I never said my $399 machine can do that and I don't think yours or anyone's $399 PC can play the wiiU emulator at 4K either :p

I believe that a $400 to $500 PC can definitely be built that would allow the current emulator to run games at 4K/30 or 4K/60 FPS easily.

An overclockable processor and a medium-end GPU is all that is needed.

Your insistence on "$399" and "4K" makes absolutely no sense then :p If current PCs can emulate the game even at Wii U levels then that is money well saved and even more bang for your buck :p

Already proved you wrong by listing a budget PC build outperforming PS4, I can do the same to your faux 4K machine too :p

My laptop can emulate dolphin at higher than HD resolutions, I still don't see what that has to do with a PS4 Pro :p when you're able to run new games like Infinite Warfare at 4K 60 FPS on a $399 machine, then talk to me :p

Y'all PC people sure do get nervous real quick when something threatens the 'master race' in terms of quality :p Don't worry, i'm sure the $900+ PC's will serve as good home network PCs or something down the line, or it may let you run Red Dead 2 at medium to low settings if it ever gets a PC port :p

In the mean time, here's some more Ratchet shots from the Pro. Let's do Pro stuff in the Pro topic, you guys can discuss cheap PC builds elsewhere (co)

Oh lawd, the Pro so starved for 4K 60fps games that people have to quote calladooty campaign. I legit feel bad now :p

I can quote 100+ Pro enhanced games
already available, but the kind of replies janmaaro is giving, this is probably the type of game being played here :p besides, most of those games aren't available at 480p on PC, let alone 2160p.

Don't worry, your PC is probably still good for playing newly released games at medium settings necro, should keep it going for a few more months :p

Tired arguments as ever Chandoo. Can your Pro run fantastic games like Owlboy or Superhot? No it can't, not even at 480p full phat checker boarding. It, along with a laundry list of other games, are as relevant to you as most of those faux enhanced games are to me :p

It can run GoTY 2015 at Ultra 60fps, and GoTY 2016 at Ultra 120fps, without me praying for the devs to be generous enough to release a patch. Good enough for me, and a pipe dream for your Pro :lol:

Not bad not bad. How's the game though? I think my kids would like to see it in motion but how does it stack up again Lego Star Wars Force Awakens?

The only Lego game I've ever played is the Lord of the Rings one, but those are specifically designed for kids, this is not a hand-holdey game, generally the starting parts were easy but combat gets VERY hectic later on. Game does a brilliant job of filling the entire screen with enemies and they all blow up in a glorious rain of particles. This is, however, a very good game to show kids cause the game goes through almost a dozen differnent planets and they're all colorful and vibrant.

It really is an amazing looking game. They also patched better anti aliasing into the OG PS4 version, so might as well give it a try. Was only $9.99 on gamestop when I bought it at black friday, might be cheap at EB games over there too.

Here's some more shots from R&C.

Visuals and aesthetics are more similar to Beyond Good and Evil than the Lego games [MENTION=1054]Shyber[/MENTION]

Why are all your screenshots restricted to 1080p for all games? Unless you're playing on a 1080p display this isn't representative of the image quality you get while playing.
I'm taking screens at 1080p in .PNG via PS4's capture feature, I can take 4K PNG's too but they become ~15MB in size per picture.

Chandoo your consistent posting in this thread finally tipped me over to get a pro. And for apparently no reason at all but a keera to upgrade.

Donno i m lost!!
can u post a comparison shot of same place wid ps4 n ps4 pro... my ips display kinda shows almost same image to me
actually ur not too far off...the game was lauded for being almost CG quality even back when it was released on the PS4. from my POV, the pro has a slight better AA solution. texture quality and any other graphics related settings look same as the regular ver.

It also runs at a much higher native rez, which doesn't show because of my 1080p screenshots :p but yeah the game does look superb. Probably one of the most underrated visual gems of this generation so far. Everyone's lauding the Uncharted's and the The Order's only because this game has more of a cartooney aesthetic. In terms of IQ, visual fidelity and particle effects while retaining rock solid performance, this game is right up there with the best of this generation.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.
