PS4 Pro users: do you feel lied to?

[Lyraele]

I've been happy with the PS Pro vs PS4. Frame rate has been more stable is my perception. SephEx in particular I used to get slowdowns/glitches for some parts and haven't noticed since SB on the PS Pro. Loading times can still be a drag, but I expect that'll improve once I get around to buying and installing an SSD. I'm pleased that FFXIV is quite playable from the comfort of my couch, I spend all day at work at my desk with computers, I'd rather not do that in my play time.

Are they going to give us free PCs then too? It's already confirmed that it's PCs holding the game back, namely the 32-bit toasters half the fanbase in Japan still uses. Please don't be jerks to other people and criticise their ability to play the game. We already missed out on the whole of 1.x and had to migrate hardware (in many cases) once.

I'm not saying that my PS4 runs the game better than PC (heck, my OG PS4 runs a heck of a lot worse than my buddies right now, since I don't have a SSD!)

But I still don't want to go PC.

Sorry wasn't meant to criticize - more like a jab at the guy complaining that the game doesn't run at 60 fps on his "pro" console...of course it doesn't and him claiming they promised it would run at 60 locked everywhere was a ridiculous statement - mine was meant to be equally ridiculous but I suppose sarcasm is hard to convey in this format.

my graphics card cost more than a PS4 yet I have dips below 60fps from time to time. as long as it doesn't go sub 30 it's not a big deal IMO. It shouldn't impair you at like 40fps.

Never said it should run 60 everywhere. You're really grasping at straws now.

Should i spend $400 on a PS4 Pro based on this new switch that was added at Stormblood launch? Or just keep using my original PS4? Please only answer if you have upgraded from PS4 to PS4 pro. Thanks.

Just in case people didn't see it:

Based on "With this mode, you can expect a stable 60FPS", I got a PS4 Pro.
I didn't understood it would be a locked 60FPS. I understood I could expect 60FPS.

What I get is some stable 30FPS.

Disappointed, to say the least.

This topic is about PS4 Pro users' feedback regarding the framerate option.
Comments about PC are off topic and taunting.
If you're not a developper who actually worked on that PS4 Pro's option, please stay silent about such option's feasability.

"According to Yoshida-san, players should be able to experience stable 60 FPS with the mode that favors frame rate, even if he did not specify if the frames per second will be locked or not."

Was also on the stream, if you want to look it up in any of their archives, where they talk about it. It obviously won't achieve a locked 60 in all zones, which is to be expected, and was a point they made. However, they specifically mention "Two" modes. One aimed at higher performance, with the current resolution, the other maintaining the current frame rate with higher resolution.

In reality, it seems as if they kept not only the previous resolution, but also the previous frame rate from pre-patch for the "Performance" mode. A "Performance" mode that actually doesn't even exist as an option on the video settings tab (or very recently was, ninja status anyway). I wouldn't say I feel lied to, but it does feel a bit like a bamboozle. It feels like they're using a technicality to get around the fact that they might not have actually worked on a performance upgrade for the base resolution.

"Well, you CAN toggle on 4k, and that WILL lower your FPS, so technically the non-4k IS performance mode ;^)." That's kind of the mindset they seem to want for us to adapt. Doesn't feel exactly forthcoming of them.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll save my money for a high end PC.

[Demetri_Delethorn]

I agree with the post that is two above this one. I think the people seeing improvements are seeing a placebo, and they totally shafted us on a technicality.

They just hold the game back - too bad they can't drop support for PS4 entirely. Maybe at the end of SB for the next expansion they can give out free PC copies for transitioning potato console owners like they did for PS3>PS4.

To bad that will never happen since there is talk of this game going to the switch as well
