PS4 Pro Enhancements Confirmed for Two More Ubisoft Games

@blueaurora:

Are you a gamer or movie fan. PS4 Pro is a 'games console' at heart, not a 'multimedia console.'

MS do the multimedia consoles. The nail is well and truly driven in for gamers. PS4 Pro has showed that it can fill a 4K screen with high quality content using relatively cheap hardware. Are you really going to wait over a year for a more expensive console that will do the same thing via brute force native 4K, when you see all the awesome looking games you can play here and now, cheaply.

I find it strange you call the PS4 Pro an underwhelming garbage money grab, when you have not seen the full quality this thing is pushing out. We don't have the infrastructure to see 4k HDR demo's on the internet. You will have to view it at a shop running a PS4 Pro through a 4K HDR TV. The image quality will blow you over, especially considering it's a £349 console.

The reason why Sony have been able to get to market first using this years AMD chips, rather than waiting until next year for the more expensive AMD chips, is because Sony have developed a hardware supersampling checkerboard upscaler that delivers a very high quality 4K image. The recent demo's have proved that it's not just some lame Photoshop bicubic upscale.

Nobody is going to wait a year for MS Scorpio when they see what the PS4 Pro is pushing out with cheap hardware. It really is the nail in the coffin, unless MS sell the XB Scorpio at a loss to match PS4 Pro. But most gamers can only afford one console, so the first to market grabs all the sales.

MS have also shot themselves in the foot again by making the xbox exclusives playable on the PC. PC gamers don't need to buy an MS Scorpio now because the exclusives are coming to their PC. They will have to buy a PS4 Pro though, because Uncharted 4, The Last Of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone will never be coming to PC in high quality.

@blueaurora: You'd be waiting so long that by the time Scorpio is released you've saved enough money for a high-end PC that outperforms it.

@smokerob79: Not necessarily. They also have to optimize for the higher framerates. That's why you hear about crap port jobs to PC and why I think most PS4P games will still run at 30fps with just slightly better features. Most devs are too lazy, or more likely most publishers just don't care enough, to optimize games cross platform.

@smokerob79: yeah I like SE's take for TR which was to offer the gamers the choice of eye-candy vs framerate vs upres. As a frequent PC gamer (but someone who also games on console) I like to have some choice over my experience
