The Only Vestige of Happiness at the Sorry Company of Sony: PlayStation 4

i can't tell if it's latency on my end or if these 4k demos are...using cinematic framerates

[C.Mongler]

also this feels more like a sony tv sell than a ps4 pro one lol

[Samus Aran]

not that i'm a framerate whore or anything but shouldn't we be more concerned about standardizing 60fps than standardizing 4k resolution?? seems more important to me

i think many would agree.

[TooB]

So when are the 4k remasters of each and every hd  remaster coming?

[C.Mongler]

i think they said the games will be kind of dynamic based on display, so if you're using a 1080p things might up to 60fps if they've been patched to do so...maybe?

that'd be alright

depending on the cost of this damn thing lol

[TooB]

As long as future games still work on my regular ps4, I have no immediate interest in this thing...

Unless.....

4k makes text unreadable on my hdtv, a la 360 and ps3 on my tube tv....

Goddammit, that's gonna be the case, isn't it?

[TooB]

Also, is a 4k tv not gonna be enough?

Am I gonna have to buy a 4k, hdr tv?

[C.Mongler]

$399, that's not bad tbh

[C.Mongler]

also i'm sure this is mostly just 4k upscalling and not rendering if that wasn't obvious, but they totally danced around saying it definitively lol

[C.Mongler]

HERE'S SOME DUDE FROM THE REDDIT:

The Ps4 Pro both does and doesnt support 4k. It Does output 4k and HDR images to the TV, but the way they render it is interesting.
The Ps4 Pro has twice the power a normal Ps4, but 4k would need 4 times the power. What they do its render in a checkerboard pattern, and alternate it. That means that instead of rendering 4 pixels per "1080p" pixel, they render 2, and the next frame they render the other 2.
Then they use high quality temporal antialiasing to smooth it out.
Think of it as a really really fancy interlacing. Developers dont really need to use the power for that, they can also chose to keep the 1080p resolution and get more framerates or improved graphics.

i love reddit bs lol

[C.Mongler]

i love reddit bs lol

care to clarify or did you just swing by to drop your own turd

[squirrelfriend]

idk his sources for how the ps4 pro works but it sounds like remotely believable bs
like lol interlacing

[Thyme]
