Early PS4 Pro Owner Shares 4K Uncompressed Screenshots of CoD: Infinite Warfare & Uncharted 4

Juniper Roth, the original early PS4 Pro owner, is back with a vengeance. Upon request of boyfriend gamers eager to see more of the new console (which will officially release next week), the lucky PS4 Pro owner posted several uncompressed screenshots of Phone call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Uncharted four: A Thief'southward End captured at 4K (3840x2160) resolution.

This is pretty much the best way to assess the visual quality of PlayStation 4 Pro brusk of actually owning the console. Later on the patch released two days ago, Uncharted 4 runs at 1440P (2560x1440) upscaled to 4K on PS4 Pro; the game also supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) if you lot own a compatible display, just unfortunately in that location'south no proper mode to showcase that kind of improvement via normal screenshots or videos.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare doesn't support HDR, but it does support 4K via the increasingly popular checkerboard rendering technique. Last month, Eurogamer'due south Digital Foundry analyzed the game'southward preview build and came to the post-obit conclusions:

During rapid gameplay, its use of checkerboard rendering combines with a temporal anti-aliasing pass to produce uncommonly clean lines - and this AA method helps to disguise some of these artefacts. The downside here is that this AA as well adds a faintly visible banding artifact of its own to panning shots at points. On balance though, in motion the PS4 Pro turned in a night-and-day upgrade in clarity over what nosotros experienced on the standard PS4. The combination of sitting at a reasonable distance away from the screen combined with 4K'due south pixel counts makes the checkerboard artefacts very difficult to pick out visually.

In conclusion, what nosotros saw of Infinite Warfare on PlayStation 4 Pro looks promising - the game is clearly very impressive visually, and it was practiced to get eyes-on with some other title using Sony's new upscaling applied science. The overall impression is that the Pro is capable of effectively making utilise of the extra pixel density on offer from 4K displays - information technology may non be a precise 3840x2160'southward worth of pristine detail, only it's conspicuously a striking upgrade over standard 1080p.

Now you can estimate with your own optics.
