Update: PlayStation 4 Pro comes out next week (November 10), but before we have one in our own home we thought it’d be a good idea to revisit the highs and lows of the system we saw firsthand at Sony’s New York City event.
Sony’s big day has finally come. The PS4 Pro has revealed itself at last, long known as the “PS4 Neo.” And now, we know exactly what this long-rumored, mythologized gaming box is capable of.
Unfortunately … to be honest, it’s not capable of a ton more than the previous generation – it’s more like an HD update to Sony’s high-selling system rather than a full-on sequel.
That said, the big change for people who own a 4K Ultra-HD TV is that the system can natively support games rendered in 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) with HDR, or high dynamic range, technology. But more than just a higher resolution, Sony says that developers will now be able to add additional details – like better ambient lighting, particle effects and more detailed textures – to all games going forward.
