No 4k TV btw.

Nope, I know there will be a difference on my 1080 TV.

Unless everything runs at 60FPS this is pointless personally. And considering Sony are limiting this on MP, then I dont see this as a big deal.

PlayStation really missed a trick with no uhd player incentive

DONT FORGET TO DEACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE SELLING THE OLD PS4

Just a little warning as my brother sold his last week and forgot so had to reset on PlayStation site and only allowed to do it once every 6 months

My account online says 6 devices Active. Is there anyway to see that list? I assume its the PS4/PS3/App etc?

Out of interest, what games? I don't think any of mine are going to benefit. My hopes are stealth VR supersampling patches across the board.

Any games with a 4K mode will get you free super sampling AA in 1080P mode.

No they won't. That's up to the developer whether to implement.

Yes they will, if the game supports 4K and you display it on a 1080P TV the game is still rendering at 4K, it gets downsampled to 1080P to display on your TV which effectively gets you Super Sampled AA.

Other aspects of the PS4 Pro became evident during our various demos. First of all, while most developers seem intent on supporting enhanced resolutions and HDR, the fact is that users of 1080p screens will only benefit from super-sampling, and perhaps a smoother frame-rate on most titles.

Paragon
PS4 Pro with a 1080p display:

Enhanced visual effects, procedural ground cover, higher scene complexity, greater texture fidelity, and dynamic reflections.

The Witness
PS4 Pro with a 1080p display:

1080p resolution instead of 900p and increased antialiasing quality from 2x to 4x MSAA, while keeping a solid 60 FPS.

That's two. The majority may well use supersampling but not every one will.

Can anybody recommend a 2tb sshd to go with my pro?

andshrew · 1 Nov 2016 at 16:44

Seagate Firecuda seems to be the most recommended (and possibly only?) option.

malachi · 1 Nov 2016 at 16:48

Amazon have started doing bundled deals with the Pro.

Devs would be foolish not to take advantage of the Pro for 1080p. It's their biggest PS4 audience and what better way to showcase their games.

Sony also need to be forthcoming towards them. If people have an XB1 / PS4 Pro at home, you could sway purchasing decisions for games with a simple patch.

That's the one I've been looking at. I think I'll go with it.

Those who are on the fence about buying a 4k screen just for the new PS4 Pro should watch this:

The 16bit retro consoles the yank has are crap on modern TVs, I wonder if he's got an old CRT...

Their biggest PS4 audience are the people with PS4s, no Pros.

The PS4 Pro is still going to be bottle necked by the CPU, so in CPU intensive games things will still struggle.

I don't think there are any CPU intensive games on consoles. Do you know any?
