Open world games like FF15 will benefit the most from this. Can't wait for my PS4 Pro and a new 4k TV next year :)

GottaBjimmyb3206d ago

This is a freaking pretty game even on the current hardware. Really excited for this game. Hope it lives up to the hype, but it is going to be hard.

mikeslemonade3205d ago

Gonna be able to play on a stable framerate on the Pro! Not gonna run well on the vanilla PS4.

attilayavuzer3206d ago

Except that open world games have typically benefited more from having extra cpu power as opposed to gpu.

ILostMyMind3206d ago

Fortunately the PSPro has both.

--Onilink--3206d ago (Edited 3206d ago )

@Ivan

No it doesn't. The CPU is the same, just a very minimal OC

GrontB3206d ago

Why all the disagrees? That was a true statement about cpu over gpu power. Not saying the ps4 pro can't improve open world games. I'm totally getting one. Already sold my ps4 in anticipation to put more towards it

Kingthrash3603205d ago

Should have waited to trade in....I'm sure they will have trade in deals.

Agreed. People's tax money is already planned for next year lol

SarcasticDuck3206d ago

except you're a fool for thinking FFXV is really an "open world"

nix3206d ago

first part is open. it gets narrowed in the second half but you can always roam around by going back in the open area even though you're already in second half. that's what the dev said. i think, the game was open world completely but now they've just decided to finish it fast so they're just not making it open world all the way. that's my point of view though.

SarcasticDuck3206d ago

@nix it will be like all the classic FFs. Off course you can go wherever you want, but you won't find anything to do or you'll find an obstacle. It's just a linear game with open areas instead of corridors (not trying to put the game down though, i'm a fan and i want this game badly)

_-EDMIX-_3206d ago

@nix "but now they've just decided to finish it fast so they're just not making it open world all the way"

I'm not really sure thats the case considering how long the game has been in development how major of a design move that is. That isn't a boss or level missing, that is the structure of the game being changed and I don't really think that likely with this title. Who knows, but I'm not sure thats an easy shift.

MADGameR3205d ago

I'll be getting the PS4 Pro at launch and the 4K HDR HDTV Sometime by the end of the year.

too bad the footage was recorded with a stone...

DiscoMan3206d ago (Edited 3206d ago )

ikr. I mean, I guess the game has better ambient occlusion and lighting?

vergilxx33206d ago

And waaay better ground textures , I totally hate low res ground textures

Sokol3206d ago

Smooth frame-rate is the biggest plus I have noticed compared to the demo and older videos. It also looks like better textures and colors.
Seems like PS4 Pro will definitely help future games run more efficient.

lockedongamer13205d ago

I'd rather wait for a new console than buy this.

XanderZane3205d ago

Yes, as long as developer patch their games to do so. Won't benefit me, as I don't have a 4K UHDTV yet. Game does look good though and I do want FF XV for my PS4. All current FF and Kingdom Hearts game I play on PS4 or 3DS.

MasterCornholio3206d ago

That's pretty cool.

I thought the developers said they had no plans to release an improved version for the Pro.

Sevir3206d ago

They said Pro support was confirmed...

vergilxx33206d ago

they didn't had a choice every game released from September must have pro support

Dark SNES Games Not Made For Kids

As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

YourMommySpoils1h ago

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning771d 2h ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

The key word big can be ether good or bad 🤷🏿only time can tell

First Forza being generated entirely via AI?

If any company would do it, it'd be them.

Ouch for everyone except Nintendo

Neonridr1d 10h ago

Nintendo - 152,790 units
PlayStation - 6,034 units
Microsoft - 191 units

Nintendo selling 25x as many units as the next closest competitor.

“ Nintendo Switch 2 still dominating in Japan”

Such a strange headline. I mean it’s a brand new console released on June 5th. It would be weird if it wasn’t still dominating in sales.

repsahj1d ago

It would be even stranger if the headline was that the Switch 2 wasn't selling. XD

raWfodog6h ago

Yeah, that’s basically what I’m saying but obviously others don’t agree.

wesnytsfs1d 6h ago

I figure its dominating everywhere. I stopped with consoles this gen sticking with PC and the switch will get 99% of the games this way.

repsahj1d ago

Going strong sales! The Switch 2 was launched here in Southeast Asia on June 26. I was among those who pre-ordered. I got my unit the same day with Cyberpunk 2077, and there was a long line of people getting their pre-orders, not as long as the line when a NBA 2K series launched, but it was different because it will be released on all platforms.

I want to see how well the June and July world wide sales.
