Uncharted 4's Singleplayer runs at 1440p 30 fps, multiplayer runs at 1080p 60fps.

 

Best watched at 1080p in full-screen mode. Rich and the team put the Pro's 4K credentials to the test. Can it handle ultra HD, or is it really more of a 1440p machine? We'll have more detailed hardware analysis soon, but you can get a preview by reading our web review: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di...n-4-pro-review

Whether it's embracing VR wholeheartedly or challenging the established console generation cycle, you've got to hand it to Sony - this company knows how to take risks. They don't get much bigger than PlayStation 4 Pro, a release that doesn't just ask you to upgrade your console, but your display too. Built primarily for the new wave of ultra HD 4K screens, the Pro offers both CPU and GPU upgrades over the current PS4. At its best, it offers stunning visual improvements over the same games running on base hardware, but even the more modestly boosted titles show clear improvements. Bearing in mind the entirely reasonable price-point, it's a highly compelling piece of hardware.

Backup Process

As things stand, the migration process from moving from base PS4 to Pro is remarkably straightforward. As Sony's new console uses the exact same front-end system as the existing model, the same options are utilised - you can back-up your system to an external hard drive, then restore it on the Pro. Alternatively, hook up both consoles to your router via LAN cables and the entirety of your drive contents can be beamed across to the Pro (but be warned, this may actually take longer than the drive back-up option). We've been asked if you can simply rip out your old HDD and implant it into the Pro - this doesn't work as all drives are encrypted, and each individual PS4 has its own encryption key.



 

The PS5 Exists. 


Around the Network

I added these videos to my "watch later" and then fired up my 4k video to watch them on my TV's YouTube app. I've only watched the Tomb Raider video so far and, to my eyes, it looks better than the PC!

 

I'll watch the Uncharted video, next.



its not a question, its a fact.

I didn't want to get accused of tampering with the DF headline. You know what people are like.

So far it is pretty much as expected which is a great thing. These 4 days is gonna be a long arse wait!

I'm anxious

The transfer process is unfortunately not what I expected. DF says you have to connect both to a router, not directly together via LAN cable. Since I can't move the tv to the router, I guess I'll have to take the (faster) back up route.

My question is, does backing up ps4 content to an external HDD leave the existing contents on that drive alone? Will it back up to a separate directory I can delete later?

Use your PSVita to use as extra screen, use a small tv or memorize the commands (or go from a tutorial and emulate)

I can use PSVR if needed, backup would just be easier (and is apparently faster)
Yet I don't want to get my drive wiped (just over 1Tb of contents on it, 950GB free)

Edit: Guess I'll have to mess about with PSVR, extension cords and LAN cables, my backup drive is NTFS. ps4 only supports FAT32 and exFAT. Although I still have an old router I could use I guess. Better not be any restrictions on what router works!

vonnecting both to a router is just an option. and not even as fast as conneting them directly to eachother.
