Ok now THIS looks incredible. Definite difference over the regular version. Sometimes they look like completely different times of day when you switch between HDR and non. A ton more detail.
The last of us looks like crap compared to this. I'm excited to see my tv actually can make a difference with HDR.

You can even see at night, the color information is completely different. Red becomes a yellow with red glow.
And when Delsin uses his neon powers at night? Ooooo buddy

Someone needs to test night scenes [with neon power] ASAP!
I went to a PlayStation event recently and they were demo'ing a PS4 Pro with both First Light and Horizon: Zero Dawn.
I was told that the PS4 Pro will not be adding 4K native to the Infamous games, but will ensure a solid 60fps.
As for HDR, it looks absolutely incredible at night. Neon signs in the distance go from dull distant colours into vibrant neon. The power effects are much brighter and detailed. Street lights etc all pop more.
Checkerboard rendering then I assume?
Interesting about 60fps as well as these games were originally something like 40-50fps unlocked with tearing and then that patch came out that allowed 30fps lock.
60fps would be nice!

60 FPS 1080p locked with extra AA would be superb. And then there's HDR which is like a perfect fit for this game.

shame that non-pro users have to download the same patch.
normal ps4 also supports HDR.
Non-Pro users can also play with HDR if they have new 4K TVs.

Added a few more screens. The last one at night is the biggest difference I think.

No not native...
But i read somewhere on GAF that First Night would get a resolution bump. And that doesn't have to be native 4K ofcourse.
Quick question (without ending up in the nightmare nether realm that is current TV feature set/tech nomenclature/terminology...).
Would your TV hypothetically be able to play/display HDR content even if it wasn't HDR compatible? Or will the game/bluray/clip not play at all or display incorrectly (artifacts, glitches etc)?
In other words; If I'm unsure whether or not my 2015 Samsung SUHD 4K TV (that supposedly received an HDR firmware update) supports HDR (just supports now guys, let's not open up the conversation for HDR10, HDR+, 4:4:4, 4:2:0, REC 2020, DCI P3...wait where am I?) will I be able to ascertain this simply by enabling whatever 'HDR' features my TV and console have and checking if anything is displayed or not?
Because so far I've only tested some Samsung 'HDR 4K demo' reels via USB and the files specifically state "only playable on TVs that support HDR" and they seem to play correctly, yet I'm still unsure whether or not I can play HDR content.
Virtual kiss to whoever sets me straight...

If you have any of the HDR enabled games, I would assume that you either get a prompt after loading the game saying that it can output in HDR like the Last of Us, or it just activates it right away as in the case of Second Son. That's how it behaves on my Sony 940C.

Yeah, reminds me of an old sketch show where some old couple were watching an ad for the brand new colour TV on their old black and white set. "Looks just the same to me" they grumbled
You will not see the full effect however its clear in the above images that there is a positive difference
I understand you don’t need to have Pro for HDR, but since I have no plans to upgrade my TV anytime soon, these game patches are just clogging up my HDD. I wish Sony would give the option instead of everyone gets the patch. Wishful thinking I’m sure…

Nice! You got a Sony TV too! Is that the 850B? I was going to get that, but when I was playing with the remote at BB it started controlling all the Sony TV's at once in the Magnolia section and the 940C just put everything there to shame. Had to pick it up.
Edit: I haven't had to change any settings other than motionflow back to Smooth 2. How's HDR been for you?
Robot Pants

I have the 850c which barely does HDR just like yours (you got the patch right?) Your tv is better than mine so it's gonna look great, mine looks great too, but people with real HDR tvs are gonna love it. I was worried this patched in HDR wasn't gonna be any good, but between this, Gears, and how amazing UHD blu rays have looked, I'm hyped. GIMMIE that PRO.
Yeah it does. The one that really stand out to me is the one with Delsin standing in front of the pink neon cubes. The detail in them with HDR on is impressive

Yeah I got the patch that enabled all 4 ports to 4:4:4 60hz. Do you know how bright your panel can go? The 940C can reach 1300 nits of brightness. It's eye searing. When I watch regular content, I can't go past 12 on the backlight due to how bright it gets. I think 40 or 50 is the max.
Something Sony calls geometry rendering, which seems to be pretty much the old MSAA trick.
Gives perfect 4k edge resolution and shading done at 1080p.
Really hope it has post AA done at full resolution.

Unfortunately I wish mine was that bright. Mine I think is only 282 which is not very bright compared to newer HDR tvs. I have mine set to max in all modes.
If yours can go that bright then Infamous and pretty much anything else is gonna look amazing
Because MS wants you to upgrade to the One S.
Earlier in the thread someone said they were getting it up to 60fps.

I noticed increased particle effects in Last Light. I hope it is not exclusive to it and Second Son will benefit from it. We can't verify yet since we can't test it on PS4 PRO now.

I wish they would put these in the store and optional. I have no plans on getting a Pro, so I shouldn't have to download this massive update.

sounds like a good implementation. quality HDR is a much bigger improvement than 4k imo.
On pro consoles? On the original hardware it did hit 60, but mostly hovered in the 40s... I haven't played the game, but if I can get a solid 60 at the 1080p mode i'm happy.
On pro. The original hovered around 40-50fps.

Did they ever add paper powes to the game?
OG PS4 supports HDR, so... tough luck I guess.
Oh, I misread your first reply sorry!, I read it as "getting up to 60fps" as if it was hitting it but not sticking. great to hear.

Man, I wish that there were reasonably priced 1080p HDR screens. It seems to me that HDR offers better returns for less power than 4K.
