Sony Japan is rolling.
Glad that the framerate is solid.

You mean like variable frame rates the way GG did with Killzone Shadow Fall?
Also a no in that case. 30fps locked on all modes from info we are given.

I guess I'm gonna be an outlier here, but that motion blur is disgusting. Ruins it IMO.

The sheer density of this game for a open world in the cities compared to other games along with huge amounts of seperate interactable free objects everywhere all within close quaters and high numbers of npc's coupled with tons of physics in one place especially when there enemies in the area is awesome all this is way too taxing on the CPU even when optimising for GPU to do CPU tasks as much it can do it's still pushing it, it's impressive considering the hardware and what it achieved in this vast freely explorable open world game
I want whatever the hell he's been smoking.

Wait, you want this gorgeous looking game to look worse?
Wait... why would this be a good thing? Surely as many bells and whistles as possible for the "Pro" version would best. Isn't that the point of it?

Nice. Not sure why I wasn't expecting support, but duh... appreciated though.

It's really impressive how much Japan Studio managed to accomplish on both the PS4 and Pro with this game. I think the motion blur does the game justice because the demo ran rather smoothly even though this is a 30fps game.

Sounds like both versions are top notch. I'm excited to play at the end of the month!

I agree, native 4K is impressive with graphics like this. Just wait till other games that have more time to utilize it like Horizon and GTS. GTS in 1440p will look amazeballs.

Native 4K...DAMN.
I still remember that comment someone made in a thread a while back that said that the game looked like it had low production values.

Hyped! this game is going to be sweet!!
I was kind of suprised by the Vita footage at the start of the video. The Vita game looked way worse than I remembered. And I have played through it twice on Vita. I guess the Vitas small screen helped.

Its not native 4K. Its native geometry scaling. The geometry is rendered at 4K, meaning the edges on geometry have the quality of 4K, but the actual framebuffer is still rendered at a lower resolution(maybe 1080p?)
You do know that 4K Checkerboard rendering is better than this right?
But if you're just happy to see the words "Native 4K" go ahead & enjoy

I played the demo on Pro and sort of assumed it was Pro mode, I was already impressed with the visuals...
Now I'm really dying to play this game.

So great to see. Not only that it's a good performer, but also just the continuingly great tone used when the game is described. One of my true dream sequels is a critical hit...now let's hope it pulls off some commerical success, to reward the dev and encourage more of the same.

This game looks amazing, although I only played the original for about an hour, will definitely pick this one up and jump in
You should flex your superior intellect muscles by insulting him instead of taking 15 seconds to clarify!
Awesome! Thanks!
I think it's worth remembering this and what geometry scaling actually means.
I'm going to butcher this now to keep it as simple as possible but the geometry is rendered at 2160p so it will look like it would if it was a full 4K image but everything else is rendered at a lower resolution, which I assume is going to be 1080p.
DF do make a point that it is softer than a full 4K image.
This is going to sound terrible but think of it as a combination of a native 1080p image and a native 2160p image, that's why geometry edges look like 4K but things like textures look like 1080p. It's more complicated than that but on the most basic level, that is what they appear to be doing here.
That's if DF are correct by stating that it is using geometry scaling.
It's essentially a cheaper way of outputting a 4K image, cheaper than a good implementation of checkerboard rendering but less effective because of the lower resolution of anything that isn't geometry....sort of.
At least that was my interpretation of the original (20th October 2016) DF article concerning the meeting with Mark Cerny when they first published it, anyway.
EDIT:
I've just noticed that this has been covered by somebody else.

I just want 60 fps :/
Yeah, you're better than that, onQ. Leave that shit to your haters.

Eh OK. I'll have to watch the video to see exactly what they did.
Eat me.

Maybe his tv isnt calibrated? Overly saturated factory default colors could ruin the look of the game. His tv is still probably overscanning too, thereby reducing image quality.

Here's a 3840x2160 gameplay capture from BOUND and a 600% zoomed crop from the sun in the bottom right.
With close examination, you can see the dark geometry edge works on a native 2160p pixel grid whereas the bloom from the sun, and subtle green texture detail is limited to a quarter-res, 1080p grid.

Mmmmm looks delicious. Can't wait
What are you talking about? I was just letting him/her know that this isn't as good as Checkerboard rendering
I'm lost did I say something insulting?
Why are you even mad about that?

I don't see any insult there
They'd need twice as many physics calculations per second to be able to do that so it's was never really going to happen here, not with all that stuff bouncing around.
