Original story:It's the PlayStation 4 Pro feature we've been waiting for. Let's just say that initial results are fascinating - more on that very soon.
ARKHAM KNIGHT UPDATE 1.14 WONT INSTALL PATCH
We're in the process of rounding off our tests at the moment, with Just Cause 3 still in the pipeline - and we'll also be comparing Fallout 4's brand-new 1.14 Pro patch with the older 1.12 code running under boost mode.
However, if it's impressive improvements to base performance you're looking for, check out Lords of the Fallen and The Evil Within (running in full-screen mode, of course). We've also dipped into Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty along with horror classic, Until Dawn, based on Guerrilla Games' Decima engine. Out of the titles mentioned, it's Rocksteady's final Dark Knight outing that shows the most improvement, while for Souls fans, it's actually the Scholar of the First Sin remaster that benefits most, clocking in at the rock-solid 60fps we really wanted from the original release.īut that's not the end of our testing. We've covered fan-favourite titles including The Witcher 3, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3 and Batman: Arkham Knight. UPDATE 11/2/17 2:20pm: Based on community feedback, we've gone back and tested more titles under PS4 Pro's upcoming boost mode, coming soon to system software 4.5 - currently in beta. Boost mode will provide an improved experience, but at this point, there's little alternative other than to run the title on PC if you're looking for the best way to play this game. However, as the video clearly demonstrates, even with boost mode active, Just Cause 3 still has severe issues in maintaining its target 30fps.Īt this point, hopes are fading for the optimisation push this title really needs. Open world streaming slowdown is visibly improved while physics work can also see tangible improvements.
The good news is that boost mode does help to a certain extent. The bad news is that returning to Just Cause 3 this month, nothing has really improved on base hardware - frame-rate is still visibly impacted by advanced physics work, large explosions and even traversing the open world (where we assume the CPU is tested as it streams in and decompresses open world data). Our results back then were inconclusive, but one thing was clear - with lows of 15fps, the title clearly needed substantial optimisation work. It's been six months since we last looked at the game in the wake of reports that a succession of patches had actually made in-game performance worse, not better. UPDATE 14/2/17 3:30pm: Rounding off our analysis of PS4 Pro's upcoming boost mode, we take a look at a title that clearly requires as much horsepower as possible - Avalanche's Just Cause 3.
