The ps4 pro vids look overly saturated or something, for me at least. Why is that?

Performance is good on both consoles. Minor drops on Pro at 4K sometimes and a few ones on PS4 (though I've only played this version a couple of jours).

Story, haven't seen enough of it to say. It's a lot more engaging than anything they've fine with Killzone.

From your experience would you recommend playing on hard or normal difficulty for the first time? Is it enjoyable on hard or annoying? Some games are so much better on harder difficulties while others are not

Hard is ok, at least so far, though it took me several tries to beat the first boss. ^^

Ok, i think im gonna go with hard. Btw does the game say what are the differences on each difficulty? Hopefully human AI becomes more perceptive because some reviews said its not very good especially compared to the machines ai

Thanks for these. Guerrila really need to be commended for producing a visually spectacular game, that excels in technical foundations and aesthetic beauty. Going to keep this one for my birthday.

This is kinda weird but what's up with the dithering effect on the bottom corners of the screen? The only other game i noticed this was rise of the tomb rait but it was on the top corners instead. What's the point of this effect?

Oops, replied to xoar by accident

Man, youtube does not make this game justice. Due to the low bitrate the vegetation/grass looks blurry as hell, which is sad, because it's one of the most impressive things in the game's graphics.

HDR.

No, no, no and no.

HDR is always deactivated when we capture the games, because it simply can't be turn on with our setup.

I wish i had an HDR tv. I bought a standard 4k tv recently because my old one broke and at that time i was unaware of how awesome Hdr is.

Plus to get an HDR TV that actually does HDR WELL you have to spend a bit of an arm and a leg. There are plenty of "mid-tier" 4K sets that do HDR but it's not worth it. Need to spend a bit of dough to get a worthwhile HDR set. At least here in the states. I know Europe has access to some brands that we don't.

So dodgy capture then? Oversaturated colours is what a HDR image always looks like on a standard screen. That's what the video looks like. Just sayin.

Same setup as usual. Console video output on full, like on our base PS4 For Honor vids or today's FFXV vids for example. That's how the game looked on the TV.

Strange. It definitely does look blown out. Is the TV a HDR 4k set?

weird because it definitely doesnt look right. Like if you enable the BT.2020 color space when not supported.
