Visuals
This is actually the primary purpose of the PS4 Pro. All of that extra horsepower is there to up the visual ante to 4K. There’s been a lot of confusion surrounding exactly what 4K means for the upcoming console, but to put it simply, games look remarkably better. There will be some titles that run in native 4K, but others will be using a special technique that provides a similar visual effect. Other than the higher resolution, the PS4 Pro also makes use of HDR capable televisions. This provides much better lighting and coloring in your games.
While trying out Deus Ex: Mankind Divided images popped and there was a surprising level of clarity. The game already looked impressive on the standard PS4, but the boost from the Pro really lent a lot to the experience. Different features that may have been overlooked stood out, and the background world finally felt like more than just dressing.
Rise of the Tomb Raider also looked a lot better on the PS4 Pro. Lara’s character model looked as if you were staring at the actual actress, The backgrounds, once again, really stood out thanks to improved textures, more realistic lighting, and a better flow while moving about.
