TLG and Driveclub got native PS4Pro patch. It won't change anything.
It's still technically speculation, though I am personally 100% sure.
This is an exciting time for console gamers.
I'm going to put a hold on my backlog I suppose (for PS4 titles).
The Last Guardian has Pro support.
Dark Souls 3 has frame pacing problems so don't expect magic.
Driveclub is rock solid 30fps on every PS4.

I thought the Driveclub patch was just for VR?
It doesn't have a Pro patch, but it's locked 30fps.
Driveclub has not received a Pro patch (DCVR did), but it's so solid that Beast Mode won't give any benefits.
I'd love to be proven wrong, but I wouldn't expect anything from it.
last guardian has a pro patch and drive club runs with locked 30 fps, so there wont be an improvement.
edit: too slow.
of course not
It only affects games that don't have a pro patch
The 4k mode already uses all the ps4 pro resources

There shouldn't be any. There is an nda.
Oh yeah I'm going to post it in that other thread.
About boost mode I'm going to try AC: Unity, Bloodborne and Witcher 3.
Can't find the fucking swamp. Isn't it pointed out on the map somewhere?
Velen, deep in the South.

Good to know. Yeah, didn't expect anything on DC really, but just curious. And forgot that LG had pro support already.

It's more or less in Crookback Bog area.

It had performance problems when driving the batmobile and that's pretty much it.
The freeze part in the Arkham DLC had major or for me it did, frame rate drops at the last part of his story, the driving part.
No. TLG is a Pro-patched game.
Beast mode is a system-wide support for enabling full access to Pro hardware for old UNPATCHED PS4 games.

lol, just go to Novigrad.Can't find the fucking swamp
Awesome, definitely looking forward to some AC:Unity impressions!
Speaking of Unity, we need to go back through the entire library of Unity-based indie releases and see if there are significant gains.

I don't think so. Nothing on my end.
It will for sure.

Tried boost mode on the only game I had handy that I remembered suffered from frame drops, CoD: Ghosts.
It actually does feel smoother. Tried 18 players (well, 1 + 17 bots) on Stonehaven and only dropped frames once, while watching a killcam. Definitely improved on what it used to be, I remember that map in particular would drop frames constantly.

It has Pro support.
Maybe some data were still in the cache and that's why second time it loaded faster?

ok good, that makes me feel better. Were you able to login to the 4.5 PSN community portal? I wasn't able to yesterday.
holy crap, that can't be for real. I remember watching this game and explosions would turn the game into a damn slideshow.
Frame pacing rather than drops, perhaps?

Email first with the code....youll activate it in the PS Store, and then in your PS4 settings under System Update, the beta firmware will be there.
