What is it?

Future of Play was a nationwide tour of PSVR around the UK in September and October, culminating today and tomorrow with a meeting hosted by Mark Cerny to showcase specific technical improvements to existing and future PS4 games on the PS4 Pro.

Where/when is it?

Haven't been able to find any specific details but the meeting is scheduled to be held at a venue in London, for the press, some time between 9am GMT (5am EST, 2am PT) on the 2nd of November and 5pm GMT ( on the 1pm EST, 10am PT).

If anyone knows of the exact time, do share.

What is being shown?

  • Horizon: Zero Dawn
  • Days Gone
  • Gran Turismo Sport
  • NIOH
  • Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

And allegedly more.

Specific PS4 Pro Enhancements

I want to collate the specific technical improvements that PS4 Pro users will see in each game, both for 1080p and 4K screens. It seems like a media dump by the studios involved has already begun with Guerrilla confirming some more details on what we will get out of Horizon. I'll keep the list updated as things are revealed:

  • 60fps
  • 4x MSAA (formerly 2x)

Oh my.

Extremely excited to see what Nioh and GTS in particular will do with the extra horsepower provided by the Pro.

What are the chances of Cerny going into full geek mode & dropping deep details of the PS4 Pro that we don't fully know about at this event?

I have the Pro pre-ordered on Amazon so I'm there Day 1. With that said - I'm disappointed with Bungie's decision about not patching Destiny for the Pro (at least not in the near future) being a Heavy Destiny player.

I know Cerny said that it would require minimal effort on developers to patch their games. Not sure what it would entail for each game individually.

Last guardian? Gravity rush 2? These two plus gt sport,horizon and ffxv are what will drive me to get a pro earlier than expected. Has to be some good 1080p modes tho

From where did you get such infos? If this is the case, then it is really bad. I thought the graphical enhancements are by default on PS4 PRO regardless of the resolution mode.
Infamous Last Light still shows increased particle count even at the higher res with HDR. That is why I am doubting this.

Love those Horizon 1080p improvements

I read the details in that other thread, but what was not said was if the user gets to have the option of using 1080p and the super sampling or use it in 4k mode. I believe that since Pro on big games wont be able to do Native 4k that if improvements are made to the 1080p version that users should be able to select what mode the game outputs in. Main reason is that with checkerboard rendering it can introduce artifacts, giving the user the option (if they do have 1080p improvements) would be a big win imho.

Yeah, hopefully more details are provided soon on how this works and if users will be able to have options on what mode they want to use.

Guerrilla released the specifics in a PS Blog.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016...11/01/how-ps4-pro-enhances-horizon-zero-dawn/
Click to expand...

Yes. I know about that in that blog post. It is still not clear whether those enhanced graphical features are exclusive to the 1080p mode or common to the PS4 PRO version in any mode. Supersampling in 1080p is the only thing we are sure about at the moment. I thought OP got confirmation from somewhere else to put it in his post (that is why I was asking). Until then, I think he should refrain from putting it in that wy until we get an offcial confirmation and further details.

Cannot fucking wait.



Getting really pumped for my Pro. Also really excited to see what it does for Battlefield 1. Game is already stunning but looking forward to better framerate, resolution, and maybe some enhanced LoD and whatnot.

When is the embargo ending again? I forget. Looking forward to learning more about the potential benefits of upgrading to a Pro. Need to learn more before I make the decision to pick one up as I won't be buying a 4K tv till I can afford an OLED display.

Oh right, sorry I misunderstood. Yeah, that detail would be good to know too. The wording was very vague, so I'm not sure that we have confirmation yet.

NiOh was really blurry (sub 1080p)& jaggy on the 60 fps "action" mode.

Wonder if we're gonna pristine IQ at 1080p & 60 fps on the pro.

Its lovely artstyle will shine! :)

There should be some stuff.

The info about the titles that will be there, came from a german YT channel called inside playstation. Channel is from Sony itself and has a few moderators that have been part on review channels and stuff like that.

Anyway, they stated there will be more games than the few in the list. They also collected questions in the comments and explained a couple of their own questions, that they're going to use at the event.
They had questions regarding both hard and software.

The video is private now. I bet not every info they stated should have been made public :p
