I'm never getting a Pro so hopefully reviews won't give up mentioning performance issues in games played on the regular PS4.

Wow I'm only on 12 and thought the story was wrapping up. No way I'm finishing the rest of it in just one day.

It has not reached the degree of unfun I felt in uncharted 3 at all (so far no fights have devolved into choreography where there's eighteen things you have to deal with at once, and if you ever make a misstep you're loving dead because some suicidal guy runs up and punches you out of cover in view of the sniper, three guys with grenade launchers who take entire magazines to kill, and a bunch of other goons). Hopefully it doesn't reach that point but with how much it's already picked up, it feels like it's gonna get that way by the end

More like developers should have been tasked with making it work like that on the normal PS4 and not leave it up to Sony patching it into a mid generation refresh.

That's the real problem. Developers always overextended themselves to make pretty screenshots .

I think games running slightly worse like the would have if the Pro had never existed is hardly throwing the user base under the bus.

And some games had been running poorly on vanilla ps4 well before the pro was even announced.

The real fact is they're gonna run worse anyway. At least we can make up for some of the other games now with a cheap upgrade.


If the Pro never existed, bloodborne would still run with stuttering, the last guardian would have frame pacing problems and you wouldn't be able to play Nioh in 60fps.

Like on the list of games improved by the Pro was loving Broforce (which is still supposed to run pretty poo poo) so really the blame on Sony can only go so far.

Its almost like Gamestop is a lovely retailer, even podunk electronics stores in Germany sell and stock Pros

And yeah, the difference is that the Pro has a tiny blue/white pro patch on the packaging

I don't know if QoP is being serious or not, but where I'm at, there are definitely no Pro boxes out in stores. I've literally seen 1, at Best Buy. Everything else has been the vanilla PS4.

I can go get one at Best Buy right now. It's almost as if they're popular and consumers aren't falling for buying the slim.

Nope, I've been keeping an eye out to see if there's any deals and apart from their website I haven't seen one in a shop.

I got my Pro from Best Buy like two weeks ago, however, it wasn't on a shelf and I had to have someone get one out of the back for me

Do Gamestops have discretion about what their specific location stocks? Maybe certain locations (some rural neighborhoods maybe?) might avoid stocking certain products that might be seen as pointless, like if no one in the area has a TV other than a Walmart 720p set.

What Walmart isn't rocking 4K sets now?

I really doubt Gamestop's data is that sophisticated in any case. They surely don't stock each store evenly, but to that degree?

If you're having that bad a time, maybe just decide they're not for you and put the series away? I don't mean that in a jerky way, but Uncharted 2 is generally seen as the best one (UC3 was my favorite of the first three, but that's more for characterization stuff + the ridiculously over the top set pieces) so if you dislike it this much, it might be that it just won't ever be your thing and that's okay.

Don't get me wrong. A part of me knew that the early entries wouldn't be that fun for me because they have all the negative stuff from these years when it came to cover shooters. UC2 has some good puzzles and voice acting is good (Nolan North is amazing). UC2 looks good for a 2009 PS3 game. I think I'll just slap easy instead of normal and breeze through the old ones until I beat UC3.

GameStop have been having specific PS4 Pro trade in deals so you must be working really hard to not notice them promoting the Pro.

I'm not all that pissed about the Pro but if newer releases do suffer considerably in the next couple years it's a signal that next gen people should hold off on buying until the real version comes out.

Same. I ended up getting a launch PS4 because I was still working at GameStop and Sony just gave one to every manager but I was thinking about it and had that not happened, I probably wouldn't be getting one til about now anyway. I've always held off a few years on getting any system.


Dang. :/

As someone that doesn't care all that much about framerate, the fact that I'll lose PT still vastly overwhelms any desire I'd have to go pro.

Nioh's 60 FPS mode is not a pro exclusive thing.

This isn't correct. You can't redownload P.T. but if you transfer an install from an existing system to another one, it'll still be playable with any account that downloaded the game originally.
