What was Sony's plan with making games run worse on PS4 Pro?

>1 frame difference

Wow its fucking nothing, People played TLOU at sub 30fps 720p and the game was still fucking amazing.

Stop trying so hard PCucks. You lost. Get over it.

>and the game was still fucking amazing
kek
a game needs good gameplay in order to be good(hence the word "Game"), but TLOU has objectively shit-tier gameplay

...

>my entirely subjective opinion is fact

Lol everybody look at this retard

This is what you get when you fall for the 4K meme.

Jesus fucking Christ we haven't even fucking got native 1080p as standard yet, and now we are fucking chasing 4k? Give me a fucking break Sony, what the fuck are you thinking. Like seriously if PS4pro was "Hey this is aims for 1080p but games run and look a bit better." I would fucking buy that shit.

Instead we get shitty pseudo 4K that current gen can barely handle. Fucking hell, how about some nice Anti Aliasing instead?

Kill consoles once and for all.

>Fucking hell, how about some nice Anti Aliasing instead?
This is a joke right?

You do know what increasing the resolution does?

Tlou is like weak sauce metal gear in terms of gameplay, alternating with some drag ladder and drag girl on wooden plank sessions

Witness the true power of the Pro...

4K isnt a meme, its the next resolution step. HDR, on the other hand, is a meme.

>more pixels on screen is the next step
>more colors on screen is a meme

At this point, Hdr makes more of a difference to image quality than adding more resolution

>HDR is a meme
poor fag with a bad rig detected

HDR is the future, it's unlike anything

>You do know what increasing the resolution does?

Take a fucking ton of resources?

There are so many better ways to get anti-aliasing than downsampling 4k to a 1080p display. 4k is a giant fucking meme, oh it looks sharp sure, but at what cost?

Hell even DOOM's lead programmer, one of the most optimized games released in recent memory, said 4k on the Scorpio is a waste of resources, and the PS4pro is WEAKER.

>What was Sony's plan with making games run worse on PS4 Pro?

They have a legal agreement to developers that PS4 Pro versions should not in anyway or form run worse than their standard PS4 counterparts.

Naughty Dog is liable unless they fix it in a future patch.

See Rise of the Tomb Raider for what people are saying is the gold standard on how to do a Pro version.

Devs are free to put the extra power of the ps4 pro into whatever they want, this is just the first wave of games and devs are lazily bumping the resolution because Sony mandated that all games released after the pro's launch must support it.

When devs have more time and don't just have to force a pro mode into the game at the last minute you'll see more meaningful uses of the extra horsepower. Look at rise of the tomb raider, they have a better graphics mode as well as the bumped resolution mode.

It's the developer's choice where to put the extra resources of the pro.

DEVELOPER'S CHOICE

That's why you have 4K/30fps or 1080p/60fps + GRAFIX modes you can choose from in games on the Pro.

...

Fuck, you activated this guy's trap card

Power supply blew up?

What was Nintendo's plan with making games run worse on N64 Expansion Pak?

lol pccocks are so mad they're melting their PsPros just to sabotage ....

Sigh...

Sorry I can't do this anymore. PS4Pro is such a goddamn embarrassment I can't defend Sony anymore. Double dipping their customers and then this....

thermal issues

console players are so fucking stupid, welcome to the world of PC

different hardware and no compatibility patches means it runs like shit

it'll get patched

Why are PCucks so threatened by PS4pro?

>You lost. Get over it.
>Current gen games still run at 30FPS
wow you sure showed us

>It has problems running a fucking top-down game with shit graphics at full speed
how

According to DF, The 1080p on the PSPro version on the Last of Us is forced supersampled (downscaled 3200x1800) rather using the base (1920x1080) hence it is causing some frame rate issues.

so the intern who did the patch thought he was being clever.
they'll most likely just make it 1080p in the next patch since they're legally obligated to

to lure people into cashing out another 400$

fake/intentional damage just like all those DS4 analog sticks getting ripped apart from "normal" play

I've got a pro and it doesn't get warm there at all.

LITERALLY damage control. Sonycucks on suicide watch

>2013
>launch underpowered console that runs games at low to middle settings at 1080p
>2016 launch underpowered console that runs games at middle settings at fake 4K with heavy fps drops
should have just made a good 500-599$ console in 2013 and there would be no need to remaster console hardware

TLOU is a boring game with a shitty by-the-numbers story

I'm a Sonygger and even I can say that the DS4 sticks are shit. Both the controllers I have that were of the original model have completely ripped up analog sticks. The only one that's any good is the newer one.

kys desu senpai

This is satire, r-right?

samefag

Did you get both your ds4s at launch? I bought a ps4 about 6 months after launch and another about a year ago and both sticks are immaculate

Another dualshock, not another ps4

it's a ps3 game, meaning that the pro doesn't run better games, it will just run ps3 games at 4K instead of games better than the ps4's at 4K.
That system will let things stagnate for a few years.

>PS4 Pro is out already

I don't know what rock I'm living under, but is Bloodborne finally 60 fps?

or at least steady 30+

excuses that don't change the final results. they aren't gonna change the code.

>melted from the outside

This is legit.

How is it worse if it's running in higher resolution?

Is this a thinly veiled shilling threas, right? Is it reverse psychology so people keep repeating that there's no problem with it?

How does optimization work?
Do they just make certain part of the games worse until they reach constant 30 FPS?

If I remember it had something to do with how the Expansion Pak changes the way the system allocates data into the RAM both in the system itself and the Expansion Pak, I think it was that it changes the memory addresses to account for the extra RAM it gives. Games that weren't made to support it end up loading data into it and when the CPU goes to fetch it it takes longer to do so because now it's looking for it in both the system's standard RAM and the Expansion Pak's RAM. The Jumper Pak, that black one that comes with the N64, actually doesn't do anything other than be a plug cap for the slot you use for it so the CPU wastes no time trying to fetch data from it.
As a side note, most games that used it optionally still benefited from it such as increasing the resolution size or giving higher quality textures. Episode I Racer actually runs at a better framerate with it, I know at least that because I own it.

Maybe if you stopped handling your personal belongings like an angry gorilla they wouldn't be wartorn and broken just from you holding them in a vicegrip.

Bloodborne didn't actually receive Pro support, that tweet you saw being posted around was a fake being used to bait consolewarfags into perpetuating more consolewar threads

Sometimes, but mostly it's just trying to get stuff to use less resources while doing the same thing. Generally devs will bash out features and get them working, and then worry about making them computationally economical later down the line.

For instance your ai might be checking to see if he's in cover 60 times a second when in reality it would work just as well if he only checks twice a second

Bloodborne will never be 60fps due to the nature of its multiplayer being intertwined with the main game.

At best we get 4K resolution

>You do know what increasing the resolution does?

Jack shit if you can't maintain the framerate.

>What was Sony's plan with making games run worse on PS4 Pro?
To make you buy the PS4 super pro next year which is going to be even better promise. :^)

>both games run at roughly the same frame rate and the difference isn't perceivable without looking at a real-time graph
>B-BUT I'M LITERALLY GOING TO GET MOTION SICKNESS IF MY GAMES AREN'T EXACTLY THIS AND THIS AMOUNT OF NUMBERS

I wish PC fanboys would actually play the games they shitpost about

Don't you get tired? How about playing games on PC?

I played it on PS4 and game is great.

It's incompetent developers not scaling their games correctly for those resolutions like a bunch of fucking retards not Sony.

>superior in every way

PC players need to stop saying this. My Wii boots up faster than a computer, is cheaper than a computer and is way more portable.

>hur no it's -------objectively----- better cus I have better specs

>isn't perceivable without looking at a real-time graph
hahaha

>30 fps
>winning
pick one, friendo

Wii is shit though and that coming from soomeon who has it only console I had buyers remorse.

>double resolution
>1 frame slower
wish PC could keep up with that standard desu

This is a cop out excuse for why bb won't get 60fps and is complete bullshit when ds1, 2 and 3 are on pc

>Wii is shit though

that's just, like, your opinion, man

Meant for

BLOWN THE FARK OUT
