Final Fantasy XV aiming for 60FPS/1080p on PS4 Pro | UP - dated Feb 21st

Perfo

Thirteen flew over the cuckoo's nest
Not an expert here but... 1080p with unlocked framerate also grants that extra IQ from downsampling or not?
 
4K all the way.

Loved the results in Infamous First Light. It looks more than amazing

Although.... If this game became harder over the course... I'll definitely switch to 60 fps to improve controls (Parry and Defense are key in this combat system)

Expect 60 fps when looking at the sky and jarring drops to 30 in CPU heavy scenes.......i hope i am wrong though. They should include 1080p-1440p/30 mode with better draw distance and higher quality assets.

Sounds promising. From what I've seen of Rise of The Tomb Raider with an unlocked frame rate, although it isn't locked to 60fps it seems to do a really good job of reaching it. That doesn't relate directly to the performance in this game but hopefully they'll do just as good a job with that mode as happened with Tomb Raider.

During the latest Active Time Report broadcast, Final Fantasy XV Director Hajime Tabata provided more information on the performance of the game on PS4 Pro.

The game will launch with 4K and HDR support on PS4 Pro, but Tabata-san expects it to need further tuning. We learn that the current build runs between 40 and 50 FPS in 1080p most of the time on Sony’s new and upgraded console, but the team plans to update the game for improved performance in December.

The developer is aiming to have two modes: one will run at 1080p, and will target 60 frames per second. The second will target 4K (upscaled) resolution and 30 FPS.

Final Fantasy XV will release on November 29th, just 19 short days away. And I can feel it in my bones already.

In that case I will prefer 4k/30 to have a steady framerate. I doubt it will hit 60 often in open environments with large draw distances.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
HOLY SHIT.

This awesome !

Both modes sound awesome. If given the choice I'd still go for the 4K so I can see the world in all of it's glorious detail.

Confused. Will the 1080p unlocked framerate mode be up at launch and the updated in December or are they releasing a patch with 1080p/60 in December?

Framerate upgrade for 1080p is the patch in December. They currently have the game running between 40-50fps but thinks they can improve it even further by December.

1080 p 60 fps patch update in dec.

4k hdr/30fps at launch... you'll also get supersampling on your 1080p tv at launch.
 
Other good thing this could hint at... KH0.2 could offer 1080p/60fps?
KH3 even?

Kh3 should hopefully hit this being the one of the big square games and having sufficient time to be pushed towards pro enhancements.
Will be playing ffxv two weeks later than everyone else so hope the patch might make it by then. Doubt it but nothing wrong with hoping.

It will be available at launch but it will actually be a 40-50fps mode that they hope to bring as close to 60fps as possible in December.

Shit.

Now I wish I had a Pro.

Definitely waiting for the GOTY Edition of the PS5 before jumping into next gen.

I'd rather have 4K 30fps or at least 1800.

Don't know why 60fps matters in a game like this. It's not a twitch shooter.

Then don't use the unlocked framerate mode?

SO you guys are saying that the only Pro version I can play on my 1080p TV at launch is the 4k/30 downsampled? Or will there be an unlocked 1080p version with a less stable framerate at launch and improved performance in December?
 
Fuck. Now I'm considering a Pro...but does one game really justify it? I'm getting this game day one anyway.

Edit: Yeah, because I'm not overly concerned with the 60fps, have they intimated at all that they may also implement a mode where it's 1080p/30 with more bells and whistles?

It's getting 4K 30fps at launch. Also, action games are better with 60fps.

"Square Enix also shared new details about the game’s planned PlayStation 4 Pro support. An update adding 4K and HDR support will be released alongside the game on November 29, but they want to release an update that has been optimized a bit more at a later date. They want to release another PlayStation 4 Pro update in December as well, which aims to implement support for 1080p at 60 frames per second on HDTVs. They’re currently at the tuning stage, but have it running roughly between 40 and 50 frames per second."

Pro Purchase justified.

So, the "All games after pro launch are required to have a pro-mode" was just a rumor? (as In, developers are encouraged to support but not made to?)

What's Sony going to do? Slap Square Enix on the wrist and not release FFXV on PS4 until it has a finalized Pro mode?

From my understanding the unlocked 1080p 60 fps version that is currently running at 40-50fps will be patched in dec. At launch just 4k/hdr/30fps.

But it will have a Pro mode on launch, that's 4K / HDR / 30fps.

It will have an additional Pro mode later.

I may not have explained myself properly, sorry.

One of the Pro's first leaks (that Powerpoint presentation) had a bullet point that mentioned Sony would require all developers to have a "pro" mode for all games that launched after the machines release.

Since then, I was never able to find whether that leaked statement was true or not (they only confirmed for 1st party titles, not 2nd/3rd). That's what I meant with my question.

But it will have a Pro mode on launch, that's 4K / HDR / 30fps.

It will have an additional Pro mode later.

Yeah, I got that, thank you :)

Again, not complaining at all. I had the hardware pre-ordered since it was announced XD.

Best news of the year, will p l ay in 4k cuz i 'm unpatient but will deffo check 60 fps mode later.

I wish ffxiv made use of the pro too thats rhe one im waiting for to get a upgrade

Right, what I meant is, even with a hypothesis that FFXV doesn't launch with a Pro mode (which isn't correct, as it does have a Pro mode on launch) there are two scenarios:

Either:
- That bullet point was false

Or:
- That bullet point was true, but FFXV releases after Nov 10th without a Pro mode, but it will be done later.

I can't see Sony failing cert on something like FFXV to enforce a policy. I'm inclined to believe that promised support would have been enough in that hypothetical case.

edit: clarified so I don't get misquoted!

Interesting. We'll see how well they do Pro optimisation if they will bother doing it intensively etc. Considering the CPU and all getting 60fps on this would be impressive

I get it now, and yes, it does make a lot of sense.

Thanks :)

Pretty good news here, really looking forward to play this game on 60 fps. Happy to get a pro this afternoon after that news....

Well guess im going to go snag a PS4 Pro now.

I was talking to a family member about skipping the pro and now I am literally about to pick one up later today if I can find one. SE making me look like a fraud, lol. I refuse to play this at 900-1080p if there is gonna be a 4K mode at launch on the new console. I've waited like a decade for this game...
 
Damn, good to hear. Didn't think they'd bother targeting that at all. Whether they end up accomplishing that without major hitches remains to be seen, but good news nonetheless, especially since XV was the reason I ended up pre-ordering a Pro, lol (Gonna pick up mine in the next hour, actually)
