They should just lock it to 30fps and push out the graphics even more in 1080p mode.

I'm glad I made the professional choice and traded in my regular ps4.

Tabby with the black magic..now the game just need to be good experience nothing earth shattering but good and enjoyable.

Wait, does anyone actually think it will stay at 60 FPS? It'll hit 60 when looking at the sky or the landscape midday. At night or any rain will cause it to drop, as well as any combat will probably plummet the frame rate.

If I have a 1080p screen, can I force ffxv to use the 4K/30fps mode to get the supersampling on my 1080p tv? Or would I be forced to use the inconsistent 1080p/40-50fps mode?

Yeah, it will downsample automatically.
If the game has multiple Pro modes it should be an ingame option. If there's just one (4K), it will use that one.

They will give you the option probably.

So if I wanted to try the 1080p/ 40-50fps mode I would only be able to on the OG PS4?

No, OG PS4 won't even have that mode, it's 1080p/30fps.
When you use Pro it will be an option in the game if you want 4K/30fps or 1080p/60fps.
No. OG PS4 is only 900p-1080p/30.
PS4 Pro will have:
1080p/unlocked (aiming for 60)
4K/30
That's it. The 4K/30 mode will downsample to your 1080p TV.

Perfect thank you. This might be the game to get me to get the PRO.

HHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOLY Shit.
WHAT.
If they pull this off, Square Enix has gotten 200% respect from me regardless if the game is ass or not.

Not native 4k of course? Wonder what the rendering resolution is and if its using the checkerboard technique

They said it will be using checkerboard, no information yet what the base resolution is but should be 1800p I think?
99% of games that are boasting 4K will use checkerboard. Only some indie games will be true 4K.

If I'm understanding correctly:
Base/Slim PS4 - 900p - 1080p @30fps
PS4Pro at XV launch - 4k @30fps or Downsampled 1080p @30fps, depending on your TV
PS4Pro after December patch - 4k @30fps, Downsampled 1080p @30fps or 1080p @60fps
That last one is assuming they'll make the 1080p modes separate options. I don't see why they wouldn't.

Nioh is 4k/30fps i would hardly call that indie.

There will be a lot of PS4 games coming later with Pro support, so unless XV is literally the only thing you play...
Tbh, it will be the only thing I play...until February when Persona 5 comes out.
Looks like it'll be 4k downsampled for me.
I can't wait for 60fps and want the better IQ/
Great news all round though.
This got me laughing for some reason lool.

Glad I avoided all the concern trolling in a lot the PS4 Pro threads and stuck with my preorder. Cannot wait to continue to see what devs come up with for the Pro hardware, that I won't get with my OG PS4 currently.

The downsampling happens automatically but otherwise you are correct. Don't forget about HDR
Vincent Grayson

Also Skyrim and ESO. I think F4 is getting checkboard, but the other two are native, IIRC.
Learn something new every day. Pro redeemed etc etc.

Def forgot about HDR. Just didn't feel like typing out downsampled every time, though, lol

Pro patch redeemed
Really excited tbh

an additional mode for 1080p bells and whistles like ROTTR has would be nice.

You won't have to force anything.
The way I understood it:
- Every PS4 Pro game will run in a '4K mode'. The specifics of this 4K mode (achiever through checkerboarding or other 'tricks', can differ per game). If you have a 1080p screen it will downsample that 4K output to your 1080p screen; resulting in a cleaner image (compared to regular PS4 output).
But,some games will give you options next to the 'default' 4K mode:
-- In the case of FF15; you can also choose for a 1080p60fps mode.
-- In the case of Tomb Raider; you can choose for a 1080p60fps mode OR 1080p30fps with 'better graphics'.
I'm using 60fps and 'better graphics' very generally here, but you get the point.

1080p/60fps sounds pretty fucking amazing. Can't wait for the game and really happy with my Pro purchase. Not sure if it's early release enthusiasm but devs seem to be rather eager to support the Pro's additinal horse power. Really nice.
The ideal scenario would be multiple options; but my guess it will differ per developer. Some will do the least amount of work necessary for Pro support.
I doubt if gamers would mind specific sliders for various settings; or tradeofs like 'increased draw distance but lesser quality shadows".

I'd be happy if the update just sped up the laggy menus!
It would make the game 100% more enjoyable.

It seems like the engine isn't that CPU heavy after all if they pull this off.
