PS4 Pro users: do you feel lied to?

Oh man, I just realized who you are. The DualShockers guy. That's hilarious. Always hated that site. Anyway..

"It will be supported at the same time as Patch 4.0.

There will be two modes available for the PlayStation®4 Pro. One mode will retain the current resolution while increasing the frame rate. With this mode, you can expect a stable 60FPS even in scenes with many people.

The other mode retains the current existing frame rate but increases the resolution. Of course, the game is playable on the standard PlayStation®4 as well, so please think of these as features for those who already own or plan to purchase a PlayStation®4 Pro."

If this stuff doesn't concern you, it's time to leave the thread. This is for people who want answers, not for the people who actually have trouble with English, bro. Go play the game or something.

That's fine, for one who hates us, there are many more who appreciate our coverage. I reckon you're in a vastly overwhelmed and insignificant minority. And given your attitude, it doesn't really bother me.

I'm afraid that you're the one who doesn't understand English "bro."

Aside that this is a from a digest, which means a quickly translated summary -and not a word-by-word translation - of the much more conditional statement Yoshida made, "you can expect a stable 60FPS even in scenes with many people" does not in any shape or form promises stable 60 FPS in ALL scenes. "Many" people is a very vague statement which you're wrongly interpreting as an absolute one.

Bottomline, if you really expected 100% stable 60 FPS in a MMORPG that doesn't have wow-like prehistoric graphics on a console that isn't a monster by any stretch of the imagination, you had unrealistic expectations. That's all there is to it. You don't get 100% stable 60 FPS everywhere at 1080p even on a PC with a GTX970, i7 CPU and 32 gigs of RAM, which is miles ahead in terms of juice. Expecting a PS4 Pro to outperform that is laughable.

Anyway, any other PS4 Pro users have anything to share? Experiences, outrage, concerns, wonders?

It was in a Live Letter. The exact quote from it is a message or two above.

Having 60fps locked everywhere is nowhere near possible for ps4 pro, maybe dungeons and primal fights. But in the open world? Not by a long shot.

Why? i mean i am almost 100% certain Horizon Zero Dawn is 60fps and never ever have i had any issues.
Witcher 3 is suppose to get a Pro patch also, not sure if it is for framerate or what.

Anyhow, i have FFXIV set to the 2nd option (for 4k TV) and it sure does look nice, only thing now is the text and all that is so damn small, lol.
Tomorrow if i could even get back on i will test the other mode

.........Horizon is a constant locked 30fps. That said, what some of you dont realize is that the reason 60fps locked in open world isnt possible on pro let alone even most high end PC's is due to the CPU. MMO's are CPU bottlenecked not GPU. So when the CPU cant feed the GPU its instructions fast enough (in heavily populated areas), thats where the fps drops happen aka CPU bottleneck.

I'm not sure if it's the same on the PS4, but you can change the UI size in the settings on the PC.

On another note since I am on PS4 Pro as well, it hands down runs better in areas expected. Fps stays at a locked 60fps in dungeons/less crowded areas and you can feel the difference when moving or using skills. Before, the fps would drop in 8-mans even with boost mode enabled (45-60fps) due to all of the effects. Not the case anymore. And even in more populated areas, fps improvements across the board compared to pre patch. As a PC player who's used to 120fps, I can hands down notice the difference and in fact, noticed it within seconds of logging into Limsa this morning with an average amount of people around (50+fps).

If you are that bothered about FPS buy a PC, not hard really.
