So it seems as more people are getting their hands on the Pro, there's a few titles that are clearly bugged or not working as intended.

Keep in mind that these *may* be isolated to certain people and not universal, but indicators are that at least some of them are affecting multiple systems. If anyone comes across something i've missed, please send me a direct message or post in the thread and I'll add it to the OP. Hopefully everything in here is quickly patched or resolved.

Affected Games

World of Final Fantasy

Issue:

Grainy/pixelated graphics, low res?

Standard PS4:

PS4 Pro:

For a little more visibility - World of Final Fantasy is messed up at 1080p on Pro -

Yep - this looks like dogshit on Pro at the moment. My first pro disappointment. I spotted it straight away. Loads of aliasing and the depth of field and blur in some scenes is way off.

I fired it up on my old system to check and yep - it was fine there on the same 1080p TV. Maybe it looks okay on a 4K screen?

Anyway I came with screenshots from both systems -

Standard PS4 with 1.01 patch -

PS4 Pro with 1.01 patch - Screenshots set to 1080p to match standard - I have 4K screenies too - they look like crap too!

The aliasing at high contrast edges looks real bad and Tama is almost blurred out of existence. Please fix for the love of god Square Enix.

I found the reason for the bug that caused the glitched water textures in TLOU (at least for me).

Requirement for the bug to happen:
Loading the level in 60 FPS mode and switching straight to 30 FPS as soon as you are ingame.

Workaround: If you activate the 30 FPS before you are loading the level everything will be fine. You are also able to switch between 30 FPS and 60 FPS after that while ingame.

Hitman

Issue: Softer/lower res image?
Edit: Hitman on PS4Pro appears to have better IQ overall in terms of fidelity/textures, but slightly softer perhaps due to a different AA technique used. May not be a bug.

PS4 Standard:

PS4 Pro:

I played through a couple of levels of Hitman and that softness I believe might be the form of AA they use or maybe some post processing. I can't be sure as I didn't play for more then 5 minutes but it's a softer but overall cleaner image.

godhandiscen · Nov 10, 2016

This is pretty much the kind of issues PC developers deal with often when developing the same game for multiple configurations of the same hardware.

Hopefully, the APIs on both consoles adopting this mode, Pro and Scorpio, are streamlined enough so that these don't occur often.

InternHertz · Nov 10, 2016

I have the graphics problem with World of Final Fantasy on my Pro.
I hope we get the supersampling option fast.

dugdug · Nov 10, 2016

Did WoFF and Hitman both have Pro specific patches? I'd be pretty pissed if I had a PS4 Pro and saw this.

Karspankey · Nov 10, 2016

I think Hitman looks better :V

ronaldthump · Nov 10, 2016

has Hitman been patched? lol. its like a vaseline filter/AA solution

huh1678 · Nov 10, 2016

square-enix pls i need a proper WoFF patch.

Primethius · Nov 10, 2016

Hitman has been patched. Ill post some pics in a bit.

Vol5 · Nov 10, 2016

To be fair to the hitman shots, it's zoomed in something crazy. Definitely a problem with FF. That game could look great if the downscale was applied correctly.

Digital-Hero · Nov 10, 2016

Shinobi's answer may be non-Pro related. Last of Us had issues including characters would just disappear.

PuppetMaster · Nov 10, 2016

Hitman looks amazing on my screen. That shot is a bad comparison. Its weridly zoomed in.

In some cases the DoF effect seems stronger on the pro though. Like after pulling out a gun. I didnt notice DoF much on OG ps4 but I notice it now.

-shadow- · Nov 10, 2016

Hitman seems like it's compressed if anything. But strange never the less.

Primethius · Nov 11, 2016

Here's Hitman on Pro at 1080p:

I feel like the pictures are slightly deceptive but the game does have a softer look to it compared to OG PS4. However, it is much cleaner then OG PS4 Hitman as well. So they did something with the AA or post-processing to make it this way.

And the patch is out because menu's are working at normal speed instead of being laggy to pull up like they are on the OG PS4 (and it runs better in unlocked mode I feel).

winstano · Nov 11, 2016

They're the captures from the opening of Paris that the image above came from. It's weird, it looks a lot softer in a bunch of places, but some of the textures look better (Sanguine ICE logo etc)

One thing is that the higher res textures take an *AGE* to load, both on Pro and regular

Caayn · Nov 11, 2016

I noticed this with Knack in high resolution mode.

bananafactory · Nov 11, 2016

Thanks guys, I've edited the Hitman section

Is it gone in standard mode?

Does colour banding in HDR games due to Sony messing up HDR 10 support count in this thread??

Community Forum · Nov 11, 2016

World of Final Fantasy will have to be re-patched, right?

Right?

Did you make sure to pick YUV 420 and not RGB?

Super Stardust · Nov 11, 2016

Can someone please test the witcher 3

VE3TRO · Nov 11, 2016

Thats some weird stuff going on with HITMAN, don't know if I like the smoother look. I was just running that level on XB1 so took the same snaps to compare. Is it running RGB or YUV Pro because they look dark. Don't have my Pro yet so don't know what video settings it offers.

There is no pro mode for Witcher 3, it will run in base ps4 mode

These glitches are only for games that have specifically been altered for pro

Right?

It will get a PS4 Pro patch, so that should be safe to assume.

MaKTaiL · Nov 11, 2016

Can you guys try locking the framerate on HITMAN to see if the image quality gets better? Maybe they are using dynamic resolution just like The Last of Us depending on which mode you want to play in (locked or unlocked framerate).

_woLf · Nov 11, 2016

Welp, cancelling my plans to buy a PS4 Pro for now.

SlickShoes · Nov 11, 2016

"some games" 2 games, one of them people can't decide if it's even an issue yet or if they just don't "like" the way it now looks.

Where did you read that? Coming in the near future?
That would be sweet...
I could wait to pick it up again then.

BRocknRolla · Nov 11, 2016

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there's nothing wrong with the Hitman one. I'll grant you that there is a softness that isn't wholly present in the original, but as stated, that's likely just a different AA at work. The jump in IQ is so obvious.

That's an interesting one for The Last of Us. Sounds like the different rending modes aren't properly loading if you switch them in the middle of a level. Sounds like the sort of thing that would be pretty easy to miss in QA. Sounds patchable at least.

No idea about the FF thing though.

vpance · Nov 11, 2016

Don't like the softness in Hitman. Also some textures are definitely screwed up because it's hard to read the text on some signs now.

MaKTaiL · Nov 11, 2016

I made some comparison screenshots with the images provided by one of the users on the OT. Standard PS4 is definitely sharper. Black level seems to be washed out on Pro as well, but maybe he was not using Full RGB setting as I am. Here they are:

basefree · Nov 13, 2016

What annoys me the most is that we can't opt to just turn pro mode off and have it run exactly the same as standard PS4 if we choose. Nope, issues be damned, we've gotta run it the way the devs "intended" it to.

DOWN · Nov 14, 2016

Hitman is pretty wtf

Is the dev aware?

Kelegacy · Dec 3, 2016

Playing on a pro and man, this game is washed out. Or brighness/gamma is too high cant seem to get it right. Looks horrendous as a result.

Edit: i had to adjust the tvs black level to crush the blacks and then increases the gamma in game. Weird. But the game menus are still crushed but the game itself when unpaused looks okay now. I will have to switch the tv settings when i play any other game though. Not sure wth is wrong
