The PlayStation 4 Pro introduces a mid-cycle console shake up, bringing with it\u00a0a whole host new additions to your favourite games.<\/p>\n
This can be anything from a simple 4K output update to being able to play games at 6o frames a second at 1080p.<\/p>\n
Because every game is different, it can be difficult to tell exactly whether or not it’s worth your time buying the new console.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, Digital Foundry<\/a><\/strong> has tested a number of the most popular titles and the new features added to each on the PS4 Pro:<\/p>\n A number of titles, namely Ratchet and Clank, FIFA 17, Infinite Warfare and Rise of the Tomb Raider<\/strong> can be played in true 4K.<\/p>\n That means that there’s no up-scaling trickery going on in the background and it shows that there is indeed quite a bit of power in the console.<\/p>\n The framerate will take a hit, but considering the equivalent cost of a 4K graphics card in South Africa this proves the PS4 Pro could be a decent investment.<\/p>\n Other games like Battlefield 1 and Uncharted 4<\/strong> benefit from the super-sampling and added horsepower even if it isn’t a true UHD gaming expereince.<\/p>\n While it’s clear that a lot of work was put into upgrading some of these titles to match the PS4 Pro’s hardware, some seem to have just stumbled at the final block.<\/p>\n Assassins Creed Syndicate and Black Ops 3<\/strong> prove that there’s still plenty of room to improve with some unusual visual artifacting and weird resolution dips.<\/p>\n More egregious are games like Overwatch choose to not make use serious use of the new power and offer virtually nothing new.<\/p>\n Overwatch is not the type of game that would benefit greatly from a graphics boost, but it does show that the hardware is limited by how much effort the developers are willing to put in.<\/p>\n Chances are if you’re going to buy a PS4 Pro, your mind has already been made up and you have a pre-order down.<\/p>\n Others may want to hold onto their PS4 just a tad longer especially if they don’t already have a 4K television or monitor.<\/p>\n In addition it’s clear that the potential is there and that it will take time for developers to get a handle on the new technology meaning the first couple of titles like above will be a bit spotty.<\/p>\n Having said that, it’s clear that future of PlayStation rests with the PS4 Pro and it wouldn’t surprise us if it’s become the de facto experience a year from now.<\/p>\n Will your games actually look and play better on the PS4 Pro?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":234,"featured_media":112313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11681],"tags":[19129,7702,22567,435],"class_list":["post-112311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-playstation","tag-framerate","tag-graphics","tag-ps4-pro","tag-update"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/234"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112311"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":112323,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112311\/revisions\/112323"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The Good\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
