Based on what I heard from some playstation channels, the games that do support the pro only offer a boost in resolution and some of them do it at the expense of performance.

Pretty much, some things deff look better, old games just play well just as you are used to, some games, like fifa 17 just run perfect on 4k, others, like skyrim and the last of us deliver the 4k experience but take a big hit in performance, the last of us used to be 60fps/1080p and on 4k with 30fps you do really get a worse gameplay experience for a better graphical experience, on skyrim, well, the game goes from a solid 30fps from the base ps4 to a 4k experience with more framedrops.

Other games, however, like Battleifled 1 and Titanfall don't go full native 4k, but use a dynamic resolution of around 1440P (the sweet spot for ps4pro it seems) and manage to improve the performance over the base model because the resolution might drop, but the frames won't as much as on the base PS4.

overall you can really see native 4k won't be used much but the bump in resolution is nice, for people that own a 4k television.

Personally I only played on the pro for 4-5 hours since I don't own one myself, but the two games that really did a good job where Infamous and Tomb Raider, they let you choose either a bump in resolution or a higher frames per second, and the higher FPS was really what I would want, the games got more responsive, played better and it felt like the experience I would want to play over the original.

But I am sad to see resolution (graphics) is prefered over gameplay (fps) by most developers and sony

 

Big hit in performance ? Bullshit. You don't own one yourself ? LOL

There are 3 games that nobody cares about including 2 modes of old remastered games that have rare occassional framerate drops not seen on regular PS4 (because the res is too high for the Pro, but it's probably going to be patched).

All the others big AAA games significantly improve resolution not at the expense of framerate, indeed sometimes the framerate is significantly improved like for Battlefield 1.
