They didn’t max it out which you will see when nd release their next masterpiece the last of us 2. The funny thing is even if they would have maxed the pro the game still looks better than any other game out there on any system so what exactly are you trying to say

Really troll you might want to read digital foundrys analysis of horizon zero dawn so you don’t look so dumb next time. The fact is per digital foundry and numerous other developers the checkerboard technique is such a close approximation of 4K that besides being a little softer you wouldn’t even be able to tell unless they told you but fanboys like you will use it as ammo which is funny because Scorpio is going to be using the same technique so I can’t wait to see the goal post moving then

PS5 will be Late 2019 Early 2020. Maybe. Last of Us 2 will be 2018 guaranteed.

Im not going to enter in deep details, fact is the eye has much higher resolution in the center area, resolution to distance wise is not a linear scale, so the middle ground is the worst case sceneraio for higher perceptual resolution because is not near enough nor big enough.
If you want to educate yourself make your search, not gonna discuss with someone thats not even confused to start with.
I will just say that if on video the difference is already quite dramatic, playing it will just make it more dramatic, since there is no compression artifacts to mess with.

You’re a backwards and confused. Firstly, this is not my living room 4k TV. It’s for our game room, which is little more than 200 square feet. I sit roughly 5ft away, in my chair. When I gamed a lot, on PC, I maybe sat 2 feet from a 27″ monitor. When I used my 32inch tv, recently, I was about 3.5-4 feet away. The further back you are, the less you notice, while on PC It’s considered “pixel peeping.”

Secondly, it’s no secret that at relative seating distances, 4k makes little difference below the 65″-70″ range

I agree if PS5 comes out Fall 2018, it’ll be like when The Last Of Us came out June 2013 and then PS4 launched Nov 2013.

PS4 “pro” is a joke

40″ 4k is not good for monitor use and not good for a tv size, bad move.
Im sorry to say that using a 27″monitor 4k which is still too small, the diference of 1080p to 4k IN THIS GAME to make it clear, is night and day, nothing minimal at all, hope you know how to configure your tv settings to get the max of it…

Guerrilla Games didn’t have to use checkerboard rendering to achieve 4K on the pro, Horizon is native 1080p on the base PS4, yet The Division is also a current gen AAA game which is confirmed to run at native 1080p on the base PS4, but it also runs at full native 4K on the Pro, with no temporal rendering techniques required.

On the pro Horizon is confirmed to have improved texures and filtering when it’s pro 4K checkerboard mode is engaged.
Considering this extra workload and the fact that we have evidence of another 1080p AAA game running in native 4k on pro Horizon could run at native 4k on pro with the same visual settings as base PS4 if Guerrilla wanted to optimize their code to do so on Pro.

They’re telling us here that they could do more with what they have.
