PS4 Pro: Everything We Know So Far

1. There Won't Be Any PS4 Pro Exclusive Games

Any time Sony gives an interview about the Pro and any time they're discussing it publicly, they'll reiterate that the Pro isn't meant to change the PS4 ecosystem - it's meant to fit within it. That means you can play every existing and upcoming PS4 game on the Pro, Slim, or 2013 models, without any problems.

The only difference is that the Pro will render those games in a higher quality - but this won't change the gameplay in any way. Initially, there were fears that the Pro's extra power would give owners of the console an unfair advantage in online multiplayer games, but this notion was quickly quelled. Christian Gyrling, a programmer at Naughty Dog, came out and said that there's "no framerate advantage" for Pro users, which keeps the playing field even.

That means if you buy a Pro, you're making your games look prettier - and not much else. If graphics are important to you, then it's a no-brainer, but if you're happy with your current box then you're not missing out on anything truly revolutionary.

He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
