PlayStation Neo Unlikely To Include Internal PSVR Processing
Sticking to the PlayStation VR News back on one of the past rumors in regards for the device sources stated the only reason PlayStation 4 Neo excites it because of PlayStation VR. In my opinion it would seem somewhat pointless to make a whole new system just to support 1 device and not offering anything else besides 4K media support. However since the PlayStation VR includes a external processing box it more then not likely to be built in the newer PlayStation 4 system.
PlayStation R&D director Richard Marks had this to say, “That box is very particular,” he says. “We need something that will take the HDMI out of the PS4 and split it into two different places. We need something that will gather the data back from it via USB. It’s not really possible to not have something. It’s doing this correction for the television set. What we do is render the best possible image for the PS4 out of the headset. We want to also show the image on the headset, so we have to undo this weird warping that’s been done for the headset. It’s also 120 frames-per-second for the headset, and most TVs don’t support that. You could potentially put it in the PS4, but there’s no reason to do that.”
