Where's the link saying all games must have it?
The PlayStation access video "everything you need to know about PlayStation Pro" says all 1st party games in 2017 will support it and they are "working with 3rd parties to help them bring their games out on PS4P in future".
That doesn't sound mandatory.

They are referring to the leaked documents that came out months ago and where the source of the previous rumor about specs (the correct ones)
The only way to fact check that at this point is if it gets disproved, which would be by a developer for a game releasing after september outright saying there won't be a Pro mode, or new developer documentation comes out for the Pro having removed the requirement and worded more like a suggestion, or an actual game comes out post September, that doesn't have a Pro mode.
So far, nothing from that document has been inaccurate.

Can i get a link to source for The Last of Us Remastered pro? Cant see where its confirmed. cheers
In time then.
Also, Ratchet and Clank should be added.
“But at the same time I’m going back and changing our last Ratchet & Clank to also supporting HDR and 4K output and, so far, what I’ve found is because it wasn’t authored with 4K in mind the addition of HDR… has a lot more punch than the improved resolution.”

So would this mean that the upcoming Dark Souls 3 DLC would need to have a Pro mode? Or would expansions not be included?

Not sure if said yet but Bloodborne won't get it because of its online components.
I wonder how HD remasters, such as FFXII Zodiac Age will have mandatory PRO. What would be the point in cases like that?

That's not entirely true. It will not differ in fps as the base game. It might become more stable and have a higher resolution/fidelity.

It'd be nice if Sony took the leash off the mod file size cap for the Pro's release-- and for both OG PS4 and Pro obviously in order to keep parity of features-- so Bethesda can finally move ahead with implementing mod support. User created mods could be a sneaky way to show off the Pro's power vs. the OG console.
As someone mentioned on the first page, that is a misleading quote. All PS4 games will work on a PS4 Pro; that doesn't mean that the games will have to take advantage of the PS4 Pro hardware. It will all depend on how "easy" it is to fiddle with I'd imagine.
It's in the OP

If true, I'm cancelling my Xb1 preorder.
What ??
Frame rate has to be the same on PS4 and Pro ?
What is this nonsense ?why bother making pro if you're gonna purposefully hold it back ?

I cant believe nobody has asked sony if there is a mandatory neo mode for future games. It sounds like thats not the case, and if thats true we need to know about it.
For multiplayer games they have to be the same.
Bloodborne has PVP, hence why framerate will be unchanged, but it also has an offline mode so it may get patched.
Super clean downsampled IQ, terrific AA, AF, etc at 1080p , for 4ktvs native rendering possibly, or absolutely no chance of framerate drops (if there were some on the regular ps4 version). There are always improvements that can be done. But yeah, if it 's a well done remaster on the ps4 already, the main benefit would be for 4k tv owners, as it'd undoubtedly still look better running at or close to native 4k, than 1080p being upscaled.

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
For multiplayer, yes. Its kinda unfair going 60fps X 30fps.

It's frustrating, I agree.
I thought that was the clear part; future games will need to compatible with both SKUs. Is it muddy because "pro compatible" doesn't inherently mean more bells and whistles?
Native 4K, PS4 will be 1080p

Just started playing Witcher 3 last week, but I'll now stop and wait to see if they patch in Neo mode. Already preordered the console.
With the CPU, there would be no way to make a game 30fps with drops versus 60fps in the first place, but they are covering their bases there. What will be allowed is both games targeting 30 or 60, but the NEO version being smoother. There is no way to keep both games exactly the same performance wise. If there happend to be another souls game, Pro would have to support it with a better framerate by default

I wonder if the games with variable framerates can have a performance boost without a patch like they do on the Xbox One S.
ArkhamFantasy

Its not clear at all. Their faq makes it sound like its optional. Which would be really disappinting.
Then how do they manage varying FPS on PC Souls games?
I bet its all over the place there,given the variety in hardware and settings among users.

That's going to be amazing.

It absolutely is. I think what Sony is doubling down on is the perception that there's an expectation of a unified experience, and so MP performance on the Pro is shackled to the OG hardware, which is lame, but I understand why they're taking the stance they are.

That's not the same thing. All PS4 games work on the Neo with or without a patch. The question is whether all games going forward will be enhanced to take advantage of the Neo hardware. That needs to be made clear.

Ratchet with HDR...hopefully some other enhancements for 1080p but that's going to look incredible
No

This should be really good. Not really into "can't wait to show you our game on PS4 Pro!" sentiments. Give me a technical breakdown of what you're bringing to the table.
Done! Thanks
