Not Yet Rated. Jeff's still hard at work figuring out how many Bananas out of "Coffee" he'll be giving it.

But that's not a fact Jeff.

Digital Foundry says otherwise.

I watched episode 1 of Planet Earth before work and the time to baby animal being eaten by pray is a lot shorter then I expected.
That's mother nature for ya. Also good god is it a very pretty documentary.

It's a slightly better PS4, I think people know wether they want it or not

I don't know how sensitive Jeff is to frame rates, but I feel like the difference is more significant to people that are. Digital Foundry is really the place to go for a product of this nature.

I like Dan T. and Roundabout was also a lot of fun, but I have to say this game looks bad.

It's an interesting scenario because the CPU is only overclocked a bit over the original, so only games that are significantly GPU bound will end up seeing a bump from say 30 to 60. I don't know how many titles are so GPU bound on consoles. It's common on PC with CPUs that are orders of magnitude more powerful but the consoles are more balanced in that regard. However, I do expect more stable target framerates though due to the overclock and the extra GPU grunt as long as they don't overdo the visual enhancements. Regardless, based on specs, this device was built for resolution bumps, not really significant framerate bumps.

Ah, I didn't know that about the CPU.
If I do end up getting the Pro, it will be for Uncharted, The Last of Us, and (maybe) The Last Guardian. I'll probably play using the upscaled 60 fps mode for the games that let you pick.

I'm not sure that's a fact, considering the DF video review says the opposite (they even say Tomb Raider is "night and day"). But he's definitely entitled to that opinion.

Robot golf seems like an inside joke that went too far
Not as painful as the PS4 Pro talk on the last Beastcast which was no better than the garbage coming out of IGN three years ago.
While I can't speak on the PS4 Pro and what Jeff has said about the thing I think most people can't discern between graphics unless there is a huuuuge change. I'm willing to bet that most people (non-gamers) would not notice a difference between GTAV on PS3 and GTAV on PS4 unless they were told beforehand about it.
I've often watched movies at my friends houses and they put on some terrible DVDrip and when I asked them about it they say its great looking.
Also this.

Nah, it was better. They never claimed they knew what they were talking about on the Beastcast. But it was still pretty bad how uninformed they were. Especially since they were at the actual reveal in person.Not as painful as the PS4 Pro talk on the last Beastcast which was no better than the garbage coming out of IGN three years ago.

Also on a TV that's in vivid mode with the soap opera effect.

It really does feel like a game jam game that they decided to charge for. It barely even looks finished in spots.
Well, it's from the same people that brought you Roundabout

Crooked CNET lying about the PS4 Pro. Sad!
We need to check Bakalar's deleted emails!

I turned on motion smoothing on my new TV over the weekend just to see. It's so fucking weird! I could never use that, it's too distracting.
I would say GBeast is way more interested in the gameplay aspect of games as opposed to the graphical fidelity. Bakalar included. I think the major issue is how uniformed they are when covering stuff like this. I will agree with the idea that you don't really need to pick up a Pro if you are perfectly fine with playing on 1080p and aren't adverse to or aware of lower frame rates.

I love the man but Vinny is a bit of a graphics whore.
But as somebody who is similarly a "common man" when it comes to things like graphical fidelity, an eye test from Backalar is way more useful to me than a huge technical analysis from Digital Foundry. I think a lot of people in the review thread just can't accept that these reviews are serving different audiences.
Then he should at least try to be more informed when it comes to these kinds of hardware bumps.
Which works for most, just not on a site like NeoGAF. Also, as Pizza states, fanboys still continue to be a thing in this, the best time to be playing games.
narrow referential humor on top of a bad pax wrestling gimmick seems to do alright
In what context?
