Sony Playstation 4 Pro

Out of the box, it’s very sleek.. Slightly bigger than the PS4 slim, but will still fit nicely in your bookcase etc. There are still two USB ports on the front and there’s now an extra one at the back should you need it for PSVR or another USB device. You also get the PS Camera port, LAN, HDMI and thankfully the welcome return of the optical audio port. They’ve included one redesigned DualShock 4 (why don’t they give you 2?)

 The new console also supports 802.11ac wi-fi
It’s also whisper quiet

I’d have liked to have seen a bigger hard drive. The 1TB one supplied isn’t going to be big enough in the long run and why no 4k Blu-Ray player is beyond me, but at least it will stream 4k content from Netflix etc.

I bought a 4k HDR TV on offer a while ago and having hooked the Pro up I loaded Rise of the Tomb Raider, as this game has a menu option specifically for PS4 Pro, allowing players to choose 4K,

Wow. I was really impressed with just how crisp, clear and defined the graphics were. Something as simple as the glow from Lara’s torch was so realistic. The game backdrops/scenery are absolutely stunning.

It will be very interesting to see what the future brings. I’m not a fan of VR, but this is supposed to be spectacular on the Pro and I really hope game developers exploit the raw power this system offers for future games, instead of just relying on the console to do its best to upscale.

Game wise, this is where you do need to do your research. There are only a few games available at present in true native 4k. . -Choose wisely...
