#Ps4 pro waste of money Ps4

I feel I need to buy a 65' 4k & HDR Tv to truly get any Pro PS4 value and I'm even starting to think that I may even need this for a Gaming PC too. The Witcher 3 GOTY £34.99 Steam vs £34.99 PSN. Looked at Steam before and compared the following games to PSN prices, noting if I did do a Gaming PC and bought these on Steam, I wouldn't be able to share them with my son on his PS4. At the very least note the fact that I'd be doing it purely for 60fps/mods/exclusives because in terms of IQ, I really can't see a difference is worth that amount of extra money (if this represents what people are saying about supersampling etc) Some comments are way hyperbole imo and downright misleading imo but we all having differences so not gonna read too much into it.

If you take into account the 'many' comments on how much better supersampling is and how 'cleaner' the picture is on a 1080p set, then, 'subject to other peoples tv size & sitting distance', I really am now starting to question whether or not I'm going to even bother with a Gaming PC. I would also say who knows what is going to happen in the future with 1080p settings on the Pro and this right here, is the big 'who knows'. If you don't own a ps4 and you're looking to buy one, then obviously a Pro is the way to go (because it does have some other benefits to some). If you already own a ps4 and don't intend to buy 4K TV with HDR, then it's a waste of money. Without a 4K TV & HDR its not worth it at all. It made no improvement to the gameplay or your perception of IQ at all. = HOWEVER, in motion and once your eyes had adjusted (20 seconds) you couldn't really give a shit. = It was a cleaner, sharper image on the Pro 'although' some parts looked slightly jaggier on the Pro (street lights on The Auction House, as an example) Some flowers and trees were easy to spot this difference. = Probably the biggest difference in quality between the two (which is pretty fucking funny when you consider it's only going from 900p to 1080p - perhaps this says that 4K supersampling isn't as good as a 'real' resolution bump?) as in when you switched HDMI source between the Pro & Base Ps4, you noticed a slightly blurrier difference overall.

Either in still or in motion as the game was very clean anyway after the latest update using the new AA. = Practically no difference what so ever. = Runs Smooth As Fuck on Base Ps4 and a Stutter Fests on Pro = The softer look of the base Ps4 kind of looked more natural and fitting with the look of the game. = We would say the water was the standout difference in quality between the two and 'sometimes' looked slightly aliased on the base Ps4 but you could hardly tell.

= In still shots, you could tell on 'some' parts the higher resolution textures but not on everything. = A 'slightly' and I mean 'slightly' ever so softer a picture.

= A little difference in cleanness of jaggies BUT ONLY when stopped to look at. Now I'm old and my eyes aren't perfect so I also had my son here who has amazing eyesight! (Eagle Vision). I wouldn't want to be having to constantly move my head to see what was going on in the corners of the screen lol!Īnyway, last night did some side by side 'switching' tests. My personal opinion that at this size screen and distance, gaming images look big and clean enough (including non-pro patched ps4 games) as well as having the picture framed. I play on a 1080p Projector 68' and sit 7-8ft away. $399 isn't worth 'omg, so clean, pixels so smooth, oh much supersampling'. In short, you did the right thing in not getting the Pro. Sony is selling the Pro based on the fact that it could do 4K/Faux4K and HDR on 4K tvs. Sony wasn't selling us the PS4 Pro based on supersampling on 1080p sets, just like MS wasn't selling Xbox One S on the promise of marginally faster fps on some games due to a slight boost in clock speeds to the CPU/GPU. Is Joe/Jane gamer going to notice it? Probably not. What I'm trying to get at is this, did I notice a difference in IQ while playing games on base PS4 to PS4 Pro? Yes. OP, I can definitely tell you that you made the right choice in getting a base PS4 especially while gaming on a 1080p set. Now I feel like the PS4 Pro is completely worth the price of admission, even on day one. Fast forward to this past Friday and my 65' Samsung KS9000 comes in and I'm blown away. I noticed because I specifically was looking out for it and because I've been gaming for years, along with the help of threads on Gaf to help me spot these improvements.

I owned a PS4 since March of 2014 and I played on a 55' 1080p set and got a Pro on launch day and did notice improvements to IQ (especially in the games that ran at a higher res and then downsampled on 1080p) but I wouldn't say it was 'OMFG 😱 this is so noticeable'.
