PS4 Pro: Devs from Naughty Dog, Guerrilla and Insomniac Praise its Features; Supersampling Supported

During the livescast following the PlayStation Meeting held in New York, Guerrilla Games Art Director Jan-Bart Van Beek, Insomniac Games Co-Founder Brian Hastings and Naughty Dog Lead Programmer Christian Gyrling explained the advantages brought by the newly announced PS4 Pro from the perspective of their studios.

If I remember correctly, Andrew House said PS4 Pro remain with Original PS4.

Yea that's always been the plan. Both consoles will share the same games and ecosystem. Ps4 pro is for the individuals that want better performance for their games. If you don't feel that's important then just stick with the vanilla ps4. This isn't the start of a new gen like others desperately want it to be.

[TwoForce]

I think people was expected way too much about PS4 Pro. Even I got odd similar to the show, if you watched Unicorn Gundam, Unicorn and Banshee perform same attitude and same tactics only tiny different is Banshee have more armor and upgrade magnum, but the performance still the same thing with Unicorn.

@twoforce
I find it funny how at first when these rumours came out people were quick to complain about the alienation of the 40+ million gamers that already purchased the vanilla ps4. Now that everything has become official we now know that there won't be no alienation because it's not a big power jump which leads to people still complaining because NOW it's not enough of a power jump. Sony has made it clear that this isn't the start of a new generation. If one is happy with what they have then just stay with it while still enjoying the same current and future games. I'm psyched seeing how horizon looked running on it.

"Van Beek also mentioned that there is of course the option of a much more stable frame rate. With the PS4 pro there are no frame rate drops any more, all games run perfectly smooth at 30 or 60 FPS"

this is big, more care about frame-rate than resolution, and they addressed the MP issue between Base and Pro "Gyrling mentioned that developers are being very careful to keep the playing field on the same level in multiplayer, having players on PS4 Pro and standard PS4 playing at the same frame rate"

----------------------------- -----

"According to Hastings there are also a couple of “extra little pieces of hardware” in the console that are “really clever.” The GPU isn’t just over twice as powerful in core horsepower, but there are a few “extra twists” that help it to achieve 4K-level of fidelity"

Pro GPU is several generations advanced from original PS4, it has advanced shaders, tessellation, bandwidth and geometry engines
---------------

"Van Beek explained that PS4 Pro supports supersampling on normal HDTVs, helping in removing shimmering and aliasing, and creating a much crisper image even on a normal 1080p screen"

this is underestimated, if you don't have a 4K TV the games will still look and feel much better.

Didnt spencer say the same about scorpio and being part of the same xbox ecosystem?

Buzz words this gen are: 4k, hdr, forward compatible and ecosystem.

[COMMENT-OF-THE-YEAR]

Yeah, I am starting to think PS5 isn't to far out.. 2 years. till announcement.

[endi123]

Sony can't develop a new console like that, also ps4 pro is here why the rush or does the Scorpio power bother you, I just don't expect Sony to release a new console that quick, but if they do I'm sure ms will follow the year after

[toyzombie]

I'm thinking by 2020 we should have a PS5 pushing around 8 - 10 teraflops

[Omnislashver36]

@toyzombie

I'm thinking more like ~10 TFLOPS in 2019

[deadfrag]

Great PS4 Pro supports Supersampling from 4k to 1080p that great for 1080p HDTV owners.

[Retroman]

(and Insomniac Praise its Features; )

Curious, wonder will Insomniac make HDR Ratchet and Clank game or will they lead off with the New Spiderman game coming??

[IIFloodyII]

All game supporting supersampling for 1080p only users is really nice to hear, just need to hear how it'll improve performance for me to get kinda interested now. Sony shouldn't have just focused on 4K and HDR at the meeting imo, as most won't benefit as much from that.

[nRicosS]

Uncharted 4, horizon, GOW, are proof that ps4 og could handle amazing graphic.
With ps4 pro, i wish they can create more feast for eye.
Ps5 can wait until 2019, when 4k tv become more common and affordable, and ps5 can guarantee all game will run at native 4k and 60fps.

[Movefasta1993]

who the fuck cares about 2019?

[nRicosS]

If you dont care thats ok :D

[sullynathan]

ps4 devs praise new ps4, shocker.

[blackblades]

Some journalist that went to the meeting praised it as well and all dev was sony devs. Gotta personally see for yourself just like you have to personally see vr.

[S2Killinit]

Imagine what ND will do with all that power.

[Retroman]

"I personally" like to see ND develop Jax an Daxter and Crash using HDR for ps4 pro.
that would blow me from here to the Moon.
