Yes. Just be aware - They are HARD.

I've seen people play them and the challenge looks fun to be honest. Just the whole lack of checkpoints for me is a worry. I love just going in like a mad man.

More leaks about to so called PlayStation 4.5. According to some site this is rumoured to be the improved specs vs the current specs.

Original PS4 CPU - 8 Jaguar Cores at 1.6 GHz

NEO CPU - 8 Jaguar Cores at 2.1 GHz

Original PS4 GPU - AMD GCN, 18 CUs at 800 MHz

NEO GPU - Improved AMD GCN, 36 CUs at 911 MHz

Original PS4 Memory - 8 GB GDDR5, 176 GB/s

NEO Memory - 8 GB GDDR5, 218 GB/s

All games from October onwards will have to be able to run a version that plays on the base model and one with upgraded graphics that runs on the newer model. Older games will be able to patch in upgraded visuals for the newer model. Apparently there won't be ps4.5 exclusive games not exclusive content within games to split the user base.

Random question, on the off chance you might know, or have an opinion, do you reckon Game or wherever will do trade ins on old PS4s for the new one?

I'd imagine (hope!) so. It'd be very foolish for either Sony or Microsoft to release upgraded consoles without a trade-in path for existing users to upgrade. I can remember trading in an original ps2 for one of the first gen slim models when that came out, so hopefully it'll be the same process. There will still be a very good resale value in standard ps4 for them to make money.

Cool - Hope so too. I don't even know why, but I am tempted.

Playstation 4.5 is a really stupid idea. You have 30m+ people with outmoded equipment, many of whom won't "upgrade" out of principle - and all that will happen is the devs will make games for the pre-existent market base on the PS4 and the PS4.5 will be another SegaCD.

Ha yeah. Mega Drive/Genesis became an overbloated monster.

The devs of games will look at the following problem - make a game for 30m buyers, or 5m - and then take the common sense option.

They're overthinking how many console gamers care about 60FPS or 1080p. If most of them already cared that much, they'd be playing games on PC by now.

Actually agree.

Still gonna get one because I'm an idiot.

Not touching that VR crap though.
