Excellent point, we could still see further improvements to the Xbox version.

DF: Fortnite. No Pro support, mid-20s, improper frame-pacing... Better on Xbox One!

Bruh.... LMFAO!
It is down to lower resolutions having better frame rates. Think about what developers could do with Xbox One X if they didn't want to do a 4K game. Could probably not only make each game locked 60fps at 1080p, but I wonder what kind of visual fidelity they could push if they didn't have to do 4K or checkerboard 4K and struggle with 30 or sub-30 frames.
PS4 Pro is more powerful as is the PS4 over Xbox One. So keeping in mind it is still early access, if it was also 900p, you would see it be superior to Xbox One.
Yeah. I really wish that MS wouldn't push the 4K narrative so hard, but as I've stated in the past, the love relationship that these companies have to get the best resolution stems from the gamers making it a priority at the beginning of this gen.

If anyone was in any doubt, yes, this is indeed a digital foundry thread.
I love how these threads melt fanboy's brains and raise heart rates. Also part of the GAF experience.
It's a pity that the obvious needs explaining but still, nice that someone took the time to put into words what's going on.

You'd have thought Epic could get their poorly performing UE4 engine running smoothly on PS4 but no.

If it's for sale, it should be reviewed. Don't know why people are salty at DF for analyzing a commercial product.

And has a slightly higher clocked CPU.
Poorly performing? Have you seen Paragon? Have you seen Street Fighter V? Unreal Engine runs very well on PS4.

Because they know that the info DF gave out will result in hard passes from every PS4 and Pro owner.
Just one post above yours, actually. What is wrong with some people?

I love the smell of salt in the air - saves me a trip to the sea
You better get used to it though. This will be the norm as soon as Xbox One X is out.

And then it will switch with the PS5, and then the Xbox Two, the ride that never ends!

The Xbox GPU seems to have nailed 900p 99% of the time while devs struggle to push PS4 to 1080p. I would rather have better performance than more pixels every day of the week.
It's not like the video was made in a single day. They also do a good job at following up when there are things like updates to improve performance or add features. The backlash on them really isn't warranted considering what they and anyone playing the game right now has access to.

I haven't noticed any of those issues on ps4 but I've been soloing alot (the game is too easy with 4 people). It is ea but yeah they need to improve.
They really never did that at all not till nxgamer did and started covering patches, then they followed him.

One is 900p the other is 1080p.

I think it's 900p/60 on ps4. I don't think it's on x1. They are vastly different games.

That doesn't explain bad frame-pacing issues on Ps4&Pro.

Embarrassing.
Epic Games should be ashamed especially after releasing the stellar Paragon.

That's pretty much the bottom line here for me. Of course it can get better later. That's true for almost all games these days with day 1 or day 10 patches. BotW got a little better after a patch or two, so did BF4 with extensive work. None of that however, should have any bearing on a product being sold today and is being reviewed today.

Whats to be embarrassed about? The game is in Early Access. If it were like this at final release (when it's free to play), all of this hyperbole would have a place (sorta, but barely)

When did Playstation get a 'Game Preview' program? I thought Xbox and Steam were the only platforms that support that. Good for PS!

I feel sorry for people that bought a Pro. Maybe I'm ignorant on the library of enhanced games, but I feel like I'm never seeing substantial improvements over the vanilla versions.

Paragon is still in Open Beta if I remember correctly and also released in Early Access. Not being fully released yet isn't an excuse especially when they are charging people for it at retail.
There are substantial improvements for most games. We just have a few bad eggs like this game. Paragon, a game also released by Epic Games shows significant improvements over the OG PS4 version. Which makes this game's problems even more baffling.
Seems like it. Plenty of games that are significantly improved on Pro. The few shit ones of course are what draw the most attention, most especially when you get headlines like DF's to go with them.

Is that so bad? They just get it when it's free and hopefully it will also run better.
I don't see the issue.

So fucking what? It's still a product that's available to buy today so comparing the different versions is perfectly valid.

I feel sorry for people that make statements like this. My Pro was worth every penny and I have a 1080p projector.

Don't feel sorry for us, most of us are enjoying the benefits it has brought to the table. PSVR is a totally different beast when paired with the Pro. The additional USB port is another great plus to the machine, once you get in to games with faster load times, boost mode, 4k CB and Native there is nothing to be feeling sorry for at all. The price difference between a 1TB Pro and 1TB PS4 is small enough to make the gains extremely good value for money.
Yeah you are ignorant. The Pro is a must if you have a PSVR and/or a 4K TV.

But the game is out at retail. You can buy it in stores right now.
They're selling physical retail copies of early access games now? That is really really strange.
So much this. Remember Ark ? That giant piece of garbage on console ? Having screen tearing in 2017 on console is proof that you don't give a shit about your game.

All this fighting over an early access game.
You really can't call a game that gets a full-priced physical release at retail an early access title. So I'm glad that DF is analyzing the release version as it is.
I take it you don't follow PSVR? The Pro is worth it just for that, imo. Base PS4 just can't handle VR properly.
Do you know Final Fantasy 15?
