Id like to share my opinion on these half step consoles and why I think they are dumb as hell. I'd also like to see a real honest, good ol' on topic discussion about this, but I'm not holding my breath. ;-)
First of all--I play console games because I feel it gives me the most bang for my buck. I pay one time and then I get to spend my money on games from that point on. I don't have to buy graphics cards or more ram or anything else.
This PS4 pro is the equivalent of buying a new and expensive graphics card. No thank you. That's too much like a PC. If I wanted a PC, I'd get a PC and not a console.
Second--I play console games generally for stability. I don't have to fight with drivers and updates are handled automatically for me.
Developers are surely going to have to re-certify their games multiple times and account for different machine configurations which could only reasonably amount to less stability. (Arkham Knight for the PC anyone???) console games crash enough as it is. Doesn't this just make it worse?
Third--I buy consoles because it allows me to be on somewhat equal footing in multiplayer games.
Graphics configurations DO make a difference. Things like draw distance, resolution and frame rate can really give player edges. I know latency can also play a factor, but why widen the gap further between console players? Arrggghhh
Ultimately--I think this whole thing is a really bad idea. I REALLY don't want a new console every 3 years....arrggghhhh
I'd like to see some opinions on this!
