To be real this is part of the reason I haven't jumped to next gen. I don't know if its my interest in video games have dropped but nothing has come out that made want to get ____ system. Even SFV looks like a snooze fest to me. I hope if they do release 4.5 that would give devs a shorter dev cycle on top of taking less time to make games.
SF V is great, I love the damn game. The core gameplay is almost perfect

That's stupid. :mindblown:

4K Bluray player but without a bluray drive?
Unless you plan on making sure everyone knows it's discless and has a huge HD, this is straight up dumb.

:what:
Calm down breh. I am just brainstorming, not many people care about blu-ray discs like that man, you guys are delusional thinking there are droves of people buying that shyt on disc anymore.

Oh and the price difference between a 500GB and 1TB HDD is very small, maybe a $5 difference for MS/Sony.

You realize games come on bluray too right?? The only positive I would see from a bluray less PS4 is for it to be cheaper overall than a PS4 AND for the PS store to offer crazy sales which they probably won't. Other than that, a disc-less PS4 that's priced the same or more than a regular one would confuse the average joe.

That's my point, I wonder what they will try to do to stay in that $400 price point.

This shyt better be announced by June because I am actively keeping my eyes out on it everywhere. I have been browsing neogaf more than I have in the past few years hoping that something pops up.

There's so much conflicting information that I too am trying to see what this is going to be like. The latest thing I saw was some guy who kept teasing about the PS4K said:
- Won't be overly expensive (aka 399-499 pricerange)
- Wait for e3 (possible reveal)
- Releasing at the end of this year
- Will run ps4 games at higher fidelity, but won't have exclusive games made for it. Kind of like iphone6s vs iphone6. Will be running the same apps, but better.
- Will be capable of 4k gaming (But if priced at 399-499, I'm expecting something similar to 1080p gaming on the ps3)

The only thing he has going for him(the poster) is that he leaked TLG for PS4 before E3 and he was confirmed to be someone in the know by a mod over there as they usually do that and if the person can't prove they can know this stuff then they're banned.

:yeshrug: Just wait and see.

Because honestly it looks like that is the direction we are heading in. Doesn't anyone find it strange how Microsoft, Sony and these 3rd party developers are still supporting the 360 and the PS3 till this day? Exactly why can't this work going forward with better tech? I think $400 every 3 years for better hardware isn't that bad at all actually.

If they can do it with the extreme difference in performance between the 360 and PS4, why not the XB1/PS4 to XB1.5/PS4.5 ? I like the idea of newer hardware refreshes. Plus considering that I think the PS4 and XBOX One will get another price drop to go along with it I think everyone wins. The damn 360 and PS3 brand new are still going for $200+ :comeon:

There are several games that came out for the current and last gen and are the full experiences (apart from graphical differences obviously)

Watch Dogs
Tomb Raider
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Titanfall
MLB The Show
Black Ops 3?
NBA 2K
Madden
The Evil Within
Resident Evil 4 (lol)

With hardware that isn't that outdated there will be even more. I think this is good for the industry :ehh:
Im balling so its nothing to me. :manny: I spend 700 every other year on a new phone so whats a console

:manny: ITS NOTHIN!!!!!!

My only concern is hoping that the world doesnt end while im trying to enjoy all this tech.

5-6 years is reasonable , 3 years would make me stop playing all together IF the differentiation between gens are more minimal than this current one.

There HAS to be a justifiable big jump not just bullshyt lighting and shading tricks or catchy processing gimmicks.

Long story short ... WOW me & I'll be a customer for life.

It's funny how clueless the internet is sometimes in regards to shyt. Look at this thread made on Gaf last year June.
XBOX One 2016+ Speculations (Newer Hardware)

Guy just says why don't they(Xbox) make a better hardware and do this blah blah. Whole thread is full of "know it alls" laughin at dude and mocking him.

Fast forward and Phil Spencer openly states they'll do this. Smh. Same clowns on that "No way, that won't work. How could they?" are now looking stupid.

As I said in another thread, they should just released a system that can be upgraded easily, then just release perpetual gpu upgrades.

Sony and Microsoft playing chess, not checkers.

Watch this shyt be a minimal upgrade of the hardware to drown out whatever the fukk Nintendo is showing with the NX
