Will FS17 have a PS4 Pro Enhanced mode?

[Rbk_3]

I am getting the PS4 Pro and have not heard any mention as to whether there would be a PS4 Pro Enhanced mode.
Particularly, it would be great if they could up the draw distance, as that is the biggest technical issue I find with the game. With the PS4 Pro supporting Sata 3, I have bought a SSD to put in it hoping that will maybe help improve the draw distance as well.

Bumping this hoping Stegei or one of the Giants guys will see this.

Stegei has said there will be a pro mode. Problem is, he also said, rather bizarrely, that it would lower the(already shoddy)performance. Sony won't allow that so it may never see the light of day.

Where did you read that Sony won't allow that?

On their FAQ I see the following, which suggests to me developers can do as this wish in regards to enhanced Pro mode.

PS4 Pro is a high-end version of PS4 that is capable of outputting 4K graphics, HDR support, smoother and more stable framerates, and 4K video streaming. Upon its launch, PS4 Pro will make supported PS4 games look better and run more smoothly, while giving developers an upgraded toolset to create even richer, more detailed game worlds. How these powerful new tools are used is up to individual developers and the experience they are creating.

1080p versions of the game will have to run at least at the same fps as the standard ps4 game, don't know about 4k versions. How do you think a game as basic looking as fs17 were to arrive on Sony's ps4pro desk running worse than the ps4 version, whilst only looking marginally better. It would land in the bin, and rightly so.

One more bump.

Looks like Sony announced a list of PS4 Pro Launch games and FS 17 isn't one of them

Says 45 more will be optimized for the Pro by the end of the year, so hopefully, just maybe.

Whats the point of pro? Its only for high quality Output and 4k screens thats it

It's graphics card is 2x the power of the PS4. I have a 4K HDR TV, that's why I am buying it.

Wait, are you saying that FS17 doesn't even run at 1080p on the PS4???

No I believe he is saying if the base PS4 game is 1080P say 60FPS target, than the PS4 Pro Mode at 1080P must also target 60 FPS, it can't target 30FPS.

I heard enough of your console bashing in your stream waiting for the game to come out, no need to bring you PC Master Race Elitism into a PS4 thread.

I have the money to build a beastly PC if I wanted to, but I prefer the console experience, K?

Rbk_3 answered your question for me.

FS17 is running on 1080p on PS4. The PS4 Pro will run the game at more stable framerates at 1080p (if it is not limited by the CPU, e.g. if heavy physics calculations need to be done). What I meant in my other post, is, that it obviously will run slower at 4k than at 1080p, so we give you the option to choose which ever you prefer.

So happy to hear this! Thanks for answering this thread. Been looking at it every hour it seems.

3 questions:

1. When do you expect it to be available?
2. Will the 1080P pro mode have increased draw distances? I personally would take some of the gained power used for a more stable frame rate to increase the draw distance.
TBH I have never really had an issue with the framerate, my biggest peeve with the console versions is the field popping in 30 metres down field.
3. Slots, Pro I believe has an extra GB of ram, does that mean we will get some more slots?


Thanks again for answering.
