Salam PG brothers. After a long wait, the PS4 Pro is finally here. I bought it on launch and thought I'd share it with you all. Enjoy.

I still have a crap load of games to try out on my 4K TV with HDR! I will update this thread to give you my honest opinion in the coming days!

My 4K TV: Sony Bravia (XBR43X800D). Its the perfect balance between features, future proofing and price.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS OF THE PRO:


Battlefield 1: on the standard PS4, the graphics were already pretty awesome. What was hindered was the frame rate in MP.
The PS4 Pro bumps everything up a notch. Difference was immediately apparent. The graphics were much more cleaner and sharper. Textures just seemed more detailed and antialiasing helped bring a more solid graphical experience. The frame rate was even more of an important improvement. It held a very steady and smooth fps. Overall, this is a definitive console experience for Battlefield 1

Titanfall 2: this game is already optimized to run like a champ on standard consoles. Aside from slightly sharper textures and better antialiasing, everything else was the same. So overall, not a big difference from standard consoles.

The Last of Us: OMG- that's all I can say. I'm playing this game again after 3 years in 4K+HDR mode. The last time my jaw dropped like this was in 2007 when I saw Modern Warfare for the first time. TLoU looks incredible on this machine! The textures are ultra sharp! You need to see it in person to know what I mean. The HDR color is fantastic. Its not like the colors are extra bright or something. On the contrary....the colors are more blended; more realistic. The green on trees is definitely a shade we haven't seen on a TV before. Again, this is something you need to see in person.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare: I didn't have high hopes for this game going in but I was thoroughly surprised by the graphical fidelity. The level of detail was striking; with top notch anti-aliasing and big bump in texture resolution. All the bells and whistles we graphic Abuses will lead to bans love is nicely packaged with a ribbon. I also noticed a much lower input lag which made the entire gameplay feel fresh. Highly recommended to try out on the PS4 Pro!

Later on I'll try Rise of the Tomb Raider, Uncharted, Infamous and Fallout 4 and let you guys know.

corrected that for ya :p

though congrats on the purchase beowulf
Lol. We all sense your passive aggressiveness man, not cool.
If you get 4K visuals that looks as good as 90% of native for $400....that's excellent.
And the following games are completely native 4K at release: NBA 2k17, Fallout 4, FIFA 17, TLoU, Skyrim Remastered and Mantis
Don't hate :p

Congratz, I also have a 4k TV and I ABSOLUTELY hate upscaled experience on gaming and regular surfing through windows or web. But in movies you can never judge it because of the greater distance. Adding that my TV itself has a very sexy color calibrated results when it comes to its native things like youtube.

[MENTION=23614]Dr Beowulf[/MENTION] congratulations bro for the first 4k capable console purchase....I don't like it much because dont own a 4k or hdr tv yet and might not for a while and for 1080p antialiasing and notched up pixels at 30fps are not good enough It cant compete my gaming pc with acer x34 display....it would've been an instant buy for me if all the games were optimized like rise of the tomb raider where i could pick eye candy+crap fps, 4k and 30 fps or 1080p 60 fps I'd gladly buy it and play uncharted 4 in 60 fps nfs 60 fps bloodbourne 60 fps the order 18 whatever 60 fps....hope they fix it

I haven't experienced any such issues with HDR as of yet. I'm using a Bravia 4k with HDR. It goes hand in hand with a PlayStation. I heard people using Vizio and Samsung are having issues because they haven't setup their TVs properly. I played The Last of US last night and was spell bounded. Its yet another re-remaster but my God....It's probably the most gorgeous experience I've yet had. Textures are ultra sharp in 4K mode. The HDR color of trees and environment is breathtaking. Its just a different sort of green....very realistic.

As far as your purchase goes. I mean, you're getting a definitive console experience with a $400 product. Sure you can play native 4k on a PC....but at what cost? You don't get HDR either. My recommendation is....if someone wants an amazing experience without the hassle and price of a PC....they should certainly buy this.

Lets see what they offer later on. For now, I wouldn't recommend the Pro for 1080p owners.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
