Yakuza 0 was released in Japan well before the Pro requirement, it was only localized recently. It doesn't have a Pro mode.
LOL@ your death- amazing. Frame rate seems improved but still saw drops frequently?

Yakuza 0 released in Japan before PS4 Pro released. So no Pro patches included

I can't say. Multiple people have tested Yakuza 0, but only one reported this issue. It's early days for now, so this might need to be revisited in the future.

Dear developers,
Don't want to release a Pro Patch? That's cool. Just ensure we can unlock frame rates in your games, please! That or keep it unlocked!

I put the video in the OP, it's weird. I think it runs worse and better at the same time. In the beginning just standing still it looked jumpy as shit but by end the when I was shooting the flamethrower in circles it was a smooth 30fps.
Awesome, is it alright if I edit it a bit, put it in the OP and give you credit for your hard work?
This is the feature that made me go and trade in my normal PS4 for a Pro today*. Hopefully Sony continues to improve this feature across the board
*Truth be told, I was also going to get a 1TB HDD as well, so factoring in the cost of a new HDD, upgrading to the Pro wasn't that far off.
Buying a pspro for this now is a terrible idea, what if this never gets released lol.

There's no way this doesn't get released, Sony will hear backlash like a motherfucker if they take it away after having a taste of the nectar of the gods.

Absolutely fine. If you think it might be helpful, also feel free to link to my Pro enhancement thread so people can tell what games are patched already and won't get advantages from Boost mode.

Awesome, I will update in a while when I sit down in a bit.

Most of the games run capped at half that max so it's fine.

This thread needs tests of WRC6, Virginia, Mekazoo, Samurai Warrior, Sniper Elite 3...
Anyone?I still don't have the beta.
Which Samurai Warriors?

Does this update include a downsample option for 1080p displays?
I'd like to know this as well.

Yeah, this means nothing to me. I need actual comparisons.
My bad, Shadow Warrior.

Added some more to the OP, thank you again Liabe Brave. I'll continue digging through my library of games to test games that are not up here.

I'll get another pro and never update this one again if that's the case.
I can't afford to do that but I would be angry
Nope.
Eh...it's rare and only at night and at the top of the screen for a split second. I do notice when it happens but it's so rare that I don't even care about it. It doesn't happen during gameplay.

It shortly won't matter, I think. I believe they have a true Pro patch on the way.
"Useless"? "Actual" comparisons? Many of the videos are most certainly comparisons in and of themselves, and all of them are useful to compare with previous videos. Is it really the case that something is only real to you if there's a number attached?
I mean, I'm fully in support of measurement, detail, and graphing; I do that sort of thing for a living. But there are times when you really can trust your eyes. There are obviously real, meaningful improvements in some of these games. That will be true even if Digital Foundry never analyzes them.
No. I understand wanting this, but you have to be realistic. A feature to enhance 9 games out of hundreds, only on hardware owned by a handful of PlayStation customers--and of them, only those using 1080p displays--is surely going to be a very low priority task.

My requests are quite obscure:
Borderlands 2 two player splitscreen
Oddworld New n Tasty
Thanks in advance to anyone who can capture these!

Ohh splitscreen is smart. Let's see if it can hold up on splitscreen games.

What about Wasteland 2 and Divinity? I remember Wasteland 2 not being entire smooth.

Both of these have been reported as improved (see my list above), though no video has yet been provided.

It's a minor annoyance in some of the busier areas of town, it's never there in battles or anywhere important though. Just when wandering around and only a couple streets. I wouldn't hold off on the game because of it, though I do wish they'd put out a Pro patch to improve AA and remove tearing.

This. While those videos are nice, unless there is a side by side frame counter on some of them it is hard to tell how much of an improvement it is. No doubt it is an improvement based on feedback, but in a video, a side by side with a frame rate counter is the only way to really see how much of an improvement this is.
The combination of this and having external HDD support is such a great thing for many!!
