Horizon: Zero Dawn details PS4 Pro enhancements

How Guerrilla's new action RPG will look better on the PS4 upgrade.

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Guerrilla Games have shared new information and screenshots introducing Horizon: Zero Dawn‘s PlayStation 4 Pro enhancements on the PlayStation Blog.  

Here’s an overview of what PlayStation 4 Pro users can expect:

• Far better image quality for players who own standard 1080p HDTVs. This includes supersampling, a high-quality anti-aliasing technique that lets the game internally render at a higher resolution (close to 4K) before shrinking it down to the final 1080p resolution. This results in more detail, including smoother edges and a more stable image.
• Shadow maps and antisotropic filtering quality enhancements. This technique increases the quality of texture sampling, resulting in more detailed environment textures.
• Output at a much higher resolution for players who own 4K TVs. It is rendered at 2160p checkerboard. You’ll notice subtle details such as the stitching on Aloy’s outfit, individual leaves and branches swaying in the wind, kilometers away in the distance, and more detail in the machines and NPCs.
• High-dynamic range support, which enhances the range of colors that are displayed.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is due out for PlayStation 4 on February 28. PlayStation 4 Pro is due out on November 10 for $399. Read more here.

Why not 60fps instead of a bunch of meme effects nobody will notice?

I'm gonna hold on getting the Pro, will wait for third parties to know how they are going to use the extra power.

Sony already showed they don't care about 60 fps...

Sad! I want Nier at 60fps

I dont have 4k TVs but I am buying this day one.

That's nice to have. I don't plan to have a 4k (much less HDR) display anytime soon, so better visuals on my el cheapo monitor are good enough :D

Cool story. Do you think this will be the last iteration of the PS4, or are we going to get a PS4 Pro 2? I'm not going to buy it anytime soon, since I haven't got a TV right now, but I guess I'll buy a PS4 at one point. Want to buy the ultimate one for $250 preferably

Pretty much.

it's much easier to increase res than to increase fps with a CPU that already was the bottleneck with just 1.8TF of GPU power

you might be able to do a workaround to make the GPU do CPU tasks and such, but that's waaaaay more work

Nier is released at 60fps if you own the correct gaming machine.

You sure it won't be another lazy/terrible pc port locked at 30 fps?

Well, not many high profile PC games locked at 30 stayed that way for long.
