Maybe I'm just daft, but what is the selling point of the Pro?

It really depends. In order for games to take advantage of the Pro, the developer has to add a patch to make it work. The Xbox One S is better in this regard in that it just upscales all games no matter what to 4K, and the Xbox One S scaler is really good. The Pro however can scale, checker board, or do native 4K. It can also, when optimized correctly, increase frame rate, render native 1080p, and have better graphic fidelity, the options are completely up to the developer and what they are able to do with the increased processor speeds. The graphics processor has been increased by 2x and the CPU is 1.5x.

So whether or not you have a 4K tv, you can see benefits with the Pro but it's only on select games. Every title going forward should have Pro support but that is not a guarantee.

Injustice 2 finally has a release date, May 15, 2017. So the delay was not a big deal. We are not that far away from release.

Overall I enjoyed Dragon Age Inquisition, I even finished the game. The world design frustrated me though, collecting everything on each map required more effort then I felt was worth it and leveling was too slow; if you finish the main story you won't be high enough level to tackle the DLC was pretty absurd.

They should just put wiiu games on it since nobody owns one anyway

Since the Switch is on a mobile Nvidia chip, it's not going to be at all compatible with Wii U or Wii titles and isn't backwards compatible.

They have that support in the handheld arena, and since Switch is there new handheld I'm guessing that will continue, but in reality people will buy their console just for Zelda/Mario/Metroid/Smash/Starfox/F-Zero. The last Nintendo console I've owned is a gamecube, and I've never owned a DS, but they seem like they will be more than fine.

Switch is not their new handheld. Nintendo has said straight up that the Switch is a home console first.

I've been watching someone play the Last Guardian all day on Twitch, and they've had zero issues with Trico, making me think the complaints are coming from complete retards. This is making me want to buy the game now because i've been basing judgment on people who don't pay attention and assuming the game just had weird rear end mechanics.

True, i'll wait and see where the Switch is in a year. I can't afford one anyways because you have to buy not just the system, but a SD card (you're going to need a real big one if not multiple), and you're going to really want the new Pro controller that Nintendo made.

It has a 32 gig internal storage and takes Micro SD up to 128 gigs, so I can drop like $50 and get the max storage as opposed to Vita which charged me like $100 for 64.

No, you can get a 256GB supposedly. Samsung makes these but they are $150 - $200.

Oh you're right, just looked it up and it takes 256 but man after Vita there's no way I'm shelling out that much again for a memory card anytime soon.

I'm just glad that it's any SD card you want. Sony making an exclusive memory slot really hurt the Vita.

I've been anxiously waiting for this. I hope the release date is not a long wait. The arcade version has been out for like 2 years in Japan.

I would pay Konami money to release an update for PT that deletes it. I am tired of hearing about this stupid demo that was honestly pretty lame.

Yeah but your post history proves you possess a lovely bland generalized taste while also fact dropping that really you're about as bland of a human being as possible.

PT is actually pretty amazing when you consider the fact of how long it took to be "solved", how few people still have achieved seeing even that ending, and the AMAZING job at executing for such a simple game teaser.
It rightfully earned an earmark in the tome of gaming history. It still sells the idea of a game 1000 x better than the trailer for Kojima's new title in development. Maybe you don't like horror, or maybe it just fits your whole deal as acting like a plain Lay's potato chip sort of human being.

You could plop any Horror film fan down with a copy of the PT demo, and they would get more satisfaction and time out of it than ANY horror movie made in the last decade.

Continue looking for couch co-op games to play with your 4 year old while being a taste maker and trend setter though.

This is how you tell on the internet that someone is sexually frustrated and hasn't been touched by a woman in years.

P.T. was a dumb concept that was so poorly conceived and executed that hardly anyone got through it. Even Konami thought it was an awful idea and canned it and then rightfully canned Kojima because he is an overhyped hacked that was never going to finish the game anyways.

It has the same rando coop as Dark Souls, but also a mode where you can play with a friend throughout the whole campaign.

The playing with a friend thing sounds nice. :O I'm just worried I may not enjoy this game because of its difficulty.

Each developer makes their own app for PlayStation 4. So if there is an issue with a specific app then you'll have to wait for the developer to release an update. I haven't used Hulu on PS4 before but it sounds awful.

Yeah I'm not quite sold on the support for the switch. It could be like say the 3ds where there is loads of cool stuff that is also unique to the switch due to it's different set up etc, (hoping its Nvidia setup etc making it easier to develop for too), but after all these people saying they would support the WiiU then dropping it like a ton of bricks I'm really quite skeptical.

I feel the same way. I don't expect the Switch will sell any better then the Wii U, barely better at best. The Nvidia chip will probably not be enough to attract developers since its a mobile chip that is a couple years old now.

Oh it's definitely a 3DS successor but Nintendo keep muddying the water with the same 'third pillar' crap that they used when they went from GBA to DS in case it didn't catch on, so we'll see.

It's not a 3DS successor though. It doesn't have the battery life to back up being one, and Nintendo has said up front that it is a home console first.

You two idiots literally linked the same video. Bloodborne really doesnt get an improvement. It's maybe a 1 or 2 frame rate difference, and so at best is slightly more consistent. Apparently it has better load times though under Boost.
