Oi.. that bloodborne "beast" mode on.. it's happening..

 

[Kenzodielocke]

That's weird, I've never seen it do that..ever

I did. There is some heavy slow down in the chalice dungeons. Lightning Paper on The One Reborn is also like 15fps.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

When looking at the floor!

Better than 60 looking at the floor.

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

[RootCause]

I kinda want a pro now.

 

[Draft]

I don't remember the framerate in Bloodborne tanking like that.

Boost is cool.

 

[DieH@rd]

We need a good old DBZ power level comparison of all PS4 consoles.

 

[Ozorov]

So this is pretty definitive, new thread worthy?

yah

Thats a yuge difference.

 

[Muzicfreq]

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

The Witcher 3 PS4 Pro Boost Mode
Swamp
The Witcher 3 PS4 Pro Boost Mode 2
Novigrad (actually, might be Oxenfurt? I play this game and I can't tell lol)

Not my footage

Quoting for visibility

 

[Elios83]

Just tried Assassin's Creed Unity in the most taxing zone of Notre Dame and the difference in controllability due to higher frame is absolutely evident.

 

[Ferr986]

Any chance you could possibly test out co-op or PVP? I always saw more noticeable dips when other players were involved

Yess I'm gonna try coop but it's going to be harder to do a comparison because, well, cant replay the exact coop session lol I guess I'll try a boss that makes the framerate drops, any ideas?

 

[zedge]

Would love to see some 64 player conquest in BF4 and even Hardline.

 

[joecanada]

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".

Spoiler

I'm buying a Pro.

LOL . you should work with TimDog I hear he's a reasonable fellow.

 

[Curufinwe]

Dang, missing out on these tests! I really need to get beta access somehow...

Sony should be hooking you up first of all people.

Frame pacing or not, that's a very noticeable difference.

 

[Mr_Kuschels]

Come on man. You're missing out on perhaps the GOTG because of frame pacing? Feel bad for you.

Yea, I'm glad that I can't tell. I'd miss out on the GOTG if I did.

I don't think so. This is a EXTREME case, the biggest problem in reuglar play is famepacing, and that isn't fixed.

Check out my first video of Old Yharnan, barely a difference.

It only happens in Chalice witches, not in the regular boss. Also the room they are placed may be a factor too.

Every little improvement in BB is huge thought. The performance was the only thing that was not great about BB.

Oh jeeze, this is getting better and better!

Digital Foundry will be testing the entire PS4 catalog huh? lol

How could Sony not put this thing in a huge headline? the videos here are incredible!

I kind of want to get a PS4 pro now

I can see it.

 

[Inuhanyou]

anyone test fallout 4 yet? I heard that game got pretty bad at points on PS4

 

[Trace]

Dang, missing out on these tests! I really need to get beta access somehow...

If someone gives this man a code I will be eternally grateful.

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

This is a pretty big deal to me because I didn't get a pro due to them not utilizing it. Now this is a step in the right direction.

 

[Marmelade]

It's like the Pro re-released..

 

[joecanada]

can you see what thread he clicks on ? I can't make it out...

Man, so many games I avoided and now have become interesting again.

This, Just Cause 3, evil within....crazy.

Need video. Stat!

 

[thatJohann]

All this beast mode talk keeps reminding me of Bloody Roar.

P.S. we should make it official - Amateur mode vs Beast mode

 

[godofcookery]

is this a Japan only firmware update for now?

 

[nemisis0]

Rocket league tested on neo tokyo and was smooth as butter.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

anyone test fallout 4 yet? I heard that game got pretty bad at points on PS4

Yeah, that too. Just Cause 3 also needs to be properly tested against explosions. That game is the worst, though that one video posted before showed confidence.

haha indeed

 

[Guymelef]

Anu more videos I should add to the op?

 

[dark10x]

I am in full agreement.

My frame-rate analysis tools are sitting idle, sobbing in the corner.

Upload a video

 

[Frostburn]

I play Destiny daily and unless you have a lot of engrams on floor you wont't see drops below 30fps... it is pretty solid.

I don't believe Beast Mode will do anything with locked solid 30fps games.

3rd "Boss" in the Wrath of the Machine raid would be a great test (Single digit framerates at certain points)

 

[Ghazi]

Overwatch has a pro patch

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

Overwatch already has a Pro patch.

I'm pretty sure all the pro patch did was add better texture filtering and higher resolution UI. Not really a big pro patch.

 

[icespide]

yes but it enables the hardware to run at full clock speed. which is all the boost mode does

lol beast witches vs amateur witches

Any kind soul with a code to spare?

 

[AngelOFDeath]

What would you guys think would be top 5 to be tested?
