PS4 Pro owners, 5 months on, are devs doing justice to the extra power?

Or are they half-assing it so it works acceptably on the OG PS4? I want to cop a Pro as well as a Scorpio but are multiplat developers gonna come through or is it better to go with a gaming PC?

It's no extra power to really justify seeing an increase. PS4 Pro was weak out the box and just a little upgrade with the ability to do Resolution sampling and checkerboard rendering.

Overall some of the games look nice as some wasn't that bad to begin with but don't expect nothing major.

I would buy the Scorpio because it can do 4K native and only cost the price of a graphics card that will do 4K on pc

Scorpio is the best option by FAR, most bang 4 the buck. A gaming PC that is equivalent to Scorpio would cost 4x as much

They had to ensure OG PS4 compatibility and didn't want to charge a crazy price. But I've been 100% satisfied with my Pro experience.

You not getting the piff Sony exclusives on PC, but if the Playstation exclusives don't matter, then wait to see how much Scorpio costs and see the comparisons between Scorpio/Pro on the multiplat games. If the difference is enough for you, then cop the Scorp since the multiplats will be better on the Scorpio

But if you don't own a 4k set, I'd get the cheaper pro. More brehs are on it and you won't miss any of the Playstation exclusives and the multiplats will still look and run very good.

The Pro is the same price as the regular ps4, only reason the ps4 is cheaper is because the PRO was released at the same price so it drove the price down of the old model.
So this time last year people were buying the OG 500gb ps4 for 399 the pro is more powerful and comes with 1tb so the price is really irrelevant

I don't know shyt about framerates and all that shyt these stans be babbling about, but it's a big difference on the games that support the pro, not so much on the games that don't.

I know that xbox was trash, they don't even sell at pawn shops, nobody wants that shyt

ps4 pro is literally just a ps4 its not suppose to compete with the scorpio, if you want to be an idiot and buy that shyt, you gonna be mad when the ps5 comes out and finishes of xbox brand for good.

Sony beat sega and nintendo at the height of their popularity, if you think they aren't going to best microsoft which isn't even a hardware company, you are kidding yourself

Yes it was. Battlefield 1 looks way better on pro. Smoother frame rates across most games i play. Worth it.
Yeah was gonna mention this game. Saw it in person and the performance/sharpness was wayyy better than my OG PS4. So much so was I impressed that I'm gonna get one next month

The GPU of the pro is double the compute power of the OG. There is no "increase" seeing how the Pro costs the same price the original use to cost. Blatant fanboyism. WOAT 2017 brehs

You guys are making this a little too complicated.

The PS4 Pro is stronger than the PS4...and yes you can see the difference. If you want to play Sony exclusives at their absolute best, get it.

The Scorpio on paper looks like a damn desktop. If you want the best absolute performance and just fall into the Madden/COD Dudebro category...get it.

This forum man...this forum :snoop:

I don't disagree, but what about those who don't care about the performance and just want to play the dudebro games. :mjpls:

Are they buying pros or even a more expensive Scorpio?


You know the answer.... :mjpls:
