still need word on PS2 games. anyone testing?

Most PS2 games were patched for Pro already afaik (at least the ones I own all got patches in November).

Someone test Boost Mode on Street Fighter V & Overwatch.

Street Fighter V: Are the background elements for the OG stages 60fps?

Overwatch: Are the Character Select & Highlight Intros 60fps?

Both: Is gameplay running at 120fps?

Overwatch already has a Pro patch.

Some more oddball titles from me if anyone is interested in performance in lesser played games!

Furi - Better, MUCH less screen tear at the start of the game.

Fallout 4 - Seems locked to 30fps now, aside from occasional hitches which id assume are streaming issues.

Homefront Revolution - Garbage game still, but again, now seems a pretty much locked 30 FPS.

Saints Row 4 - Still not a locked 60FPS unfortunately. Although its undeniably closer. To hazard a guess I'd says its now constantly between 50 and 60. It does spend a fair bit of time of 60FPS however which it didn't before (unless you pointed the camera at the floor or the sky etc)

Grow Home - Still absolute trash performance wise

Vanishing Of Ethan Carter - Now locked 60FPS, even in trouble sops like near the railway line and on the curve near the two houses.

Doing god's work, thank you!

Wallach · Feb 3, 2017

now I wish some games like Skyrim didn't get a Pro patch

edit - lol Fallout 4 will get shit on by getting a Pro patch too

Until Dawn PS4 Pro Boost Mode

Not my footage, didn't really bother looking at the footage either. just passing this along ;p

It might have improved the framerate but it's also messed the audio up. I couldn't make out a word of it.

Son of Flounder · Feb 3, 2017

Tested Yakuza 0, not seen any tearing at all with Beast Mode enabled, even spinning the camera around quickly in densely packed parts of the city or whilst getting pummelled by Mr. Shakedown with a billion Yen flying all over the place!

Also gave Bloodborne a try just for the hell of it, runs like complete arse as expected. The framepacing is so bad it will always feel like it is running at 20FPS to me. I just can't play the damn game because of it.

I'll give Until Dawn a try tomorrow, that was a difficult game for me to get through because of the performance and would love to try a second play through if significantly improved.

GeordieMark · Feb 3, 2017

This makes the Pro waaaaay more appealing to me. Great move.

Sorry for caps, but I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT DOES FOR BLOODBORNE. I have yet to buy a Pro btw.

OW got a Pro patch. Also, YES! i hate how the Character Select runs at 30fps now. its stupid. the game was so sexy.

HeelPower said:
I hate to be that guy but BB still does need an actual patch.

IQ could really use some downsampling ,and boost mode alone wont do that.

Not to mention its likely locked 30fps.

Though I agree, I'm happy to see a much more consistent frame rate.

I can tell you that Witcher 3 is silky, buttery smooth in Novigrad. I tried it at night and day and could see no drops. YouTube is processing, but not sure about the NDA, probably shouldn't be saying either. Doh.

Amazing. Going to play it through again after Blood and Wine.

Pijnboompit · Feb 3, 2017

I've uploaded some Witcher 3 Boostmode footage. Havent played for a while, but it feels smooth.

Yes with vsync disabled 80-90 fps

I had to give that shit up because the performance was so bad.

Actually been continuing on with it since testing and it's running like a dream, and this is full screen.

Might be a reason for me to eventually pick up a pro, though probably as a replacement after the PS5 comes out.

nortonff · Feb 3, 2017

I think that (maybe) Fallout 4 and Skyrim can benefit when installing a lot of mods.
I installed around 5 visual mods on my PS4 and now FO4 runs like crap.

Wollan · Feb 3, 2017

I still have AC Unity in plastic. Very interested to see how that fares.

Haven't played it myself but posts seem to indicate that it's pretty much a consistently locked 30 fps.

But the framepacing issues are still there.

Can see improvement in this comparison. Stutter when approaching the doors at the start completely gone in boost mode.

Here's a REALLY quick video on Bloodborne. Old Yharnam. Sorry, no fancy titles lol first par is peasant mode and second beast mode (starts around 1:22).

Seems like it's still processing so it's kinda low quality

I swear they put the NDA on just for hype value. Commercial outlets like DF can't cover this so it falls to the users to capture all the footage and build word of mouth.

fastest finger · Feb 3, 2017

Dying Light has been massively improved thanks to Boost Mode. All the big frame rate drops, even when dashing around on buggies, have gone. Nice and smooth now.

RICH_OV_HULL · Feb 3, 2017

Does anyone have a spare EU code? I would greatly appreciate it, i really want to try pro boost mode.

Another Bloodborne video. This time I compare Witches from Chalice, because it's the thing that kills the framerate the most.

First is Beast, second is Amateur

Mascot · Feb 3, 2017

Is there any truth to the rumour I just started that this is a bait & switch by Sony to sell everyone a Pro before removing the boost from the public firmware roll-out?

"Hey, it was a beta. There were technical issues with boost".

I'm buying a Pro.

That video is useless since it's 30fps and the game is unlocked up to 60fps.

I don't see any difference, except maybe the little bit of stuttering when you approach the door at the start.

Games with framepacing will be hard to notice differences. Framepacing itself can seem like frame drops.

Xbox1s eliminated some instances of frame pacing so it may still have a benefit.

Beast mode is unlocked and it's 🔥 🔥 🔥

wouwie · Feb 3, 2017

It would be interesting to see if boost mode improves Dirt Rally (don't think there was a pro patch for that game). There was noticable tearing in the Monaco stages iirc.
