ESO looks great on the pro

I really hope they improve the frame rate and loading screens as that's one of the mayor difference with pc, graphical quality and resolution could be better but no as noticeable as the other 2. but other than that those are the mayor drawbacks from ps4/pc.

PS4 Pro supports SATA3, so you can make use of that those solid state hybrid hard drives for fast load times.

For Paragon on PS4 Pro, Epic has added dynamic lighting along with enhanced geometry and scene complexity. The game also utilizes new volumetric effects such as light shafts and fog; motion blur; enhanced HLOD (hierarchical level of detail) and increased view distance; screen space reflections; contact shadows; procedural grass; and advanced light bloom.

“From a rendering perspective it lets us more closely realize our vision for the game by reducing the number of compromises we have to make for performance,” he said.

Paragon runs at a rock solid 60fps in full 1080p on PS4 Pro... [It's normally 900p/60fps.]

ESO is much less demanding than XIV but also worse optimized in some cases (at least on PC), i was playing at 4k60 when i had a single GTX970 (GTX1080 now), the improvement wasn't much if any compared to the 970, MMOs rely heavily on CPU, and my i5 doesn't really help.

Only in Towns ESO would drop to 30s, whereas in XIV at 4k i get high 40s, but i also see a lot more people in ESO, i guess because it's a Megaserver, i also don't think ESO has occlusion culling at all which is a MUST specially in MMOs.

That said, just because ESO got a 4k patch it doesn't mean it's possible on the Pro, either way the Pro should at least allow for more stable 1080p60, personally i won't buy the Pro unless FFXV gets stable 60FPS on it, which news surfaced today about it being like that.

Also, don't expect to buy the Pro, launch FFXIV and it will be faster, it won't happen, things need to be patched first, the only thing that could speed the game up would be a SSD and the Pro comes with a normal 1TB HDD

SE, please release a patch to support the PS4 Pro. Thank you.

Iv a ps4 , i not want buy a ps4 named ps4 pro after 1 years i finally got a ps4 . Will wait ps5 Xd

I have a 2TB SSD the Samsung 850 EVO. When I have everything downloaded again. I will see how the load times are.

I've had a 250gb samsung evo 840 (i think it was) running for a while now, and loading times are a LOT faster, often i'm running around before others in my party even appear.

I just bought a 4k tv and it's arriving soon, so I am glad you made this thread.

How was the transition from PS4 to the pro with FF14?

WOW! The load times on a SSD are super fast. And moving every over to the pro is easy just make sure you upload your system data to the cloud or a USB drive.

I don't have a Pro, but it's the same thing until patched.

A console it's not a PC where you upgrade the CPU or GPU and see immediate benefits, things need to be patched first.

That is correct, sony made it clear that games will need to be patched for the enhancements to come into effect.

I highly recommend if people can, to get a SSD, i have an old one, 120GB OCZ Agility 3, even Windows 10 is installed on it long FFXIV, then i have normal HDDs.

Even on console it will make a big difference, just by clicking the buttons to change jobs it goes from a few seconds until character loads all gear to instantly showing all gear even if spamming the job buttons, this is an example.

I assume even the menu interaction on PS4 will be faster, i put my white PS4 on sale yesterday and got 12 replies in under 5 minutes which is a lot considering where i live, i'm only selling it for 200€ with GTA5, Destiny and Dragon Quest Heroes, i didn't use the console that much so it's dirty cheap. Dude comes to get it today.

I only did this after i read FF15 is getting 60FPS on Pro, but they're still working on it, really hope they get it to 60.

However i don't like the color of the current Pro, i guess i'll wait for a white one again (to match my PC color), i've waited this long to play FF15 can wait a few more months until they release more color variations of the Pro.

Would be nice if Square could at least let us know if they are considering a pro patch.

Nice thread. If I didn't get it wrong to keep settings/gearsets/crossbars and whatnot I only have to use the upload to cloud with PS+? Can anyone confirm? Thank you!

I'll just tune into the SSD conversation and say this:
Even on a PS3, I load into areas and dungeons faster than every PS4 and PS4pro player. An SSD makes a huge difference in loading times it's almost ridiculous.

The Pro comes with a 5400 RPM HDD, lol.

But yes, even if people buy the Pro and this game gets a Pro patch, a SSD will always make a big difference.

Rise of Tomb Raider also looks rather nice on the Pro, though for some reason it seems to drop frames in the "enhanced visuals" mode, or so it seemed.
Skyrim looks so nice :)
I should have installed my 2 Tb drive i had on my other PS4 but just wanted to play, haha

this. if eso can release a texture update, why can't se? D:

just look at the improvement on the details by giving it higher res textures, and if applied to the rest of the game, that's an overall better experience (graphically) for everyone

I have a lot of money invested into my PS4 regarding digital gaming. I do not want to spend $400+ when all I will play is FFXIV and ESO. At the same time, I have a lot of games on my PS4 hard drive that I would not want to redownload due to the file sizes. There's the transfer of data, but that would mean that I need to keep the original PS4 as well...no thanks!

Bear in mind that even on the most powerful PC FFXIV still runs, & looks, like a game from a decade ago (even the DX11 version) due to the graphics & optimisation choices. SE has a pseudo-policy of ensuring that all players have a similar experience given that they play on cross platform servers. Until the PS3 is abandoned for good come 4.0 there won't be any major changes.

There is a genuine potential for FFXIV 4.0 to look, & play, exceptionally superior to what we currently have if, & only if, SE realise the potential of the PS4 (+Pro) & PC.

You can always use the backup function, no?
Myself i just saved game saves and what not t a usb and only re-installed games i knew i would go back to.
