11 Things We Learned From PlayStation Meeting 2016

5. Multiplayer Games Will Run At The Same FPS On All PS4 Consoles

It was revealed briefly after the meeting ended that multiplayer modes won't have an FPS boost on PS4 Pro to ensure that players with the new platform don't have an advantage over those using the original PS4.

It's a nice idea in principle, though seems to be holding the Pro back from realising its full potential. Plus, as the Pro is less likely to have frame rate dips, surely it's still going to have a natural advantage over the regular PS4 anyway?

PC gamers willingly play games knowing that someone with a stronger machine will have an advantage, so what's the problem doing it with the two PS4 models? What a shame.
