Going by the indications of the forthcoming PS4 Pro console from Sony, the new console will not only make existing games look and perform better on the 1080p TV, but will also give a notable facelift to PlayStation VR games.

In an announcement made at its PlayStation Meeting this week, Sony unveiled a new, beefier version of its PlayStation 4 (PS4) gaming console — the much-rumored PlayStation 4 Pro. This became clear in an interview with Sony’s Masayasu Ito by Game Impress Watch (as translated by Kotaku).

Jonathan Blow has announced today that he and his team at Thekla Inc plan to deliver a patch for The Witness, enhancing the game’s visual quality, on November 10 when the PS4 Pro launches. Or will it be free? “I believe it will depend on the thinking of each licensee”, referring to third-party publishers.

Last night Sony Interactive Entertainment and the guys from Insomniac Games have shown for a brief moment of Spider Man, the new upcoming video game on PS4 dedicated to one of the most beloved heroes of the world of comics.

“Talking about getting emotion into your story, and showing people exactly what the feeling of your characters are, I think HDR brings that capability right across the board to everything you do”, he said.
