tripwires killing floor has become quite
0:11
popular and with killing for to ps4
0:13
owners are finally getting in on the
0:15
action while the game has been available
0:18
in early access for quite some time now
0:20
on the pc side the upcoming playstation
0:22
4 version will be released this November
0:25
it's also one of the first games shown
0:28
and announced with full support for the
0:30
playstation 4 pro which is what you're
0:33
seeing in this video footage here to
0:35
start with killing floor 2 runs on a
0:37
modified unreal engine 3 and is aiming
0:40
for 60 frames per second on both ps4 pro
0:42
and the standard ps4
0:46
tripwire has also confirmed the game is
0:49
rendering it 3200 by 1800 while using
0:53
checkerboard rendering to deliver the
0:55
final 4k image I've seen this
0:57
checkerboard rendering technique in
0:59
person now at egx this year and I was
1:02
generally impressed with the quality it
1:04
really does deliver an effective 4k
1:07
experience you can really see the
1:09
individual pixels line up with the pixel
1:11
grid on a 4k screen and I think that's
1:13
very important here only when sitting
1:16
mere inches from the screen to the
1:18
limitations become evident and only then
1:20
only in motion but even still it does
1:23
look good
1:24
the pro version also makes use of the
1:26
games ultra textures thanks to the extra
1:29
memory available in the system and
1:31
initial impressions also suggest that
1:32
we're looking at a presentation
1:33
comparable with the higher settings
1:35
available on the pc and while it's not a
1:38
particularly stunning-looking game it
1:40
does at least look very crisp and clean
1:42
on the ps4 pro and it's a big step up
1:45
from the standard ps4 running the 1080p
1:52
now when we transition over to the
1:54
performance analysis we do begin to see
1:57
some problems the promised 60
1:59
frames-per-second update isn't really
2:01
happening here and instead we have a
2:03
completely unlocked frame rate that
2:05
averages more around 50 frames per
2:07
second instead and some of the busier
2:10
seems that actually dropped all the way
2:11
down below 40 frames per second while at
2:15
the other end of the spectrum we do see
2:16
occasional pockets of full 60 but it's
2:19
really never very consistent now for
2:22
comparison i've actually played killing
2:24
42 on a standard ps4 as well since it
2:27
was available this year both at e3 and
2:29
then later at VGX and it was actually
2:32
running rather similarly the frame rate
2:35
is still unlocked and generally under 60
2:38
frames-per-second leading to a wildly
2:40
inconsistent experience the stock ps4
2:44
version of course is rendered at a lower
2:45
resolution just as you'd expect
2:47
so you're still getting that big boost
2:49
in visual quality but no real
2:51
improvement to frame rate on the pro so
2:54
with just one month until the game ships
2:56
what can we honestly expect them while
2:59
the game is still in its pre-release
3:01
state we're so close to release at this
3:03
point that it seems likely that this
3:04
might be what we're getting to be honest
3:07
it's a tad disappointing overall and it
3:11
leaves the game and a slightly
3:12
troublesome state without knowing where
3:14
the game is actually bottlenecking it's
3:16
tough to say how things could be
3:17
improved could reducing visual quality
3:20
and key areas or dropping the resolution
3:23
or perhaps implementing a dynamic
3:24
resolution offer enough Headroom to hit
3:27
a proper 60 frames-per-second here and
3:29
if not it would at least be nice to
3:32
offer users the option to cap the frame
3:34
rate at 30 frames per second for those
3:36
of us that value a more consistent
3:38
experience while still allowing players
3:40
to play with them unlocked frame rate if
3:42
they preferred who knows maybe even
3:44
using the 30fps cap would allow them to
3:46
hit native 4k it's not really clear
3:49
either way a wildly unstable framerate
3:52
like this doesn't really leave a great
3:54
first impression but again this is still
3:55
unfinished so things could change by
3:57
launch will certainly
3:59
soon enough when the final game hits and
4:01
we're eager to see how it holds up in
4:03
the end maybe they'll even be able to
4:05
sneak in a high dynamic range mode but
4:08
that's all the video footage we really
4:09
have for now but if you enjoyed this
