So PS4 Pro will make games look better even on 1080p screens, but..

If there aren't any such footage, then why? Is Sony afraid we might not be able to tell the difference? The Pro will be released in a week. Would be nice if we could see if there was a reason to buy it, if one only has a 1080p TV.

Will be a case by case basis. Some games offer modes specifically tailored to 1080p, others do not. For games that simply "improve image quality" it's basically equivelent to really nice AA. Other games feature better lighting, reflections and more ground decoration which will be noticeable on 1080p displays.

Your best bet is to look at games you are interested in and see what enhancements pro actually gives. If it's a game that just recieves a resolution bump then you have to ask yourself if smoother edges or possibly going from sub-1080p to 1080p is worth it for you.

But why haven't we seen any of that?

Lol.... in a week EVERYONE will know what those differences are.

And the last thing Sony themselves will be doing is taking comparisons of 1080p content of PS4pro vs PS4.

That's a literal fuck you to everyone that is out buying a PS4 right now. Keeping their press footage only to 4k enhancements keeps their messaging focused. PS4pro is for 4k gaming. PS4 is still great for 1080p.

So Sony knows the PS4 Pro is kind of a fuck you to those who bought or are about to buy an original PS4, but if those people only realize after the launch of the Pro, then it's okay? That's kind of shady.
