Hellblade To Run at 1440P on PS4 Pro; 4K@60 on PC To Require an "Absolute Beast", Says Ninja Theory

Ninja Theory confirmed that Hellblade will run at 1440P on PS4 Pro when selecting enhanced resolution. Playing the game at 4K@60FPS apparently requires a "beast" of a PC.

HDR won't be in at launch but could be added later.

If that's true then I guess 1440P on PS4 Pro isn't that bad for the system.

KaiPow2496d ago

I'm more excited for the 60FPS frame rate.

thekhurg2496d ago

60fps > minor resolution changes

XbladeTeddy2496d ago

Yeah, makes the world of difference. Playing Nioh@60 on the Pro makes it that much better. Thank you Ninja Theory, my Pro investment is paying off.

@The Infected:

"A few days ago, Ninja Theory revealed in a press release that Hellblade would allow PlayStation 4 Pro users to choose between an enhanced resolution and 60FPS frame rate. However, they didn’t provide specifics on the resolution at the time."

... you posted on the original thread.

MoonConquistador2495d ago

Lol@Fishy fingers - absolutely priceless, I burst out laughing on the train home

Tear1112495d ago

Maybe a lot of people will disagree with me , but some time I think 30 FPS is better only for the cinematic games such as Uncharted and The order in other hand 60 FPS is better for the games witch focus on action and shooter like Doom and Cod .. and other.

But still the PC have the advance ( for those who have powerful PC )

morganfell2495d ago

"... you posted on the original thread."

And people wonder why we are suspicious of their motivations...

XbladeTeddy2495d ago

@Fishy Fingers: haha. WTF though, that's just weird.

The PS4 Pro is an overclock OG PS4. For $400.00 plus tax for something that PC gamers do for free that is a rip off.

Eonjay2496d ago

No its not. It features twice the number of compute units on the actual die all running at a higher clock. In reality. The 2.3x TFlops increase cannot practically be achieved through overclocking alone. If you overclocked the GPU in the OG GPU that much, it would burst into an ocean of flames... fortunately, the power supply would give out first maybe sparing your life.

ger23962495d ago

Technically it's not free, you still have to buy the pc.

Eonjay2495d ago

You went from 2 agrees to about 45 in about 10 minutes. What is up with these phantom agrees and disagrees. I know they aren't real so it comes off as manic.

xX-oldboy-Xx2495d ago

Nice try mate - come to Australia and build a PC for $400 and see how far you get. The Pro is a fantastic machine, you should try it - you might like it.

@agent4532

"For $400.00 plus tax for something that PC gamers do for free that is a rip off"

FREE? how? you do know that the GPU used in the Pros is not the same as the GPU in the original PS4, right? the Pro uses a whole new GPU with a slightly overclocked CPU. so, could you please tell us again how do you change your GPU on your PC for FREE?

BrettAwesome2495d ago

Agent 4532 - you're so stupid it hurts. OG ps4 is 1.8 tflops. Pro is 4.2. It has a dual gpu architechture.

S2Killinit2495d ago

@agent
That is incorrect. Factually incorrect.

The disagrees might be from Xbox fanboys because it's definitely not PC fans 😁

@MegamanXXX

Lol. That´s gold. Simple ask how many PS4 owners will go PC with Hellblade. I´ll wait. ;)

lelo2play2495d ago

PS4 Pro is a rip off. Simple as that.

Waiting for the PS5 (probably next year or 2019).

Hope my PC can handle it!

MegamanXXX2496d ago

Just check out the minimum specs in the article

Darkwatchman2495d ago

The minimum requirements state a GPU of a gtx 770. The standard ps4 has something along the lines of a 750ti. If just the MINIMUM requirements are a GPU that on PC outputs over twice the performance in benchmarks, then I can only imagine what the recommended specs are and what you would need to run 4K at 60fps

Jinger2496d ago

Game looks fantastic visually! However, some of the animations look a little janky in some gameplay video's. That being said I'm looking forward to picking this up!

--bienio--2496d ago

Post parch going to fixed that

Gaming4Life19812495d ago

The graphics look a great but the gameplay looks really bad from what I've seen. At 30 bucks I'm willing to give it a try though, 15 if i gameshare with a friend.

bluefox7552496d ago

Beautiful game, both artistically and technically. I appreciate the unique direction as well. Really looking forward to it.

Lon3wolf2496d ago

Would that be 60fps @ 1440p? If so impressive for the price of the hardware.

PrinterMan2496d ago

Sorry but no. 1080 @ 60fps and 1440p @ 30fps. I was trying to decide on PC or PS4 pro and decided on PC but now maybe the Pro version would have been a good choice too. 1440p and 30fps for a game of this type would be awesome I think.

cbuc11252496d ago (Edited 2496d ago )

1080p/60, 1440p/30 maybe?

Obscure_Observer2495d ago (Edited 2495d ago )

@cbuc1125

More likely:
1080p with dynamic resolution and unlocked 60fps
720p locked 60fps

Kingthrash3602495d ago

@ obscure
For base ps4??
Otherwise you are trolling.

Razzer2495d ago

Obscure, stop making shit up

Obscure_Observer2495d ago (Edited 2495d ago )

@Kingthrash360

"For base ps4??

Trolling? Wish i am. Do you have any idea what you´re talking about here, man?

Have you ever heard of NiOh? Nioh feat the "Action" mode a 60fps mode which the base resolution is 1080p on Pro. This resolution goes all the way down to 720p on the PS4 Pro on rare more demanding scenes in order to maintain 60fps which is not locked! Now, bare in mind that in the "Movie" mode which prioritize resolution. The base resolution is dynamic 4K (2160p) 30fps which goes all way down 1296p in order to maintain 30fps on more demanding parts of the game.

Now, Hellblade´s base resolution and framerate is 1440p (78% boost over 1080p) 30fps on PS4 Pro. That said, i gotta ask: How much do you think it´s gonna take to Ninja Theory achieve LOCKED 60fps on Pro?

So no, i´m not trolling! Ninja Theory probably will go down with dynamic 1080p unlocked 60fps. They also can go with 900p or in a last case scenario 720p to achieve LOCKED 60fps!

I´m telling you now, in no way Ninja Theory will achieve native 1080p and LOCKED 60fps on Pro. Mark my Words!

TheHorseTamer2495d ago (Edited 2495d ago )

I thought it is1440p and 60fps on the PS4 Pro? Wow, that is disappointing if it is just tje standard 1080p in order to get 60fps.

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff218323h ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan9h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin7h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_6h ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

Cacabunga4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Co CEO prefers gamers to boycott.. so be it. I’ll never buy a gaas.
Just imagine buying a game you cannot replay in some years.. this shit must stop.

Days Gone did zombies in a very original way. The story was also so engaging. You actually only meet Zombie hordes later in the game. There are many more enemy groups to deal with.

MrNinosan3h ago

@Notelin
I am one of the few who bought Days Gone on release day and loved it completely.
However, "more online trash" is phrased like Sony has put out alot of trash online games.
We got what, 2 games? Helldivers 2 and GT7, 2 of the most sold Playstation games where both is loved by millions.

You, me and especially shinoff has no idea if Fairgames, Marathon and Concord will be trash.

Just because we (as in you and me) don't love or support online games, doesn't mean millions of other do.

And we don't know what Bend Studio is working with? We don't know if they're forced to make a online game or another amazing single player experience.

The only thing we do know is that it's not Days Gone, sadly due to poor sales the first 6 months.

shinoff21831h ago(Edited 1h ago)

More online trash wasmt meant how insee it comes across. I should've worded it different I was meaning the focus they currently have on it.

Anything online is online trash to me. How long did naughty dog spend on that dumba last of us multiplayer, how about Concord, or even the other couple we hear about. I fk with Sony because rpgs and their 1st party single player games. Been like that for years. I hate seeing them waste time, money, and talent on trash. I understand bot every game is gonna be for me but this focus they've seem to had on multiplayer is extremely disheartening. Even at the state of play the only things I was really feeling were Astrobot and silent hill 2 and I'm content with that, not everything is for me. It's just the online focus I hate. Ms bought up 3 to 4 wrpgs developers, Sony just ignores rpgs 1st party wise.

And a days gone 2 would've been much better then whatever online sht bend is working on. I do know sometimes I get very idk emotional. I do need to work on toning that down a bit lol

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

shinoff21831h ago

I mean it's not out of the realm of possibility at this point.

Grilla8h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5238h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin7h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-646h ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

Cacabunga4h ago

The guy’s just a moron.. he should have stayed within game development. His choices will have a terrible impact on the brand in the long run.

excaliburps9h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla8h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

derek2h ago

@Notellin, of course you'll believe an embittered ex-employee with an axe to grind because it's evil Sony he's complaining about. You guys act like days gone was this huge success and somehow Sony hates easy money a sequel would have generated. The game was mid and so was the response to it. They're still supporting the developer who is making a new ip that could be great.

shinoff21831h ago

Days gone was fantastic. I bought day one but didn't get around to it for months. When I finally did I was pissed at myself for waiting so long lol

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.

-Foxtrot1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

But if it’s true what this guy says it sold better than Death Stranding

Yet that got a sequel and Kojima aside out of them both DS didn’t really NEED a sequel compared to Days Gone which ended on such a cliff hanger twist.
