Pro patch when?

So how long do u guys think we'll have to wait until the pro patch comes out? Iv'e been waiting for 2 weeks now after they said ''a few days'' lol i'm royally pissed

What's the patch supposed to do in particular?

What's a pro patch?

Support for PS4 Pro/Xbone X it seems

only retards don't play it on pc

>[
It's basically a 4K version for the pro that they said they would release ''in just a few days'' 2 weeks ago, one is also coming for xbox one x later this year.. I personally would take the option of 60 fps 1080p any day of the week, but oh well it's up to them if they want to make that happen, and if you have a 4k tv which i have it'll look beautiful

Yeah man you know what i like to lay on the couch after work and play some games 2-3 hours on a 65'' 4k screen, i admit pc has always had amazingly better graphics but im just not willing to spend copious amounts of money every 4 years for new graphic cards and sitting in a chair 2 inches away from a 23'' monitor

yeah man dud you know like i like dude yeah like dude man yeah

>It's nothing
well that's disappointing

protip: both the PS4 and the XBOX supports enhanched 1080p which is pretty much 1080p with high-ultra textures. X can even do 60fps in 1080p mode.

>65" 4k
>for this

Uh. You know that all it takes to be able to play PC games on your TV is a HDMI cable from your PC to your TV and using it as 2nd screen?

Do you mean xbox one x will have the option of running VERY game on 1080p 60 fps?

One thing i haven't completely understood yet is this ''checkerboard'' shit? Supposedly the pro is rendering to a 4k kind of gameplay experience but it's not true 4k or what?

hahah! That looks horrendous! I can promise you the games i've played on my 65'' 4k screen have not looked like that, more like the PC-panel.

Amazing how cancerous the PC community has become, instead of going to war against other platforms maybe you should celebrate every type of gaming and that it's becoming more and more common thus leaving game developers with more options of better graphics and gameplay

I believe in CD Project Red. Be patient, it will be as good as they can make it.

at best the pro does 2k then upscales it. its the digital zoom of video game resolutions

Also you have to remember that was a comparison between ps4 base unit and PC, i'm playing on ps4 pro with boost mode. And thank god for boost mode!

That was about the level of detail you would get, or that's what I take. If you look at the resolution you will see that it's not 4k, although I have a feeling you don't get how technology works.

I don't know why you posted that, they look exactly the same. This is MGS5 all over again. fucking pctarps

Yes! The witcher 2 assassin of kings was a masterpiece, however i'm getting mad at this wait, why say it woul come out in just a few days and then have 2 weeks go by without even the whiffiest whiff of the patch.. I know they announced it in a conference with a translator since they speak only polish.. Maybe a miss in translation?

Doesn't the level of detail go hand-in-hand with resolution? And you're telling me i don't know how technology works.. I can feel your salty ''I hate every platform except PC'' tears all the way from here

>Doesn't the level of detail go hand-in-hand with resolution?
uh no

Regardless of resolution, consoles don't have the CPU power to handle increased levels of detail.

>Doesn't the level of detail go hand-in-hand with resolution?
No? Like, not at all?

And please understand that ps4 vs ps4 pro with boost mode activated is immensely diferent regarding graphics HDR and framerates

Ok, explain to me then cause i'm willing to listen, you guys are telling me, i could play this game and still have the level of detail avaliable in 2017? Because ''graphics has nothing to do with it?''

The Xbox X has two main mode

patch less: every XBO game without any additional line of code runs on the X the same EXCEPT they have access to the extra ram and processing power. So the game runs at the maximum possible resolution and fps the developers set. If the game is 900/30fps by default it will run without a hiccup. If the game is technically 1080/60fps but downgrades when the action ramps up (so most of the time), it will never downgrade because never runs out of ram or precessing time. Of course this doesn't make the textures or anything else better.

patched: The developers release an X patch. The patch has to support both 1080p and 4K mode. Can use extra effects, ultra textures etc. The difference between the Pro and the X is the pro supports two 1080p mode because it is weaker. One is for better effects and textures at the cost of framerate (30fps mode), the one is 60fps at the cost of effects and textures. The X is strong enough to do 1080p/60fps with better textues and effects at the same time.

The X is not solely a 4K console, just like the Pro it offers better 1080p mode. This could be actually a problem in multiplayer, because Pro users are have a big advantage since their resolution and fps never dips in the heat of the action I guess the same will be true on the X.

Ok i think i understand your reasoning a bit better, at first i thought we were comparing performance with details in games, so what's the verdict? Did pro players draw the short straw or will the Pro and the X run at somewhat the same resolutions even though the X has slightly better CPU only some games running better (god of war on the pro) (halo and gears on X) .. Or will this be a dealbreaker? Also ps4 pro is a mid-generation console, is one x the next step in evolution for xbox users or is it only an improvement of the one S?

>One thing i haven't completely understood yet is this ''checkerboard'' shit? Supposedly the pro is rendering to a 4k kind of gameplay experience but it's not true 4k or what?
The pro is too weak for 4K output. The maximum true resolution in a proper 3D game is around 2K which the system either simply upscales or checkerboards (it is a smarter way of upscaling which produces results close to true 4K). The other problem of the pro which is rarely mentioned is the texture quality. The pro can't use 4K textures, most games just bumping up the resolution using 1080 textures.
The Xbox X outputs true 4K and can use 4K textures HOWever, despite it is much stronger it is still on the verge of 4K gaming. This means there are already some very cpu (fucking jaguar) demanding games (most notable is AC Origins) which have to run sub 4K and checkerboard to some extent to be able to run on the system.

So basically, Sony made a cheap upgrade which still holds up graphically because the new upscaling methods do a great job. X is a true upgrade but may prove just too weak enough to have to resort to the same methods and the final picture may be indistinguishable for most people.

The polygons and textures are exactly the same, what's different is the resolution - the CLARITY, the number of pixels on the screen. Higher resolution means the machine needs more power to draw more clearer. In the witcher 3's case that would mean you could have an even sharper picture of all that barren landscape lacking in shadows and details.

haha remember when they said full mod tools would come out like for w2 then they released extremely limited ones instead and never mentioned it again?

When the X is out and there will be extensive test we will know more but so far, the end result is not that different. The pure numbers will always be better on the X but checkerboarding does a great job on the Pro and the differences probably won't be noticeable for most.

Microsoft should make exclusives to show off the power of the X but I guess they don't care anymore.

Well we'll have to see the end product when the Pro patch comes out but i get what you're saying,
CPU is a bottleneck for the consoles then... Shame, maybe PS5 (or whatever they choose to name it) will have true native 4k 60fps, one thing that is good is that both sony and microsoft periodically release patches to fix overall performance improvements

behold the average console player

If the Pro and the X wouldn't fall for the memes and aim for 1080p only we could have awesome games again. But now all that extra horsepower feeds 4K.

I have literally no idea what you're talking about, never played w2, or at least i'm guessing you mean mw2?

However skyrim SE seems to be the biggest joke of the century for PS4 players, whether it's SONY or bethesda who fucked us over i dont know but xbox users have availability to mod the game so that it looks ridicously good, ps4 players have immersive citizen mods and a few lighting and texture mods - that's it! And from the beginning it wasn't even planned to have mods until the xbox one version was announced.. I think having two ''4k'' consoles on the market serves us all well, the same happened with the witcher 3, as soon as the announcement came for xbox one x console CD projekt red announced the pro patch which they said earlier this year it wouldn't get.

I agree, atleast give us the option of choosing whether we prefer 30fps 4k or 1080p 60 fps as it seems impossible to render 4k 60fps even for some PC users without issues .. Didn't the last of us remastered have this option?

I sure am!

holy fuck you're a legit moron

Patched Pro games actually let you choose between 30 + better graphics and 60fps in single player. Since you can play with others changing fps in multiplayer is not an option. Dynamic resolution fuck this up since pro will always run those games at max while basic users get fucked when the frames start dropping in action.

Problem is the game has to run on 4K so you can't just make an entirely super realistic game in 1080 mode because it won't run in 4K. It can look a little better but not much.

So you think i dont prefer immersive RPG's that are well thought out instead of COD BF and far cry no name a few that are tailored to 12 year olds JUST because i like to play 2-3h intead of sitting in my room 72 hours playing PUBG? you as dumb as you sound boi

to name a few*

They released very comprehensive mod tools for the witcher 2, and since no one used it they didn't want to do the same amount of work for the witcher 3.

>the retard doesn't want to pay for a new gpu
>but happily splurges even more money on a half assed upgrade like ps4 pro
Fuck my life, can't you people die out already.
