I'll trade in my PS4 for a pro of there is a good trade deal somewhere just so Spronk and I can be superior Pro Bros.
I said the same thing in he ffxv thread as noodle said here and quaid (i think) mentioned something about getting $200 in credit somewhere when trading a ps4 for a ps4+

So are games on the pro that run at 1080p going to get a boost or will they default to standard ps4 mode or something like that? I assume all those older games with frame caps are still going to run like shit on a pro.

PS 4 Pro will support better boobs, insta day 1 buy.

You can see the supple lift of the breast fat on the left, whereas the peasant PC version is just one hideous gelatinous blob of flesh

TR PS4Pro at 1080p will have "multi-pass rendering, better shading, PBR lighting, and more" compared to the stock PS4 ROTR. Still, I'd expect very few devs to put in the time to make a better PS4Pro version.

Just the face:

This is the current list of games that will get a PS 4 Pro update, before launch, for better visuals

Uncharted 4
The Last of Us Remastered
Infamous: Second Son
Infamous: First Light
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Paragon
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
Elder Scrolls Online
Futuridium
The Witness
F1 2016

Online-only games like Bloodborne, Destiny, Division, etc won't get upgrades because online multiplayer games cannot have differences between PS4 and PS4 Pro versions, only single player components of games are allowed to.

Weaksauce, Bloodborne with glorious hi-rez textures and high frame rate would have killed.

What can be upgraded in The Witness considering it has a stylized aesthetic designed to be timeless? Maybe it will "only" be in the rendering?

Indeed. "Upgrade your console to not get any improvements in FPS in multiplayer! (because that would be P2W!) ".....

I am sad that Fallout 4 is not on the upgraded list, but It seems to be missing Skyrim Remastered which was confirmed somewhere else so here is to hoping!

How about Overwatch. People play on low res on PC and other on Ultra.

They will relaunch fallout 4K.

I think the online thing is BS.

I've heard they don't want to have the pro perform better than the PS4 because it would give the Pro users an unfair advantage in games like BF1/Overwatch/destiny etc.


So I say wtf is the point if that's all you play? I mainly do single players on Xbox/PS4 and FPS on PC so I could careless and may upgrade for graphics but seems shitty for 24/7 PS4 MP guys.

The point of the Pro is entirely questionable in general at this point.

Elder Scrolls Online is an online only multiplayer game. But no one plays that piece of garbage anymore so I doubt anyone cares.

With that said, it is pointless to upgrade to a PS4 Pro, and I will actually wait on Scorpio. Word of caution to everyone. The king of the generation (Sony) will fall to Microsoft this time around. Scorpio is going to destroy the PS4 Pro. My reasoning? This has been an ongoing generation war with the other victor being on top of one another the next generation. PS2> Xbox. Xbox 360 > PS3. PS4 > Xbox One. This cycle will repeat. Scorpio > PS4 Pro.

My advice is to just hold off until next year when Scorpio launches and Microsoft will be coming in full speed ahead this generation. Sony will get it's ass kicked, and then, as par for the course, Scorpio 2 and PS5 will launch, and Sony will destroy Scorpio 2. This cycle will Rinse and repeat for all time :)

Sony is trying to do these incremental upgrades and make that patch-able for the developers to catch up to each generation of hardware. This is a bunch of bullshit, because in development, you have engines that require use of specific hardware and memory requirements from the ground up to work. These companies need to give developers more hardware to work with from initial design, but half ass patchwork. Course monetarily, this works out great for them if consumers buy into this bullshit.

Microsoft needs to attack this strategy head on.

Scorpio will likely win on hardware, but why should I care when all the games are on PC too? Sony's always going to win because they have actual exclusives.
