PS4 Pro users: do you feel lied to?

[Charlayy]

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.

Pro isnt worth the upgrade unless you have a 4k tv. Stick with youre OG ps4 for now

Visually most games see some improvement even with non 4K tv, as Sony had done a hdr update.
Myself i upgraded to a Pro before got a 4K but sure looks nice now that i have a 4K TV
For FFXIV however the regular PS4 is fine.

Not true. Many games do feature significant performance boosts. This game was supposed to be one, and they fell through.

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

Wait wait wait ... please tell me that is one big lie.

Please i beg of you.

It's a lie lol they said they didn't want to limit ffxiv to low-end tech anymore (such as ps3 and switch)

I think closer to what they said was they were looking into it, to see if it would run nicely with the other versions cuz they didn't want to make a standalone version. I think recently they did continue talking to Nintendo/Microsoft about porting to their systems, but Microsoft has just been difficult as always and they're trying to see if it could be worked out on Nintendo platforms for the future.

For all my opinion's worth, I highly doubt it'll be on the switch. They wouldn't drop one weak system to pick up another. I know Yoshi has wanted to port it over to Nintendo but in my honest opinion, it'd be taking a step back to ps3 times, where you have to account for a system lower than a ps4. They said no promises, but I don't think the performance is there to sustain a game like ffxiv on a portable console without having to revert to patch considerations for lower end tech of the switch. And, well, XBox version would be there if Microsoft would drop the "We want our own servers" and "We'll still require XBox gold" issues.

good technical explanation.

I'm actually impressed with what developers can do with the consoles, but they just don't have the muscle of a pc

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.

I disagree. While it's not pronounced, honestly camera movement and overall experience feels better on the Pro vs the regular PS4. This is particularly noticeable if you're using the "legacy" movement or whatever it is. The one where your character moves with the camera.

But, hey, what would I know.

(I only play racing sims and demand a perfectly smooth frame rate experience so....)

I honestly see the game is smoother on ps4 pro vs the original one.
