The beta for the system software overhaul is technically under NDA, but that’s not stopping some from risking their YouTube standing with clips of the new feature in action, reports Push Square.
While the testing showed that the PS4 Pro boost mode may not be perfect, but it’s still pretty good, especially when one considers the state of the game previously.
In fact, the anecdotal evidence thus far paints a very positive picture. “Destiny,” for example, gets much faster loading times; “DriveClub” has better motion blur; “Furi” sees a reduction in screen tearing; “Grand Theft Auto V” has a better framerate; “Until Dawn” is generally smoother, and even “Yakuza 0” is that little bit better.
Thus, it is quite a surprise to critics and gamers and the gaming community in general why Sony failed to mention or elaborate on the upgrade before it released the beta recently.
Some are saying that Sony may be scared of upsetting standard PS4 owners, but it’s not like all of these games weren’t designed with the base model in mind, the PS4 Pro is simply brute-forcing the better performance.
The improvements, while appreciated, are not exactly gigantic, one is still going to see better results from the games that are patched specifically to support the PS4 Pro, that critics are saying as it’s a surprise bonus for those who bought the hardware.
