PlayStation 4 Pro |Launch Thread| PS4 Reloaded

Just got delivered not too long ago. Doing a transfer now. 200gb in 45 est minutes? Not bad I guess.

Will have to redownload other things while I work lol. Thank Sony for remote downloads
 
Yeah, I'm not getting shit today. UPS just did a "Destination Scan" at 8PM for some reason (after it was already out for delivery) which definitely means it's at some UPS den somewhere. Good job. Thanks Amazon for never delivering with UPS and then picking this order to experiment with.

Been playing BF1 the whole day today and I have to say it looks and runs beautifully. Didnt notice any major framedrops in 64 player modes, which is a god send from the BF4 days. Im downloading ESO at the moment and i'll see how that runs tomorrow.
 
I'm about to trade my PS4 for a Pro. PS4 has been initialized. If I didn't deactivate my PS4 on the actual console, and just deactivate it via the website. Will I have any security issues or is it the same thing?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
For the people that has a 4K TV HDR and the Pro, can we all share what would be the best Video Output Setting on the Pro?

Here is mine:
Resolution: Automatic
RGB Range: Automatic
HDR: Automatic
Deep Color Output: Automatic

I am wondering if I should change to Full RGB Range?

Automatic is OK too, if your TV supports it, the PS4 will automatically go to RGB on non-HDR games and on YUV for HDR games.

can you play games on the new PS4 pro before you transfer your other games from an older PS4? I want to jump in with Battlefield and transfer the other games overnight.

Holy crap, PS4 Pro is a generational leap in my eyes. Don't let anyone tell you that this is some missable small step up. The image quality is to die for on my 4K HDR TV.

I'm even more excited now to see what Scorpio can bring to the table in a year's time.

Seem to be having trouble transferring data from my old PS4 to the Pro.

Both PS4's are hooked up to the same router but when I get to the end of the setup I get an error. Error code is NW-31175-7. Don't know whether it's a problem with PSN itself or a problem on my end.
 
Mine was just delivered to my office and its killing me to not be able to try it out until I get home tonight... and install the new hard drive... and restore from backup. :( I'll probably have to get up early before work tomorrow to play.
 
Got my Pro this afternoon, left video settings on Automatic for now, everything seems to work fine so far. Played Ratchet & Clank and The Last of Us, while a few more games update.

R&C looks stunning with super sharp image quality, no jaggies at all and the colours look fantastic with HDR on.

TLoU also looks fantastic. I played with the Native 4k/30fps setting, as the shadows look a lot better without jaggies, again it looks super sharp and HDR gives it a much more natural look. TLoU has never looked better.

Will try some VR games later but I'm really impressed with the picture quality, its much sharper than standard PS4 at 1080p on my Sony KD-55X8509C.

I like the console a lot, its not much bigger than the original PS4 and its very quiet. The disc drive is the loudest bit but its no louder than the original, so not an issue. The USB on the back makes it look neater too, with the PSVR cable behind the console now.

Didn't bother swapping the HDD, far too much messing around and time wasted, will just uninstall older games when I finish with them or get a new 2tb HDD for Xmas.

You can't deactivate a PS4 console via website, sadly. At least not here in NA.

Change the Resolution to 2160 that will prevent hand shaking issues.

Just got mine delivered .. wife has it. Yay! 1080p set for now but very excited to see the benefits. I've waited to play Uncharted 4 and looking forward to the 1080p benefits.

You need to have the PS4's connected together, one end of the ethernet cable in the old and the other in the Pro. No need for a router!

Went to BB at lunch and bought one. I had to ask if they had any and then he had to go in the back and get one. Got a free copy of Sausage Party on Blu-ray as well :p

Now to get home tonight and move my OG PS4 to the other room and get both of them set up.

Titanfall 2 looks a lot better. Image quality is nicely improved.


I agree. Looks great, and crystal clear. BF1 looks a bit better, too. Still isn't particularly fun, but looks a bit better.


Tomb Raider looks gorgeous in 4k, and you can really tell the difference when you switch between the 3 modes at the main menu. 4k is incredible.

Can't wait to try Dishonored 2.

Happy so far!

PS4 Pro has sound coming from my TV but a black screen. Tried using multiple ports and multiple HDMI and it's still not working. Anyone else having this problem?

Try booting in to safe mode. You can change resolution and such from there. Hope that fixes it.

If you leave it in automatic, I believe it will choose the best mode for the game (SDR or HDR). So for SDR it should use RGB, and HDR it should use YUV 4:2:2.

Automatic is OK too, if your TV supports it, the PS4 will automatically go to RGB on non-HDR games and on YUV for HDR games.

How sure are you of this automatic switching? Everyone seems confused in this thread.
Mine is on Automatic and Infamous First Light looked amazing in HDR and ran at 60 (or close to it) in the "Higher Framerate" mode.
