Surprised they kept this secret. Thought they said they would patch it later and do nothing for now

Cool though

Texture pop in is significantly superior on the Pro. And the lighting, wow

joethetimelord3496d ago

On one hand I'm glad there's not too much of a difference between Pro and Vanilla. On the other I'm glad there's enough difference to warrant the Pro's validity.

Asuka3496d ago

Downloading the demo now. Tho i will be playing on my OG ps4 it is nice to see options for people who can use such features. Gotta give it to SE for finally putting in the work because over the past few months FFXV has seen many improvements (according to previews). Cannot wait to finally play this. Watched the anime, and the movie so im ready haha

Irishguy953496d ago

Also for anyone who plays, GO OUT AT NIGHT, taste the combat system. The fact that its locked on easy means yiy should should battle high level enemeis

joethetimelord3496d ago

Also those little tusked cow things are a must if you want a longer fight. They have absurd amounts of HP and fight in packs, so you can get used to crowd control.

UCForce3496d ago

Definitely it's look more realistic on Pro version.

G20WLY3496d ago

That's a significant texture boost for the Pro there o_O

Also, it seems like there is more - and thicker - foliage. The lighting is a huge improvement!

Spenok3495d ago

Wow that's a pretty good difference. As I said yesterday, this game alone makes me happy I got the Pro.

Nu3495d ago

Huge difference, I barely notice an improvement

Irishguy953495d ago (Edited 3495d ago )

Its pretty big for something that wasn't supposed to be there. This is 'high' settings versus 'maximum' on PC. It makes a big difference when you play. Being able to to see the ground load is an immersion killer. Look at No mans Sky versus Star citizen for entering a planet. Tell me texture loading isnt isn't a ****

I don't see much of a difference honestly... I didn't see the HQ and LQ signs at first, and I was debating which was which.

Teflon023496d ago

I thought the top would be the normal ps4 but I looked and knew immediately the top looked better and smoother then I went and realized it said hq on the ones I liked lol

zivtheawesome3496d ago

it is because of how they show the pics.
the gif @Irishguy95 showed makes the difference a lot clearer.

EmperorDalek3496d ago

That certainly showed it off better.

Asuka3496d ago

yeah i also think you won't be able to see the HDR difference unless you are viewing it on a HDR tv. These screens won't show that. Gotta play it for yourself.

Rude-ro3495d ago

I second that. I played cod:iw first on my pro...
The image was improved, but something off. It was not "fantastic", just really clean. I checked settings on the pro and it said my tv was not hdr. Of which it is. Samsung 8500 curved uhd.
Turns out I had to turn the option on per hdmi input, so I did. Jumped back into the level I was playing... holy cow the difference.
Hdr + 4k is beyond ridiculously beautiful.

jer11223495d ago

Well it's literally impossible that you're playing Call of Duty infinite Warfare with HDR since it doesnt support hdr. It only supports an updated resolution it's using 2K checkerboard rendering. On my Samsung TV you have to enable the UMD HDMI mode and then you get the resolution but there is no HDR so I don't know if you're lying or you just don't understand. The game does look very good but it doesn't have HDR

Rude-ro3495d ago (Edited 3495d ago )

@jer1122
I will go with what I physically played and saw soooooo
if turning on uhd made that big of a difference without hdr... than my mind will be blown even more.
According to venturebeat via activision, it does support hdr
And do you mean uhd? I do not know what umd is nor is it on my tv.

Markusb333495d ago

Exactly when you try it in store you will see a major difference and want the console. I already have a 4k tv so it's not a big outlay in one go. It's the same deal with psvr. Go out to your local shop and try it out.

blackblades3495d ago

Just imagine if was dolby vision. It's a much higher end then hdr. HDR 10 < DV 12 it be awhile until hdr get where DV is at. Only problem with DV not many devices supports it.

Artemidorus3495d ago

Downvoted for telling the truth.

Markusb333495d ago

You not watching in 4k ? There is a big difference I'm many pro games but you need to see it in 4k to see what's possible and it is very good. My local game shop has it on demo in store with this game and all the others

mad-dog3495d ago

Well, it's VERY clear to me. In motion, it will have Waaaay less shimmering in the distance too.

Six Times When Games Turned Into A Horror Game

Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog396d ago (Edited 396d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom395d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk77395d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

Final Fantasy XV Datamine Reveals Hidden Chapter 14 Scene That Was Cut

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125530d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501530d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne530d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989530d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga530d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989530d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga529d ago (Edited 529d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69530d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid529d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69529d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp530d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion782d ago (Edited 782d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled782d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
