Wow that's awesome. I hope they can get a good stable 60. Game already looks amazing.
Pretty sure they said HDR is on the One S and all PS4 versions.
Sounds great, thank you.

A relatively (i mean it
) old screenshot before SE went hard in on optimization. While the progress at this stage they've made isn't totally atypical for games development it's still incredibly impressive how they've optimized when you see their CPU usage etc.

For gods sake, i defended the hell out of this presentation of the game...
I mean, i still would, if it looked like this.
But damn.

Thanks! Been curious because if it looks and performs poorly on Xbox one I'm going to have to get a pro.

Don't worry. The recent OG PS4 footage is already way better than that. I'm sure the pro version will look even better.
I don't know, the improvements are veeeeeeery nice, but i think i'll stick to my OG PS4 for the 1st playthrough since i could afford a Pro but its a risky move, and then i might as well wait a couple of years for a PC version with a beefy computer and play it 4k/60fps with crazy details and all the DLCs, or maybe a PS5 version.

They need to fix some details like LOD , AA and shadows. I hope the overhaul update won't take that long next year. Anyway this is good as a start.

I don't know about significant but it should look good because of the supersampling etc.
Even the December patch is a "lightweight" version making sound the more time they mess around with it and get the dlc out, we could see more Pro benefits later down the line.

Glad I made the decision to upgrade to the Pro now. So as someone who isn't very knowledgeable on the technical aspects of IQ, will 4k30 with downsampling look more impressive than 1080p60? I don't mind waiting for the latter update (what's a few weeks after this long), but my main priority is the best details and quality being displayed.
visually yeah. I doubt its native 4K though, more like 1800p or 1400p for high resolution mode and 1080p for 60fps mode.
Dynamic resolution (Depending on the console) at ~30fps.
Not me, at least. I plan of starting my first game with 4K/30fps, and then my second playthrough for 1080p/60fps.
You'll have to test it for yourself in motion to see.
It might not be a popular opinion, but I personally wouldn't even think of downsampling a game if I can't run it at 60fps that way, and I can at native res. The decrease in temporal resolution makes it so all of the amazing detail I get from downsampling will appear as blurry the moment I start actually playing and moving the camera. It'll look amazing in screenshots, but in motion I'll take native res and 60fps any day.

Thanks, I'll likely just play in the day 1 mode then so I don't have to tiptoe around any story spoilers after the game is released. I believe there was a new game plus mode confirmed so I can just try that mode on the second run through it.

Hoping for better performance in FFXV after the choppy demos was one of the primary reasons I reserved a PS4 Pro. Glad to hear this might turn out as I hoped!

Yeah I definitely understand where you are coming from. For me, I tend to put emphasis on things like detail, draw distance, etc because I'm just used to 30 fps as a standard. I'm sure from a gameplay perspective after trying the 60fps mode on this I will prefer it, but at least for my initial experience with this game I am looking for it to be as much of a visual spectacle as possible. So as long as that 30fps is locked or close to it, I doubt I'll have any complaints.

If you think like that you'll never play it. Lol It sounded like the more time they spend with the Pro the more possibilities of other Pro patches coming. On reddit they said the December patches was referred to as the "lightweight" version.

That's a bold statement to make. 60fps at 1080p would be a major reason for me to consider buying the PS4 Pro, sooner rather than later. I've definitely decided to wait on a 4K TV, as there's no way in hell I'm buying an LCD (especially edge-lit), and OLEDs still lag behind plasma for gaming purposes.
Are we sure they can pull off a locked 60fps? There's a huge difference between this and unlocked but variable.

Locked? Never.
Only a fool would think that... pro ain't got juice like that. I'm just glad it's an option lol
Oh yeah, it'll be glorious. Not to mention, the first patch might not be very close to a 60fps experience, and it might take time to get it like that, so might as well go for the stable one for your first time through, and maybe do NG+ with unlocked framerate, and hopefully by the time you're there it'll be running much better.

I'd be impressed if they can manage to keep the game hovering around 50-60fps without any drops below 50. As always, it's great to see players finally get more options like this.
I imagine the dungeons will run smoother than the open-world assuming there's not too many enemies on screen.

I'll wait for receipts. Pro still on hold for me.
