Hopefully that means a better game.

I don't think the thread is going to get comical. This needed to happen. And this is the best time to do it. Sony is no longer selling PS3's like they care about it. They don't really care at this point. Their fundamental business model is now almost totally PS4, Pro, and VR.

Show season is upon us. It will get comical. No doubt about it.

I want my Vita version back!

(even if it was literally a "roster update" only because I'd like to continue franchises on there)

Honestly, I don't know how many people were devoted to the PS3 version on the dev team, but you would have to think patching, deadlines, PS3 only art and optimization, et cetera has to be a big time consumer even if it was only a couple people involved.

Nevermind the aspects of the engine that didn't update well because of the original PS3 code.

This thread is going to get comical real fast...........


Like WTNY said good news for us PS4 guys. Sucks for those on the PS3 side, but this was going to happen sooner rather than later.

Yep.

People sitting themselves up for disappointment later on.

Do you guys think if the PS4 Pro did not exist they would have still dropped the PS3 version? Also besides possible development time taken away from the PS4 version because of the PS3 version is there any other reason why the PS3 version really was hurting the PS4 version?

Like for example is the reason why the player models have not been greatly improved on the PS4 version because they had to use the same player models from the PS3 version?

I think sales, or lack thereof, is the reason that the PS3 version was canned.

In my personal opinion, I don't think the development of the PS3 version was really hurting the development of the PS4 version.

I think the reason there hasn't been new player models is that changing the player models would mean that other things have to be re-done, most notably, all the animations in the game. And I don't think that is a small undertaking to re-do all the animations in the game.

Sorry PS3 guys... But really hoping we see major improvements being PS4 only now!

I'm talking player models, uniforms, etc.

To all those saying they still have to develop two versions: Isn't the PS4 and PS4 Pro software exactly the same? My understanding is that it's basically a single piece of software that is optimized for one console (Pro).

I mean, if every developer had to produce two versions of every PS4 game from here on out, seems like things would get ugly for Sony really quick.

Yeah I don't see a reason the code would be different unless they were making a feature only for ps pro which wouldn't make a ton of sense.

I think we should stop assuming PS3 being dropped means PS4 Pro will be utilized until we actually hear confirmation that it is happening. Kind of stuff that leads to the normal Show bickering every year. Just my two cents.

PS4 Pro support is mandatory for all ps4 games released after October. SDS must support it. It's up to them how they use the extra 2.3x GPU power.

To expand on this, in order for a game to be approved by Sony, the PS4 Pro version must look or run objectively better than the PS4 version. I believe developers will accomplish this with a resolution boost. Some developers, like the Tomb Raider people, will offer modes such as 1080p/60 fps and "4k"/30 fps (It's not really 4K, but an advanced upscaling technique that gets it close).

Based on the interviews with Mark Cerny, the hardware designer for Sony, developers probably won't alter base assets between the PS4 and PS4 Pro versions. The upgrades will be resolution, performance and/or graphical effects (such as better depth of field, particles, etc.).

Re: MLB The Show 17 PlayStation 4 Only (No PlayStation 3 Version)

I can recall a developer saying last year that player models wiuld be redone in 2019 or at least thats what they had planned. They also said that if they changed the player models they would have to redo all the animations in the game. I suppose they could tweak player models again like they did in '11, but i wouldnt get my hopes up about player models being much different for next years game.

I wonder any chance if the fellas have known since last year there wouldn't be a PS3 version this year and they've spent all this time redoing the animations with new players models?

Wishful thinking I'm sure.

This will be good news for some. This will also bring about lofty expectations.

And better player models!!! No more zombie eyes hopefully.
