Well, this was disconcerting. While playing Dishonored 2 at the start of a level on the skiff, some weird blue static-like vertical lines were flashing on the screen. Reloaded, couldn't reproduce.
Yeah, hope that doesn't mean something is about to fail.

Decided to play killzone SF again. The game is still jaw dropping. To bad theres been no pro patch coming. It could easily be the best looking game on the system still.

Hmm.
My experience with Titanfall 2 so far has been great. So yeah, I guess it's game dependent.
Here is a video I made testing the fan noise during titanfall 2 gameplay.

Yes, it received an update last month that patched in support for the Pro. Wish I could've done more research as I had read somewhere that it was already on-disc, but I heard nothing short of positive praise for the tech adjustments and I've been debating whether I should bother with it in spite of my strenuous net access.
If you're a fan of the Uncharted series, you might find yourself partly entertained as the reboot strives to capture a reminiscent sense of game design. It doesn't come off as charming in the storytelling department of Sony's exclusive property and critical praise was a bit too positive as result of the launch wave, but I think it's a pretty decent shooter for PS4.

Realized that my right stick controller curves to the right...when I'm playing Overwatch or MWR I noticed it but not when I was playing FFXV Judgment. I'm upset now but I don't want to return the whole thing. I just want the controller fixed....
Huge fans of the Uncharted series (still need to play Uncharted 4). So I am hoping I will enjoy the Tomb Raider games as well.
So for my controller that came with the pro, I have the problem where no headphone jack fits at all. It just won't go through all the way in. It says on the screen that I'm using headphones but I can still hear the speaker playing.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?

Sell on CL. I sold my launch machine with two controllers for $250.

Maybe it's just my imagination but the performance of the Funimation app seems to be improved. The picture quality is better and it loads my queue faster although the faster loading is likely due to my Firecuda drive.
The Wi-Fi was improved on the Pro. Maybe it's getting a higher bit rate?

I kinda don't think it's your imagination? I'm pretty confident my Netflix quality has improved since I got a Pro.

I gave it a quick crack last night. Without proper back to back comparisons it's really hard to say for sure, and it didn't help that I hadn't played the OG version in a long time, but (on a 1080p TV) to me it looked slightly sharper and had a locked framerate. Not a huge difference.
Which mode?

I was playing BF1 on my friends Ps4P on Friday and I noticed significant performance improvement. Especially in load times. Can't comment on visuals since he doesn't have a 4k TV yet.
Gamestop currently offers $150. That's pretty good honestly considering the $250 UC4 bundle with Ratchet & Clank and The Last of Us on Black Friday is coming soon. You might be able to do $200 on craigslist but YMMV.
I really can't wait for it. The thing that killed Warframe for me was the FPS at higher rounds and in some levels. If they can achieve a more stable 60 fps that would be awesome.
As far as I know there is no FFXIV Pro patch yet.

Would it improve or worsen with game mode on? I've got a high end Sony that is about 6 years old.
Great suggestions but all my eco options were turned off so that's probably not it. Haven't used it for like 5 hours so I'll boot it up in a bit and see if I notice a difference.
Edit: this time it stopped outputting audio after about 30 minutes of playing. Power cycle, checked the connections, no audio. Hooray...

My PS4 Pro wasn't reading discs now for some reason. I reset it and still wasn't showing the app but then I gave a small hit and it worked. Should I be worried?

Those Guerrilla Games wizards, now imagine when Horizon comes out!
Got my Pro on Saturday morning, did not have the time to play any of the patched games as my 4K Bravia is arriving on Monday with a copy of BF1 and I'm currently invested in Mad Max (shame on me for not buying it day one, great game). Love how quiet the system is and actually the design is starting to grow on me.
I'm a PC gamer primarily. But the PS4 Pro is really impressing me. Two games in particular have been absolutely phenomenal, visually speaking: Uncharted 4 and Ratchet.
Ratchet in particular is just incredible. It's the first time I can truly say we're approaching real-time Pixar like graphics. Well done Insomniac. And know that I bought the game today solely because it is well priced and has PS4 Pro support. So thank you, Insomniac.

I have a pretty beefy gaming computer and Ratchet and Clank on PS4 Pro via a 4K HDR enabled tv really did still manage to blow me away. Really great looking game that pretty much looks damn near CG quality in visuals at times.

No change whatsoever.
Oh yes. 3 graphics options, one of which is 4k/30. Sensational looking on a good TV.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Is anyone else thrown off by the HDR in Second Son ?
It's suppose to enhance details and brighten up areas, right?
Either the hdr or the lighting in this game is fucked because its crushed and darkened as hell.

So is Dishonored 2 one of those game with patch already in the game? Is kinda hard to tell.

Yeah, I gave up on trying to make Infamous look good on my TV, lol
The dormitory section of The Last of Us in 4k w/ HDR was so enjoyable. I could really tell the HDR was in affect with the lighting and how the colors popped on the posters in the dorm rooms. Then the haze/spores in the basement looked so good.
I had been playing the game on my PS4 last week and when I got my Pro and switched to 30fps locked I thought I wasn't going to be adjust to the drop in framerate. I switched back to unlocked immediately. Then finally today I decided to give it a go again and once my eyes adjusted to the slower framerate I was able to really tell how good the IQ was.

I think it's bugged. I sat there for 20 last night trimming it down to 14 seconds and it was still at 0. I gave up in the end.

There was a little list going around.
Can't remember all.
Infamous
Ratchet and Clank
Uncharted 4
Deux Ex
NBA
TLOUR
What sucks about HDR in NBA?
lots of black crush?
You can't adjust it in game.....you have to fiddle with your tv settings despite the fact they already might be perfectly setup universally for everything else. My tv was setup for gears and forza easily, in game slider allowed you to adjust the HDR brightness. Didn't have to fiddle with anything once set. Here comes 2k and NBA.......you have to mess with your color, brightness, gamma......literally everything from a TV level. I'm not doing that just for one game.

HDR in Second Son looks amazing on my TV, no black crush at all.

That doesn't sound good...
It's playable but really unnatural looking. I haven't done any real analysis or research on the current state of affairs but it looks like the gamma curve the display is using doesn't match the intent of the source material. It's not inconceivable that this could vary from display to display, which could explain why some people rave about Infamous and others aren't impressed.
For reference, I'm using a Samsung KS8000.
Hmm. That sounds a bit weird. Are both the Pro and the xbone going through an amp, or are they direct into the TV?
adamsapple
Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It's the same mA battery charge, but yes I played 10 and a half hours of Shadow of Mordor (as per game progression timer) and battery was still at 1 bar before I charged it the first time.
Both directly to TV.
It's an HDR slider problem. Why does every game but NBA have it. I'm not wasting my time fiddling with my TV for a single game lol

Game mode for netflix? I'd leave it off if you're watching a show or movie.

I think it's possible some just like black crush as well. A lot of people are fond of the "Xbox pop" (the black level issue XB1 had near launch)
