I'll be deep into Heavensward then dammit. Oh well. My only hope is I somehow get a random email or gaffer miracle haha
Yes, it should technically spend less time dropping frames where the resolutions drops would occur.
SOMA locks up in pro mode.
Its definitely a percentage of games although obviously not the majority.
Its just Direct X. MS dont actually get as close to the hardware metal as Sony does, so they can just kinda smooth over any direct compatability issues. This goes for 360 titles as well as XB1S and even likely Scorpio

Should improve the minimum res hold in dynamic res games, yes. DOOM is dynamic resolution right?
Curious to see DF's test on that. Having tried DOOM out a bit, it holds 60 FPS way better now, especially at the later stages. But I'm not sure about how well it holds the resolution target.
thank you

This almost makes me want to get a PS4 Pro.

That's what I thought too, but there is something going on with limbo. I switched back and forth like 20 times
My thoughts as well but I want to see DF analyze it first.

I don't know the game but someone mentioned it being better.
Maybe something about no frame drops with mirrors.
Playing Yakuza 0 earlier in the week I noticed some tearing, but tonight, all smooth sailing. This is a pretty great update.
I have to imagine the people at Digital Foundry were probably getting ready for the weekend then this shit hit and then had to have just let out a big "oh no..."

I hope Sony doesn't take a month in releasing this update.

Wasn't it locked at 30? If that's true were their drops? If there were thats crazy considering how lightweight it was on PC.
This new boost mode is really making me regret buying so many multiplats on XB1 recently. Figured I'd be safe with old ones like TEW and now this.

All on/all off.
It's just frustrating going through the thread and seeing people saying
Test FFXV!
Test KH2.8!
Test Overwatch!
Test etc.!
If the game has Pro support, it's already seeing the improved hardware in the Pro. Boost mode is for software that hasn't been patched for the Pro, ergo, it can't automatically detect the better hardware without it toggled on.

I can tell the difference when a game goes from 30 to 60fps but i can't for the life of me notice when it's minor drops and believe me i played Alien Isolation to death on base PS4 and couldn't tell any drops.
But, i did notice some cool water effects on PC not seen on PS4. It would be cool if the Pro could pull that off now.
I asked a simple question and did a search in the thread for KH.
Also KH 2.8 came out barely a few days ago, it MUST have Pro support.
I think he gets it.
Time to take a breath.

It can be difficult to keep up with the spotty communication from devs regarding their Pro support. You can check out my Pro enhancement thread and see if that's helpful at all.
Thank you, I will.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but any chance this will bring back downsampling to TLOU? Please let it be so.

Yakuza 0 doesn't have a Pro patch and after playing it extensively before this Beta, it feels...weird now. It was 60fps but the camera is so fast now, the difference is noticeable. I guess it's better lol.
Naruto 4 is nice now too. The bigger flashier moves dont have issues anymore (even some simple combos would make the frame rate dip). It used to dip below 30 for sure, don't see that anymore.
