After months of speculation, rumors
The Playstation Neo aka Playstation 4.5 is officially on it's way. Renamed the Playstation 4 Pro, this guy has a lot of PC-level guts in it. The hard drive is a whopping 1TB, and both the CPU and GPU have been upgraded. This souped up console is the first from Sony to allow you to play games in 4K. That's a critical necessity as TVs with lower resolutions become increasingly scarce, and PCs capable of 4K gaming become cheaper and more common.
However if all the TVs in your house are only capable of 1080p and lower resolutions, than don't worry about the PS4 Pro. It's not for you. Instead you can invest in the newly announced Playstation 4 Slim, which begins shipping immediately. It's virtually identical to the current PS4, with the same ports, capabilities, and 500GB hard drive. It's just much much smaller than the PS4, which made all our eyes grow big as saucers when it lumbered onto the scene in 2013.
The Slim is smaller all around. It's half an inch narrower, three-quarters of an inch shorter, and half an inch taller. Yet the biggest and best improvement has nothing to do with size. Sony's also moved the power and eject buttons and made both actual buttons. The original PS4 had nearly invisible touch zones for powering it on and ejecting media, and those zones were right next to each other, which made for a lot of accidental ejects and power downs.
The PS4 Slim is available September 15 and will retail for $299. If you haven't already purchased a Playstation and you don't plan on upgrading your TV to 4K any time soon than the Slim is a great (and svelte) deal.
And you'll want either it or the PS4 Pro in order to use PS VR, which launches in October. Sony's answer to the virtual reality systems from HTC and Oculus, could easily be the best of the bunch. While some of the technology found in the Vive and Rift may be more astonishing, PS VR has a much better line up of games ready at launch. Sony has learned a lot about launching video game consoles since the original Playstation 21 years ago. The most important thing at launch, after the cool tech, are the cool games.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
The Resident Evil franchise is getting yet another reboot. The 11th in the franchise and the first game to be played from a first-person perspective.

The game will release on January 24, 2017 on Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4 and will have full support of PlayStation VR.

This is the second-coming of the DC Gods pitched against each other. It picks up right where Injust: Gods Among Us left us.

And in the middle of this, Earth is faced with another Existential threat. But it's still a long wait. But like the previous one, you can play it across all platforms including iOS and Andorid!
