Does Fifa 17 have any benefits for 1080p?

Is there anyway to tell if PS4 Pro mode is activated if that's even a thing? I'm playing COD Infinite Warfare on a Pro with a 1080p display, is there anything I have to activate for it to work or is it just automatic?
Going to be all over the place for a while. Some of them will have options to pick, probably defaulting to one. Other games will be forced and you probably won't know what you're gaining unless you look it up. (90% of the time it will be supersampling I assume when it only has one option)

Yeah it's hard to tell, there should be some sort of standardized indicator that a game has a Pro mode and if it's using it.

holy crap this is disheartening. a new console just came out and people aren't even sure if they're experiencing the new part yet.

Yeah it's weird, like if you couldn't see the console there would be no indication that you have a PS4 Pro and not just a regular PS4, I guess that's kind of the point based on what Sony had in mind but it's kind of confusing for some.
Do we have any kind of info regarding a Patch for Rocket League? As per usual the devs went radio silent about it. Seeing the game still in active development makes me wonder why they havent announced or even acknowledged the ps4 pros existence..
Also loading times got horrendous since the last update..
Really hope for a patch for RL.

Pretty sure most people do 60MPH in them when its the speed limit..
Pro is a nice upgrade if you want to spend the money, USB on the back is another positive for the upgrade
Also running 1080p
I tried the at sea chapter and it looks really clean and the framerate is improved, right?
I remember definite drops on the first beach when panning the camera. No drops on pro

Hopefully this is the thread for these questions.
As far as FFXV is concerned for PS4 Pro. Do we know what to expect?
There was a picture floating around here at one time comparing the normal version to the pro version (not sure on the legitimacy of this photo), but it looked like the pro version actually had changes not just related to resolution/supersampling. Trees and terrain in the background were more detailed, lighting looked different, etc.
Have there been any confirmations or should I just expect the same game as normal with better resolution?

There's a thread going around that they're target 1080p/60FPS but that patch won't arrive until December sometime
Yea, this.

Finally got the console and ended up dropping it onto the hardwood flooring while moving my entertainment center around, hope I didn't damage anything inside.

Are Bloodborne/DS3 getting Pro patchs?

No word yet.
They should patch it considering they downgraded some of the lighting for a smoother framerate.

Really? That's surprising. Are you sure there aren't other graphical effects in enhanced mode? Such as what is mentioned in the OP?
The only thing they've done is make it render at 1440p. So on a 1080 display you get a nice supersampled image.
I think you'll find that if it doesn't work it must have arrived in that condition. Unless you've put a huge dent in it lol

Has call of duty infinite warfare been patched for pro? And am I going to notice a difference on all modes? ( Single ayer, zombies, multiplayer)
Edit: and do I have to "switch it on a options menu? Thanks!

Build quality on sony consoles is quite crazy. When i had a launch PS3 it fell about 3 feet on hardwood near the power button. It was messed up there and still worked for about 3 years til it got the YLOD

Then it's just a matter of rendering the game at higher resolution? I don't think so, it looks too good.
From what I can gather yes. That alone will produce a substantially better image on a 1080 screen.

Seriously?! Damn. Here I was testing it last night thinking enhanced visuals mode looked sweet.
Does anyone know if there are any other games with Pro benefits that are similar to Tomb Raider?
Did Dishonored 2 get something similar?

Will it just automatically supersample/downsize whatever the term is and output at 1080p even if I choose the 4k mode?

Telltale needs to get a pro patch for that Batman Episodic series stat then!!!

After trying both, I disagree. But that's just me.
Yeah, so all you have to do is select 4K and you're good to go. Enhanced has some extra bells and whistles, but the picture is clearer in 4K mode. I'll see if I can get a screenshot.

There's too many visible jaggies in the enhanced, and I think the enhancements are largely something that can only be really appreciated by analyzing screenshots. On the other hand, the fantastic image quality provided by 4K downsampling is in-your-face obvious anytime you look anywhere while playing.

Not sure if posted yet, but Gamersyde has some Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4 Pro coverage (and other games too):

http://www.gamersyde.com/news_rottr_with_much_less_aliasing-18536_en.html
Seems like no version is perfect. The framerate on the "High Framerate" mode is just unlocked and bouncing between 30 and 60fps with between 40-50 most of the time. Not a great experience at all.
The other two modes have also performance issues as reported, but no framerate analys for them now. Hopefully it's not another case where performance took a hit on PS4 Pro.
I guess we will know for sure when John from Digital Foundry is showing his summary.

Yeah, as someone about to start the game for the first time, I would love to know which mode to play on. I don't really want to spend my time testing everything out.
Edit:
Seems like I'll go with 4K then unless I see more info before I start it.

High Framerate mode stutters, the enhanced mode has visible jaggies, Just look at the Geothermal Valley in the Gamersyde footage. It's clearly visibile. 4k supersampling seems like the best choice on the pro. You won't see the benefits of the enhanced mode that much in comparison to the much cleaner overall image.

Played Titanfall 2 on a 1080p TV, aliasing is almost non-existent, very clean IQ.

Btw if you liked the high framerate of the previous Tomb Raider game on PS4, you have that option as well. It will give you smoother playability - but the 4K mode has smoother image.
Such a shame. The original ran at a pretty solid 60 on the OG PS4
