Although it is more powerful and supports 4K gaming and streaming, it cannot play 4K Blu-Rays: https://twitter.com/thisisFoxx/status/773617609547849728
Has anyone been able to compare PS VR with Oculus / Vive? How big of a deal is the pixel density? Any noticeable lag?
How is this going to work? Are there going to be games for it that won't run on the cheaper version? Will they design games for this and simply cut out graphics features to make it run on the slower version? Will companies really invest the money in making two versions that both work well?
Wasn't the whole point of consoles you wouldn't have to upgrade every couple of years?
Although the console supports 4K, it does not support Ultra HD (4K) Blu-ray. I feel like this was a large missed opportunity. I was on the fence about upgrading before I heard this, now I don't think I will.
I wonder why they advertise so much for 4k resolutions, when they still run with a 60degree fov on 30fps with resolutions under 2k. This is madness.
I'm going against the grain here and say that not being able to play 4K Blu-Rays isn't as big of a deal as some are making it out to be. I'm someone that bought into the 'death of the physical media' era so the fact that games and streams can go 4k is enough for me. I have not and do not own a single blu-ray disc and I don't ever plan to. I consider this in the 'bells and whistles' category. It may be good to have but is probably something that I will never use.
