That is what I use my PS4 for, so I would agree.I think a normal PS4 would be perfectly fine for someone that uses it only for exclusives and a gaming PC for everything else.

I mean there are differences, but the framerate isn't that much better in some games. And just remember, a lot of the games are not natively 4k. Most of them are upscaled. Maybe I was too wishful in wanting all the games 1080p 60fps or 4k native with at least 30fps. Hopefully the Scorpio will be powerful enough to either play 4k 30fps natively or 1080p at 60fps. Some of the games do benefit from the Pro, but others don't, like Last of Us remastered. Also iirc Battlefield 1 performs pretty badly on the regular PS4, with constant dropped framesTheres also a question what exactly people were/are expecting from the PS4 Pro in terms of graphics upgrade. The main draw, at least regarding PR, is the 4K part. There are many people who arent very senstive to IQ and framerate, and they wont notice an immediate difference. I'm one of them. I went from Battlefield 1 from regular PS4 to PS4 Pro and couldnt really tell any difference. I know that there are differences, but from my memory, the game feels about the same on both consoles. Maybe i notice a bigger difference if i go back to the regular PS4.
Yeah, I think they made a bad choice here on the game. Uncharted 4 is one of those games that has great image quality on both platforms. The difference is subtle enough due to the strong TAA that your average person won't likely see a difference.This was way better done that I thought.
You guys are bugging. Have people watched the video?
They should've used more games, though.
Well there's your problem!
A single dark cut-scene on Uncharted 4 isn't the best showcase and still 4/5 correctly spotted which was the Pro. R&C is gorgeous on a 4K HDR TV, the image quality is ridiculous but it's something you have to see in person, without Youtube's compression. For PS4 Pro games that boost the frame rate or have a more consistent one however, the difference is really obvious even on Youtube.
That's the issue, they only used one game. Rise of the Tomb Raider, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, etc., would had been better examples.This was way better done that I thought.

The average who? Out of those 5 people interviewed, maybe one is a gamer. The darker colored interviewee is absolutely blind....blind I tell ya....People commenting without having seen and without any willingness to see the video. Ok.
In my opinion, most of the complaints in the video are legit. The upgrade is not worthy for the average gamer.

When I went to best buy one day, a worker was explaining HDR to someone and they looked so confused.
This was a very poorly done test. The interviewer knew which screen had the base PS4 and Pro behind them. Based on their prior video, they had shown a bias as to the outcome. This is a big no-no and a reason why double blind tests are the gold standard for doing these types of comparisons.
Then they committed another problem by having the viewers rate the consoles based on their appearance before doing the test. The Pro is not supposed to look better than the base PS4 just different, so that's what most people said. However forcing the viewer to state ahead of time that the consoles were the same, even though they were not judging image quality, makes them more likely to want to back up that initial assessment when they do judge image quality.
Finally 80% of the people did say they still could tell the difference. However while 90% said they didn't care, the test had the previous problems to bias this result. It also didn't appear that many of these people were that concerned about image quality in the first place. Remember once again that 80% did see a difference, they just did not care.
This is worthwhile test to do, but unless they are going to do it properly it is less than useless because it promotes unsubstantiated conclusions. Get back to me when they have a test that...
Which is best?
- Is double blind
- Judges only the image quality and doesn't show the consoles at all
- Uses people the Pro is actually targeting. Asking some of these people would be like asking me which abstract art painting was the best. (Hint: I could not care less and would just choose the cheapest option)
Well for real gamers that own the pro they know the difference.
Try Battlefield 1 on both and things become pretty clear witch one is the PSPro!
Spent my money on a 1070. I could see the differences in the video, but the 1070 owns the Pro IMO.

How is this a good video in any sense of the word? It's blatantly misleading.Good video IMO. Its not a digital foundry style analysis but that was the entire point. It was just to see what the average person on the street thinks. I can appreciate that.
Well it's a vexing proposition because the PS4 Pro does a lot of really incredible things to make Playstation games look rather clean. Unfortunately, the level of misinformation, miscommunication, and misunderstanding of the benefits- value - and purpose are completely lost becuase Sony themselves didn't bother.So, the entire purpose to get normal people is to prove a point that has been obvious to me since the announcement of PS4 Pro. The general public does not care.
That doesn't make the video horrible, but the system is called PS4 Pro for a reason.
