Awesome, just wanted to play through Everybody's Gone to the Rapture again to get the Platinum trophy but that'll have to wait then.

Someone posted Evil Within comparison video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqu1ObkxBAs

the poster said the load time also seems faster.

Wonder how much of a boost games will get? Obviously Bloodbourne won't magically run at 60 if it's locked at 30 etc

A console implements something PC's have done since before I was born, and people go crazy. But great news. 

True, but this post is only going to cause trouble.

Nine out of ten orphans can't tell the difference.
Ok GAF enough screwing around. Bloodborne, now, stat.

Time for GAF -> Internet -> GAF.
 
I'm really happy that this is real and not a mockup! Given Sony's silence on the feature in the official release notes I wonder if they'll reveal it in a big way when the OS ships.

That Evil Within comparison was really nice - wish I hadn't played the game last winter now.

Anyway, I'm super interested in seeing what the effects are on various games. As someone who had a look at how the N3DS homebrew option (which basically did the same thing but with CPU clocks + cores + enabling L2 Cache) affected non-enhanced games this is going to be fascinating.

That's my expectation. I expect the same can of difference between PS4 pro and PS4 than Xbox One and Xbox One S.
Oh it's gonna be a lot more, and it's already clearly visible already in that Evil Within video.

True, but this post is only going to cause trouble.
It's also totally irrelevant. The fact that PC had that is not going to mean zilch for PS4 exclusive games. This will.

Whattttt?

Games with variable frams and res are gonna see improvements for real.

What major games fall in that category?

Can confirm, Evil Within starting area is running as it should - it was a damn slideshow the last time I tried to play it a month ago.

Well fuck. Does anyone in the NYC want to trade my 2 days old ps4 slim + some cash for a pro? I'm having the worst case of buyers remorse ever.

Someone test Armageddon sequence in Resogun, lol.

I know the game is getting the Pro patch, but it always irked me that the game dropped frames during that end-level scene.

Bloodborne is probably locked at 30fps but if this patch help with the frame pacing and more stable fps I would think buying a Pro.
