PlayStation 4 Pro

But it was post, uh, Killzone Shadow Fall where there was trouble around the, uh, promised pixel counts and they used that interlaced rendering.

And PS4, PS4 Pro is essentially doing that, but in more like a jittered grid pattern, which is what checkerboard rendering was all about.

And this was the thing that was really hard to appreciate over YouTube more than anything, because it actually did a really good job, and I would say in a lot of the games where they shipped good checkerboard rendering, the, the results in some ways could be arguably better than some of the games we've seen on modern consoles where they just use, like, FSR 3 or something.

Like, it actually looks really, really sharp.

So cool stuff.

Mm-hmm.

But before we move on, I did notice on the time machine right next to the PS4 Pro video, we've got a FIFA 17-

[laughs]

But again, if you haven't played it, definitely dip in.

I played this on PS4 Pro and was just blown away by the graphics.

I liked the story.

The story in that was so good.

This is all really good stuff.

Oh, and of course, a PS4 Pro update.

Wait, PS4 Pro? Yeah.

I'm sorry? Did you say PS4 Pro? Okay, I was going to say, if they brought it to the PS4 Pro, I

mean, that would be interesting.

Yeah, so, you know, in the background right now, I can just imagine Tom de-archiving all of his existing streams, all of his existing video captures of those prior versions of the game to see just how far we've come with this new version.

But possibly PS5 Pro just uses TAA, just ships with, you know, 30% more pixels, 40% more pixels in any given frame, and that helps clean things up a little bit.

I wouldn't be shocked if they go that route, and, and obviously Rockstar has the, the infamy of their, uh, PS4 Pro implementation for Red Dead Redemption 2, which was not so flattering at the time, to hopefully, uh, hopefully, uh, push down [laughs] and deliver something better then.

But I, I wouldn't be shocked if maybe they launch with one configuration for this game, and then they shift into another configuration later on, perhaps after they've put some elbow grease into it.

Um, but yeah.

Because

I'm like, no, I'm happy with my PS4 Pro or whatever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.
