PS4 Pro review: The best games console for 4K players - Telegraph

Quote: However, having spent some time with the PS4 Pro I can say with confidence that, in this instance, the approach does offer splendid flexibility depending on your preferences. I sat with my wife, flicking through the options on Tomb Raider and getting very excited about the gorgeous detail and extra richness while she was nonplussed by the differences.

Not just for 4K players.

Super sampling is pretty great as well.

@Art

Well super sampling is what you get with a 1080P screen.

@Moldy

Isnt that the point in releasing 4K capable devices?

I mean if there are no 4K devices on the market then there's no incentive to buy 4K televisions. What the Pro will do is create an incentive to buy a 4K television.

Then again even if you don't own a 4K TV you can still benefit from the Pro.

Exactely. Its not like you need 4k to enjoy the benefits of a more powerful console.

What or who is a "4k player"?
Why can't people just get what they want and play what they want?

350 for super sampling? Lol

[Babadook7]

^^

What does that even mean? Youd rather save 50 for something with 1/3 the power??

@ Artemidorus

It does make the game look better

Plus other benefits

PS4 Pro Features (4K TV not required)
- Even if a game merely patches in a 4K mode, it will be downsampled to 1080p on a 1080p set which is a huge boost to IQ
- Some games (such as Rise of the Tomb Raider) are providing a choice over visual modes. The player can choose between a focus on resolution, frame rate, or other graphical enhancements.
- Improved Wifi (5ghz) from OG PS4 and same as the Slim. Source: http://www.neogaf.com/forum...
- Quieter system than OG PS4
- Faster game loading from the default 1TB hard drive - this needs a source to confirm.
- Extra USB port (in the back)
- PSVR gaming is visually enhanced. Here is a thread with specific VR game enhancements: http://www.neogaf.com/forum...
- 1080p/60fps remote play
- Has an optical audio port (unlike the PS4 Slim)
- Better quality video clips through Share button (1080p @ 30fps)
- Ability to stream at 1080p with 60fps
- Faster SSD / SSHD game loading through new SATA III port
- 1 GB of new standard RAM is added to the system. The net result is approx. 512 MB of GDDR5 RAM freed up for games. The rest of the added RAM is for other purposes (OS, 4K). Source: http://www.polygon.com/2016...
- Improved DS4 controller included (Slim too), with a more accessible light bar and lower latency when connected by cable (doesn't force Bluetooth)

people argued just a few months ago how nobody has a 4k tv, now sony is going to help that movement a lot.

[MasterCornholio]

Definitely not. Theres benefits for 1080P owners as well. And if developers want to they can increase graphical detail for the 1080P version.

Don't they mean "only console for 4k players"
