Improved As Fuck. What else.
It's improved Anisotropic Filtering which makes ground textures look sharper at a flat angle and at a longer distance.
For example, this is the difference between no AF and 16x AF
Do you miss any? The game looks great and runs very smooth. Besides, it's so fast, you wouldn't notice any improvements anyway.
So resolution bumps, extra detail and FR improvements are all possibilities with a pro patch for VR games. Getting even one of these things isn't guaranteed, hence why I thought it would be worth mentioning.

Yeah, I saw those long ago. They're 1080p. In fact, the only difference is in the shadows setting. So from this evidence, the Pro support in Darksiders II consists only of a (slightly) improved shadows mode that you can turn off if you want.
This makes no sense, so I've assumed that there are other things that simply aren't visible in this one screenshot. But I haven't been able to find more screens to analyze.

So, Darksiders 2 is part of next month's PS+ line-up, and I noticed it isn't listed on the PRO support list here. Didn't it get PRO enhancements, or am I mistaken? If so, what's it like on PRO, y'all?
Edit: Ah, it appears my question has already been answered. It's a shame we only get better shadows on PRO. Quite a lacklustre effort, I would say.

I just noticed it's only listed in the Boost Mode section in the OP. It should come under Pro-enhanced, right? Even if the only difference is the inclusion of the shadow quality option.
Once the game goes on PS+, I'm sure we'll have a lot more samples for it. Right now Liabe simply hasnt been able to get enough material from it to make a final assessment.
But it is a Pro-enhanced game, the shadow quality option is Pro-exclusive. It's simply in the wrong section in the OP.

This is a state other games have been in too, just for shorter times. I don't like to add anything to the main list that I'm missing data on. But you're right that it's misleading to keep it in Boost for so long, though. I should probably remove it completely until I find something.
Well... for someone who knows what AF stands for.
From none to 16x AF I must agree, improved as fu** is absolutely correct.
Wow this is amazing work, thank you. Recently picked up a Pro to replace my aging launch console and it's great as a current 1080p gamer to have a guide like this showing the differences I can expect.
Everyone was Sora.
Check out my thread too if you want to see which games don't downsample for 1080p displays.
I have an Xbox one s and a PS4 pro but my tv only has one port that can handle 4k and HDR10. I rarely watch 4k blu-rays, so I have my pro hooked up to the hdmi 2.0a port.
If I want to watch a blu-ray (which is honestly once in a blue moon) is there an hdmi switch I can buy that will suit my needs? I don't have the budget for an expensive A/V receiver right now, so it would have to be something more affordable. Just wondering.

What. Is that it? I read previously epic promised a 4K Rez (cb orbotherwise). This can't be the final enhancement surely.
The worst part is even if you disable the enhanced shadows on your Pro, the game still runs way worse than the vanilla PS4 version.
Liabe Brave cross posting from the XBX Skyrim/Fallout patch topic, here's some screens from Skyrim PS4 with the latest patch, can you determine with these if they introduced any dynamic scaling ? To my eye balls, it looks the same as before. Performance is also pretty good, they must've ironed out the launch-time kinks which caused the performance to drop below OG PS4.

Thanks very much for these! All of them* show native 3840x2160 with no signs of reconstruction. And I specifically counted verticals and horizontals, to rule out any anamorphic scaling as well. Obviously these are a small part of the game, but since they cover a variety of views with geometry both close and far from the camera, and reflective and volumetric effects onscreen, I'd say there's likely no dynamic scaling involved. Looks like the game is still flat native 4K.
*Except the motion blurred shot, which is pretty uncountable
I have ordered a PS4 pro and moved all my installed games on my current PS4 to my extended drive.
I will just have to add the drive to my new PS4 pro (after logging in and making it my primary) and the games will start updating while the Pro is in rest mode or do I need to update manually?
Or are the games already enhanced through earlier updates on my regular PS4 and I can start testing directly?

I didn't realize he got it, for some reason I'm not updated on this thread like the others I'm following. Well this makes me happy. Hope you enjoy it Liabe and to the people who made it possible, you all are awesome!
Today I learned that for the past year, since getting the Pro, I have been using it on 2.4Ghz wifi even though my router supports 5Ghz. Just on a whim (because I was shopping for cat 6 cables) I decided to just check it .. and yep it was connected to my 2.4Ghz network.
So .. I changed it to 5Ghz and just to test it out popped in the Doom disc to download the 18GB update (yes it's really that large if you don't have them installed) and holy freaking crap. The difference in what I was getting before to now is immense. Even the PSN internet test went from 24MBps to 96MBps, much closer to my 100MBps connection, I have been under utilizing my network and complaining about PSN download speeds when all along it was my fault. Sigh.
Anyway, y'all should definitely make sure you're connected via 5Ghz Wifi if your routers support it. It makes a *HUGE* difference.

^ I really can't recommended ethernet enough.
There's no excuse about the router being too far away these days when these exist.

Yeah I've looked at some of those. The only thing I'm worried about is that I'm moving to a new house which was built in the 70's and I'm not sure whether the wiring there would be able to work with these devices adequately. I've read that older wiring can cause degradation in power line adapter strength.
When you move you could possibly buy a pair of adapters, and return them if they aren't adequate enough for you?
I'm lucky that my setup allows me to have my Pro literally centimetres away from my router, so it's hooked up with ethernet, same as my PS3. I swear by it.
5Ghz generally has a lot more rapid loss in signal strength so if your router is some distance away from the console and if there's electronics in the path (like fridges, microwaves,even phones),it would have expected loss. So if you're able to move either of the things, router or console, to a different area you might be big gains.
That's the plan. I'll get some from best buy and check it out.
My place was built in the early 80s and I don't have any trouble with those Tlink adapters. Hopefully you'll be fine.
Hey thanks for the heads up. I was actually told the opposite from the guy who installed my internet but what you're saying makes more sense from my experience. I want to get a longer cable but i just haven't gotten around to it yet.
My PLC's work Ok in my home but I have some weird static in my sound system because of them.
Can anyone help me with some instructions on how to remove the hard drive cover on the ps4 pro? I'm losing my mind here. I don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing and why this is so difficult. Do I simply pull the tab towards me as hard as I can? It won't budge.
Yes. I hated doing it, it felt like it was going to snap for sure.
Someone from Naughty Dog confirmed on the PS Blog today that PS2 titles run better on a Pro. They had zero other information, but they made a point to mention that the Pro ran PS2 on PS4 games better.
Doubt it honestly, I don't remember the Jak games running that bad if at all back in the day so I don't know what they could be benefiting from. Psychonauts was a bad port for the ps2 and it's bad for PS4, and Metal Slug retained the terrible heavy input lag from the ps2 as well.
This is a thing? I've swapped the HDD on 3 Pro systems so far and I never felt this way.
Doubt all you want but its pretty simple, isn't it? Pro's boost mode means those PS2 games will have better load times and access to slightly more CPU and GPU. Better doesn't mean it will be a massive difference, though. Just better.
Are you so sure? Because Skyrim on the X uses dynamic res. I have great doubt Bethesda has ironed out performance issue on Pro without change the res. I'm leaning to believe they haven't fixed anything. Keep in mind Fallout has practically the same fps difference between the pro and X seen on Skyrim between ps4 base vs pro. The only real difference is that fps is practically locked on Skyrim on base ps4 where on Fallout is unstable everywhere. I doubt Bethesda care to fix 2/3 fps of drops on Pro in Skyrim, knowing their background.Liabe Brave cross posting from the XBX Skyrim/Fallout patch topic, here's some screens from Skyrim PS4 with the latest patch, can you determine with these if they introduced any dynamic scaling ?

The drops were fixed with a patch a while ago afaik. Not the recent one.
