It seems to perform better than on the regular PS4 though...
Not really. Better, but not good.

It's a bug.

If you have a 4K TV, the Pro version is nearly flawless re: IQ and framerate.

Game was sluggish and unresponsive for me on my Pro, even in its current state, PC is the way to go.
Is there a way to activate supersampling? First post says to select 4k then switch to 1080p but how this is possible in a 1080p Tv ?

Its not.
This entire PS4 Pro launch is a joke.
Half of these games are busted on the pro.

It's not possible on a 1080p TV. Arkane has to fix it with a patch.

Actually, only the two Elder Scrolls games are still flawed apart from this weird bug.
Please inform yourself.

Well you could cap the frames to 30fps on PC and enjoy the best image quality and settings. Should be able to hit 60 but this isn't the first console game to bounce around and have trouble updating at 60.
There are like 30+ games and only like 5-6 are worse.

What on earth are you talking about?
Just 2 with slightly worse framerate. Not 5-6.
Not true at all. No game I have is busted on Pro. Period. Dishonored 2 runs fine. I have 10+ Pro games BTW.
Correction I counted the ones that have been fixed.

Glad to see it's looking good. Unfortunately my Pro is out of service but I can't wait to play this game 😞

My bad.
That's pretty bad. Developer fuck ups aside, Ps4 Pro needs two OS improvements patched in to protect against developers messing up. When people say what can Sony do? This is exactly what they can do to fix the Pro and stop these news stories and backlash.
1) OS option to run games in compatibility mode which will tell the games they are being played on a non-Pro PS4 and will just play the ps4 version. This is a safety mode in case the Pro version is broken aka World of FF.
2) OS option to output 4K regardless of what your TV is. Right now 1080p TVs can only pick 1080p, so in situations like Dishonored 2, they can't access the 1440p mode. If they could set the output to 4k, they'd get the 1440p mode and their TV would downscale. This would be a safety mode in case developers forget to downsample for 1080p TVs.

This is false. Where are you getting your info from. Most games that people complained about having issues have been easily fixed with a patch.
You can maintain 30fps without issue on quite a lot of cards, but not many people want to do that if they have invested in mid / high end cards that should easily be maintaining 60fps at a range of fidelities. If that is how you justify "the best place to play" though, each to their own
Yeah, loved the original and have this at the top of the wishlist, but not anymore. Much like Batman, I'll only pick it up when they have fixed it, and by that point I will likely be playing other things that will lead to Dishonoured 2 only getting bought in a sale much further than that

I like it more than the first game so far, so the technical issues makes it more frustrating IMO

A) This game runs better and looks better on Pro compared to PS4. It also has issues on PC, so unless you have a great rig PS4 Pro is the best way to play the game
B) Lot's of games have noticeable improvements on Pro
C) There are about 3 games that currently qualify as "busted" on Pro
The "joke" is people trying to push some narrative that PS4 Pro doesn't offer improvements to most supported games.
Don't know if you have played it but imo it looks and plays great on the pro.

It uses DX11 currently and might be getting a DX12 patch, at least the data-files indicates that Arkane already put effort in this direction.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Gonna back that up with some actual examples or just drive by ?

It's interesting that poor PC performance usually gets blamed on software but games on the Pro with poor performance are blamed on the hardware.
Who is blaming it on the software? People commenting on problems/concerns of the ps4 pro version of games doesnt mean they put the blame on the pro.
Also comparison with pc is always flawed because pc is a extremely wide range of hardware while pro is equally good or bad for everyone.

It became kind of pointless since the 750ti wasnt at all matching up to ps4 anymore
<30 fps is not playing great

Things have changed in the last year or two.
For example, my PC with a 670 ran Dishonored 1 at max settings 1080P 60fps at all times. The PS4 port ran at 30fps with dodgy AF.
Dishonored 2 would run like a bag of dicks on that computer, if at all. It certainly wouldn't match up to the performance you can get from the PS4 Pro.

So the issue with this are for those with 1080p only tv's and a PS4 Pro. In that they are only getting 1080p with no super sampling.
But for 4k tv owners it's an all around improvement on the base ps4? Improved IQ due to higher resolution and more stable framerate?
I don't think this would be a hard thing for them to fix. Just have the game run in 4k mode no matter what. Seems pretty simple to me.

A budget pc with similar hardware as PS4Pro, not a 750ti, like for example i3 with an rx470.
Sorry i did not make it sufficiently clear.

Ah yeah I know what you're saying!

I haven't seen any benchs with that specific hardware but judging by this video, it seems like it's possible to run this game at 1440p probably at very high settings at 30fps.

Anyway, after watching the DF video, i think this game needed 4-6 more months of development/testing process.
