Seems like it's using Xbox One quality textures, among other settings below Very High on PC.

But is hardly noticeable from the couch. Only a little bit of smudge in the glasses.

Is there an article? I don't like to watch because it takes too much time.

Sad Affleck · Sep 14, 2016

Ah, so that's why it was looking rough compared to 1440p shots.

fantomena · Sep 14, 2016

Didn't know the game supported underwater filter mod on PS4.

That 8gb RAM holding it back?

Jesus that looks bad.

texhnolyze · Sep 14, 2016

Probably the CPU. It's surely capable of using higher settings, but it won't be running well due to the CPU bottleneck.

Jeffrey · Sep 14, 2016

do the console versions have the 'tressfx' or w/e its called now hair?

It is because I'm at work and read is safe/faster than watch.
I really love the job you guys do.

I will watch at home later.

I don't think RotR uses 8GB in PC even at 4k.

Dante316 · Sep 14, 2016

Doesn't seem surprising. It's a suped up ps4 for $400. All in all, still looks pretty good.

OK, fair enough!

There is an article too, at least!

The PS4 Pro isn't any different than any other console in that developers will gradually learn to design around its limitations. I expect games designed specifically for the PS4 Pro to look better than games that have to add support late in their development.

Doesn't look so hot.

ViciousDS · Sep 14, 2016

Well......I think I'm going to return my 4k TV that came today and just have a very nice 1080p image.......time to find a budget 1080p TV with roku built in for PSVue.

xRaizen · Sep 14, 2016

Not a good look

marrec · Sep 14, 2016

Yikes.

Give War A Chance · Sep 14, 2016

Also, are there regular PS4/Xbox One shots to compare with these?

I don't understand the comparison between PC and PS4Pro. Of course the PC looks better. I think people are way more concerned about what the difference between the consoles are?

Maybe I'm wrong though.

Dang. I can see that difference on my phone...

icecold1983 · Sep 14, 2016

the ps4 version is much more temporally stable despite having half the number of pixels. i think i actually prefer it over the pc version. the shimmering in the pc version is egregious. makes a much bigger difference to the end visual result in motion IMO

PBY · Sep 14, 2016

that looks awful relative to the PC shot

I know the pro isn't chasing the PC market necessarily, but this is a year old game

And this is why you don't try to reach some high resolution on consoles.

dugdug · Sep 14, 2016

This will definitely stop people from getting PCs.

Noobcraft · Sep 14, 2016

Not a great look tbh. How does the 1080P mode look?

Was about to post the same lol

ghibli99 · Sep 14, 2016

Interesting, since DF said last week that ROTTR was one of the most impressive-looking games on the PS4 Pro at the event. Maybe it's just less so when stacked right up next to a native 4K PC image (which realistically and understandably, it's never going to be able to match).

Guymelef · Sep 14, 2016

Should be added to the op:

How does Rise of the Tomb Raider on PlayStation 4 Pro in 4K mode compare to the PC version

Sony says PC, not the Xbox, pushed it to create Ps4 Pro

Synless · Sep 14, 2016

That's why I would never play it higher then the 1080p mode with higher quality assets.

I cant watch the vid at the moment. is their 30 fps 1080p option going to be using better textures?

I doubt its the RAM.

Now i wonder what will happen to RE7, the PR implied the game was going to run at 4K...
A waste of resources imo

GHG · Sep 14, 2016

This race for 4K on consoles is too soon.

At least get most things to 60fps 1080p with AA before moving on.

Chamber · Sep 14, 2016

I'm completely shocked it doesn't look like PC Ultra at 4K.

gofreak · Sep 14, 2016

I think to more directly compare the resolution quality, it would have made sense to also offer a comparison that was 'settings matched' outside of res, as far as possible.

I wonder if CD will evaluate the supposedly better upscale techniques mentioned in the article. Although whether they're actually better may depend on the title.

marrec · Sep 14, 2016

I think the biggest "yuck" is the missing lighting during some scenes, makes everything look far more dull.

That and it looks like they smeared virtual vaseline on the virtual camera lense.

Omnistalgic · Sep 14, 2016

PC definitely looks much better...

But Pro looks worse than it should...

I'm not playing on anything higher than 1080p for a while though.

Harlock · Sep 14, 2016

Love the Youtube comments are all over 1080/60fps better than 4k BS.

Is the same thing with Uncharted. If Sony had focused in 60fps, for games, in the PS4 Pro, leaving the 4K for videos, your new hardware would have a much better logic and marketing.

agreed. 1080 @ 60 is way more important.

Kenzodielocke · Sep 14, 2016

This thread will be about the comparisons rather than what's been said.

You get, at 4k that is, what you're paying for. At least there is an option at 1080p which will probably look better when it comes to assets and effects.
60fps dicsussion for consoles is getting old. If you want 60fps, go PC. Devs prioritize graphics over fps.

But Pro is creeping up...

That's what you call lagging behind, not creeping up.

sammyCYBORG · Sep 14, 2016

Nobody should be surprised by this. A £400 console cannot do 4K gaming at all, definitely not 4K gaming at the quality of a good PC. An upscaled image just can't compare.

A PS4 Pro will look better than the standard PS4 in most instances, that is the only thing to expect.

Indeed super solid 30fps and 1080p is still a struggle for current consoles. Trying to jump to 4K seems like too much right now.

"Upscales look fine"

Sony says this is supposed to compete with PC.

KingSnake · Sep 14, 2016

I guess that revolutionary "uprendering" and optimized 4k can only do so much.

GHG said:

Yea I edited...watched it all the way through and it's a pretty stark difference.

PC looks amazing

Frostman · Sep 14, 2016

I still don't understand the point in comparing very high to console settings. Match console settings on PC, and then compare 4K native to 4K on PS Pro.

If we are going to compare very high to anything, wait and compare the 1080p 30FPS mode from the Pro to see the differences then. If as CD have said it is running with all the bells and whistles, it would be a much closer comparison.

BruceCLea · Sep 14, 2016

Wow at the hyperbole in this thread. It looks great for a $400 piece of hardware.
