Support NeoGAF

[Black Hat]

My Pro just arrived 5 minutes ago. So it was cool to come on Gaf and see this thread

Boostioooooo!

I know this is a super longshot, but any musou fans able to test DW8XL? That game had an abysmal frame rate on ps4 and I believe it's unlocked.

No, but I am about to try SW4.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Lol

 

[ShadowKingpin]

Oh my god.

 

[funkystudent]

Sorry if posted.

Until Dawn PS4 Pro Boost Mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzA8Y8HvhxA

Kinda usless since Until Dawn runs with a uncapped FPS and the video is at 30.

Framerate could still be unstable. But now its between 40-60 instead of 20-40 of the base game.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Has anyone tried Firewatch yet?

I recall that one performing pretty poorly, and remained unmatched.

nvm

 

[ZeoVGM]

Final Fantasy XIV

Guess which is Boost mode.

Boing to check again when people start logging on tonight. This is Excalibur.

Guys.

This is legit.

This is why I bought a Pro.

Already Pro patched.
Edit : maybe add " for unpatched games" to the the thread title or something. Half the thread is asking about pro patched games.

 

[AllGamer]

Did anyone test Saints Row 4?

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Already Pro patched.

Oh really? Whoops!

 

[adamsapple]

Yes ! This is THE BEST.

Spoiler

BUT WHERE ARE THE KAZ GIFS GAF !

 

[cftrooper]

I know there's Pro support coming next week but someone should test out Fallout 4 just for shits

 

[El_Chino]

Epic.

I don't think there's a video of it yet but someone mentioned in writing earlier that "Diamond City" runs great now. I haven't played the game yet personally, so not familiar with how the location was before.

edit: found this via google:

[Bowler]

Any word on dark souls 3?

 

[alexbull_uk]

Tried Resident Evil Revelations 2 but it crashed as soon as the game started up. Not had a chance to try again yet, but could be Boost Mode?

I wonder if we'll get an option to enable/disable it for certain games at some point, instead of it being a global on/off.

Witcher 3 posts... waiting

 

[beau_beaumont]

Wow, this sort of came out of left field. This makes a pro seem a lot more tempting. Can't believe the bloodborne video. Beast mode indeed.

 

[copelandmaster]

People, change your recording settings to 60fps, please.

FFXV Platinum Demo runs very well now, for what it's worth

I have an even weirder request - FFXV Duscae 1.0/2.0, for anyone who bothered to migrate it to their Pro. I my curiosity is piqued.

...Pretty much 'really fucking bad' vs 'really bad', honestly. From needs to get their shit together on consoles.

Isn't W3 capped at 30?

 

[leng jai]

Isn't W3 capped at 30?

Yeah but it runs at 20-25fps in the swamps.

 

[LOLCats]

 

[Wagram]

This is a pretty big deal. Pro was already worth it, but damn this makes it even more so.

 

[Humdinger]

Sony goes unabated by releasing this all-encompassing mode aptly named "Beast mode".

It's actually named "boost" mode. People calling it "beast mode" are either making a joke or a mistake.

 

[SlickVic]

PS4 Amateur and PS4 Pro. I guess we might as well stick to that naming convention now.

 

[Bog]

Can't we just delete the update data for FFXV and go offline?

 

[thatJohann]

Wow played some more of Yakuza 0 with boost mode vs no boost mode on ps4 pro and the difference is immediate even in controls. Super impressed with boost mode!

Downgraded back to 4.07 so I can use remote play this weekend but can't wait for remote play to be supported so I can jump back on beast mode!

It has already been tested in the swaps/bog and has already yielded better performance, very little/no drops.

pro mode shipped with the game, no?

plus, you always have light mode

 

[Wishmaster92]

- pt demo: boost mode does feel a little smoother switching back and forth.
- Limbo: boost mode feels a little smoother to my eyes
- Daylight: boost mode definitely improves the framerate over the original mode (this game's framerate was a mess)
- final fantasy episode duscae: boost mode seems less jittery than the original.

Gonna see about killzone in a little bit.

Bravo

Someone posted a Novigrad video, too, which looked good (but I can't compare as I've yet to play the game).

 

[blastprocessor]

Anyone tried Infamous 2nd Son?

 

[Tripolygon]

Quote if you have PS4 Pro and don't have a code

I have a pro but no code.

 

[icespide]

Anyone tried Infamous 2nd Son?

has a pro patch

 

[TAJ]

Anyone tried Infamous 2nd Son?

It has real Pro modes.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Anyone tried skyrim?

 

[psychotron]

Anyone tried skyrim?

Has a pro patch already.

 

[TAJ]

Anyone tried skyrim?

Okay, I get the joke now.

 

[The Dear Leader]

PS4 Pro is a Boost!

Here's a quick Arkham Knight Batmobile comparison.

Battlefield 4

 

[Maintenance]

In the case of Fallout 4, I believe the Pro enhanced version will be the best between the two because the game is capped at 30fps.

I don't think so, unfortunately. If the Pro enhanced edition is similar to the original one in performance (after all the graphical updates won't be free), I'd rather have the Boost one.

 

[Pathfinder]

Maybe it should be added to the OP that games with Pro patches will not benefit from this.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Man if only Sony would release a nice LE PS4 Pro console so I could upgrade.

Maybe it should be added to the OP that games with Pro patches will not benefit from this.

If a game has the Pro patch doesn't it already have a boost? That's kinda redundant no?

 

[Metfanant]

How do you know that? Back in November when PRO launched GAF claimed that allowing all games to run in PRO speed would be a disaster and would break nearly all games. Fast forward few months and we have early beta firmware with boost mode and nearly all games run without problems. I would at least wait for this firmware to leave beta before saying game needs patching.

Who said that? I don't think I remember anyone saying that

Maybe it should be added to the OP that games with Pro patches will not benefit from this.

It really shouldn't be necessary

 

[Transistor]

Who said that? I don't think I remember anyone saying that

That poster is exaggerating. Many people said that there might be issues if every game was allowed to run in Pro mode, which does make sense from a technology standpoint. However, it seems Sony did enough testing behind the scenes to realize hey it doesn't really break much

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Can you run games directly from the external HDD?

Anyone?

 

[Equanimity]

Here's a quick Arkham Knight Batmobile comparison.

Thank you! I don't see any screen-tearing, at least not on my phone.

Battlefield 4

Nice! I might pick it up again.
