Wow. Sony is absolutely KILLING it with the PS4. This sounds amazing.
Do we actually know that this DOESN'T also apply to games that already benefit from PRO patches? Not all PRO patches are made the same, so unless they specifically block this boost mode on games with PRO patches, I can see it helping those games as well.
Can't wait to see exactly how this works and what it works with. Need me a PRO asap.

Which is what the framepacing issues is that everyone's talking about !!!! It's not framerate.
Proof... I don't see it go below 28FPS and even then it goes back up to 30 pretty quickly.

Someone please try rainbow 6.
Why won't people understand that a stable 30fps won't matter if the pacing is broken?

A lot of those chugs and dips you're seeing are a result of framepacing, not actual framerate dips. From DF's Bloodborne analysis:

So for all those getting excited about Bloodbourne, I take it this won't in any way improve the visuals and cull that damn vaseline filter then?

True test. Lichdom battle mage. Is it playable now?

People complain YouTube because of all the coverage, they're going to drown in their tears now.

Yeah, this was one of the things that sprung to my mind. All the Warriors games I've played have unlocked frame rates, be interesting to see if they are any better.
Great news about Yakuza 0 by the sounds of it. Kinda glad I've held off my replay of the game, might well just wait until this firmware update goes live for everyone so I can replay it without any tearing. Makes me wonder if the same is also true for Kiwami (has the same minor tearing issues).

Yep, this mode doesn't affect filters and visual modes.

It's impossible unless the Pro Patch is basically broken

exactly.
This is awesome, but isn't it against the rules Sony put out to prevent multiplayer advantage for people playing on Pro? I don't know of any multiplayer games that have performance issues which this could significantly impact, but there must be some out there? Although most probably struggle at specific scenarios and not the moment to moment gameplay

Really? Maybe that works for people accepted on the forums. Meaning they're technically in the beta, but waiting on the invite email.
Gotta see if someone can forward the email to me! (I have access to the forums).

I can understand games that came out AFTER the PRO released, and were developed with it in mind, but for games that were simply patched, why not? The description says nothing about games that were patched, only says games that were released prior to PRO.

Just signed up a few hours ago to the beta so my chances are 0%.
For real?! fantastic.
Head to the swamps!!
It was a mess sometimes. Try the "swamp"-thing that people here said
Hmm, what should I test? Fallout4? Killzone? Honestly do not remember games with atrocious frame rates, though F4 can be slow. GTAV? Sadly loaned out BB and played Witcher3 on PC, so cant test those. Driveclub? LBP3? Make your call GAF.
Try Killzone as it has unlocked framerate to see the differences.
I've been looking for one in France for a few weeks and it's been consistently out of stock
As of right now, amazon.co.uk/fr/de/es/it --> out of stock
Comparison video BM on/off if possible. Thanks.

I want to see if Shadowfall is 60fps now.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I bought the game solely based on that article.
If what I played is 'patched', I never want to see the unpatched version. There's a flooded jungle stage later in the game which ran at 10 FPS through out.
This is one of the rare few games I sold without finishing it. I didn't even bother youtubing the ending, it's THAT bad.
Excellent, also holy shit Amateur PS4 frame rate is that bad ? I finished the game back on PS3, didn't notice that bad frame rate on PS3.
Oh man yeah please this
No thanks..
