PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro, the new consoles of Sony unload !
PS4 “Slim” and the PS4 “Pro”. Here the two next versions of PlayStation 4 which will constitute the essence of the catalogue of the Japanese for the end of the year. After months of escapes, speculations and assumptions, the Japanese giant benefitted from PlayStation Meeting which was held in New York, yesterday afternoon (local time) to join Microsoft in the race with the renewal of the consoles of living room. To even supplant this last.
The PS4 Pro, to make the transition with the next generation?
Known under the name of “Neo” until now, the PS4 Pro is well the version vitaminized of the console of Sony, able to juggle with - as envisaged the 4K, HDR (wide panel of colors) and of course, the VR. And, especially, it could display 60 images a second in Full HD in the games, constantly. Good-bye with the inappropriate decelerations? To ensure itself some, its official exit will have to be expected on November 10th, at the cost of 400 euros.
According to the technical information given by Sony, the PS4 Pro would always use a chip AMD Jaguar 8 hearts, but surely embarking graphic hearts based on Polaris architecture, undoubtedly very near to that of the last Radeon X-ray 480. What would explain the cravings of the console for the 4K.
Side of the random access memory, 8 Go of GDDR5 remain with the menu and, for storage, a disc of 1 To. The connector industry is composed, it, of three catches USB 3.1, a telegraphic catch network, a module Wi-Fi n/ac and Bluetooth 4.0, of an exit HDMI undoubtedly 2.0 and an optical exit (for the sound).
Remain a question: is very the high definition the fact of a upscalematériel or is it natively assumption of responsibility by the graphics chip of the console?
It is also surprising that Sony does not equip its PS4 Pro with a reader Blu-Ray 4K, whereas he is the creator of this format! For recall, Microsoft proposes of them one in the news Xbox One S. However, the japanese giant reassures the amateurs of video: YouTube and Netflix will be accessible on the Pro, via applications under development, in order to benefit from their contents 4K available.
Two consoles and same games!
Backward compatibility with old games PS4 is of course with the program, and of the patchs will be deployed by the editors to improve returned the latter on the new console of Sony. Cal of Duty: Infinity Wars d' Activision was taken in example during the event: it is one of the games which will be compatible on the two Sony platforms at its exit, this autumn.
The PS4 Slim, for those which lack of space
The PS4 Slim is now announced and will be officially available to 299 euros, starting from September 15th. She has authority to replace the current model, as Xbox One S replaces the first model of console of Microsoft.The plastic hull was completely worked over again. It is rounder and seems less… thick. Sony announces to have reduced the volume of the machine by 30%. Let us hope simply that cooling is with the height! The company did not reconsider the technical details and the potential improvements of Wi-Fi which we evoke in our previous article.
To note, all consoles PS4 of first generation (as well as Slim) will be compatible HDR by the means of the deployment of new a firmwarela next week, so that all the users can exploit this technology perhaps present on their TV last generation.
Certain games could exploit this function to inform the player about the health of his character for example. New DualShock 4 remains compatible Bluetooth but, also, usable into telegraphic, would be connected in USB to the console. Announced price: 59 euros.
Finally a support to maintain the consoles with the vertical (20 euros) and a helmet wireless telegraphy (180 euros) should also be able quickly to supplement the park of accessories.
