Can any fellow kindly summarise the key differences between the two?

There is any spoiler in the video?

Can any fellow kindly summarise the key differences between the two?

PS4 - 1080P 30FPS with minor dips
PS4 Pro - 2160P checkerboard 30FPS with minor dips or 1080p performance mode at locked 30 (pretty pointless; see last sentence)

Both versions look and run excellent with the day one patch improving pro performance. Base PS4 version isn't missing anything, just runs at a lower res.

It's also worth noting those minor drops are only during cutscenes. The actual gameplay is always a solid 30FPS in both versions.

I posted yesterday that the Amateur version is native 1080p but what surprised me was the AA solution... I wanted to know more about it.
I did not noticed any dip in the first two chapters.

Ohhhh that can be the case... watching is hard to see dips than playing.

Same performance as horizon basically.

Did they said what resolution the 4K checkerboarding was rendering from?
