PS4 PRO WINS

BEAST MODE

Has anyone tried it with Bloodborne yet?

Whe is this patch going to go live?

Is it available now?

it's in beta right now but you can sign up to get a code for it

This is the only thing that matters.
Hitting 60 would be a miracle, but even a more consistent 30 would be good.

I love Bloodborne

I can go test it now, what's the worst performing area in the game?

That long street with patrols leading to the burning werewolf surrounded by enemies at the start of the game.

Just run through it (from the shortcut gate all the way to the crucified werewolf) on both versions and compare.

May not be the absolute worse area, but it's right at the start and easy to compare.

Right, will do.

Is the Pro worth it now? or is it still a stupid cash grab without much difference?

Just Cause 3 is reported having better performance too

youtube.com/watch?v=lrSXbgb-b9M

>14fps to 27fps

wooow....

>PS4 Amateur

Literally shaming people into buying PRO.
>Y-you're not an AMATEUR!?!? Are you user?

Fuck consoles I swear man.
Ruthless, brutal marketing choices endlessly fucking the consumer in the ass.

It's not an official Sony video...

thx m8. Is OP's video your channel? Just to make sure in case this thread dies, I'll still be able to see it later.

Shut up you fucking amateur.

No, I'm just a random retard with a PS4 Pro and Bloodborne. 9GB update though so might be awhile.

just testing it and thats all
no video

It has always been worth it. If you don't down any PS4 yet, that is. No reason not to go for the Pro.

Shouldn't that been a thing when it released?

I mean a fuckload of people just decided to get the cheaper standard models once the news was out that Bloodborne performed the same on Pro

Awaiting on Bloodborne results...
If someone wants to try out DaS3 that'd be great too.

I got one for free trading in my old PS4, and my Wii U plus games.

B-But hitting the share button twice and cutting both videos together in the console editor takes 1 minute

>adding a mode that lets you force Pro enhancements
>allowing you to use External HDDs

Why does Sony keep adding really significant shit with every system update

Does this mean I can play Bloodborne without the framerate dipping below 30?

Old Yharnam. Also summon co-op partners if possible.

Having people in my game always made the frame-pacing go to shit for me.

Don't know about that other guy but, I'll post webms

SOMEONE DO FALLOUT 4 AND WITCHER 3

>>allowing you to use External HDDs

holy shit really?

No point in testing multiplats, exclusives are the only ones where it's pertinent. The rest are just better on PC.
You do have a ps4 AND a pc, right user?

>Update
>testing multiplats

how poor are you?

>why does Sony keep adding basic fucking shit that their competitors already have that should have been in from launch

Yeah, like switching HDDs right?

Man are you retarded this isn't official marketing it's some pasty white weeb with like 3 subscribers

Besides that if it does make games run better, what are the advantages of a Pro?

No not exactly
they are slow as fuck, even slower

Yes

>they shouldn't add basic features because they have something different thats less convenient

how about you re-watch OP's video

>thats less convenient

retard

nothing else

get a PC

>slow as fuck

[CITATION REQUIRED]

>Custom wallpapers
FUCKING FINALLY

>Can only use in-game screenshots
FUCK OFF

As user says it has always been worth it. Playing CODIW solely for how good it looks and plays in "hires mode". Booted COD in 2160p with PC on the same screen and had to try REALLY hard to spot any difference standing still, exactly the same while moving. So much for the fake checkerboard res.

Bloodborne is hardlocked to 30 unless they patch the game, it will probably run at a more consistent 30 though.

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition for example runs at uncapped framerate, so it will probably take the most advantage from this.

>plugging in a USB drive isn't more convenient that removing the internal drive, installing a new one, reinstalling the PS4 OS and then having to either transfer your shit over or reinstall it from scratch

Retard

why the FUCK doesn't xbox have beast mode?

Better wifi card, more efficient power consumption, 4k, and it looks sexier. Also the base model it 1tb and it's easier to switch HDD than it in on the OG PS4. Not that it was hard to do in the first place..

>366270010
Bloodborne will literally never have improved performance on the pro because of its multiplayer.

It took fucking 4 years to add basic functionality from the PS3.

I will not praise them for adding in something that should've been day fucking ONE.

It literally isnt

Also no fucking glossy plastic, and physical buttons for power/disc eject

>30fps is fine! I tip my fedora to you PCFats that claim 30fps is unplayable
>we did it reddit! we finally got """"""" stable"""""""" 60fps! Eat shit pcfats!
So which is it, consolecucks?

>Slow enough external hard drives going through shitty USB ports
wow user i bet it's going to be blazing fast

Then explain how someone who plays Dark Souls 3 on PC in 30fps can still play with someone who is 60fps

>just buy the ps4 again to play your games at a now acceptable framerate bro

It's ok when Sony does it

It does.
The Xbox One S actually runs some games better than the regular Xbox One.
In other words, Boost Mode already exists on the S, and is permanently enabled.

Because PC is a crap platform.

Can we expect a ps4 pro slim next year? I got a slim at Christmas because it's lighter so I can take it to Aus with me

That and it was £200 with uncharted whereas the pro is £350 with nothing

>custom wallpapers
>External HDD support
> Pro Boost mode for better framerates

HOW DO THEY DO IT!?

Luckily screenshots from the browser count as "in-game". That's how I was able to get my Black Mesa profile backdrop. It was still a hassle to do though I wish they would just let us upload images direct.

t-thanks

Because Sony mandates that multiplayer modes on the PS4 Pro must run exactly the same as they do on PS4. No such mandate exists on PC.

They have to cool the thing somehow, hence why it's so much bigger
Sony is fucking retarded when it comes to proper airflow

>Just buy a new graphics card to play your games at a now acceptable framerate bro!
It's ok when PC does it

How much better can they really run? It's the same hardware and everything's still locked to 900p30 anyway.

Not that guy, but locking it to only internal HDD ensure you won't lose your data especially during sleep mode. You see now even with the update you have to manually transfer what you choose to the external HDD. There are certain reasons why you cannot do certain stuff, like why Switch's dock won't be supporting external HDD because it's a handheld, despite technically being able to.

The bandwidth of USB 3 is high enough, and the internal drives on consoles are atrociously slow.

On Xbox One if you get the right external drive it's actually faster than running from the internal drive.

The only console this effect will be lessened is the PS4 Pro, which finally upgraded to a SATA III drive, PS4/XB1 base models have SATA II. Even then the actual bandwidtth of USB 3 is higher than SATA 3.

CONSTANT BEAST MODE

It literally is though. Requires less time and effort and is more portable.

Except that's that entire concept of a PC
Change things out whenever the fuck you want, consoles are buy one now and wait 6 years

Wait, is this still a beta update? Damn it you guys got me excited

I thought Bloodborne never increased their sales from 2 million. Sup Forums told me that.

>Can we expect a ps4 pro slim next year?

Most likely not. The Pro kind of needs to be bigger for more efficient cooling.

Next year you will probably start hearing about the RYZEN powered PS5.

The reason why they're paranoid about this is because the hacks for the PS3 went through the USB port and they're trying to avoid that.

It's actually not. It's got slightly higher clockspeeds. So some games run a little bit better. They're more consistent at hitting a stable framerate.

>ps4 get a boost in frames
>at a medium/high set up

HAHAHAHAHA

Gaf is reporting that Yakuza 0 has much better performance and bloodborne loads a lot faster.

>Improved Evil Within.
... Go on...

Doesn't matter how fast the bandwidth is when the bus is shit slow
You'll see, USB can't even use command queuing. Go actually measure the speeds of your internal hdd and then put it outside of the system and use your usb port

>Yakuza 0 has much better performance

Playing the game atm. The game already is at an almost constant 60FPS though. It drops some frames here and there but nothing major really.

Yeah that glossy plastic was shit and they knew it, that's why they fixed it with the 2nd run of original ps4s. Fucking fingerprint magnets even though I made a point of never touching that part. It would like attract fingerprints from across the room.

That's it for Bloodborne? Good news about Yakuza Zero, that game deserves all the love it can get.

HOW LOUD ARE CONSOLES DURING BEAST MODE

The way Xbox runs games mean it doesn't need "beast mode". The games just use the available hardware like a PC would.

"Beast Mode" is just disabling the compatibility mode the PS4 Pro runs at by default.

>can finally watch 3D blu rays with PSVR

About goddamn time, Sony.

Imagine standing in front of a closed room with one million PCucks crying in vain inside

So when does everyone get this update? I've been waiting on something like this so I can start Bloodborne on this thing.

...

So dead silent?
cool

And yet XB1 seems improved load times and reduced texture streaming issues when moved onto faster external drives.

youtube.com/watch?v=IB8ZyFt-LHc

They weren't using USB

Can we talk about how the 4.50 update will FINALLY ALLOW FOR FUCKING EXTERNAL HDDS TO WORK FINALLY I CAN FUCKING PLAY MY GAMES WITHOUT DOWNLOAD SHIT ALL THE TIME

They literally mention they were using a USB enclosure. 1:02

>delusion.png

BLOODBORNE anons, where the webms at?

>Consoles finally get external hard drives
Congratulations
