Native 4K
Yet another disappointment that emerged following the Pro’s reveal was its half-baked attempt at 4K gaming. While the checkerboard upscaling process definitely offers a display close to that of a native 4K experience, the way in which some developers are utilizing the power of the PS4 Pro has been a little hit and miss when it comes to results.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s Pro support was largely considered a disappointing show for the amount of power on offer and it’s not alone. On the other hand, the likes of Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of Mordor look stunning thanks to the 4K and HDR combo.
Had the PS4 Pro been powerful enough to accommodate all games at native 4K and had the support from developers been there to utilize power a little more effectively, the Pro would be looking like a far more substantial upgrade to the general player base.
