FFXV might receive additional PS4 Pro support post launch

Notice how he mentionned time and effort(ressources)? This will always be a dilema for developers. Moving forward, they will more or less have to develop 2 games. I suspect most won't go through the trouble, to a significant extent. Which means minuscule improvements. This makes the PS4PRO of questionable value. Some will of course, but their games will take longer to come out. Either way, I don't like what I'm hearing on the PS4PRO front.

I'm gonna be right pissed if I buy this pro, play FFXV, and then three months afterwards it gets a patch that makes it way better. I've waited this long to get a PS4, to pay for a pro and not even get the benefit on the game I'm primarily buying it for would make me livid.
I really hope most companies won't do the bare minimum when it comes to Pro versions of games.
About Persona 5, it will exist a pspro patch for it?

Will there be a pro patch for P5, probably not seeing as the game released before the Sony deadline.
So wait for an actual pro version and sale. I was in no rush to play anyway, want to hear real world impressions first.
This why I am buying a pro.

Is this the thread where we find out that people thought devs hit the "Pro" button and it automatically makes the game look and run better?
Shit takes a lot of time to optimize and QA test for.

This needs to be included in the OP, the thread title is making people think they arent doing anything when that contradicts reality.

I don't know how any of this is surprising but we definitely needed the PS4 Pro concern thread for today.
What? We haven't seen any footage yet, even the Pro reveal was PS4 footage wasn't it? Afaik people mistook the graphical improvements they made for PS4 recently for Pro version.
There was a small bit of footage in the PS Meeting montage video.
maybe they're downplaying the PRO version to keep the focus on the base version, either way we'll see how it looks by release

Definitely not the case, they've demoed the engine and game a lot on PC hardware with extra features.

That was always gonna be the case idky people thought otherwise
This seems to be what's happening.

There are some shots of Pro and looks so better than PS4.
Even after the improvements in PS4 it looks really below what you expect from a game this gen... it has a pretty bad IQ but I hope it runs good.

indeed
and it looks sooooooooo good on a 4K screen
Seriously guys, look at this.
they said it runs a little slower fps on PS3 and 60 on a PS4
not sure where they'll go for Pro, but i hope it's native 1080 on the regular
At a 576x324 gif?
Pretty sure it's 30 on PS4.
P5 runs 30 FPS on PS4. The PS4 version gets 1080P and slightly faster loading, that's it.

Can't believe I'm just seeing these, I've only seen the small gifs, but I'm sold...keeping my preorders. Thanks
I mean, this seems to be happening with the Pro overall. Sure they had an event for the reveal but it's not like they've been showing off a lot of stuff to the masses. Perhaps that will change in a few weeks.
And I think if the Pro version of FFXV just gets locked 1080p and more stable frame rates, that's enough for me. But I don't think I'll be keeping my Pro for very long anyway.
I dunno, in some areas it could look better. But in others in the improved builds it really does look like a current gen game.
Looks pretty competitive with other current gen games.
Outside of the hair still having artifacts the IQ is pretty clean now, even Gears 4 has hair artifacts on console. They've fixed up their TAA as seen from Gamersyde's high bitrate vids.

We definitely need a proper comparison between the 2 versions. It seems to me that the Pro version upon release at least, will be nothing more than a bump to 4K and nothing else.
Looks like the team will offer a proper PS4 Pro patch down the line but nobody will be giving a lot of fucks if they release that 6 months or 1 year later...

Are you trying to make a point with gifs? GT5 looks real life on gifs.Looks pretty competitive with other current gen games.

I watched high quality direct feed and the IQ looks bad... that was my initial comment.
Pro looks to put it where it should always be... of course I expect more from Pro but it is already something worth.

You said it looks really below what you'd expect from current gen. Don't really think that's the case especially now

Jesus, the amount of reading comprehension fail is this thread is staggering. Even after quotes from the media explaining exactly how the game will look better on PS4 Pro, people are still complaining and saying stupid things like "canceling my pre order now blah blah blah".
Is it that hard to read the whole thing instead of just the thread's title? Holy shit, lock this thread, there's nothing to discuss here, the game is guaranteed to have better IQ on PS4 Pro, nothing to see here folks.

Your comment came across as more than just IQ, which is why I posted gifs of more recent builds. Lighting, shaders, vegetation rendering, animations are all competitive for current-gen. Plus regarding the IQ comment, that's what the pic is for. There isn't much in that screen that's worse than the IQ of other open world games on console.

People will try hard to say it's not a noticeable improvement in order to justify in their minds to stay with a base ps4

It is IMO bad IQ.
Pretty much in the same boat. This combined with the Final fantasy reskinned PS4 slim will make me wait for first week demonstrations of the Pro's performance.
I seriously expected stable framerate with the game played with the Pro. If it's only better than the PS4 in the crziest scenarios which will be rare then I don't see a need to get the Pro right now.
Square's PR response makes no sense in light of what Sony said they will require from devs.

Well, I guess that answers the question from that thread posted the other day. That 2nd translation seems much more positive. Hopefully it works out for Pro owners.
That said, wow - a lot of interviews keep asking about a PC version. This the 4th time or so since March. Don't know why they expect a different answer from the last 3 interviews. That said, I'm really glad they keep asking the question.
