PS4 PRO 4K native games (will update the list everytime there is a new game)

It's nice to know there's something we agree on. Games that have a very simple rendering strategy that doesn't tax the hardware may opt for 4K just because it's an easy talking point, but given infinite time and budget I think the sweet spot is going to use checkerboard rendering with more sophisticated materials shading and effects. You almost certainly gain more than you lose in terms of visual appeal this way.

Well I ended up right in most of the cases that you disagreed with me so I don't know if this is a good thing lol . (Joking)


Hopefully devs don't get punked by the hive minds yelling for "True 4K" & only go for native 4K when it's the best choice.

Where is this original quote from? because this sound like it might be native 4K for Rise Of The Tomb Raider


“Players that have the PS4 Pro version will have sliders to be able to control how they run the game. [They can run it at] 30 frames per second at 4K or they can choose to run the game at 60 frames per second. It’s really about giving the player options…If they don’t have a new 4KTV but just bought a PS4 Pro, they can run the game at a silky smooth, 60 frames per second,” Johnston said.

Digital Foundry made a video comparison between ROTTR in native 4K and the PS4 PRO version using checkerboard and highlighted how checkerboard creates artefacts in particle effects and other stuff. Also there have been many comparisons showing how PS4 PRO checkerboard 4K is blurrier than native 4K in ROTTR. I find it strange that some still think that ROTTR on PS4 PRO is native 4K.
 
I am adding Hustle Kings to the OP. I don't know the FPS but I presume it's 60 FPS just like on PS4.
I would really appreciate if someone posts a screen grab of the patch notes
so noo one will doubt that later. Thanks.

Kidding around and being clueless about where you've been demonstrably incorrect all along combined with shameless self-promotion and fact distortion? Yes, it's good to know my earlier impressions were well founded.

Per the context of this thread, I said all along that remasters and graphically simple titles like indie work were the obvious 4K candidates, and that I expected no more than 10% of modern AAA games to be native 4K. I don't see any proof to the contrary.

I thought just smaller games would be native? Isn't Horizon and Days Gone 4K with checkerboard? Are sports games not as demanding?

Also what are you guys talking about with 4K checkerboard looking better than native? Your talking about on Pro only right? Because PC TR still looked better than Pro TR. And I'm sure Scorpio will be able to run native without a lot of effects turned down as well.

Of course we are talking about PS4 Pro but if a PC game has the option to use checkerboard rendering with higher settings than you can achieve with the native 4K than it will also look better.

Certainly less demanding than AAA open world action games.

Personally not the biggest fan of NBA 2K these days but hopefully this points to Native 4K for MLB next year.

It's a balance, you're talking about high settings with HDR at 30fps as opposed to maybe native 4k medium settings with HDR.

We'll have to see it obviously, but since there are little to few artifacts using checkerboarding vs traditional upscaling. It makes sense that ROTR can look a bit more detailed with checkerboarding with high presets.

ROTR is not released yet, but I believe the .Pro can easily do ultra settings with checkerboarding at 30fps locked as opposed to just high settings listed in the OP.

I'll say this now: If Jonathan Blow isn't going out of his way to be stubborn he will add a native 4K 30fps mode to The Witness PS4 Pro along with a 1080P 30fps mode for the PS4.


But the fact that he said he was going to do exactly what the documents asked devs not to do says a lot. But hopefully he was just talking to throw people off like he did when he claimed that the game wasn't coming to Xbox One.


I'm thinking 1800p 60fps & 4K 30fps

Guys, will PS4 PRO's super sampling provide a decent upgrade in IQ over PS4?

I am talking about 1080p vs supersampling 1080p. Is it worth it, will the image be considerably sharper/cleaner than normal PS4 or will the difference be negligible?

Would love a straightforward answer, no need to sugar coat it for me! :)

I wonder if The Nathan Drake Collection could run at native 4K.. hell, any form of Pro update would be appreciated, surprised it's not happening.

If The Last Of Us can run at native 4K then surely those games can as well. Maybe they aren't interested in pushing most PS3 games like that though.
 
Thumper will run in native 4K.

I know it's been stated before (and has its own thread) but I still didn't see it in the first post.

If you were waiting for the dev to clarify, they replied to my PS Blog comment here.

Thank you for adding this game in bold and underlined. Easier to spot.

Don't know how to link but Gamespot says NBA 2k17 will be native 4K.


Thanks for the link and info. It is nice to see GameSpot starting to make their own list after I made this one. :D

NBA 2K17

PS4 Pro with a 4K display:

Native 4K resolution running at 60 FPS with HDR support.

Wow. This is just insane. And many didn't expect to get new AAA games in native 4K, but here we have one in Native 4K resolution running at 60 FPS with HDR support.

I told people before if a game is 1080p on Xbox One with a 1.32TF GPU from 2012/2013 it can run in 4K on PS4 Pro with a 4.2TF GPU from 2016


If a game can run in 1080P on a Xbox One with a 1.32TF GPU from ~ 2013 why wouldn't it be able to run 4K on a Neo with a 4.2TF GPU from ~2016?

it's over 3X raw power plus efficiency gained from the newer tech.

I still say that games like NBA 2K can run at 4K native because they don't really push the PS4.

I'm not crazy I know if you're using newer hardware you can do things more efficiently & a game like NBA 2K can be made to run at 4K on PS4 Pro while looking just as good if not better than it does on Xbox One.





People tried to make me into a joke character for being smart enough to know that PS4 Pro could render 4K games but now they are lost & confused when these 4K games keep popping up

Nobody should even engage this fool in conversation...it's not worth your time, or bandwidth


Well this fool was right & PlayStation 4 Pro has 4K games so accept it you was wrong.




Well I ignored his insults & he is continuing to post gifs & so on so it seem he is hurt about something.


I said that I think games that ran 1080P 60 FPS on Xbox One like NBA 2K should be able to run at 4K on PS4 Pro & I still believe this.

It wouldn't be the best thing to do but if that was what they was going for it's possible.


I ignored the insults because I knew people would have to eat their words


I highly doubt that an upgraded PS4 will render games in 4K (not counting indies). Especially if Sony is going to sell it without a taking a loss on each unit. Reading your posts in this thread I can't shake the feeling that you're massively underestimating the power required to render games in 4K at playable framerates.

Oh boy, onQ123 and mister media X in one thread.

I'm still waiting to see your reaction when Neo games are 4K


I'll happily eat crow when I see a game on the Neo with PS4 level graphics running native 3840*2160.


Would you like secret sauce with that?
 
Then I can safely re-say what I posted in a previous post:

When the PS5 releases (if it gets released late), will we live the same scenario of these days where:
- 4K native will be the standard for PS5 games but some demanding games won't be native 4K exactly how the PS4 is doing these days with 1080p as standard while some demanding games are 900p.

- We will get a PS5 PRO that allows higher res than native 4K, or let'ts call it 8K with checkerboard and some remastered PS4 games and some indies will be 8K native (seeing that 8K TVS are already being prepared) similar to PS4 PRO current situation.

What do you think? You will say this is impossible but who ever imagined that one day a console could reach 4K (whether natively or upscaled) at the time of the PS4, let alone at the time of PS3. Keep in mind hardware components evolve exponentially following Moore's law.

Cool cool...then is what MS saying just buffing up there more powerful system then? They said PS4Pro is about what they would have done this year, but wanted better tech to hit native 4K. But if checkerboard is so comparable and some games are still hitting native, I don't get why they both didn't come at the same time?

I would rather not imagine another PS4 S PRO (more powerful + UHD Bluray player) to compete with Xbox Scorpio.next year.

Well if you get attacked for being right while people call you a fool & make jokes you will rub it in when you're proven right to.


They had their day now I'm having mine's no one said anything when people was calling me a fool & making fake tweets using my name.

It's not needed both will be doing Xbox One/PS4 level games in UHD there isn't going to be so much of a difference that one company will feel that they have to release a new console to compete. it's close enough that price , marketing & dev support will make up for the power difference.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Wow NBA 2K17 in 4K and 60 fps with HDR? That's pretty damned impressive. I take back my statement about modern day releases not pushing native 4K. I'm not even a big NBA 2K fan after the last few installments but this bodes well for something like MLB the Show for next year.

Edit: I'm quite willing to eat a whole murder of crows on this as well. I'm actually pretty excited if even a handful of current gen AAA games attempt to push native 4K. I don't expect Horizon Zero Dawn to be in native 4K but like, could the REmake 2 push that kind of visual fidelity? I guess if they actually did go with pre rendered backgrounds and focus on the lighting and character models and other effects.

Yea I'm inclined to believe Sony may have been right on the money here, the only questionable decision so far with Pro is not upping the Ram so devs have an easier time getting in those high res assets. I'm not technically knowledgeable though to know if it's an issue or not.

In laymen's terms, if MS doesn't produce games that are head and shoulders above what Sony devs do, (Horizon, GOW, Days Gone, GTS, TLOU2) I think releasing first will end up being the smarter move than releasing more powerful. Only time will tell, but it's hard to imagine something looking so much better than Horizon on a 4K set.

Depends on game how big the visual impact is.
If game is native 4k with post AA, it should downsample nicely to 1080p.

There are plenty of ssaa, dsr downsampling threads if you want examples.

I need some of the checkerboard rendering magic, because I can't even hit a stable 60 in NBA2K17 with a 980ti at 3440x1440.

Crazy.

NBA 2K17 is going to be native 4K (2160p) at 60fps on PS4 Pro, whaaaa?

Edit: with HDR to boot.

I don't even buy sports video games but I would make an exception for that, just to experience it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

You know the talk here is not about checkerboard. NBA 2K17 will be native 4K @60 FPS + HDR and not using checkerboard which is really a HUGE achievement.
