Support NeoGAF

[The Elite]

The power cable and how poorly it connects to the console is so fucking chintzy. You gotta be kidding with this, Sony.

I prefer this one over the OG PS4. That one never felt fully connected.

 

[M.W.]

How's the new controller's build quality? Any better?

 

[Strakt]

Gamestop took my OG xbox one for $150 for a ps4 pro

 

[Copper]

Other than the lightbar what's different about the new DS4? Better battery life? The build quality seems a little better.

 

[Anung]

Gonna need to buy a new harddrive asap. This 800gb is going to get swallowed up.

Better battery, sticks appear sturdier.

 

[Movalpolos]

Going XBOS for MP titles & PS4P for SP titles from today onwards.

Really wish Sony would get their shit together in regards to ease of use for MP.

Thanks for your useless console war comment I guess.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Can confirm uncharted 4 looks really good downscaled to 1080p. The nasty dithering is still there but is nowhere near as obvious. Also the sharpness filter has been reduced.

This is gameplay not photo mode.

Just cosmetic. All matte, no gloss, and grey buttons instead of black.

 

[Experien]

Wow paragon looks insane, crystal clear iq and loads of added effects.

4K or 1080p TV?

 

[ced]

So just popped in TF2 to the pro, I thought there were options in either the system or game to do different 1080 modes?

not in Titanfall 2

 

[Jacksinthe]

Edit: NVM I see it on the OG

About 38 minutes for 210gb with 1 minute to go.

...

Hmmm

Doing the PS4 transfer from OG. Everything worked fine but I have no progress bar on the transferring screen.

The PS symbols are animating and this is the right screen, but no bar.

Wonder if that changed with 4.05 firmware.

 

[Arttemis]

My PRO had pretty much the same "issue".
Replaced the HDD with my new Firecuda and the noise is gone.
The PRO is completely silent now.

This is the best news in the thread. As soon as my Firecuda arrives, I'm getting a Pro and doing the network transfer, then selling my OG PS4.

 

[RightChandMan]

Gamestop took my OG xbox one for $150 for a ps4 pro

how? I traded mine in for less than that!

 

[Smidget]

Just cosmetic. All matte, no gloss, and grey buttons instead of black.

I wonder if I should trade in my XB1 stick replaced DS4 or keep the new DS4. Hmmmm. Any rubber issues anymore?

 

[ced]

not in Titanfall 2

Ok so it's game specific and some games the improvements are just transparent?

 

[Dawg]

Can someone with a 1080p TV who bought the Pro test World of Final Fantasy?

The characters look lower quality on my pro compared to standard ps4. More aliasing, kinda grainy...

 

[icespide]

some games only have one mode in Pro mode and that will just happen automatically, other games offer several different options and usually you can choose those in game (Tomb Raider, TLOU, etc)

 

[DrowsyJungle]

It's the same controller that ships with the slim. Much better IMO though...

 

[Strakt]

I think they simply misunderstood their trade in deal; since ps4 is $150, the dude considered the xbox one a $150 trade in value as well. Normally, its $100 for xbone.

 

[chippy13]

Looks like Amazon/Canada Post is going to screw me over for the weekend. Parcel didn't arrive at the depot in time to make today's delivery and they are closed tomorrow for Remembrance Day.

 

[SilverManson]

I've tried everything and just cannot get the move controllers to pair with the Pro. They kept starting the old Playstation so I've reset them on the back and all they are doing is just blinking.

Very frustrating

 

[BossDarkseid]

Does anyone know in terms of 3rd party peripheral support (headsets etc) should it be the same between PS4 and PS4 Pro?

 

[castaction]

so i got the ps4 pro at ebgames this morning , i still dont like to much the design, cant wait to play ratchet and clank

 

[Chamber]

Say it ain't so, the way my setup is getting to the back of my ps4 is awkward

I feel like I can sneeze on it and dislodge the cord. Thankfully my setup is pretty simple so it shouldn't move around any but I still want to find a replacement.

 

[Bad_Boy]

Hey my 4K monitor isn't reading the 2160p option it says unsupported. Any fix?

Having the same issue with my receiver that has 4k pass through. -_-'

 

[shanafan]

Woot, Target has my store pickup ready. Thank you wishlist app and Red Card!

 

[DOWN]

I guess I'll just go ahead and swap the default 1TB HDD for the hybrid 1TB SSHD right away. Might get the occasional speed boost but otherwise they are the same storage size.

 

[The Hamburglar]

Someone kindly informed me that sata3 doesn't do anything for hdd, what about ssd or has nobody tested it yet.

 

[Unknown?]

This is going to be a long day at work!! I downloaded the update to USB in preparation to make it faster and didn't realize the file I needed was bigger! I'll have to do that as I'm swapping to my 1.5TB drive, won't take long to dl.

Did read it has a bug that it makes it looks worse.

Wire them up to the PS4 to pair them.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Do I need my pre-order receipt from Gamestop to pick my Pro?
I forgot mine at home and I pre-ordered at a Gamestop on my way home from work (20min drive).

At least an ID is how it used to work

 

[Drewfonse]

Both settings work in HDR for me. But yes it switches to 4.2.2. which is what happens when I select RGB 4K. In game

Both settings work in HDR? OK, now I'm confused. I thought HDR was the RGB setting only. I guess I'll go Automatic and hope for the best.

 

[dyergram]

Pro won't do 4K through my amp for some reason which is weird because I can put my pc in 4K which is plugged into the amp.

I wonder if you disable the HDCP setting?

 

[1337Sauce]

Just some quick confirmation before I trade in my PS4.

1) Backed up what I want on my USB
2) Deactivated my system as my primary PS4.
3) Formatted the system to factory settings
4) ??? Good to go?

Seeing some stuff about downloading an update to your USB, but I am assuming that this is for people that are swapping drives between consoles. I am not planning on doing this, and just restoring my USB to the PS4 Pro's native drive.

I'm not forgetting anything right?

 

[EL CUCO]

Anybody playing TF|2 Pro on a 1080 display that was previously playing it at launch with regular PS4?

Was wondering if the IQ bump was noticeable enough to make it worth picking one up.

 

[Jake2by4]

Don't know if anybody mentioned but I just got a alert that PS4 pro is 360 at target without a redcard.

 

[excaliburps]

Think how many people are currently receiving their Pros and all redownloading BF1 etc they are going to be getting a good hammering right now.



It was mentioned earlier but disable HDCP for the time being. That seems to fix the issue on LG sets.

What I did was go into safe mode, turned HDCP to 1.4 and it worked. I mean, once it showed in my Video Output Information as:

• Resolution: 3840x2160 - 60Hz
• Color Format: RGB HDR on Your TV 2K/4K
• Supported HDCP 1.4

It does say this as well, "Currently this PS4 is set to use only HDCP 1.4 When using HDCP 1.4, applications that support 4K might not display in 4K."

So that means, I'm all set, then? (I sure hope so).

Other than the lightbar what's different about the new DS4? Better battery life? The build quality seems a little better.

Buttons and triggers feel better to me.

 

[Omegabalmung9]

switching HDD right now

 

[scitek]

9 hours to transfer 362GB. Awesome. I'll play it after work tonight.

Sounds like you're good to go.

 

[pswii60]

Only had a chance to try Infamous: First Light so far.

There are two options: 1080p with a near-locked 60fps, or higher resolution at an unlocked framerate (with 30fps toggle option).

My favourite is actually the higher res mode with the 30fps lock. It looks stunning, and the detail is absolutely incredible. The benefits of the higher resolution are even more clear with the draw distance - with neon signs in the distance still looking pin sharp with no aliasing.

9 hours to transfer 362GB. Awesome. I'll play it after work tonight.

Took me 90 minutes to transfer 350GB - are you using a gigabit LAN cable?

 

[MythicReclaimer]

It should change shortly after you start the process.

Mine is down to 104 minutes left after 18 GB/365 GB being transferrred.

SSD will easily saturate SATA3. The benefit though of SSD is latency reduction primary and bandwidth secondary.
