Gameplay
One of the biggest questions on the minds of many prospective PS4 Pro owners is how will the more powerful machine affect gameplay. Sony was clear that they wouldn’t push for any exclusive experiences on the new console as to not split the player base. Still, some are hopeful that there would be something special. If you’re looking for something brand new, though, you’re going to be disappointed.
The improvements to gameplay are a lot more subtle than you may want, but still worthwhile. Framerate is one of the biggest improvements. Games that didn’t have a stable rate now have one, and others have their framerates improved. There are titles such as Rise of the Tomb Raider which will offer options to players that include unlocked framerates with 1080p, or 4K with a locked 30.
It may not be an entire new mode or new missions, but the fact that action is a lot smoother does translate to gameplay experiences, something that has been proven time and time again. It won’t be a major transformation, but it will help to make navigating certain levels and dealing with threats more manageable.
