Why is everyone so surprised that I got a Pro then :p

It's definitely better than getting an XB1, it has more games of my interest and I'd rather get one now than wait 1 year for scorpio. If it's *that* much of a difference and if more games start coming out on it, I'll trade the Pro in for it.

You don't get it.

We're surprised you spent money to get something that can't play games for free; on launch day.

It's unprecedented and a parallel universe has already imploded.

Spending $9 for a game is a lot better than spending 6000/- rs :p
especially if ur earning in $$'s too :p

For reference i bought Mordor, Witcher 3 Complete and Until dawn in less than $35.

Good to see you haven't changed lmao

Tbh we're doing the same here. Usually buying deals-only while also sharing accounts and splitting costs even further.

The Last of Us Remastered runs worse on PS4 Pro than standard PS4 at 60 fps


But 30 fps will render steady native 4K gaming


https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=a58dH2OzgB0

The Last of Us Remastered is one of the first games that will take advantage of the PlayStation 4 Pro’s increased power and native 4K gaming abilities, but according to a new video from the Digital Foundry team, the game doesn’t hold up at 60 frames per second.
In its analysis, Digital Foundry discovered some noticeable drops in the frame rate while running The Last of Us Remastered in its 60 fps mode at 1800p. In comparison, the standard PS4 was able to handle the game at 60 fps perfectly fine at 1080p. The takeaway is that even with an upgraded GPU, trying to run 60 fps consistently at 1800p is too much for the Pro to handle, and the game suffers because of it.
In the video, Digital Foundry keeps a running graph at the bottom of the screen comparing the consistency in frame rate while playing. While the standard PS4’s line never drops below the 60 fps mark, the PS4 Pro’s line jumps around quite a bit, going from 60 fps to 50 fps and jumping back up again. Even with the 2.3x boost in GPU power that the PS4 Pro offers, with a pixel boost of 2.78 times the original resolution, it appears that the Pro just can’t handle that kind of strain at 60 fps.
“Ultimately, we can look at this 1800p resolution as the culprit for the worse performance,” Digital Foundry states.


Additionally, because the more noticeable drops in performance come from alpha transparency effects — an effect that allows background images to show through and mix with foreground color — the reason for the performance issues comes as a direct result of the GPU’s allocated bandwidth more than anything else.
Despite the drop in frame rates, however, the Digital Foundry team concludes that if played in the 30 fps mode, the game delivers native 4K gaming. While that means players will sacrifice the preferred 60 fps gameplay, the better option to get the most out of the game’s new visual capacity is to play at 30 fps. The frame rate remains steady there and feels “better optimized for its intended purpose,” according to Digital Foundry.
The version 1.07 patch for The Last of Us Remastered, which allows PS4 Pro users to play the game in 4K and enables HDR color, has been released by Naughty Dog and is available to download right now. The PS4 Pro is available to purchase for $399. If you’re still thinking about whether you need to upgrade to a Pro, check out Polygon’s review of the system.

At this point I'm convinced [MENTION=507]manigamer[/MENTION] is dead and he's left a script running on his PC that gathers news from 7 different popular sites and posts them on PG.

Here is quote from gamefaqs. I guess i will go for pro too :2cool:

Is it worth it for standard 1080p sets without HDR?​

Yes it is.
Even on 1080p, the visuals on updated games are damn impressive.
Uncharted 4, Rise of tomb raider and ratchet and clank to name a few look amazing on a 1080p screen.
A game like Titanfall 2 runs a steady 1080p 60fps on pro.
In short, yes it's worth it even for a 1080p tv..

60 fps mode should be made a standard, right now almost all devs are going for super-sampled 1080 & 4k !

If you really need to go to gamefaqs to get opinions on Pro, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel :p

*ALL* future games will have Pro upgrades, including RE7, FF15 etc. So, the Pro just makes more sense if this is your first PS4. If you already have a PS4, it might be a good idea to trade it in and get a Pro.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
