Nearly. If you hypothetically had next to no packet loss too. A 100GB UHD Blu Ray disc has a data rate of 128mbps. Netflix's 4K stream is about 10 times less than that, at the moment.

It's two fold really devs will be an issue as some may just cater for ps4 gen1 (may as well call it that) and others may code poorly for gen2 so ends up a mess for gen1 and 2. Multi options and multiple settings are what my pc is for I didn't buy into consols for this. I'm happy with both xbone and ps4 how they are now I have my pc if I want to tinker and over all I find most developer lazy when given lots of options and configuration choices. I imagine there will be gem titles to have too though so won't be all bad. Uncharted 4 proved ps4 has more than enough power to show a beautiful game
Wonder if Devs can / will charge for the "Pro" patch.....in which case it may well be worth their while
Upto 128mbps, but it will be interesting to know whether any current UHD BR's are actualy getitng anywhere near that rate anywhere consistantly
The problem is that while a very small % of the population is on faster than that, the average is still something ludicrously low like 8mbps - which is the official connection speed not actual, so more like 1/2 that.
Because of this no service is going to bother streaming original copy video and sound for years if not decades (in the UK) because such a small % will be able to recieve it anyway.

From October all ps4 games have to have a pro patch/version according to Sony. Not sure if that includes download only games though.

Thought is was they just had to support the Pro nothing about adding extra features.
Certainly more consistently than my Virgin Media connection at 9pm on a Sunday!

Shopto do finance and bnpl (with paypal credit).[Bit of a minefield though, but if you want it paypal will give £400 credit to almost anyone and if you spend over £150 you don't have to pay it for 4 months interest free. I wouldn't bother to be honest, save up now.

What a truly amazing precedent, this industry is starting to really bore me though, not sure i care anymore tbh.

It's kind of off putting to know that whilst a game might be able to run at 60fps, it will be kept lower for multi players games to keep things in line across both PS4s.

You will still get resolution, detail improvements, more stable framerates in multiplayer.
Your just not going to see one running 30 and one running 60.

Providing the game runs 60fps in the first place that's fine. Like BF1 going from 900p 60fps to 1080p 60fps. That I would be happy with.
Destiny being kept 30fps on PS4 pro for example would be pretty annoying knowing it would be capable of more.

still going to get dips well below 60fps on the pro due to CPU bottleneck.
especially in a game like BF.
This is what puts me off. The Pro would be so much more exciting a prospect if it were Sony's new console with developers making games specifically for it. I'd have paid more than the asking price for that. Of course that would have been market suicide! Still, whatever we get on the Pro, either due to hardware, coding or gameplay issues like the one you mentioned, is going to be crippled by the PS4. That and the lack of UHD drive takes the shine off for me.
It's not always easy to just bump from 30 to 60fps as it depends on the engine used.
Indeed. It was kind of shocking to learn that Horizon: Zero Dawn's engine is coded for 30fps and can't go any higher.

Yep I'm sure it's not as easy as an .ini file change. I just mean from a hardware perspective.
I think I'm the only person that is really not bothered about 30fps. A locked 30fps seems smooth enough to me. It's good not being fussy...
I never used to be bothered either but after playing Doom, there's always this little niggle I get when playing some other games now - what would this be like at 60fps...
