Is it too late to buy a PS4 Pro before next gen?
- Thread starter Ethifury
- Start date
There is nothing in the world that is called too much Bloodborne.

If any of those PS4 games get remastered, I'm not buying them. It was different with PS3, but with the PS5 it's more of a diminishing returns effect
Yeah, I tried to find a thread similar to mine before I made it, but nothing came close. And that's true Holiday 2020 is almost 2 years away. A lot can happen
Same here. It would be a braindead decision by Sony.
I know. I miss that game so much. I used to get destroyed by Gehrman because I messed up my save where I have no health potions or cash. 😭
Can't I still go fight him if I go through all the bosses again?
I heard. I think I bought it but I need to get a PS4 😭
That's all great games particularly TLOU, God of War, Horizon and Spiderman. You'll get a 60fps mode on a few games on Pro : Like God of War, Shadow of the colossus and you'll get a better framerate (and obviously resolution) in many games.
If you can get the KH3 LE Pro, you'll be able to resell it very easily once PS5 is released. That model is limited and will keep a very good resale value.
And yes you should absolutely play Bloodborne DLC. You'll get less frame-pacing issues and no more framerate drops on Pro. It's definitely smoother on Pro overall.
I just bought a Slim again. I owned an OG PS4 and then a Pro later, and the Pro just didn't do enough for me to justify it so close to the next gen. It's such a marginal bump in power and the next consoles are so close to release. I'm also irrationally assuming that Sony won't continue to be arrogant and the PS5 will have proper backwards compatibility.
I just felt like it made more sense to wait, especially as PS4 Slim's can be had for like $180 online.

It sounds like you want to do it. If you've got the money, go for it!
Get a used ps4 and sell it when ps5 arrives. You won't lose too much money over it

Oh it does for Bloodborne? That's great to hear. And I checked with my local GS and they don't have anymore KH3 Bundles 😭
Thanks for the advice :)

If you have kids or you want to invest a lot of time in Astrobot then... just buy the regular PS4.
Yes. It's a great system and you can always trade it in to help acquire your next-gen system when the time comes.
Also, you don't NEED a 4K TV for it. I think supersampling down to 1080p suites the system better. Most games look a little soft on a 4K set.

People who think PS5 is "just around the corner" are hopped up on goofballs. Wishiful thinking at it's finest.

But doesn't the PS4 Pro run VR significantly better?
I know I don't. I wanted to get it for 4K Blu-ray and streaming.
I agree. I don't think next gen is as fast as others are suggesting.
Getting a pro has no downside, because it will have higher resale value when PS5 launches.
PS4 slim or OG will have little resell value when PS5 drops.

Might as well enjoy the benifits of the pro when there are no real extra costs to do so.
It's a great piece of hardware.
I'd get the Pro in your situation and trade up for the PS5 when it hits in like earliest Q4 2020.
I did the odd mid gen updgrade of selling my old PS4 and getting a X1X, as there arent any big games for PS4 coming out in 2019 that interest me. And i wanted the "best" mid gen upgrade for RDR 2...
I'll only get a PS4 platform again is Death Stranding, Ghost of Thsusimo, TLOU 2 all hits PS4 before PS5 lands.

I'm so excited to play that :P
I was going to buy a 4KTV since they're cheaper at 55" anyway.
Thanks for the advice and I'm a big Anthony Hopkins fan too. Was Westworld S2 good?
No, it's not too late. Next-gen is still nearly two years out. And you'll have tons of great games to catch up on.
I feel like people don't realize how far Fall 2020 actually is. We have ALL of 2019, and almost ALL of 2020.

same here, this gen has had so many hits and so many games left to play, i dont see myself rushing to get the system right away (plus launch titles are always so-so and are really just tech demos until the good games come out).
also, really cool you are getting the kh3 ps4 pro! i have a pro, so i wish i had waited for that edition.

Well sucks. I don't remember hearing much about the 2nd season
I wanted to get that one too
I'll check to make sure.
Pretty much

I don't want another secondhand PS4. My first PS4 was used. And I already owned a Slim. So I might as well get a Pro
