This ot is unfair.

That's means PS4 Pro has Same frame rates, 4 times resolution .
And same launch price .

Noting wrong.
I wonder why he(and Game Spot) didn't mentioned XBO's resolution and frame rates.

This game wont be 4K on PS4 Pro.

so they just showed it running at 4k for thr Pro for the lolz?

Anyways. I can show you proof of a PS4pro ME:A in 4k (or at least Sony's implementation of the format), care to show us yours?

I can't wait to pick my favorite color at the ending...

OT: I've always thought that console makers could cram in a 4 way Titan SLI into their consoles and we would still get 30 FPS games, performance is a dev's choice, not something determined solely by the hardware.

I've mentioned this before I believe (months ago), but this situation will be the norm for every console generation. Regardless of how much power and memory every future console will contain, developers will opt to make sure their game looks better than the competition even at the cost of performance. The reason being is that way their game will garner more attention away from the competition. They realize how easily gamers are swayed by graphics. Frame rate isn't that much of an issue.

I think PS4 Pro presented a fair opportunity had they given the CPU more of a boost. Given the chance Developers will always push the boundaries of what we see graphically unless they feel 60fps is essential to the gameplay experience, but when the baseline platform is a 30fps machine and the premium platform is recieving a port from here, you would target 60fps with the premium platform if the specs make it a no brainer. PS4's Pro specs do not. 

In the the case of Tomb Raider it comes with 3 modes on PS4 Pro (4k30, 1080p30fps maxed graphical settings & 1080p with an unlocked framerate). Eurogamer suspect the latter is being bottle necked by the CPU." unlocked frame-rate mode for 1080p that sees performance vary between 40-60fps (we assume that this will be down to CPU bottlenecks)" Bear in mind that the OG PS4 version runs between 30-60fps with an average of 50fps. 60fps games on Pro haven't been spoken about by any developer or sony because the 30% stronger CPU doesn't make it a likely outcome. A game would have to heavily GPU dependant for the new hardware to make 60fps a likely outcome.

Cinematic experience.

30 FPS is good for a game like Mass Effect. The only games to me that really need to be 60 FPS are Fighting, Racing and FPS.

I used to agree with this, then I played TLOU on PS3 and then TLOU:R on the PS4 (with 60 FPS). The difference was mind-boggling to me, and I now laugh at the notion that third-person games don't need 60 FPS.

graphics over performance is common thing on consoles.

I wish all games would be 60 FPS but certain games I can do with being 30 FPS.  The game looks amazing on the PS4 Pro but if you want that 60 FPS then PC will be the only option.

This is a load of hooplah.

I have no quams about a game being 30 FPS, although 60 FPS is a thing of beauty.

Maybe you didnt get the memo but PS4 Pro simply doesent have the power to do all games at 4K. I believe DF already said its running below 4K. Horizon was confirmed not to be native 4K.

The Last of Us for example is a 1080p/60 fps game. The PS4 can handle with relative given its a 7th gen game with tweaks. On PS4 Pro it will be 4K at 30 fps. While 60 fps will be done at a lower resolution.

So if the OG PS4 is running ME at 1080p/30 fps, dont expect 4K/30 fps. It simply lacks the power for that leap.

Didn't you get the memo? If any 8th-gen game runs at less than 60fps, it is automatically hot garbage. At least, that's what a lot of people out there seem to think.

Not only that, but UHD BD playback is the most essential component of a gaming console.
