WOW!
at 1:34 the comparisons are stark, just look at Nate, somebody needs to do a closeup GIF

good job on the video

darthv722818d ago (Edited 2818d ago )

UC4 was already a sweet looking game and the notion of them releasing a 4k / HDR update is quite intriguing. And now I found this video that I did not think this possible. Using an XB1S as a pass thru upscaler you can take an existing PS4 and play UC4 in 4k upscaled.

So now there are three ways to enjoy UC4. original PS4, the Pro and a middle ground using the regular PS4 and an XB1S. Talk about finding a happy medium in all this confusion.

Lightning Mr Bubbles2818d ago

You can clearly see a difference, the PS4 Pro version looks a lot cleaner and crisper. It's pretty visible, not sure what people were expecting exactly, did they expect PS4 Pro to be the PS5 or something?

Sparta072818d ago

@ darth, what on earth does that have to do with anything?
1) update for original ps4 comes out tomorrow
2) 4k tvs does the upscale already why are bringing up xbs for?
Stop it already.

CuddlyREDRUM2818d ago

@sparta... yeah TV's and Xbox One S upscale to 4K, just like the footage of everything the Pro has shown. There have been zero footage of native 4K games running on Pro.

woa there, that is crazy, that just made me feel like my PS4 is a PS3 in comparison I can't wait for Nov. 10th actually October 13th (PSVR), but hey both dates are welcomed even better that the VR comes out before the PS4 Pro because then I will be able to see changes from PS4 and PSVR when I upgrade to see if it was worth it anyways... that 1:34 comparison shows you the contrast in the difference, and this was on my Macbook Pro so I'm sure on my 4kTvs it will look even better lOl.

donthate2818d ago

lmao!

That is a terrible video. Can't see any difference. This is doing the PS4 Pro a disservice, because you are now setting the expectation very low. Buyers might just skip it.

Sparta072818d ago

Lol, are you really trying to down play this now?
It's looks incredible. I'm very impressed.

Bahamut2818d ago

Not even using a 4k display and I can see a definite difference in image clarity and texture quality.

There is a difference but we need to see it in a HDR 4kTV to see the REAL difference

Erik73572818d ago (Edited 2818d ago )

How would getting a 4k tv be seeing the real difference when its not native 4k and just upscaled? THis comment is stupid to me and I am confused why it had 11 agrees and so few disagrees.

Literally all this did was got rid of the annoying over powering motion blur which is why the pictures look so blurry for orginal ps4.

medman2818d ago

@fries1223
Your eyes can't tell the difference between checkerboard rendering and 4k. Some people could, but you? Naw.

Rimeskeem2818d ago

Calls a comment stupid then proceeds to make stupid comment.

The upscaling is checkerboard processed making it nearly impossible to see the difference between native and upscaled.

badz1492818d ago

wow you're so uninformed. just because it's upscaled doesn't mean you don't need a 4K display. are you telling me you've been gaming on native 900p on Xbones for all these times? I don't think so because native or not, the Xbone will still send 1080p signals just like how the Pro will send 4K signals which can only be watched on UHDTV. and if you only have FHD, the Pro will only send 1080p obviously.

there will be visible difference in image quality between the stock PS4 and the Pro on UHDTV. that's guaranteed.

blackblades2818d ago

Anyone know how to say dumbazz in english oh wait here it is dumbass.

zeuanimals2818d ago (Edited 2818d ago )

@Badz:

The Xbox One didn't upscale most of the 720p and 900p games the same way the PS4 Pro is up scaling its games. Those Xbox One games were 720p/900p images stretched onto 1080p screens. If those games weren't stretched onto the screen, they'd be letterboxed with giant borders on all sides. The PS4 Pro is taking 1080p images and scaling them up to fit the 4K profile, but it's not stretching them. Without the checkerboarding, you'd see blank lines across the screen, like a checkerboard. The console takes what's natively being shown and adds what it thinks is missing by filling in the blank lines.

If devs utilize this on other devices, including PCs, we might not need to render any games in native 4K until 8K becomes available. This means devs have a lot more power to work with that won't be used up by just rendering things in 4K, and even the best PCs have problems with 4K.

Erik73572818d ago

No im not, get a 4k tv. Play pc 4k footage of a game and compare it to the pro upscalig. It is noticably better than pro upscaling. In my comment i said its not native 4k nor does it look like 4k with its upscaling when compared to native 4k.

Get a pc when you actually want real 4k gaming.

Sparta072818d ago

@fries, thanks for the laugh

badz1492818d ago

@Fries

"Get a pc when you actually want real 4k gaming."

you do know this is an article about a PS4 EXCLUSIVE UNCHARTED 4, right?

that's what happen when you listen to MS too much as they are trying to change the definitions of the term "exclusive" as they see fit! Nowadays, even "Windows 10 Exclusives" claims barely hold any water anymore. previous Windows 10 exclusives went to Steam and now are no longer Win10 exclusives

Bahamut2818d ago (Edited 2818d ago )

I don't see why they wouldn't include a feature like that for people not using a 4k display. All of the other Uncharteds are available on the PS4 at 60fps, as well as The Last of Us, so it'll probably happen.

wsoutlaw872818d ago

did you really have a problem with uc4s frame rate or do people like you just like to say that, knowing you dont care that much

sadsatan2817d ago

i wanted to love UC4 but i had two problems, the framerate was too sluggish for my taste, and i found the game boring. i bought the digital version so no refund for me. boo

jwillj2k42818d ago (Edited 2818d ago )

still not impressed. there is a difference but not enough to purchase a new console.

i want to see the comparison between OG ps4 upscaled with hdr and ps4 pro.

ccgr2818d ago

I'm still on the fence as well

jwillj2k42818d ago

LMFAO at disagrees about being on the fence. Stop drinking the koolaid people and look at things objectively.

Speak_da_Truth2818d ago

Oh so you computer screen has hdr and you've seen it in 4k hdr uncompressed. Ok.

jwillj2k42818d ago (Edited 2818d ago )

LOL 4k hdr uncompressed. the video quality is in 4k and it shows differences, just not 400 dollar differences imo. even the current nvidia cards struggle with native 4k gaming. PS pro will be upscaled, just like the scorpio.

I just want to see the difference between an original ps4 with hdr (as they promised) in addition to a 4k upscaler, vs ps pro (upscaled) 4k image.

medman2818d ago

Exactly. The geniuses are sitting in front of a 1080p screen. Watching a stream. And expect miracles on top of miracles. No wonder so many ad and sales executives end up blowing their brains out. They have to try to sell to complete morons.

Sharky2312818d ago

If you read the bottom these images aren't even HDR, they're SDR.

Rimeskeem2818d ago

So basically this isn't even close to how beautiful the game will look in full HDR.

donthate2818d ago

In order to see HDR you have to have a 4K tv that supports that. Not something you can typically see on your home TV/monitor i.e. it has very limited benefit. If you have HDR though, it looks marvelous.

jwillj2k42818d ago

I'm not saying it doesn't look better. it just doesn't look 400 dollars better. Plus the fact that we can do the exact same thing with our current ps4s (on paper) I'm eager to compare the two. Everyone talking about HDR, but my question is still valid. And yes I do have a 4K tv.

Speak_da_Truth2818d ago

First of all no one is forcing you to buy the Pro and second, you should wait and actually see it in motion on a 4k hdr supported display before you claim "There isn't a $400 difference"

jwillj2k42818d ago

Sorry, there's not. Don't waste your money, go buy an upscaler.

Bahamut2818d ago

4k if you have the capable display, higher framerate if you don't. Also, faster cpu, which means faster load times. It's really up to you. Do you want a performance buff or not? If you're happy with what you got, don't change anything. I'll be getting this though because I want my games to look and play better. Which is the same reason I own a PC, and will probably own a Scorpio in the future. Oh... and the NX for Zelda too.

jwillj2k42817d ago

It'll be the framerate difference that wins me over but I'll probably wait til there are more games that show the difference.

wsoutlaw872818d ago

Its a system with 2.3x more tflop gpu. Yes there are differences. how much they matter is up to you. the price difference between the two isnt 400$ its 100$

jwillj2k42817d ago

When I go to the store I'd be dropping 400 dollars, not 100. So to me it's got to be worth 400 more dollars to justify switching.

wsoutlaw872817d ago

your old ps4 still has value

Sony Says The PS5 Is Its “Most Profitable Generation To-Date"

During Sony’s recent business segment meeting and investor presentation regarding its game and network services, the PlayStation company revealed that PlayStation 5 is the company’s “most profitable generation to-date.”

It’s the top slide of the presentation, showing that in its first four years, the PS5 generation has already hit $106 billion in sales, having almost caught up to the PS4’s total $107 billion generated.

Operating income for the PS5 generation has also already surpassed that of the PS4, having now reached $10 billion.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I wouldn't doubt it. They released a high quality system. A lot of high quality games from themselves and their support of 3rd party developers and indies. They released many high quality remakes and remasters. They released a high quality GaaS game going against the naysayers thinking Sony would abandon single player games. And they most likely are profiting a lot more than PS1, PS2 PS4 and the loss leading PS3 that drained all their profits.

Now, I'll wait to see what's cooking tomorrow. But can you use some of those profits to better support your high quality VR headset? Because, by supporting it, you can sell more games and more systems and make more profits?

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I want RPGs for PSVR2! Good ones of course

shinoff21832d ago

If it had some rpgs I would buy right fking now. It looks dope and alot of fun, but it's biggest game resident evil 4(maybe) I've got no interest in. I'm not a fan of racing games, even with that metro game coming i was never much into that series. Rpgs would be fantastic.

MrNinosan2d ago

Lemme know if ya wanna play some Zenith 🙌
Bought it at release, but haven't played it more than 1-2 hours but for sure on my "todo list".

Cacabunga2d ago

Normal when they released mostly cross gen games so far. That’s a lot of money saved..
We haven’t seen what PS5 can do yet. 4years in and PS4 games still look great to me. The gen leap isn’t quite there yet.

--Onilink--2d ago

The interesting metric for me is the $106billion in operating income/profit (not sales as mentioned in the article) reaching the same as the PS4 did with only half the consoles sold.

In particular because they all are supposed to be making the most per hardware sold after a few years when manufacturing costs are down.

So even putting inflation aside(and the higher console price), it is interesting that they could reach PS4 $ with just half the consoles sold.

Maybe there is more to the metric thats whats seen at face value, but they have clearly been making a lot more money than before on the software side (with also less games released I suppose, given its only been half the generation so far)

VersusDMC2d ago

The bulk of the money has to be coming from the 30% cut on all games and microtransactions. Especially on all the free to play juggernauts like genshin, apex, fortnight, etc.

--Onilink--2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

@Versus

They are definitely making a lot on that for sure (which the $70 price increase factors into as well), but its not like many of those games werent around for the PS4 too.

They might be counting the gen as a whole and not just PS5 itself (so extra profit from PC sales, whatever that may be)

PS+ price increase and different tiers probably amount to part of that too.

But in general, its still quite a surprising metric. Half the time, half the consoles sold, less first party games released so far and still already making more of a profit than last gen is quite something, and as mentioned, there is probably more to it that we dont know, after all, since we are talking about operating income, all the expenses they have also factor into it, so it is also possible that they have found ways to significantly reduce that + all the means of increased revenue that appear to be factoring into the equation

All in all, just an interesting situation from a business perspective

porkChop1d 23h ago

It's for the whole generation, so it would likely be including PC. They also make much more profit on digital sales vs retail, and digital is far more prominent these days. The generation also started at the height of COVID when everyone was home, spending far more money on gaming/hobbies. It makes a lot of sense for this gen to be more profitable.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

This will surely shut up all the new trolling accounts trying to spread lies and non facts in other articles comment sections before this article is posted.

Hofstaderman2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Obscurely, those trolls or troll will not show in these articles as the truth is contradictory to his or their orchard-sized daily dose of copium and hopium.

Tacoboto2d ago

Or... They're intentionally trolling you guys specifically. Because they know it upsets you so easily.

Name-dropping Orchard, after this many months? How long has it been and he's still in your thoughts?

Elda2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I'm quite sure the individual is reading these positive comments downvoting & seething at the same time. Edit: It just downvoted my comment...lol!!

Hofstaderman2d ago

No I'm entertained by this individual. I love unhinged people, they are so interesting lol.

repsahj2d ago

Wow! I am super impressed that in just 4 years, ps5 already caught up to the PS4's. Congratulations.

JackBNimble1d 10h ago

That happens when half of your games are cross platform. I'm still waiting to see what the ps5 is capable of, because they sure haven't pushed any limits.

And where are all these ps5 exclusive games?

sagapo2d ago

Not really surprised as Sony barely has any competition at the moment.
