I'm returning my Pro tomorrow because I find the whole situation a mess.
Every single game that has a Pro mode should not have worse frame-rates than PS4 versions.

I can't believe this post is serious

 

[Peotical Injection]

Dude, I love this system. This is coming from a guy with a pretty awesome PC that plays 4K games on it. I know that I'm not entirely getting Very High setting at 4K on the PS4, but it blows my mind that they can even get a game to run at 4K on this system for 400 bucks. Titanfall 2 looks so good. Last of Us, goddamn at 4K HDR, sweet baby Jesus. The game that really blew me away was Uncharted 4. How the fuck was Naughty Dog able to get this game to run at 4K??? Amazing. I will still probably buy third party games on PC just because of the price. I never pay full price for PC games. But PS4 Pro is making it really difficult for me to upgrade my PC to the inevitable 1080 TI when that releases next year.

I haven't even hooked up my VR yet. Super excited for the weekend.

 

[Gray-Fox]

I wanted to trade in my old ps4 for the the Pro and Gamestop just told me I cant because I upgraded the HDD to 1 TB.....

LOL

 

[Moreche]

I can't believe this post is serious

But why? Dos it not disappoint you that games are running worse than the less powerful console?

 

[TGO]

So after playing for a few hours I don't know what to think.
Games like RotTR the difference is obvious by having different settings, you can see it.
But it's hard to tell if it's any difference with other games with no settings
What I'm saying is, if a PS4 is already 1080p it's hard to tell the difference without a point of reference
But I think this is will be good for under performing games on OG PS4

 

[Deku Tree]

Should I set my Pro to Automatic color or full Color?

 

[Wishmaster92]

Enhanced mode looks to have improvements beyond what the very high maxed out setting can do.

 

[SonicAaron]

Hey guys. I've only played MWR on my PS4 pro so far.

Is infinite Warfare 4K HDR? Would it be a good example of what to look for in terms of lovely graphics?

Or Uncharted 4? I hear it's just 1440p.

Which do you think would show off the graphics most

 

[fluffydelusions]

Conflicted whether to buy one today or wait a couple weeks in hopes of a sweet deal. My target has one PS4 pro left and I could use that 10% coupon + 5% red card deal but at the moment there is nothing I want to play on the PS4. I have a gaming PC already and sold my OG PS4 a couple months ago in anticipation for the Pro so I already played all the games I wanted previously except UC4 (will likely be dirt cheap on BF so another reason to maybe wait). I definitely will buy one however if FFXV turns out to be good and than there is TLG a week later. What to do what to do...

 

[DryvBy]

so far with the games that "only" downsample to 1080p, it is easy to see crisper resolution, but to some people this is not huge. It is similar to people buying new gpu to play at higher res, no jaggies... i really cant notice any jaggies anymore in games i tried (R&C and Infamous).

More interesting is some games having more things upgraded and unlocked fps.

But most interesting is in PSVR, where there is night/day difference between the two, no matter how much you care about picture iq.

I have a PSVR. Gotta wait until after work to try it. I have 15 games already lol.

[GodParticle]

Gamestop actually took my OG ps4 with the warranty stickers removed. Didn't think they would, but figured why not. They didn't even care as long as it worked

MW and Infinite Warfare are not HDR.

Uncharted 4 has HDR.

 

[EL CUCO]

So is it quicker to transfer over the games/files from the OG PS4 to the Pro via LAN?

 

[Chris_Rivera]

I want to say destiny runs a bit less smooth on Pro, very slight frame pacing changes, but I can't be sure. Just surprised.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Eh, I just compared it last night. The difference is night and day even if it's 1080p. It also came down with what monitor/TV you are using.

I agree with some of the games I tried. Ratchet and dishonored 2 for sure. You got any comparison shots?

 

[Dizzan]

When I was a kid, this blew me away.

To think we have visuals like this now astounds me.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Man. Infamous looks good as hell.

 

[VanCityGamer]

So with a 1080p TV, do I play Rise of the Tomb Raider with Enhanced graphics or 4K mode??

 

[Allforce]

9 hours to transfer 200 GB of data from old PS4 to Pro. Sony plz.

 

[SOLDIER]

How is Titanfall 2 on 4K?

 

[Wishmaster92]

So with a 1080p TV, do I play Rise of the Tomb Raider with Enhanced graphics or 4K mode??

4k mode will look clearer, enhanced will have better graphical effects. It's down to preference. Try both

 

[jstevenson]

Finally having one at home to play with on my E6 OLED and wowzers. Must own if you have a 4K HDR TV

I'm a home but Ratchet looks absolutely insane.

Played some Infinite Warfare too and it looks awesome.

Stoked to do more TF2, BF1 and Hitman too

 

[GazzaGSi]

So is it quicker to transfer over the games/files from the OG PS4 to the Pro via LAN?

If a gigabyte connection I don't think there's much difference.
I used a USB3 external HDD, just over 85 minutes to restore 340GB.

 

[GustyGardens]

Infamous and Hitman look great. I'm installing Elder Scrolls Online right now. Infinite Warfare is on its way.

 

[def sim]

Enhanced mode looks to have improvements beyond what the very high maxed out setting can do.

It should be noted that the very high preset does not max out all settings.

 

[HooYaH]

If a gigabyte connection I don't think there's much difference.
I used a USB3 external HDD, just over 2 hours to restore 340GB.

I did 390GB under an hour through Ethernet cable.

 

[Deku Tree]

BB didn't even care if my PS4 worked. They just copied the numbers off the unit and took it. They did rip me off but w/e I didn't want to put in any more effort into selling it.

 

[GazzaGSi]

I did 390GB under an hour through Ethernet cable.

I edited my reply as I got it wrong but your time is still better through ethernet.

Standard Pro HDD as well or swapped that out?

 

[Lord Error]

But most interesting is in PSVR, where there is night/day difference between the two, no matter how much you care about picture iq.

In which VR games did you notice the most difference?

 

[Rbk_3]

So my Pro will sometimes give a high pitch noise but if I put a little pressure on the top it stops. Kind of like it's rattling around sort of. Anyone else experience this?

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

Sooo, just to be clear: Just Cause 3 isn't getting a patch , right?

 

[Phreaker]

So is it quicker to transfer over the games/files from the OG PS4 to the Pro via LAN?

Quicker than what, redownloading everything? If so, then yes.

 

[John Cowheel]

Not sure how I feel about the machine so far.

Seems like there are some hiccups that need to be addressed. I had to go into safe mode to get the machine to run at 2160p.

 

[Evo X]

Getting my LG OLED delivered today and have a question. How can I get 4K HDR if my receiver doesn't support HDR pass through? Is there a way to plug the pro directly into the TV, then somehow still have surround sound coming thorough my system using another HDMI cable?

 

[perfectsil]

BF1 and Infinite Warfare don't have HDR? Was wondering why I couldn't see any difference with my tv uhd setting on and off

 

[c00l3ru]

I know that UC4 is only 1440p but Jesus. That resolution bump makes such a fucking difference.

 

[Jobbs]

I'll go to the trouble of trading in my PS4 for one if they patch Bloodborne to benefit framerate-wise and probably never before then.

Yes use the ARC enabled HDMI on your TV.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

Grrreetings comrades, I have a dumb question for owners of both PS4 Pro and PS VR.

The HDMI cable 2.0 that was shipped with the PS4 Pro is the one I should put in the HDMI TV port of the PS VR processor box, is that right ?

 

[Charcoal]

Picked up my Pro yesterday, but I just sold my launch PS4 on eBay for $250! Pretty excited about that.

 

[Beatofficer]

Got a few hours in with Titanfall 2 and it's great. First game I played on my Pro was "My Name is Mayo" easiest platinum ever.

 

[Evo X]

Yes use the ARC enabled HDMI on your TV.

How do I do that?

Let's say I also want to hook up and xbox one s using the same method along with having the built in tv apps utilize my surround sound system. What does the cable routing look like in that scenario?

 

[Lady Gaia]

No, I don't have PSVR.

Presuming you have your KS8000 now, using the out-of-the-box settings you will indeed get YUV 4K without HDR support. To enable RGB + HDR go to the TV's settings area under Picture > Expert Settings > HDMI UHD Color and change the setting to On for the HDMI input you're using.

The PS4 Pro should auto-detect the change if you're still in Auto mode and will pick RGB automatically. At least that's how it worked for me.

 

[TheZink]

Just started my transfer over from my old PS4. 292gb taking about 80min to do. Not bad at all.

 

[Lady Gaia]

How do I do that?

Let's say I also want to hook up and xbox one s using the same method along with having the built in tv apps utilize my surround sound system. What does the cable routing look like in that scenario?

One HDMI cable runs from an ARC-enabled receiver's output to the ARC-enabled HDMI port on your television. One HDMI cable runs from each of your devices that you aren't planning to route through the receiver (PS4 Pro and Xbox One S, presumably.) That's it, except for whatever settings you need on your receiver and television to enable ARC communication.

When you're watching something from the receiver the HDMI cable between it and your television routs video to the TV. When you're watching one of your 4K game systems (or using a smart TV feature like integrated NetFlix) the same cable routs audio back from the television to your receiver. You may need to select a receiver input that represents the external audio source.

 

[microdot]

Transferring 330GB via router method will take me less than an hour

Love hearing his especially after all the haters kept slamming me for saying the Pro would have PC-caliber graphics. I can live without very high settings.

 

[MissCauthon]

The thing is so damn silent. !!!

 

[c00l3ru]

Have a look at your manual for what HDMI port has ARC HDMI port some TVs call it CEC. Then enable it and enable it on your AVR. Then the surround will pass through the ARC HDMI back to your receiver. I have to do it with mine as I can't pass through 4k.
