PS4 is x86 so a mobile version is immediately dead in the water, it'd suck battery no matter what. This does make me wonder if PS5 will be an ARM machine though. Now would be a good time to make the jump since ARM is edging into the server market -- Amazon just added ARM-backed instances to EC2. But wave goodbye to backwards compat if that happens

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


I seriously doubt they would go ARM because there isn't an ARM SoC with a good enough GPU. The "high performer" consoles are going to remain x86 for the foreseeable future, that's the only way they are going to have good enough graphical hardware.

It's just going to be the VR2 controllers that hitch into a screen dock for phones that streams from a PS5 app. Second screen functionality as another selling point for VR and peripherals.

I'm about to buy a new TV/receiver combo (my current setup has lasted since the ps3 released), and already have a launch ps4. Crystal-balling aside, is the ps4 pro a big (or at least noticeable?) step up from the standard ps4?

Given that it doesn't play UHD discs - and that I use a shield for media/streaming services - does the 4k/hdr/better-framerate-in-general for games make a big difference? I appreciate that's very subjective, but I'm keen to hear any anecdotal evidence.

At present I'm only really hanging out for Sekiro and Death Stranding, if that matters any.

The Vr2 controller patent has big triangles on the ends for motion tracking and would be hilariously insane hitched up to a tablet.

I've just run into an absolutely baffling issue with my PS4 and PS4 Pro, and want to see if this rings a bell for anybody because I am completely dumbfounded by what this can be.

A little over a week ago my PS4 Pro started hard shutting down in the middle of use. As in no light at all on the console. Once this would happen, the console would completely refuse to even attempt to power on or even eject the disc unless I killed the power to it (as in unplugging the power cable) and plugged it back in, but for like an hour or two it was impossible to get it to power on correctly, at best it would stay on for a split-second (even the power-on beep would be cut short). So I was thinking my PS4 Pro was dying, and set up a service request for it over the weekend.

I had an older model "fat" PS4 hooked up (the all-matte kind with real buttons) in the iterim, and just today it did the exact same thing. Now given the difference in model there were some differences in how things were setup exactly, with the only common points being the HDMI cable/port used on the TV, and network cable. What's weird is I had it hooked up elsewhere on the same TV (different input, HDMI cable/port and network cable) and no issues. The only other common element was a newer model Playstation camera hooked up, the same one in both cases.

Now what baffles me is how an HDMI cable, network cable, or Playstation Eye are capable of somehow causing a console to fail this hard and for this long, like I actually do have to let the console sit for a few hours before it'll be usable again, even if I unplug it from power and everything.

Any ideas? :psyduck:

My Pro was doing that before I opened it up and cleaned and reapplied thermal paste. Now it doesn’t.

I have a high-end 1080p set and find that games that have Pro enhancements or play nice with boost mode definitely make the upgrade worthwhile.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Just finished Horizon: The Frozen Wilds to 100%. This is the kind of DLC expansion we should be getting! Just a huge new area, lots of new stuff to do and kill and craft. Although even on my Pro the snowy environments made the fans sound like they were about to lift off on rare instances. I was going into this expecting some kind of chintzy 5 hour thing but I spent a few days worth of sessions with it, clearing out all the quests and learning more about the arctic north. They set up a sequel villain pretty hard with this expansion too, and I'm actually excited to see where the angle with Hephaestus goes in a potential sequel. But wow they really ramped up the difficulty on this thing, I'd gotten all cocky what with having the special Halo recharging shield armor and then they have the giant robot bears that spew fire and they get a couple swings in on you and hey where did 500 of my health go!?

I've only got two trophies to round out a complete trophy set, but they're the NG+ and beat the game on Ultra Hard ones so I'm really not all that eager to speedrun the game with all my busted Frozen Wilds gear at this time. Sony did send me the platinum trophy e-mail though, but from the message line I thought they finally sent me the Bloodborne one they never did :(

Still this game was great, I hope Guerrilla is working on making this their new big franchise because there's so much potential in it.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I can’t think of a dlc/expansion I’ve enjoyed more than TFW. Everything it tried to do it did well. Basically felt like a greatest hits of the best main game parts with new fun things sprinkled on top.

And yeah it really needs to be their main franchise + a long term franchise for Sony.

If it helps, when I played the game there was no DLC so I assumed it was a hook for the sequel. A bit like in Arkham Asylum where you see some empty cells for some of the bigger villains but they are not in the game.

I fell in love with incendiary buckshot. I need do upgrade my satchels so I can hold more than 3 moonshine at a time for easier crafting. The fences must think I am crazy for buying 3 twenty times in a row each time I visit.

Aside from the occasional rampant murder spree, RDR2 has become my go to chill out walking (riding) simulator. The slow, deliberate feel to almost everything to do is very calming.

Also, get the Arabian horse from the west shore of Lake Isabella (the legendary White Bison is on the other lakeside as well).
