PS4 Pro Devkit Photo Shared By Daymare 1998’s Invader Studios, Here’s How It Looks Like

Italian developer Invader Studios have posted a rare photo of a PlayStation 4 Pro devkit on their Facebook page. As you can imagine, it’s bigger than the console itself and has a different design.
Basically, it’s a black box with a PlayStation logo attached to the front. It’s rather different from the ones for Project Scorpio which we’ve seen in the past, as they even had an LCD panel on the front to let developers check the core information about the game and the code they were working on.
Interestingly, people on Reddit has offered a few insights about the meaning and purpose of this stuff, explaining what it is like to work on this kind of hardware and how the process that allows you to make the devkit communicate with your code works.
“I used to work with those and the PS3 devkits. Much more industrial looking, I actually got so used to those that when I bought a production PS4 it felt too small and fragile,” SteamboatTaco said.
“The SDK is on your pc. You write code on any ide you’d like as you do with any code. There are 1st party tools to manage your connection to the console and do things such as deploy builds, get crash dumps, view CPU/memory usage, and pretty much anything you’d need,” Taitaisanchez added.
You can see the photo below. In case you’re wondering, Daymare 1998 is working on a classic Resident Evil-like survival horror, an old-fashioned third-person action title that is going to remind you about how good it was to play that stuff on your PSone.
