all right sony has invited press to an event on September seventh in New York City to announce obviously the PlayStation neo this is the step up console from the ps4 which was dubbed PS 4.5 nerdiest name I didn't do it our newest name you do it no it's not your fault not my fault he s five it's not the PS five or point two five could be it feels like it leave it like a point three seven something like that so check out the rumored specs or respects for the PlayStation neo 4k graphics for games in Ultra HD 4k blu-rays it will write it will rock a 2.1 gigahertz AMD presser processor with Jaguar cores per hour which I guess we'll just that's like the cat like yet quite leopard kors right not we're not there ya know 8 gigabytes of gddr5 memory which is pretty good well 16 would've been better support for all current games existing on the ps4 right now so you're not going to buy this thing and not be able to play a game that had been on ps4 and vice versa I was super worried about that thanks for clearing that up well it's a big deal right it's a big deal like people like oh I'm not gonna be able to play a ps4 neo game on my ps4 know right don't worry they're all going to work yeah the catch though is that PS 4.5 / neo games probably going to look and perform better okay so there's that the events coming up there's really not a ton to talk about with that just because we've known about this for so many months going in my biggest question is will this impact / improve PlayStation VR and I feel like that's something they're holding back the messaging has been a little cloudy yeah whether or not they're going to do that so for me don't forget PlayStation VR comes out October 13th what's that going to look like is this going to be really the system you want to play it on maybe not so much on standard ps4 especially the specs for oculus rift and H SI vive or I think considerably higher than what a PlayStation 4 if it I support the peace absolutely our way higher yeah so you would imagine maybe that ps4 point five catches up it's still nowhere near the modern state-of-the-art GPUs but maybe it narrows the gap just a little bit yeah and and you got to say if they do make it you know slightly better is that going to be now immediately or develops going to take a while right to implement that extra VR horsepower and maybe Lee a couple years down the road before you start see differences between the two totally and there's there's a lot to unpack here it's not something we can do in a few minutes we have here but but the way you got to think about it is sony basically told all the developers who make video games they said look we got this more powerful thing coming out in a couple months they're kind of decree that everything that comes out i believe it's october or September anything that comes out that month and beyond must support both sort of spec sets right so like this games got to work a certain way I'm neo and it's got to work a certain way on ps4 vanilla I'm curious they can get it to actually make regular games who cares what VR make regular ps4 games look really good right there's some like trick things like backfill that yeah yeah I do what a place a pc gaming rig can do right and and just you know up the and and make it better with 4k obviously sure take advantage of the fact that stuff work a resolution instead of just you know make it look exactly the same as ps4 will see how it all shakes out September 7th not that far away few questions are coursing same days the iphone 7 thing I swear to god these guys just want us dead which one's more exciting games I thought they face is over that's the less what's the lesser of two evils right there someone Jerry wants to know if why should he should he buy neo he doesn't own a 4k TV which is a relevant question yeah it's another question I think you're still gonna you are still going to get graphical improvements on your regular TV like that's something that it's tough to sort of suss out you know I think we come out so we can test them yet with that won't until we can actually look at that yeah for sure um you know odds are you're gonna get better performance are coming from a ps4 to a neo that doesn't necessarily mean you have to get so what will sort of be able to suss that out once we get our hands on it but the on paper the reason you'd want to upgrade is to get that graphical jump up from a ps4 plus possibly future-proof yourself if you do one day want to buy their evoke a TV yeah we all do xbox oriented gestures to agent wants to know if you guys think Microsoft's right now hyping up their plans for people he doesn't want to go to xbox one s but he I guess he's thinking about the one after that for next year right then Nick wants to know if he should switch from PlayStation if the only Asian question read those are machines so ever floats your boat y alex you know switching consoles that's kind of to you you got to go by like the value and the games really for me it's the games like if the games that you want to play are on one platform go to that platform and if all your friends are on one platform that's another big exactly being able to play with them with your friends is a big deal so most people like to play on the same platform their friends are on ah when it comes to what was the first one if xbox is ramping up there if they are try not high pop is by putting out like yeah hey we're doing this but next year we have this bigger system yeah it's definitely strange that xbox one s kind of was was out with the knowledge that Scorpio is on the horizon I think their hand was forced a little bit in terms of having to be transparent about what their roadmap looks like nevertheless any kind of publicity for those guys these days in this generation of consoles is probably good they have not been able to sell as many consoles as Sony ass so yeah we're gonna do a good segue right I mean Scorpio seems to me like you know the question mark here because it's still the one nobody's defined yet right and that really is the way it's sort of shaping up right the landscape is Scorpios coming out late next year the current xbox one is likely going to drop in price playstation 4 neo seems like it's going to be a thing this year so it's like well how does it all you know kind of shake out yeah i guess another question we're getting a lot is who should buy the xbox one s and Donna said no nobody well they did it the thing is we were talk about HDR before so the xbox one is is currently the cheapest 4k blu-ray player hmm so this happened the ps3 it was the cheapest blu-ray player right and it was by far the best at the time and it helped really make blu-ray decent you know relevant format for a few years I think Xbox one s doesn't really have that same sort of opportunity just because streaming is so much more popular now than discs but if you're that guy that just bought a 4k TV and you want to have the best you know video quality experience the xbox one s is less expensive by you know 7,500 bucks then the other 4k blu-ray player by Samsung it's out right now so that's that's one reason sure but it's a pretty niche reason it's pretty nice reason and you know you and I had certainly an interesting time trying to get it to work the right way took a really long time to get HDR to play right yeah even even things as simple as like getting that 4k resolution to first sort of show up yeah involved a bunch of updating and unplugging and handshaking what not playing in the settings menu something there it's tough to comprehend you're gonna have to dive a little deep it's not very user-friendly right um ah you know someone brought up before about HDR in games and is that a thing it is but Xbox is only going to have three games that support it kind of out of the gate and I believe that's forza horizon three gears of war 4 and then next year again called scalebound so that's three games that are going to support HDR is that worth the new TV the new xbox probably not unless you have a kind of disposable income yeah yeah so think about it like that Xbox one s weird kind of system it's the best-looking one they've ever made there you go give you that so sexy little box if you're into that so yeah that's where we're at any other questions yeah agent wants to post you guys with so much news about the future there's always room or speculation sure going on who do you think would be the victor if we can declare one I don't it's a little early and does it really matter in the long term future of gaming well I think it does if your look to see like where these companies go next are they talking about a victor between xbox ops project scorpio and neo uh yeah let sounds like they're targeting the future yeah well I mean look you gotta look at the way it is now these are not brand new consoles they're simply step up consoles so ps4 right now is the better selling console in my opinion it is the better experience and they do seem to have the better library of games so I would imagine that trend would would follow through in the next you know four or five years however long we're headed with this sort of uh you know lifespan but the wild card and Scorpios advantage is the fact that's coming out later they can give it better specs right and they can tell the developers like take advantage of these better specs and maybe we'll that manifest more NVR right exactly which is a big part of this and which is such a crazy you know resource hog yeah I like to make a good VR experience requires you know crazy good hardware so yeah I think at least there's that that xbox is later release date with Scorpio gives them a potential advantage on paper for sure I think they are a little further out yeah intern you know I think calling it a holiday 2017 thing is sort of wishful thinking I hope it comes out then and it sees the light of day then but if you're betting man no holiday 2017 I think it would really put them at a disadvantage if they weren't able to meet that um so so I'm out no matter what I'm hoping it comes out even if it doesn't have a fourth wall it doesn't matter that bring that thing out David about how much do you think the it's a question from earlier but it bridges over now somebody wants to get a television that would take advantage of the 4k gaming and they'd be if HDR color and get into their how much do you think they'd be spending about now they wanted a TV well there's there's a huge range so right now my favorite TV for the money is a vizio p series that starts at 1,000 bucks for 50 inches and it's 4k it's got both HDR formats great picture the very best picture though is OLED which is a lot more expensive LG's OLED TV but man that thing is good I mean it's so good you're like yeah maybe I can't afford 25 maybe I should remortgage yes so the 65 inch hole is between you know five and six thousand dollars yeah now for the for this generation and spectacular picture but way out of most people's price range so let's we were buying LED lcds that visit was really good you know like the vizio there's a samsung that's pretty decent a sony that i reviewed recently to go on the website you'll see them but yeah I mean all those TVs are as future-proof as they can be they've got the hardware there the hardware still ahead of the software the TV shows and movies at this point and the games you just cited only three HDR games so you know if you buy one HTV gon be set yeah I mean and also I feel like we always have to kind of like pepper in these disclaimers xbox one s right now you cannot play native 4k games that is not a thing all that's happening is an upscaling yeah so keep that in the back your mind one other question we got a bit more kind of it's a just but a good joke um do you give you own a tube TV I actually still do because it's the only one that my playstation 2 will connect to my parents have more than they should in their house Wow yeah they have lighting negative I think they have to yeah and I've tried it's just a lost cause with them just one day just take it up to the curve and don't tell them it's heavy don't you get out hey they are man they've got like a 40 inch and that's not light no 40 inch to that yeah you she right yeah that's Mason crazy without the largest television made i'm pretty sure i was like turning into a fish tank or something yeah i know that thing that's that that's it that's you can't even get that out of the house right you just shut the lake house we have to like start sawing it and happen now taking it out by pieces that's a beast it's crazy you
