There’s been much speculation since the late GDC 2016 rumor Sony were working on a Playstation 4.5 (though some folks are also referring to the console as a Playstation 4K). A new rumor insists that the system won’t release in 2017 like many predicted, but instead will release this holiday season.
The rumor says that the Playstation 4K shall appear on store shelves in time for Christmas (though an exact release date wasn’t revealed). The pricing of the system is the same as what the original Playstation 4 debuted at, $400 US dollars.
There will be a significant upgrade from the base unit, probably providing about 2x the performance over the vanilla model. This still won’t be enough to truly render games at 4K, but will offer enough additional performance for developers to render at higher resolutions, higher and more stable frame rates or potentially better graphical detail.
Also they are talking about VR games at launch such as:
Eve Valkyrie
Robinson
GT Sport
and for the PS4k
Deep Down
GOW4 (we can only assume God of War 4 right?)
“It was stated plainly and with no room for interpretation that there are developers that already have development kits for the PS4K and that they are making games that will directly target and take advantage of the higher specs of the PS4K. It was also stated that these games will in fact work for the PS4 but with considerable sacrifices made to performance.”
