400 dollars made me kind of interested until I remembered my ps4 is basically a Destiny box and no way is Bungie doing a Pro patch for Destiny

they can barely add content to the game, let alone boost the res

Why would anyone be excited for the new mass effect after the last one?

It wasn't just the ending, the entire game was a pretty bullshit conclusion to the trilogy. 2 was better in every way (except for multiplayer I suppose)

What are you talking about? The gameplay in ME3 was the best in the series, that's why the horde mode multiplayer worked so well. Yeah, some of the story payoffs were disappointing, but overall I thought ME3 was really good. A bad ending does not retroactively make a game bad.

Okay wait, I may be changing my mind on this. The BBC is producing Planet Earth 2 in 4K HDR. But probably won't be finished until 2019 or later. So maybe I'll just wait for PS5.

the installed memory hasn't changed, so not likely - I think 512mb extra is available to the Pro in the OS now, but you won't necessarily get massively better textures with just that little bit of extra ram. Some games will likely have some texture improvements, but they're limited with the same 8GB - expect things like higher res, better shadows, maybe more foilage etc

HDD and standard blueray are very good imo because gently caress paying for those in my nice cheap pro console.

hrd for all ps4s is the right thing to do.

sony killed it for this gamer. good messaging on keeping everything unified. good messaging on pro giving benefits in graphics to hd tvs and 4k tvs.

good stuff

And presumably the whole idea is that new games (or games patched later if we're lucky) will perform to the limits of the Pro, and then if the game detects a Slim/Release version of the console it'll reduce graphical settings?

No. It will run things slightly better but even the footage they showed at the conference didn't run consistent so it's not even going to do that. Making games work to take advantage of the Pro seems optional and most companies just aren't gonna loving bother. I think the only reasons to get it are if you have a 4k TV or maybe if you're getting VR (though they really didn't go into any detail regarding VR).
