Resolution is dynamic 4K.

Well, the PS4 Pro is a much less capable machine than the Xbox One X. For a mid generational upgrade for enthusiasts the Pro feels really half baked. If they waited a year it would be much better.
Well you did just say it didn't you?
And the answer is always the same: You can't say that because you don't know the reasoning behind it, and because it's insulting to the people working on the game.
OP
OP
Different engines different requirements on a game to game basis. We don't know if the pro's limitations could cause them to leave it locked 1080p to keep it at 60fps. Is bluepoint lazy devs since shadow of the colossus runs at 1080p 60fps too? 60fps isn't a easy thing to hold
don't we need to wait for a PS5 launch before we call the Pro half baked? if the PS5 launches in 2019 then it might look fine as a mid-gen refresh.

Hope you're being sarcastic because that didn't stop Bungie from giving the Destiny 2 port the 4K xboX treatment.
Blizzard's pro support is pathetic. Regardless of parity with X1X, slapping 4K UI on the pro version and calling it a day is a little cheap. Considering how optimized OW is, the pro features are probably the most bare on the system.
That's bait.
I feel Pro could handle this game at a higher resolution though. I'm not a dev though. My armchair is broke ATM.
When people are supposedly spreading misinformation about the game according to Mike. It's kinda news.
EDIT: Send me the link to it being dynamic from a credible source. I would like to check it out.
Well the Xbox one X is late and expensive.
Seems silly to make blanket statements with no context.
I'm sure the pro could be updated, but I blame Sony as much as Blizzard on this one. If they didn't put out such lackluster hardware, it wouldn't be so difficult to put in a small amount of resources to upres to 4K. Now they probably have to implement dynamic resolution scaling, checkerboard, all this shit for a very small percentage of users.
I wonder how much the dev tools are factoring into these differences, it seems like the biggest thing Microsoft learned from Sony's one year headstart was that the dev tools were maybe a hindrance in getting these updates done and so Microsoft went above and beyond to simplify that process with their dev tools.
The base PS4 sticks mostly to 1080p at 60 in Overwatch. The Pro can definitely do better that but obviously not up to the X standard. Here's hoping Blizzard revisits the Pro in Overwatch at some point.
I don't think it's about lazyness the game already had dynamic resolution on console versions. If anything it was extra work to separate the UI resolution from the main game so they could render the UI in 4k at all times.
My guess is that they couldn't hit a much higher resolution on Pro and decided that it made more visual impact having the UI at 4k. And then, perhaps separating UI from main render broke the resolution scaler which led them to chose sticking it to 1080p so the 60fps was not compromised.
I would hope they could squeeze something more out on the pro given it is a pretty substantial upgrade over the base PS4. It's true though, the X is a more powerful machine so maybe it was "easy" for them to get it running at dynamic 4K. Maybe I'll buy this game now, lol.
lol the PS4 Pro GPU is over twice as powerful as the base PS4 GPU. If a developer can't figure out how to use that power to get a higher resolution, it's on the developer, not the console. Slapping a 4K UI on it and calling it a Pro patch is pretty much the definition of a lazy developer.
If I got a 4K TV I think I would update to the Xbox One X with the way these ports are turning out
Its quite possible that it's not capable of better.
I mean, its more expensive than the half step that is the pro, but I certainly don't regret dropping 5 on it when I look at what it would take up upgrade my old pc to even match it.

Late with regards to what? Have you seen PC part prices lately? The X is a relative bargain for the performance you get.
The Pro is, almost certainly, just not capable of this. The hardware and price difference should be enough for any reasonable person to look at that and not expect the same support or parity across both platforms.
OW should at least be 1440p on the Pro. MS obviously paid for a patch much like they did for TW3 (which is fine, studios need to be taken care of).
Following this logic, we have to blame Nintendo for putting out such lackluster hardware with the Switch, or even Microsoft and Sony with OGs Xbox One and PS4.
I read somewhere that the Pro uses 2 GPUs (which are the same Gpu as the one used in the Ps⁴, but beefed up, right?)
Does anyone know if Overwatch PC is multi-GPU compatible? Perhap the lack of support on Ps⁴ Pro is because of the engine not supporting multi-gpu, I wonder.

Even at double the power of the PS4, it really shouldn't be hitting 4k on most games unless they want to harm the frame rate.
Even downsampling make 4k games look much cleaner and sharper on a 1080p screen
Only after they started working on the X patch and it only got it before X because X wasn't out yet.
How many of you that are saying it's a half assed attempt by blizzard and DICE for battlefield are a actual developers or programmers? You sound ridiculous. If you break your leg are you gonna tell the surgeon that he could've done a better job putting it back together? "6 months of healing time!? Lazy surgeon could've done it in 3 like my friends arm break."
