Battlefield 1 multiplayer is really much smoother with 64 players now. Playing a big match right now. Fire and explosions everywhere and the framerate is really better.
Damn, i love my Pro.

Yes - that's what I'm saying. This is the first 64 player console experience I have been able to enjoy. No idea what it does on 4K sets.

As in, it doesnt get blurry for a split second as though its quickly dropping the res and then upping it again very quickly? Cause that fucks me off a shit load.
Well, just bought a Firecuda 2TB drive off eBay. I'm holding off for a black friday type deal for the pro, but I'll hold on to my OG PS4 so I can do a direct transfer from my current shitty, noisy seagate 2TB drive to a hopefully-quieter/faster 2TB drive in the Pro.
God, I hope this thing is quieter.

Yeah it's gone. Didn't experienced the resolution bug a single time since playing on pro.

Stable 1080p 60fps is all I want from this console, and it appears that it delivers. I can't wait for tomorrow.

To the early PS4 Pro owners, Is the PS4's UI noticeably any faster when scrolling, going in and out of apps, etc.?

Technically, yes. You would need to format it and update firmware, but yes. You will lose all content. The only way to not lose the content is to back it up or transfer contents to that drive when it is installed and functioning with firmware.

Okay people, should I put my old ps4 Seagate SSHD 1TB drive in the Pro or just say screw it and keep the stock one in there?
Quick Mustard

You could, but it'd wipe the SSD as its encrypted with the PS4 you took it out off.
You'd need to either wipe it and start again, or do a data back up via one of teh few ways they offer.

It's stable. Will the graphs show a fully locked 60fps? Hard to tell, but it's night and day compared to the jerky performance offered up by the PS4/X1S in 64 player modes.

How's the menu? Is it still laggy or is it a PS network and server issue?

Even after these impressions. Dont expect locked 60 fps guys.

I don't. But even close 60 FPS is a massive improvement over base BF1 which runs like, to be frank, crap.
Lifejumper

Yeah I know. Im excited.

Doesn't feel locked, but much much better.

Same. I can't wait to get my hands on it and try it out.
Just picked up my Pro and BF1. Heading home to set it up.
So do we still have no info on the Pro patch? Some people report improvement already with no new patch but no one can show definitive proof it's rendering native 1080p instead of 900p or whatever. I feel like we just talk around in circles

Hold off on 4KTV until more information is available. -after all Black Friday Deals haven't hit full swing yet and you might score a good deal along with more information.

Ugh... Everything setup, now waiting for my 700GB backup to restore. Then I have to download patches for Dishonored, Tomb Raider and Deus Ex on my 4mbps ADSL... Still pumped.

Just got my Pro here in Japan and I'm doing a data transfer via my wired network from my old PS4. It's only 330GB but it's gonna take 7 hours...FML.

People think maybe dice didn't talked about it because Microsoft has the Battlefield 1 marketing deal.

So, I've asked a few times, and I already know the answer, just looking for some confirmation.
In terms of installing the new firmware, its the same file as before?
This one, at the bottom for new install of the entire firmware:

Yeah, I mean, in general for all games, not just BF1. I can handle occasional frame drops, but BF1 on PS4 is practically unplayable for me. TF2 and IW are tolerable, but the closer to consistent 60 the better.

Yeah I just used to latest version of the full fresh install file which is about 850MB.

Can anyone confirm if there is scaling done for regular, unpatched ps4 games to 2160p output?. Like the XB One S. I mean output scaling here, not render scaling.
For a '4k' display, or anything higher than 1080p - currently the existing ps4 only supports an output of 1080p. So when running games, the games are first upscaled to 1080 by the ps4 (where applicable) and then the ps4 is scaled from 1080p to 2160p by the display. Which is obviously not ideal for many reasons.
ps;
I also really don't like the fact they're intentionally gimping the ps4 pro's processing when running existing ps4 games w/o a patch. to exactly match the old ps4 specs. They could have enabled the extra power for more stable frames on existing games, if they wanted to.

From the screenshots it looks fairly minor. It might just be that they slipped something in at launch.

Yes, the Pro will upscale everything to 4k...and yes THEY certainly COULD have allowed the Pro to operate at higher clocks to give performance increases in unpatched games...
However, Mark Cerny clearly insinuated that he ran across some problems with at least some games when doing this, so Sony opted to play it safe
