>ps4 pro

I know nier automata does, has improved res and uses pc max settings, 60fps as opposed to 60 with some drops. Kingdom hearts 2.5 does as well. Games which don't support it directly may benefit from boost mode.

Anyway, this thread is going to result in plenty of console wars because anything not pc gaming related causes many users here to shit the bed.

PS4 is a more interesting choice due of being able to play the original versions of japanese console games, without any of localization fuckery. Rarely an option on PC from my experience.

Also I heard the Pro model is quite prone in overheating/sound issues, but I dunno the extent of it.

Are future generations doomed to have a 'slightly upgraded version' with an insane price mark up?

>>13949789

There are options for pc games, not always in english and not often legal. Frankly if you don't support small Japanese devs you are a piece of shit, but that's how it goes for a lot of people here.

>>13949812

It's not a big price difference.

>>13949834

Was the price difference not ~$150? Or was I a retard and opened my mouth too soon?

Where is my 4.05 cfw?

>>13949844

I've seen PS4's around 175 and pros around 275-300. It's not hard to find these things and the actual engineering of the ps4 is very nice. I do not believe the used status matters, the hardware is underclocked compared to its intended stock speed and the cooling is sufficient so I can see them lasting plenty long.

I got the original second hand to save money. I have zero problems with it (other than the paid online, fuck that).

it's a 4k machine that can't output at 4k 90% of the time. make of that what you will.

>Rarely an option on PC from my experience.

Yeah, I dunno what's up with all these PC ports of Japanese games not having a Japanese language option. Unless it's region locked?

But most do?

Shit, several of them even have text or fan patches.

How about actual pc games

The fuck are you on about? If they fuck shit up on the PS4 with shitty translation and no dual audio, you either learn Nip and import or you play a shitty version of the game. If they do the same on PC, consumers can at least fix that shit.

>Thinking the niGGers ever left

Have they fixed the potential shit-the-bed issue with the power supply? And the damn thing sounding like a jet engine?

I heard the PS4 pro doesn't offer much performance boosts at al and ends up breaking some games entirely

>paying microjew for anything

Sony is cancer but so is Micro$oft and Nintendo

>niGGers

Blade pls go

>>13949789

My PS4 Pro sounds like a fucking jet engine at times. It hasn't overheated but it's definitely not fucking quiet.

>>13950978

There is some fuckery with Japanese VA unions or something, and unless it's specifically in the contract they can't have the Jap VA released outside Japan or something.

>>13951028

Dont forget the infinity next shilling

>>13952536

Can be fixed by buying PS4 Pro 2.0 :^)

>>13953598

I keep hearing people talk about how loud their Pros are, and I have to wonder what they're playing because mine is whisper quiet even in the middle of summer. I was expecting EDF5 to cause these "jet engine" sounds everyone describes, but still nothing.

>>13953617

Yeah, I don't know where this myth of Japanese text in almost all PC ports of JP games is coming from. In my experience, the only games I've noticed that actually did that are the Senran games, Yomawari, and EDF 4.1. The rest is culturalization only, even adding western censorship to the Japanese version like in Criminal Girls.

>>13953666

>and I have to wonder what they're playing

They could just have it stuffed into some cabinet with no airflow, that would make it need to work harder to cool down.

>>13953666

Based on what I've seen (and heard) I don't think there are "quiet" Pro's even though some people claim they managed to get one. It just depends on the games you are playing and whether or not you're upscaling to 4k. Uncharted 4 for instance seems to make any model PS4 sound like a jet engine.

Some people also just don't register noise near as much as others.
