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.Square desperate for rise of tomb to sell on ps4 so bustin going out all the options.
- 4K mode, the big resolution and developers made the optimal choices
- 1080p high framerate, the game locked at 60 FPS
- 1080p bells and whistles, 30 FPS locked with every processing technique pushed to the max
That sounds good to me.

The source was the Crystal Dynamic guy on the Sony live. I'm sure you guys can find it.

Yes.If every game is like this I will buy Pro day one.60 fps option for me.
They never said locked at 60.
They said north of 45 fps.
What about regular ps4 players? Piss on us right?
If that means options then I want that smell more.
I really hope not many games do this. Part of the reason I left PC gaming was because I can't stop changing settings, even just when I move the camera. Decisions like this paralyze my ability to simply play a game.
Given the GPU in this is basically a RX 480, it can do nice things, I guess in 4k30.
What, were you expecting a choice? Your system can't handle it.

4K is a resolution.
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.

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.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.
So, what does this mean for running on an old PS4?
No bells, no whistles, 108ßp and somewhere up to 30 fps?
Does this mean, (depending on the developer) we will have up to 4 different settings across the PS4 family? 3 Pro modes, one old one?
Is that really fair tho?

Why do I suddenly feel like a 2nd rate citizen owning an OG PS4?
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.
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?
Translation:
- 4k Temporal with low settings
- 1080p/60-ish fps with medium-low settings
- 1080p/30 fps with medium settings + maybe some high.

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.
It's 72% of a RX 480. With CPUs nowhere near those used for those benchmarks.
