their choice, but when people spew out ridiculously false claims it's very ignorant.

@heydink: Lol . not a framerate whore... damn console peasant. Maybe you could get of your mons basement, get a job and be able to afford a PC and stop saying crap.

@heydink: im all for consoles, but when it comes to witcher 3, my ps4 looks like garbage compared to my 970.

@heydink: I cant agree with you there bud. I have a GTX970 and the witcher 3 looks a lot better. Your not looking at the entire picture. The lighting, the foliage, character amount, frames 2560/1440p, nvidia hairworks etc etc. your friend doesn't know how to optimize his pc if it doesnt look and play better than your ps4. I owned the witcher 3 on console before PC and its a huge step up. I love my consoles and will be getting both Scorpio and Neo but will also be getting a GTX 1080. There are tons of great games on PC, ones that are never mentioned on these websites. Hidden indie games that are just awesome. I just love gaming

@heydink: Some people would says the same about PS4 vs. XB1. Funny how PS4 users sound like defensive XB1 users when the tables are turned.

@heydink:

To me the Witcher 3 looks a lot different. The game almost looks real on PC due to shadows I believe. Everything is darker. I like how PS4 games look though. I can play games on either platform. We have hit the point of diminishing returns when it comes to graphics and effects. As long as the game is fun that is whats most important. Uncharted 4 is a great game IMO.
