maddux4163 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I ask because everyone on Facebook and EBay wants full MSRP. $400. Ummm. No. If I wanted to pay MSRP. I’d buy it new. We’re 4 months from a new gen. It’s dumb to want a pro. My regular PS4 is fine. But I have a 4K tv and wanted to see what it’s like is all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using Performance mode on Ghost though, and when I put it in resolution mode, I had some frame dips, so that seems to be worthwhile.

maddux4163 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 I’m willing to buy. But on the cheap. Next gen is near. If I was willing to pay $350-$400 I’d just as well buy new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an OG ps4 and was thinking about waiting to play TLoU2 when the 5 comes out, but you're saying it isn't a big difference? Should I just buy it and play on OG?

Bacon Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 No one will want to sell their pro for cheap until the PS5 is ready to be released. Even then, I doubt prices will get super low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played it on the OG and it played fine except for the fact that the PS4 sounded like it was about to launch into orbit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't wait if I was you. PS4 pros are hard to find as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote All of which is to say that with The Last of Us Part 2, Sony has delivered effective platform-parity in terms of the visual specification, with just a resolution boost delivered to those who've bought the enhanced machine. Yes, the base PS4 has a tiny, marginal performance advantage but it's essentially a non-issue and didn't stop us playing through the game on Pro hardware.

JPDunks4 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I was on the OG PlayStation until I got to downtown Seattle. I would look really good on that, and seemed to have a solid framerate. On the Pro it was noticably higher res, but that's all I noticed. No better frames or performance mode. Didn't seem to have better textures or anything. I probably wouldn't wait. PS5 I would hope gets a double framerate option, so if that matters to you it might be worth waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 All you get by going to pro is the boost from 1080p to 1440p. I am hoping however that ps5 has a day1 4k patch (and hopefully 60fps but im just asking for the bare minimum) so I’m waiting for that myself.

maddux4163 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Guess it’s dumb in the first place to want to spend money on a pro, when I’ve used my OG PS4 since launch, with 0 issues. Also, I’ll absolutely be purchasing a PS5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
