Yes.If every game is like this I will buy Pro day one.60 fps option for me.

Make this standard for all games please. Doesn't even need to be locked 60fps for high framerate mode just put all the extra juice towards it

Good job, devs.
Hope this will be standard for at least all of Sony's first party games. It needs to. I guess for other developers it can be a hassle. We still don't know what they want from devs for the Pro.

I'd imagine that going the distance for the PS4 Pro enhancements is what got them stage time, and added mindshare, in spite of being a timed exclusive. So there is that.

Given the GPU in this is basically a RX 480, it can do nice things, I guess in 4k30.

We PC gaming now.
The guy didn't say there was a 60fps option. Not sure where the OP got that info from
Don't get your hopes up on every game having this. Very few older games will and newer games will likely just up the eye candy at 1080p but keep the same framerates. We're going to get a few games like this made to "sell" the PS Pro and then it'll be the same no-choice free for all we had before for the majority of titles.
Good way to do it. I'll be on that higher framerate, assuming it's consistently 45fps+.
What, were you expecting a choice? Your system can't handle it.

This is me as well basically. Want options, PC is always the way to go. Console gaming is (was?) about the curated, fixed setting where you didn't have to worry about anything, it was optimized as much as the dev pushed it, you took it or you didn't.
Considering you have
- an option of 1080P/60FPS at PS4 level graphics
- an option to run 1080P/30FPS at max graphics
I am fairly certain the 4K/30FPS version will be below PS4 level graphics. Otherwise I just don't see how the game can offer PS4 graphics at 1080P/60 and then quadruple the resolution with only half the framerate.

Having multiple modes for the PS4 Pro would be amazing! I hope more developers do it!
The GPU isn't as fast as a RX 480 though, the RX 480 is a 5.8 teraflop GPU, this has a 4.2 teraflop GPU.

Is that really fair tho?

I HATE OPTIONS
North of 45, wildly fluctuating unlocked.
No shit.

Great options. I hope every game forthcoming does something like this.
i don't see how Sony can mandate that kind of thing when they are still just selling one title across PS4 ecosystems. Doesn't it mean more optimization and work for the same amount of payoff?
Seems far more complicated than it needs to be

Won't be native 4k. It will use 'rendering techniques' such as checkerboard 'rendering.
It's 72% of a RX 480. With CPUs nowhere near those used for those benchmarks.
The pessimist in me thinks that they put all this effort to get stage time from Sony and get included as part of the PS4 Pro marketing push so that the title doesn't underperform for a second straight year.
1080p/30 with medium-ish settings. Same as always.
Yes...? I mean you can object to the idea of a PS4 Pro/upgraded system as a whole, but it's happening, it'd be wrong for them not to take advantage of the hardware or offer choices where available.
1080P 30 fps probably

Why do you think the PS4 Pro exists?

I have to disagree, I think it's very good to have "PC-like" options.
Developers are free to do what they want. They can include just one "Pro-optimized" mode, or they can have 10 varying "Pro" modes, all with varying degrees of options/graphical settings.

This is much better than i thought. I figured it would just be 1080p/30 FPS with bells and whistles.
Yea I won't listen to Scot Amos of Crystal Dynamics. I'll go with your translation.
Seriously though this great and I hope more Devs follow.
This is false - the actual quote for "high framerate mode"
"We lock you at 1080p, but unlock the framerate; so you can go north of 45 frames or better"
i love it, this is a way to go.

Might want to update the OP. They said north of 45 fps.
north of 45fps =/= locked 60fps
north of 45fps =/= locked 60fps

What happened to "code to the metal" and "console optimization"? xD
They can surely squeeze something more out of this even without that mumbo jumbo. We need an all AMD benchmark at 4k.
Even 70% of 4k with reconstruction can look amazingly good if done right.
Something like Ryse on X1. 900p but damn it looked good at launch.

It's more like a 380X really. I don't even know why they used a full Polaris chip if they're only targeting 4.2 TF.

That's fucking awesome. PS4 Pro giving me something positive to say about PS4 for once. I hope more developers follow in these footsteps.

Don't worry. Pro owners will feel the same in 2 years when the PS5 is released.
