Does Uncharted 4 run at 60 fps on 1080p screens now with the pro?

bah...still dislike the design of the power and eject buttons. so flimsy feeling.
Yeah when I first plugged it in and pressed the power button I felt like I was going to snap it. Good job I always use the pad to turn consoles off.

Same here. I had no idea about hdr or hdcp 2.2 (mine is 1.4) back in March. Oh well, I still have a 4k TV and it looks glorious with the pro. Battlefield 1 is really spectacular now.
Translation: "Have a nice weekend"
Just tried manually turning off the ps4 and turning it back on.
Still a blank screen.

Yeah, it's the worst part of the console by far. I don't know why they thought they were a good idea! :O
Just wanted to clarify that this video is at 55 FOV. If you go up to 90, there is a slightly noticeable dip in performance even on the Pro. On PS4 there's a more noticeable decline.
My local supermarket had about 30 PS4 Pros in stack, so I decided to go for it. Only cost 380, hopefully I can sell my old one for about 250. Did a system transfed and made sure P.T. worked (it did). Now I'm heading off for the weekend, can't wait to get back to play Ratchet & Clank for the first time.
Man, I feel weird right now on GAF. Everyone is losing their shit with these supersampling PRO pics yet I can barely see the difference. I mean, I see it, but I don't see it's a big deal compared on how it looks on my peasanPS4.
Thing is, I'm trying to justify a PRO purchase, there's some trade-in offers that sounds good right now, and I would like a new controller (mine has an even worse battery than it never had), bigger HDD, and new warranty (I still have in my mind having to pair to repair my 360 because it was out of warranty).
Thing is, I can't see the tech gains on the PRO worth enough, even if I'm trying it, meanwhile everyone is going mental on GAF and I wonder if it's just me :/
It's because it's discounted on the JP store, If Im not mistaken.

I can't tell if it's just placebo or if cinematic mode on PSVR is vastly improved or not. I only tried it once and remember the image looking awful with full screen size. I played Xenoverse 2 with the headset on and it was FANTASTIC and the game doesn't even have a pro update.
Keep in mind screenshots aren't the very best indication. You have to see it for yourself because the image quality holds up in motion and that's not something you can appreciate in a screenshot.

Tried to transfer files. 99 hours. FFS
Ended up just transferring saves and downloading games. If I need anything I'll just grab whatever whenever I need something

Everybody on the fence of Pro.
You're done. Buy it.
Before after pro mode :
FYI there are two Pro modes, high performance and high quality. This isn't a comparison between Pro and regular PS4.
I played batman vr, and playroom vr and the quality is definite improvement. But not just that i swear everything looks cleaner. Not sure if its the pro doing something in the background or the psvr was patched.
Gonna try cinematic mode now.

New console launches just make people giddy. I'm patiently watching too and I'm beginning to move on the "going to buy" side now. Not overly hyped, but I like some of what I'm seeing for 1080p gaming, especially news like FFXV having a dedicated 1080p60 mode. If we get more stuff like that going forward, it will definitely be a worthwhile investment.

Yeah I think the system UI in general runs a higher res in the headset on Pro

I can only confirm, VR is a whole new experience with the Pro and way less straining to the eyes due to increased clarity.
Everyone should try it.

Just reserved COD:IW at redbox for a $1.50 to beat the campaign in Pro mode lol.

I've found playing games in HDR on a Samsung TV does make things a lot darker overall anyway, so likely not just screenshot related!

Yeah VR is a completely new experience.
Thumper appears to have much better draw distance in addition to the image clarity, so you see more of the awesome visual effects and can see more detail in the track as it's being drawn
RIGS is almost crystal clear, there is still some minor aliasing which is to be expected, but the overall image quality is very clear now instead of just the center of your view. On standard ps4 the peripheral of the image was clearly lower resolution.
PlayStation VR Worlds - Robot Rescue has the image quality of an HD Mario game now. It looks simply stunning and the sense of immersion and presence in the game world, despite being a platformer, is vastly improved.

Yeah its bizarre - even the Nvidia Shield TV supports HDR in netflix.

Licorice-flavoured booze?
I feel your pain, I bought a high end av-receiver last year just before HDCP 2.2 was required, I'm told in the shop, "yep, this is fully future proofed, HDMI 2.0, 4k etc!", bollocks., 6 months later I just bit the bullet and traded it in for a upgraded model.
Alright I have the day off (always take Vet's off) and decided I'd finally take this thing out of the box. I much prefer the matte finish, and the physical buttons are much better. I think it's just overall a lot better looking.
Now the Long Downloading Begins. I think the first game I'll download is Ratchet and Clank since everyone's raving, then I'll install Batman VR.

Did anyone ever correct this? This is off by default. You need to turn it on.
In the settings?

Today I will be picking up a PS4 Pro for roughly $122.
The math:
$399 retail price (no sales tax, as I live in NH)
- $150 (trade in value at Gamestop)
- $90 (credit card cash back I have stockpiled)
- $24 (workplace purchase program points)
- $8 (credit card cash back earned)
- $5 (Best Buy rewards program certificate earned)
= $122
That's a 70% discount off of retail. I can't wait to play FF15 on this thing.

i hope world of ff gets patched soon, i was int he middle of a playtrough
also i thought black ops 3 was getting 4k support??
Same I was banking on World of FF to keep me busy until FFXV hit =(
1hr for about 40 gigs for me so prepare yourself
I just deleted everything but saves, VR games and P.T. Will download the rest of the stuff later when I need em. I had dozens of games installed that I never play.
To get HDR support in Netflix you need to be on a certain plan.
Can I stream Netflix in Dolby Vision or HDR?
Netflix supports two different HDR streaming formats, Dolby Vision and UltraHD Premium (HDR).
What Youll Need:
A TV that supports either Dolby Vision or HDR and Netflix. (If you use a set-top box to stream Netflix, both the set-top box and TV must support HDR.)
A 4 Screen Netflix plan. You can check which plan youre currently on at netflix.com/ChangePlan.
A steady Internet connection speed of 25 megabits per second or faster.
Streaming quality set to "High." More information about video quality settings can be found in our Playback Settings article.

I know - I'm on that plan and have it on Xbox One S and Nvidia Shield TV - but not PS4 Pro

Using Vizio P Series, I'm getting some kind of white flicker when playing games or being at the menu.
Have you tested this out? Are you sure HDR is working. I know 4k is working fine but I've heard HDR is not implemented yet.
