This Is the Best PS4 Pro Sales Pitch You'll See Today

This interview looks scripted like an infomercial.

Mark Cerny is missing what gamers want with the Pro. That is probably 95% want better technical performance and 5%, or less, are interested in improved graphics.

The increased visibility of the touch pad light is not an improvement if the only way to disable it is with tape. An improved DS4 controller would have at least an on/off light switch along with longer battery charge and non glossy action and d pad surfaces.

Looks scripted. Why didn't the interviewer asked Cerny about the 1TB only HD?:/

I'm fine with it it's basically exactly what they said it's a PS4k everyone's just reading too much into it in my opinion! Plus I'm planning I'm using PlayStation Vue is my cable service so it will be the third platform I have in the dwelling wich is perfect! And I'm not going to lie 45% of me is a graphics hug so yeah I'm down just sucks I won't be able to get it by the time Horizon comes out!

@NoCode23 "This interview looks scripted like an infomercial"

Have to agree with that and I think the title is a big reach. Today I can finally say I'm comfortable with the idea of mid cycle refresh but I think the PS4 Pro (the name matches the look of it) should have been way stronger!

I am predicting the same issue with the launch PS4. Game struggled to push 1080p.. games will struggle to hit 4K, native.

@Neolit "Mark Cerny sounded soooo crepy."

I agree, really creepy. Good interview clip if it was Onion News.

You can tell Cerny's the type of guy who lives in his head. He struggles to make eye contact in interviews.

I can just imagine cerny saying something like... "do ya wanna know how I got these scars?"

Everyone thinks Cerny's voice is creepy, but I actually find it relaxing. Or maybe I'm just a serial killer.

But yeah, this isn't a good video. This feels really hollow in the way it's scripted and shot.

I always thought Cerny was British for some reason. I guess i did learn something from that vid.

I think the name is very clever. Everyone likes to be a "pro"

@Utena-mobile: it does improve the CPU (it seems to me people just didn't listen to the actual presentation). the boost is just not nearly as significant as the GPU boost. but then it's pretty limited how much further they can push the AMD jaguar cores. weird that the specs do not state the new clock speed though, maybe they're hoping to overclock it that little bit more by november..

At end of day Sony are releasing a console which is totally optional and in no way does it affect the cycle. Why are people moaning i'm glad about this personally and i'm sure the frame rate and graphic warriors are glad they have an option to improve there console further now too.

The scorpio has too much of an improvement to not affect cycle to me. They say it wont but if it dont then the console is wasted

I'll personally be waiting for PS5 before I get another console. Unless there is a very good trade in deal

If I see more on improvements at 1080p performance then I might jump in as I don't plan to get a 4K TV until the input lag on HDR mode is improved. Most current 4K TVs don't allow HDR when in game mode which means input lag can be 3-4x greater vs SDR game mode. It should change now HDR consoles are coming out as previously HDR was aimed only as AV enthusiasts.

Lol, guess who that director is :') He might as well have said it, Kojima and Cerny are besties

I think the Pro looks ridiculous btw and the lack of UHD blu ray support is a huge oversight for a company like Sony, but Mark Cerny just sold me one.

I remember seeing him live at GDC once and I was so impressed by his knowledge and there was no single doubt that there was a guy up on stage that loves doing what he does. I've seen Jackie T. being mentioned, the marketing manchild, and although he would've nailed the PS4 Pro's presentation, he could've easily been talking about the new Ford 150; Cerny is one of ours though.

Impressed as I was by Cerny I looked up some old interviews of him and I found one where he was introducing the PS4 to the Japanese public. I expected his part being dubbed, but then he started speaking in his calm manner, and it turned out the guy is fluent in Japanese as well! That was the point where admiration turned into full blown jealousy!

Can't even be bothered to watch the video. Yesterday's presentation was a snoozefest and Mark certainly wasn't on the mark.

Agreed. The presentation seemed incredibly somber and totally lacking energy. There was absolutely zero reaction when the form factor was revealed but I guess the audience was all journos. It was all a little underwhelming and of course none of the graphical improvements can be appreciated on the video stream. That is going to be a big challenging for selling 4K HDR. Selling a big improvment in 1080 quality (detail / fps) might actually be easier.

Cerny is way above creepy into downright scary territory. Like if anybody in his neighborhood disappeared I'd be knocking on his door scary.

This guy's voice is ASMR heaven

When the ps4 was unveiled people were saying negative stuff about it but i remember reading an interview(on polygon.com) with cerny that went very deep into the ps4 architecture,it always seemed that the article was missed by a lot of people at the time but i clearly remember cerny saying that they had built stuff into the ps4 that they could switch on 4 or 5 years into the consoles life cycle, im sure they did this awhile back with an update that ice team had worked on and they will do it again next week with hdr... Cant wait to see what tricks pro has up its sleeve or even what ps4 still has to give

So... Why does every question start with the word "so" and why does every answer start with the word "so"?

The brains of PS4, oh dear god!

I could imagine Mark being like this after the launch yesterday!

@Boerewors That blew my mind too, how effortlessly bilingual he is.
