    PS4 PRO and FFXIV Graphics and Framerate Patch

    Hi can we expect the development team to deliver a patch to accompany the release of PS4 Pro on November 10th for 4k and higher graphic settings and a consistent 60fps on 1080p.

    It's being said that Sony won't allow multiplayer in games to receive framerate improvements to keep it fair with the non Pro users but will FFXIV be the exception because of the existing PC players who already get a framerate advantage.

    Thanks.

    The PS4Pro is just another PS4 - except it has better performance. The same games will run on either piece of hardware. Developers may take advantage of the additional performance of the PS4 Pro if they wish, but only in terms of the graphics and framerates.

    No patch to the game is required for it to run on PS4Pro, it will run with better frame rates and possibly better fidelity. If SE wishes they can include additional graphical optimizations for PS4Pro - as long as they do not impact game play - allowing the game to look better on PS4Pro, but play no differently to PS4.

    Sony has not said anything about locking frame rates to existing PS4 framerates in online games to "maintain fairness". The framerates in PS4 are fine as is, this isn't a real time game in any case. Regardless of all of that controller and network latency make several frames per second difference in framerate irrelevant.

    If it's anything like the NEW3DS, I'd say don't bother.

    Unless devs start dropping a ton of exclusives on it, this kind of upgrade is just a cash grab.

    It's unlikely we'll be getting a patch like that any time soon. Devs are busy with making content for the next in game patch, and are likely too focused on releasing those on time rather than spend time and effort on making the PS4 version run a bit better.

    The game will undoubtedly already run far better on the new PS4 Pro hardware (as it is more than likely the same architecture and all despite having higher performing specs). All they can really do for the current PS4 is optimizations for the game. Those may come eventually, perhaps closer to or some time after 4.0's release. I don't see it happening within the next few months though.

    Unless a person does not already have a PS4 why would person want to spend another $400 for slightly better specs then what they already have.

    Multi-player framerate is for shooters. In DCUO ps4 players can play the game at 60fps while ps3 players and low end pc players cannot. It only affects pvp in a very small way and is more a hardware issue than fps issue.

    There will be no PS4Pro exclusive games, that is one of the cardinal rules Sony set. The system will run games rendered/scaled at 4k resolution, that is who it's for. It will render better at 1080p that a regular PS4 which will give better framerates and perhaps some additional fidelity due to the substantially better hardware. But the same game that runs on PS4 runs on PS4Pro.

    Video game journalists at the event report that multiplayer games will run at the same framerate on both PS4 and Pro. So I'd assume that'd be the case here.

    Well with the PS4Pro being the same jaguar processor and and pimped up GPU i wouldn't really expect any improvements. MMO's tend to be CPU bound for performance. Not worth me getting the Pro IMO

    Looks like consoles are still trying to imitate what PCs do.
