So what are we missing then? What do you want tested?
I would appreciate a broad look at the technical prowess of some of the Tiger Electronic games especially the Castlevania series. I feel like you guys have been really lacking in that regard.
So what are we missing then? What do you want tested?
DF is getting to be really annoying. Personally their shit about resolution and frame rate testing is ruining gaming for me. It's like we can't just enjoy a game without worry about what framedrops happen where or what dynamic resolution a game is using.
And people are into it so much to dick wave which version of a game is better. It's getting old.
DF retro is the only thing they have that interests me anymore.

Agreed. All you have to do is look at a video like the one about Knack from Push Square for biased commentary on what should be an objective video about what a Pro patch brings to the table.Dick waving? Are you serious? The DF analysis is objective and honest. Where is the problem, I couldn't be happier with their product.

Well, I do appreciate the Retro support since that's my baby. ;-)I was referring to fanboys, not DF itself.
That is the perfect line to describe many of the comments we get.i will know it is biased if it does not agree with my platform preference so get it right
DF allow consumers to make more informed decisions on their purchases, which is great. They're doing a service for gamers. If you don't like the buzz around the articles then just tune out the comments and the threads and focus on the articles.DF is getting to be really annoying.

DF's articles have directly lead to significant fixes and improvements that everyone benefits from. There's no way you can construe that to be a bad thing.
Does performance tank in Geothermal Valley like it does on PC? What a fucking disaster that area is. It's not even that impressive. One of the least impressive looking parts of the game.

Great job. Now FIX FFXV!!!

If only the Xbox version got that much attention. Crystal Dynamics didn't give a shit.
it's really a shame. the Xbox One version is the most neglected of the bunch. even the 360 version is objectively superior
Nixxes did the 360 version as well.

Nixxes is amazing. There is also a 300mb day one patch (according to a player on TR forums) that improves the visuals even further compared to the leaked videos. Sorry about the black crush in the screens but these give an idea.
(missing sun effect)
(missing plants)
(missing plant shadows)
(missing wet efect and shadows)
So, have they fixed the XB1 version as well?
The thing is, top developers work around and overcome those limitations. You can see this with the sheer number of nice looking, 60fps titles on Wii U or games like DOOM. Those are crafted experiences that take great advantage of consoles and PC alike to deliver great experiences. When a console game releases with serious issues it's not the console that should take the brunt of the criticism - it's the development efforts themselves.I'll give you credit where it's due as you make a good point. However, I think most gamers have made up their mind long prior to DF videos and it then your point only really applies to those who own both consoles.
I still stand by my statement that it directly ignites a lot of fanyboyism and I'm sort of sick of hearing about technically shortcomings of consoles. We know they will always have them compared to PC. All it leads to is arguing and complaining that developers are inept at doing their jobs which is hyperbole to the extreme.
So it's official the pro is able to do miracles when devs
know how to use it?
pro- has been out for less than a month,
I'm expecting good things to come
Yep, funny enough the 360 verison had a day 1 patch which actually improved the quality of the visuals, added more foliage, better lighting effects and water effects (eg Lara's clothing getting wet upto just her waist if she's in just waist high water) at absolutely no cost to performance. This is an older post which highlights some differences, I'm not sure whether the pics still load (I'm at work and most pictures don't work for me anyway, so copying here just in case anyone's interested).
Nixxess are absolute masters of taking code from Crystal Dynamics, Eidos etc and refining the shit out of it.
Would be interesting to see more VR coverage(including head to heads with all the cross porting/multiple configurations), although I guess everything from capturing that isn't based on social-screens(those aren't representative on any hardware), to framerate measurements to pixel-counting doesn't work with existing methods on VR.dark10x said:So what are we missing then?

I hope you realize that's because it's a new console .. expect the exact same when Switch comes out or later still when Scorpio comes out. This is even more unique than Switch because aside from just 'new hardware new games' here we're seeing older games being revamped to match the new hardware which warrants a look.
Let's see if you still have the same reservations next year.
So boring though.
Shadowfall was just a rushed tech demo showcase forthe PS4's launch the game is bad.
But yeah for a day 1 PS4 launch title it's impressive
Well I was planning on getting Scorpio but ever since MS turned around and said they will be releasing games on Xbox and Windows 10 I was just going to buy a new GPU to replace my 980 Ti.
So which mode is best on a 1080p display? Super sampled 4K or High Details?
I wouldn't call fixing framepacing a miracle.

No more frame pacing and acceptable lag, at least much better than XB1. And to think we had people in the original patch topic claiming how it was so much worse than ever now ...
The GAF hyperbole machine never ceases to amaze.
GTA V would be awesome.God I love my Pro.
Just a few more games I'd love to see Patched.
BF4
Battlefront
R6S
Nathan Drake Collection
Dying Light Enhanced Edition
Shadow Fall
Love how slim the patch is. Always glad to have them not take up a huge chunk of drive space.
So funny that the game is so much better on PS4 Pro being that it was a bought exclusive

FWIW patches that don't add new assets don't usually add to the file size of a game, they replace existing data
