Most Developers Are Not Happy With PS4K, Insider Claims

4.6
The PS4K is an exciting and bold new step forward towards the future of gaming consoles– however, it is a first, and that means that there will be those who will oppose it simply because it represents change. Apparently, that number includes a fair number of developers.

Industry insider Colin Moriarty, who has his pulse on the PlayStation development community, has revealed that ‘most developers’ are apparently unhappy with the PS4K- it sounds like they don’t appreciate being given another SKU to develop for, especially since consoles are supposed to be their respite from shifting base specs by giving them one frozen standard to work with.

On my part, I do appreciate the PS4K, and what it represents, though I also feel that Sony have been far too conservative with the update, and that the PS4K won’t represent any real performance benefits, thanks to Sony’s conservatism. But then again, baby steps- let’s hope the PS4K is just a trail blazer for other, bolder consoles to follow.

I'd be annoyed as well, the consoles haven't been out for long and making developers produce the same game in up to a possibility of 3 different ways (PS4, Xbox and PC) is silly especially when it makes little to no difference.

I won't pay for another ps4, just for better graphics because that's exactly what they're aiming for, just graphics. It's ridiculous. But yea why would a developer like the ps4? Because now they're gonna have to develop graphics differently for 1 game.

People are always either going to be for or against something, so maybe some developers don't like it I'm sure there are a lot that probably do.
