Just curious, I know i read there was annoyance expressed by Bioware about PS4k...

 

ME:A would be the only reason I'd actually update my TV and PS4.

The PS4 4K model may be out sooner than we may think, and cost more than gamers would like, and will run smoothly with PSVR, and will play our current games a little smoothly, but I doubt up and coming games are ready for 4K implementation on consoles. 

 

It'll be a few years. Just like when the PS4 and Xbox One released, it took a few years for all the amazing hit games to come out.

The annoyance was from retired BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk, not anyone currently at BioWare as far as I'm aware.

 

As for what this means for the Neo, I doubt anyone would know. What exactly "Neo ready," means is entirely up in the air at this point. Given that ME:A was probably quite far in development before Sony released details about the Neo, I can't imagine there would be too many enhancements. A higher framerate option maybe, but that's probably the extent (that'll likely be the extent for most games).

 

However, the PS4K is a misnomer actually. Only the highest of high end PCs can run games at 4K, and that's even at reduced framerates. I somehow doubt that Sony could be releasing a mass market machine with the power of a $3000+ PC. I'm sure that if you have a capable PC, you'll be able to run Andromeda at 4K on it, but don't expect 4K console gaming any time soon

If you think the next PS4 upgrade is going to run games at 4K resolution you are deluding yourself. It's a marketing stunt for the most part or aimed at those VR enthusiasts out there.

Interesting, and it's true I don't have the specs for whatever the Neo is going to be.  Simply curious as to how much effort it would take to bump the frostbite engine and associated graphics to 4k.  I suppose we'd be looking at a remaster, though considering the bugs in ME3 were never really steamed out, i guess 4k will have to wait 5-6 years on console.  Regular spending on a gaming PC rig isn't really an interest of mine, but certainly an option.   It'll still look great regardless, but as much as I'd like a 4k screen, i'm not going to buy one without any decent content for it.

Console 4k gaming is at least a generation away.

Console 4k gaming is at least a generation away.

 

Agreed.

 

Cynically/sarcastically speaking --- 2 generations away, considering we aren't even really at 1080p as a standard yet.

Definitely. We're barely scratching 2160p60 on a single GPU with half decent settings in the PC space; realistically even the new GTX 1080 won't be able to do it. It'll likely be the GTX 1080 Ti or an AMD Vega card that first gives 2160p60 Ultra gaming on a single card.

 

Until the the best PC components can do it handily it'll never happen on a cheap console. Remember that the cards PC gamers currently put in their rigs to achieve 2160p60 gaming are twice the price of a console (GTX 980 Ti/R9 Fury-X), and they need at least two to have a hope of maintaining that 60FPS. That's at least four times the cost of a console on graphics cards alone! It won't be happening on a console any time soon.

As far as I understand it, It's just a different graphics setting.  If Bioware is releasing a PC version, then chances are they'll be able to patch MEA with improved graphics if the Neo turns out to be a thing.

That would be an expensive patch. 4K textures are huge files, and publishers have to pay console makers for the bandwidth their patches use.

Though every PS4 game released as of October of this year will need to support both the original PS4 and the NEO, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Neo will release in October. Additionally, games released in the late September window will require a day one patch that updates them to NEO standards. The documents we’ve received explicitly note that devs are allowed to launch NEO-ready games before the NEO itself releases.

 

Sounds like they'll have to support the PS4 NEO, at the very least, and I imagine Microsoft will implement a similar policy for their mid-cycle console upgrade, assuming they actually release one.
