even better, for some reason the ps4 uses an inline sata<->usb converter on the hard drive. it's basically an external drive mounted internally.

it's usb 3 tho right?

i'm pretty sure the ps4 SE will do next to nothing for gaming and they are just updating it for 4k blurays

the only thing that can go wrong is that devs start releasing games at 20fps on the original PS4 in a few years, while the same game runs at 30-60 fps on PS4 Revision 2.

this is easily remedied be stricter guidelines and new compliancy testing by Sony.

any outrage over this will be by jealous children. however, mad child gamers can be a real pain in the rear end as demonstrated by gamergate, so we'll see.

sony would be best to do a lot of explaining at the keynote, talking about what's in place to make sure games will run well on all generations of console.

the PS4 can already output 4K, and in fact it does this for VR, then uses the box to split that 4K image down to a 1080p stream for the headset, and a 720p stream for the TV. this lets you play on both devices at once, even with different images on the headset and TV.

with traditional console generations you release your device for $399, then drop it $49 every year or so. with revisions, Sony can keep their console around $399 indefinitely and even drive some users to upgrade every few years.

Remember when people were asking him about the Xbox One always having to always be on the Internet even for single player games, with concern that it's going to screw over guys in Iraq and Afghanistan? And he said "We have a console for them: the Xbox 360!". I think that was the final nail and MS let him go like a week later.

e: he was let go two weeks later lol

He also left Zynga out of nowhere, too. I definitely don't follow mobile game news enough to know if he was a shitshow there, too, though.

the danger is releasing new hardware and then letting devs target the new hardware for performance

which evidently sony isn't going to allow, the new hardware is likely for upscaling games and native 4k playback for the 11 people that have a 4k tv so close to their chair that they can tell the difference between a bluray and 4k content.

i guess there might be some borderline games where some particular area drops below 30 fps that might remain stable on the new ps4 and that might be frustrating for people that only recently bought a ps4?



over in goofus land though, i can totally see microsoft encouraging or even forcing first and second party devs to target the xbox one two in order to drive sales of their new hardware and then they'll send out a bunch of confused press releases where they don't understand why people are upset that halo 6 or w/e gets 19 fps on the xbox one

not only are they letting devs target the new hardware, they're requiring them to do so starting in October

all games are required to have a Base mode and a Neo mode, Neo mode must natively render at least 1080p (lol), the Neo mode must have a framerate greater or equal to the Base Mode, Base and Neo must have an identical feature set (except Neo is allowed to support more players in local-only modes), Base and Neo must be patched on the same schedule, the game discs have to ship with the Base mode (and starting in like 2017 or something must ship both Base and Neo), Base and Neo online multiplayer must interoperate, etc.

oh and the new hardware isn't a secret, everything's clocked faster and the GPU has double the number of shader cores

Zynga is such a skeezy company that, unironically, they probably hired him because the tried to gently caress people at Microsoft. his Canadian conscious probably kicked it when they showed him plans to trick toddlers into making in-app purchases on their parents cards and he left.

Why is being right wing in Canada being a liberal? I don't care much for politics but that's oddly confusing since right wing even in the middle east means conservative.
