Visual updates sound good. Hopefully it also stabilizes the framerate after 1.02 messed it up.

I've had Prey from Gamefly for weeks but due to other games and a ton of commitments, I haven't been able to play it. Glad I waited!

GOTY getting GOTIER.
I can do some after work if no one gets any in before that. Still here for a few hours.

Sounds like a pretty good update, the kind of update that makes it sound like it's going from medium to higher settings when you essentially have like half a GPU of rendering power left over.
The Pro's GPU makes for an an excellent 1080p level card to go with higher settings really if you don't try to focus it just on higher resolutions.

I hope all of those people in the other thread who were sitting out b/c of this will be happy now.

Why does it need a PS4 Pro for 16x anisotropy? That's a weird one.

Any chance of an FoV slider?
Won't be surprised if they'll still boycott the game for whatever reason

Might be one of those too little too late situations.
Arkane absolutely got hammered for it not being there Day one.

4x AF has been pretty common this gen.

So good to see some decent pro support. Outside of the Pro launch games very few have really taken advantage of it other than a resolution boost.... which isn't that exciting.
This is very good news. Prey was (AFAIK) the first major AAA game released after the Pro's launch to not offer any kind of support for it, and that was a bit concerning. I'm hoping that, at the very least, every major AAA game released from here on out will offer support and enhancements for both PRO and Scorpio. Still disconcerting that it's not mandatory for Devs to do so, nonetheless.
Also, this.

Man, I really hope all future games have the pro support straight on the disc. At least when the box art mentions it. It shouldn't be a pro "patch". Pro support should be supported right from the beginning, included in the full game.

Sounds very good, seems like everything is Ultra on the PRO. The way it should be frankly...
Ehh, nothing on resolution though, perhaps 1440p????
Though I wished devs would use more checkerboarding....1800p.

Can we please just focus on visuals and frame rates not resolutions.

But that's arguably the point of the Pro. I have a 4K TV and a res bump is infinitely more noticeable than visual fidelity. I'm super happy with this update though and my preference is simply that, a preference!
Fuck that give me 4K.
The release version was improved from the demo and they've addressed it further in every subsequent patch, unfortunately those messed up the framerate in exchange. Hoping this patch gets it right.

This is what I call real PS4 PRO support. What about the resolution? And the demo? Did they add those features for the demo too? I know many who wnat to try the Demo and expect some PS4 PRO improvements.
I thought the game already ran at 1440p on PS4 PRO. Anyway even with those improvements, I still think the game could run at 1440p.

That's what I'm saying. Lets get a stable 60 frames on 1080p before raising resolutions. These mid gen consoles are not really 4K capable machines.. so why force it
I don't think they plan on updating the demo since it's old code.
The game shipped without any PS4 Pro enhancements.

Resolution is visuals. No conflict detected.
The game launched with zero Pro enhancements.

What are you talking about? Resolution is a top priority for visuals, so why would one be concerned about visuals and not resolution?
In any case, the PRO version will still be 30fps, so don't expect an update to 60fps here. A resolution boost with these visual boosts is pretty much what's expected here. As it stands, the game is already running pretty solid (framerate-wise) on the OG PS4.
You're not going to get 60 FPS in a lot of console games. Doesn't matter what the resolution is.
I believe PRO can do 1080p 60 frames with high graphics.. withstanding developers
They're far more capable of 4K than 60fps. That's for sure.
Good luck on the Jaguar CPUs.
Resolution vs graphics quality, what is more important?
CPU is the main bottleneck for framerate on the Pro. It's only a 31% increase in CPU power compared to base model while it has a 230% increase in GPU.

I would (kind of blindly) assume that because the PS4 shares memory between the CPU and GPU that AF is more costly than it would be if you had a dedicated GPU with it's own memory bus. Also, I think parallax mapping affects AF cost (maybe not in Prey, though, not a lot of those from what I've seen).
