so whether or not you wanted a new one Sony is selling a new suit PlayStation 4 called the ps4 Pro on November 11th for $400 it's got a 1 terabyte hard drive inside and also better hardware so you might be asking yourself why do this well on paper the ps4 pro should be able to display a higher resolution better frame rates improve performance and better textures but which of these enhancements again gets depends on the developer because the downloadable patch is required in order for games to support it and we were only able to test a few games side-by-side on identical 4k OLED TVs to see if we could notice a significant difference between standard and ps4 pro updated games for the most part it was really difficult to tell the last of us remastered barely looked any different though we did see better frame rates and crisper visuals when we compared two versions of shadow of mordor for black ops 3 which is another game available before launch there was absolutely nothing that stood out as enhanced now this is side by side we had a really good setup for that the most dramatic difference is really when you activate HDR in a game because it can really make the contrast and brightness and the variances and color pop they really jump at it off the screen I think that's gonna be the most noticeable difference for most people at launch ps4 pro will have 30 or so games with patches and 45 by the end of 2016 game sold with pro enhancements have a little badge on their box that says ps4 Pro enhanced so we're very eager to see how well all of these games will perform moving forward then of course there's psvr PlayStation 4 Pro is fully compatible so don't worry about anything like that but a ps4 game needs a patch to support better performance at the pro can offer at review time we were only able to test out one game and that was battlezone which did seem to improve the overall fidelity but it really wasn't as much as I was hoping it would do okay so real world stuff should you actually go out and buy a Playstation 4 Pro if you already own a Playstation 4 probably not we just haven't seen enough compelling mind-blowing enhancements in performance to warrant a purchase now if you don't have a ps4 yet this is likely the one to get but it's still tough to recommend against getting an original PlayStation 4 because it's only three hundred dollars and it can likely be bundled with a game for free now if you already have a 4k HDR TV or plan to get one in the near future that extra hundred dollars you're gonna spend on the pro is probably worth it making it a much easier pill to swallow
