It's so good to see that the supersampling is back.

I've waited for nearly ten months. It feels good to return to Bill's Town where I left offf, and experience all from there on with supersampling.

IIRC I'm pretty sure what you've read was a rumor leaked that was post here as a topic, I think it was prior to Firm 5.00 reveal. Other than that I don't know what could it be.

I played and finished this back on PS3 and i've debated getting it again. Is it worth playing again if i have a PS4 Pro and would get to experience it in 4K?

lol no, i don't play the GTA games. I've bought remasters before of other games i've played in the past, was just looking to see how much of a jump this one is in 4K.

I played it on both and thought the big jump more than justified the purchase and replay.

um absolutely. It's way better than the ps3 version which couldn't even hold 30 fps.

I think the difference between 60fps to 30 is bigger than 2160p to 1800p. My only concern are the high quality shadows vs normal shadows.
However, if I play 30fps first and never touch 60fps mode I might not even notice haha yeah, I'm that blind.
I've seen the lower quality shadows and it's never bothered me that much. It would stand out more for me on a game like Dead Space, where shadows are constantly hitting metal walls with more sources of light bouncing around.
I guess they could label the option 'Virtual output resolution settings' or something.

Downsampling on 1080p screens is back? No way...
Well i get some of my harsh words addressed to Naughty Dog back. It was a terrible case of false advertising but they actually fixed it finally. Better late than never!

We're 10 months in, it was probably killed a long time ago.
Oh my fucking god they fixed the ground aim glitch. What and the actual fuck. IS ND doing drugs again?
At any rate I guess Last Guardian will never get super sampling. Well then. I will just wait until I have a 4K display to play the game I preordered. I'm not even mad at that, just a bitch pissed they couldn't fit it in with the Pro patch.

I actually completed the game in both 1800p 60fps & 2160p 30fps, and can safely say the trade-off for 60fps is definitely worth it. 1800p is a tangible boost in res as it is.
What option?

That's your right, but the proportion isn't huge. Less than 20% of Pro's games lack supersampling.
There are 24 games on Pro that do not downsample when played on a 1080p display. Of these, 8 of them have much better framerate instead (i.e. the dev forces fps to be prioritized over resolution). Besides that, 3 games have improved graphics instead of improved resolution. Finally, there are 3 games where the dev appears to believe a different IQ approach is better.
So in all, there are only 10 games that are definitely worse off. Though of course, it'd be preferable if players had the choice instead of being forced into a particular approach for the other 14.
Thanks, I'll probably go with 1800p.

I will use 1800p@60FPS from now on. Tested it out a few minutes ago. Frames are looking pretty stable execpt a few drops that occur from time to time. But in the end it feels like 1080p@60 on base PS4. So everything fine for me.
I think they did not have that much time. Maybe 1 or 2 people worked on the PRO compatibility. And when people start to crying that they want stable 1080p these two people maybe started working on TLL already. I do not think that ND will release patches as soon as they are ready. Probably a few people are testing it before release. And maybe the guy/the guys who created these modes did not had time to re-create everything at that time.
That would also explain why they came up with that now. TLL finished. People are starting to work at Part II and one or two people are fixing this.
The Left Behind was offered as a standalone on a PS4? I though it came only as a part of TLOUR...
1800/60 with HDR on seems like the best way to play TLoU
It would probably cause issues in games that have entirely separate modes for 1080p and 4k displays. I do hope that they've made the implementation easier for devs and provided more documentation as well as emphasizing that people want that option.
Yes,you can buy it alone,it was on sale several months ago for $3.50 or $3.75 i think.
Yup, you can buy it separately. There's an option to upgrade to the full game.

The removal of supersample was requested by Sony so they probably were working in a system option for all games.
This new patch shows Sony back to the old way... devs choose to implement or not supersample... there is no more a request to remove it.
That is bad because it should be a system formate option to all games like the HDR and resolution options.
I think they just took it out because people were complaining that it wasn't locked 60 on a 1080p display. There's likely very few people working on this update so they went with the fastest solution and then couldn't spare people to do anything else until after Lost Legacy was done.
Yes, these options are offered on the stand-alone Left Behind game.

The shadow quality setting really only affects some of the shadows. I think most of the shadows in game remain unchanged. Besides that, HQ shadows were buggy anyway. There is a video that shows they simply look broken in some scenes.

Why would that be the case for only The Last of Us and not Uncharted 4 ?

What did they add exactly? The improved shadows in the 60 FPS mode too?
They didn't detail the update.

TLOU has since first Pro patch the supersample option coded... U4 not.
This patch just enabled an option that already existed.
And from where does this come?
Lord Error

High res shadows in 60FPS mode was already there for 1080p TV users, because the game was rendering in 1080p native. That option is still there, but 1080p TV owners now have other options to choose from, uncluding the supersampling from higher resolutions in both 30 and 60FPS mode.

The bastards finally did it... they fixed the glitch that makes you aim directly to the ground in multi..
This is the real news coming out of this patch.

When I read OP which mentioned shadow options, I thought they added the high res shadows in the 1800p 60 FPS mode too. It's very bothering to switch to 30 FPS to take photos with higher shadows then switch back to 60 FPS mode to play again. Where is your take on FP16 Naughty Dog?
What about the missing shadows? Did they fix it at least?

The removal of the super-sampling was because ND actually took away the 1080p options before when playing on a Pro at 1080p and performance got worse (thus people complained), as per DF's video on patch 1.07 not because of some great conspiracy as you're suggesting. This way, they've added the ability to play in 1080p on the PS4 at locked framerates as well as the option of super-sampling.
