Rumor: PS4.5 to have twice as powerful GPU, Deep Down & GoW 4 launch titles
索尼正式承认在开发PS4.5！但遗憾不会亮相E3

　　今年4月份时外媒突然爆料称索尼正在开发PS4主机的升级版PS4.5或代号PS Neo等等称呼，而且还泄露了机器的硬件配置。后来这个传闻还得到了权威媒体Eurogamer的证实。今天好消息是今天索尼官方终于正式承认了PS4.5的开发了。

　　索尼互动娱乐CEO Andrew House向英国《金融时报》Finalncial Times 确认PS4.5的确在开发中。不过遗憾的是，PS4.5的发售日和价格现在还没有公开，并且也不会在今年的E3上公布。但是价格方面会比现在的主机PS4价值349美元贵很多。

　　Andrew House表示PS4.5是为核心玩家和那些拥有4K电视玩家准备的，PS4.5将和PS4一起并存，并补充后者的不足。他强调整个世代都会销售PS4.5和PS4，而不会因为有了PS4.5，而停产PS4。

　　至于两个版本有何区别，Andrew House表示所有的游戏都会支持PS4，而对于PS4.5 他说期待所有或者说大部分游戏也能支持PS4.5。

　　既然索尼憋不住了，承认了PS4.5的存在，那么传闻中的微软新主机看来也是真的了。根据传闻，微软准备了两个新主机，一个是Xbox One Slim版，另外一个是重磅升级版。Slim主机比现有的XB1尺寸小40%，内置电源，而加强版主机理论性能已经超过了PS4.5。

　　还有《金融时报》不是免费观看报导的网站，所以完整内容看不到，所以给了新闻链接也得需要付钱观看。



PS4K information (~2x GPU power plus clock increase, new CPU, price, etc)

OsirisBlack on NeoGAF (Verified by moderators): Related info from a meeting we had yesterday was waiting for it to be approved before posting.

Price is currently $399.99 they were discussing a better CPU which would raise the price to $499.99 we were guaranteed the price will be no higher than $499.99 (He mentioned the CPU upgrade quite a bit almost as if they haven't really decided on a final spec could be a pricing issue.) also there is currently no plan for any type of trade in program for current PS4 users but that could change.

They stated that the GPU is twice as powerful as standard PS4 and much faster. They did not say exactly how fast but that is was running at a higher clock speed while being much smaller than the original.

It will have a 4k blu ray player and will upscale games that are not natively 4k.

Also there was talk of some sort of VR lounge for the media player app which is supposed to be getting a substantial upgrade.

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.

It was also made very clear that current games would not be getting any type of performance upgrades by being played on the system and any benefits to older games would come via patch per game and per developer. When asked if this was going to happen the response was "Its a possibility but doubtful with the exception of a handful of games."

We were also given a list of games that will be available at launch that will directly take advantage of the PS4K where the differences are and I will quote him "Significant."

• EVE: Valkyrie (PlayStation VR)
• Robinson: The Journey (PlayStation VR)
• Gran Turismo Sport (PS4, PlayStation VR)
• Deep Down (PS4)
• GOW4 (presumably God of War 4) (PS4)

There were more games on the list but these are the ones that stood out to me.

PlayStation 3.50 System Software Update Out Tomorrow

Our next major system software update for PS4, version 3.50 (codenamed MUSASHI), is out tomorrow!

While we outlined some of the features last month before our beta program started, we wanted to give a more detailed look at the update and share some new info. We’re making it easier to play together with friends, adding the ability to appear offline, and more.

New Social Features

Appear Offline

On your Profile tab, we’ve added a new option called ‘Online Status.’ From here, you can choose to ‘Appear Offline.’ This could be useful if you want to play games or watch movies without your friends knowing you’re online. You can designate if you would like to appear offline when you log-in or at any time from your Profile, or by holding down the PS Button on DualShock 4 to bring up the Quick Menu.

Friend Online Notification

Now you can choose to get notified when your friends come online. To receive notifications, select a player on your friends list, press Options, and select ‘Notify When Online.’

User Scheduled Event

On the Events tab, we’re adding the ability to schedule gameplay sessions with your friends. Just select ‘Create Event,’ and you’ll be able to make an invitation for an upcoming gameplay session. Choose the day, time, game, and send it off to your friends. When your event starts, users who registered will automatically be added to a party so you can start playing right away.

You can also share an event to a group, or a community that you’re a member of. Once shared, the event will be sent as a message, or posted to a community wall, and members can register from there

Play Together

This feature allows all members of a Party to see what each person is playing so that you can easily join a friend’s game, or start a new game together.

Report: PS4.5 codenamed NEO, includes upgraded CPU, GPU and RAM
外媒曝光更多 PS4 强化版主机「NEO」消息 将提供「基本」与「强化」两种运作模式

　　美国游戏网站 Giant Bomb 18 日刊出一篇报导，透露了更多谣传中的加强版 PS4 主机的规格信息。 消息指出 PS4 将采用频率提升的 CPU、处理单元加倍与频率提升的 GPU 与带宽提升容量不变的内存，今年 10 月以后上市的游戏都必须同时支持既有与强化版 PS4 主机的运作模式。

　　报导中表示，根据 “来自多方的消息来源” 确认了更多关于强化版 PS4 主机的细节。 该项目的内部代号为「NEO」，将提升处理芯片运作频率，强化 GPU 与提升内存带宽，规格如下：

　　NEO 的 CPU 核心同样采用既有的 Jaguar（美洲豹）核心，运作频率提高约 30%。 GPU 采用经过改良的 GCN 架构，运算单元规模加倍，频率提高约 14%。 单纯就处理单元与频率提升的数字计算，理论处理效能预估为原本的 2.3 倍。 内存同样采用 8GB GDDR5，但带宽提升约 24%。

　　消息指出，从今年 10 月开始，所有 PS4 游戏都必须支持既有 PS4 主机的「基本模式（Base Mode）」与加强版 PS4 主机的「NEO 模式（NEO Mode）」。 在 NEO 模式下，游戏将能运用 NEO 经过强化的硬件规格（与额外开放的 512MB 内存），提供更高、更稳定的画面更新率以及更佳的画质。 NEO 会支持 4K 分辨率输出，但不会强制要求游戏一定要以原生 4K 分辨率运作。

　　从目前取得的文件得知，官方建议游戏在 NEO 模式下提供 4K 分辨率输出，开发者可以自由决定要如何达成，包括以较低原生分辨率升频至 4K 的方案。 官方强制要求游戏在 NEO 模式下的画面更新率必须高于或等于基本模式，避免开发者过度偏向画质的强化而牺牲画面的流畅度。

　　NEO 将不会取代既有的 PS4 主机，两者将共享相同的软件阵容、操作接口、周边支持、在线服务。 不会有 NEO 专用的软件，开发者也不可以在游戏中提供只有 NEO 才有的游玩选项或解锁内容，或是在 PSN 联机时将既有 PS4 玩家与 NEO 玩家区分开来，必须维持一致的平台体验。

　　已经推出的游戏必须另行制作 NEO 模式的更新，才能在 NEO 上获得效果的提升。

　　虽然文件中以 10 月为强制支持 NEO 模式的起点，但目前还没有关于 NEO 上市时间与价格的具体信息。 文件中亦未提及关于 PlayStation VR 虚拟现实装置的支持，因此无法得知之前传闻的「强化版 PS4 主机不用额外的外接盒就能连接 PS VR 头戴装置」是否有所根据。 不过合理推测 PS VR 游戏在 NEO 模式下将能受益于额外的处理效能，提供更佳的画质或是更高的流畅度。

　　目前 SIE 尚未响应 Gaint Bomb 对此事的求证，相关消息并未经过官方确认。





Sources: The Upgraded PlayStation 4 is Codenamed NEO, Contains Upgraded CPU, GPU, RAM

Earlier this year, rumors began to fly that Sony would release an upgraded version of the PlayStation 4, a console often called the PS4.5 or the PS4K by fans and press. Today, multiple sources have confirmed for us details of the project, which is internally referred to as the NEO. At time of publishing, Sony has not returned our request for comment.

The NEO will feature a higher clock speed than the original PS4, an improved GPU, and higher bandwidth on the memory. The documents we've received note that the HDD in the NEO is the same as that in the original PlayStation 4, but it's not clear if that means in terms of capacity or connection speed. Starting in October, every PS4 game is required to ship with both a “Base Mode” which will run on the currently available PS4 and a “NEO Mode” for use on the new console.



Games running in NEO mode will be able to use the hardware upgrades (and an additional 512 MiB in the memory budget) to offer increased and more stable frame rate and higher visual fidelity, at least when those games run at 1080p on HDTVs. The NEO will also support 4K image output, but games themselves are not required to be 4K native.

The NEO will not supplant the current PS4, but will exist alongside of it and use the same user environment. The PS4 and NEO will use the same PSN store, connect to the same online communities, and offer the same user experience, so expect to see the same cross media bar that you’re used to. Players will be able to retain all of the purchases they made on the PS4.

Sony seems committed to keeping the NEO and the original PS4 player bases connected. As such, there will be no NEO-only games, and Sony will not let developers separate NEO users from original PS4 players while playing on PSN. Likewise, Sony explicitly and repeatedly states that developers cannot offer exclusive gameplay options or special unlockables for NEO players—so don’t expect NEO owners to get a level editor or a special Rocket League car that you won’t have access to on your original PS4. That said, so long as both systems have the same feature, the NEO can run an improved version. A local co-op game that features four players on the base PS4 could offer an eight player co-op mode on the NEO, for instance.

Sony PS4 upgrade to include UltraHD and richer graphics

Sony is developing an upgraded version of its PlayStation 4 gaming console that will offer ultra-high definition 4K resolution and richer graphics, according to the unit’s chief executive, as the company strives to maintain its lead over rivals Microsoft and Nintendo.

The plan marks the first time that Sony has improved the processing power of a PlayStation midway through the usual console cycle, as it looks to keep up with the more rapid pace of product launches in the smartphone and PC sectors.

Andrew House, president and global chief executive of Sony Interactive Entertainment, told the Financial Times that the “high-end PS4” would be more expensive than the current $350 version.
“It is intended to sit alongside and complement the standard PS4,” he said. “We will be selling both [versions] through the life cycle.”

The new console, which is codenamed “Neo”, will target hardcore gamers, he said, as well as consumers with a 4K television set looking for more high-resolution content.

Anticipation intensified ahead of next week’s E3 gaming conference in Los Angeles, where Microsoft is also believed to be planning to launch an updated Xbox One console.

However, in a move that may disappoint some fans, Mr House said that Sony would not be unveiling its new console next week and refused to say when or at what price the unit would go on sale. “We want to ensure we have a full range of the best experiences on the new system that we can showcase in their entirety,” he said.

Nonetheless, he downplayed concerns that the move would cause interoperability problems between the old and new PS4 hardware.

“All games will support the standard PS4 and we anticipate all or a very large majority of games will also support the high-end PS4,” he said.

Both PS4 variants will also support its forthcoming virtual reality headset, which will go on sale later this year.

Developers should also see a “seamless” experience between the two versions, he said, requiring a “small but manageable” amount of extra work when creating a game for both.

Mr House did not go as far as Xbox chief Phil Spencer in saying that consoles would become more like PCs, seeing regular improvements to their components rather than jumping between generations as they have for the last 30 years, he saw an opportunity to deliver “some additional benefits” to both consumers and developers within what is usually a five to six year lifespan.

“The consumer is attuned to a different cadence of innovation in technology thanks in great part for the upgrades cadence on mobile phones or PCs,” Mr House said.

As with the current PS4 and its forthcoming VR headset, the new console will be “standalone profitable at the time that we launch it”, Mr House said. In past generations, Sony subsidised the cost of the console in the hopes of turning a profit through software sales. The investment required to develop the new PS4 is already accounted for in Sony’s latest financial results, he added.

索尼最新PS4游戏阵容宣传片 四款大作齐亮相

   

　　索尼官方放出了最新的PS4游戏阵容宣传片，在这段短短的视频中，出现了四款在主机平台上由PS4独占的大作，他们分别是《最后的守护者》、《地平线：期待黎明》、《无人深空》和《GT Sport》。

　　除了《地平线：期待黎明》之外，其他三款游戏都确定将在2016年内发售。比起《战神》、《死亡搁浅》这些作品来说，这几款游戏显得离我们更近。
