Life of Black Tiger please?
-
Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
PS4 firmware 4.50 add Boost Mode for PS4 Pro.
- Thread starter Guymelef
- Start date
Which one?
Please stop.
If the PS4 had shipped with "boost mode" on by default this forum would have been justifiably filled with threads like "SOMA crashes on PS4 Pro" and you would have been in every single one with contributions like "Laugh out loud Sony".
Sony made a conservative choice, and it was the correct one.

Need Witcher 3 Novigrad.
There's videos of the swamp, however, Novigrad definitely suffered more in certain areas of the city, and you spent a much longer time in Novigrad compared to the swamp anyway.

Now the biggest question does this improve the framerate of 2017's GOTY Life of Black Tiger?
FFXV Platinum Demo runs very well now, for what it's worth
lmao
Had a go at Driveclub:

I just came home from the bar and pretty loaded so excuuuuuse the driving!
No idea if it's any better (reasons: see above.) but at least the quality should be alright.

so far someone has posted that Soma crashes and/or has erratic performance in boost mode
wow, Im actually more impressed with this than with the framerate boosts.. good stuff. Time for a newgame+!
It was patched
Thanks.

So let me get this straight:
- Sony says it would break compatibility near launch
- Several months later FW comes out enabling the functionality but still breaking at least one game we know of so far
Thus... Sony was lying?
Hmmm... not really seeing how that adds up.

Clearly you've got a very high-level understanding of things, so I'd really appreciate it you broke the following down for us laymen: http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-...&S1=20160246323&OS=20160246323&RS=20160246323

The minor framerate drops in Alien Isolation are now totally gone too.
Tested other rarer titles that run at "close to 60" and can now confirm they are totally locked like Contrast, Costume Quest 2, Dead Nation, Legend Of Kay Remaster, Pure Pool (gone is the stuttering when zooming in and out and round the table), Resident Evil Revelations 2 (now a full 60 in previous trouble spots like in the forest area). Table Top racing is now 60 locked too as this used to dip in certain places.
Dishonored Remaster now locked to 30FPS also in the sewers where it used to drop before.

Or y'know, they worked and improved on it to iron out issues...?
I guess they assumed the worse? Why not give everyone a free boost? Why lie?
I honestly think they just didn't want to assume most games would be fine...but this is awesome anyway

The intro video, the one that's green, actually shit itself with the audio and visuals slowing down maybe 10%. Very weird!
More like they did internal testing and found out it works in the vast majority of cases so decided to launch a beta to get a larger sample.

Dumb question: I put in my code and it said redeemed. Now what? I rebooted but not sure what to do next.
Yea..something tells me they were probably already planning on this, but clearly it wouldn't be ready for launch. Now it probably works with a majority of games but you'll get that odd case or two where it doesn't thus the disclaimer.
That said once this is truly up to snuff and the FW gets released I wonder if we'll see Sony put a new marketing focus on the Pro.

Sony is waiting for GAF to test all of their games.

Any word on Assassin's Creed 4, No Man's Sky, Godzilla, or Far Cry Primal?

That's what I think as well, probably something in the works but issues near launch. That's why etta's post is a bit silly.
A game is broken as of right now that a small pool of beta testers have found out. Clearly, the compatibility issue holds up to even some basic scrutiny here.

AC4 and FCP there wont be any difference as both games are already locked 30 so they are as fast as they are ever going to be already.

Has FFXV been tested? This thread is moving too fast for me to keep up.

Check for Firmware Update in Settings.
Lol, thanks, mate. I'm so damn excited to try out Bloodborne I just walked home from work early and in a snow storm and turned everything on. Spending all day in this thread has me overwhelmed.
Lawd, you probably have half of ProGAF yelling at their monitors lol
Games with Pro patches are not affected.

This isn't my video but it could be an interesting one as it is actually getting a Pro patch next week.
Interesting as they're increasing the resolution, draw distance and effects quality which could mean that the unpatched Boost Mode version is going to be the best performing version you'll be able on play on PS4 as the Pro patch enhancements mean it probably won;t run as smoothly.

I think Sony hoped that more developers did things right and patched games themselves, that is the right way to use PS4 Pro's capabilities.
Many didn't so they patched games "at system level".

I'm assuming someone will be making a thread for Boost compatible Pro games when this patch is released?

It should still smooth out any minor dips, yes? No game was a perfect 100% stable.

I thought the pro patch wasn't out yet? Or am I forgetting something.

I came here for this. Anyone here has Lichdom Battlemage? This is the one game that SHOULD see a significant improvement if it doesn't break.

That's it, game over. You win the thread.
