Assassin's Creed Syndicate (PS4)

Product Information

An exploration of the Ripper's psyche would not necessarily be a bad thing, but there is little to no motivation or reasoning given for his actions. The interludes where you clomp about in his boots and brutalise the right civilians - but not others - do not heighten the disgust felt when reading the very real descriptions of his murder scenes. It is just a distraction from the add-on's main story and main character, and all in all, something of a misstep. Totilo, Stephen (October 29, 2015).

Firstly, Farming Simulator 17 offers up one of the most exhaustive range of Pro upgrades seen to date but perhaps more importantly, while the game itself is obviously not a triple-A tour de force, we were quite impressed by how comprehensive and polished the simulation actually is - it even supports mods, tweakable field of view and HUD scaling. And it's fast too, not just in frame-rate terms but in its lightning-swift user interface and - yes - the ability to instantly skip past intro logos. Overall then, obviously Farming Simulator 17 isn't standard Digital Foundry fare, but we went into this one with an open mind and came away having had a lot of fun. Farming Simulator 17 has one of the most surprisingly comprehensive Pro upgrades available. Readers' top 50 games of 2015". Eurogamer. December 16, 2016.

Most console titles operate with a 30fps cap, often leaving us to wonder just how much horsepower is left untapped at any given point. Shadow of Mordor is similar to Skyrim in that a native 1080p presentation on base PlayStation 4 hardware evolves into a full-on native 4K on PS4 Pro. In effect, a 2.3x increase to GPU power is producing a 4x increase in resolution - and unlike Skyrim, there's no perceptible hit to performance. There's just one caveat: a dynamic resolution scaler is in play, seamlessly adjusting resolution from 80 per cent of native to full 2160p.

In summary, PlayStation 4 Pro is a curious piece of hardware. At best, with titles like Ratchet and Clank, FIFA 17, Infinite Warfare and Rise of the Tomb Raider, we're looking at a machine capable of handing in a viable 4K gaming experience. Meanwhile, it's interesting to note just how many games are coming in with a 1440p framebuffer. When we built a PC with a GPU running to the PS4 Pro's graphics spec, this did seem to be the natural resolution for the hardware, but we didn't quite expect to see so many titles appear with this exact pixel count.

There's the sense that Ubisoft went into the Pro version of Steep with the very best of intentions. Boosting resolution would be nice, but concentrating Pro resources on frame-rate would surely be the better bet: doubling frame-rate from the base PS4's 30fps to a full-fat 60Hz experience would be a genuine game-changer for a high-speed sports title. It's potentially jarring, but Ubisoft tempers this somewhat through Evie Frye, who remains one of the series' best protagonists. Better written and ultimately more human than her brother - and now middle-aged, but no less athletic - Ubisoft has you experience the Ripper's campaign of fear through her eyes, mature in years as well as in demeanour. One thing especially worthy of praise is how Evie and the expansion in general treat the subject of sex workers, who reappear in the Assassin's Creed series after a deliberate leave of absence.

In terms of performance, the uneven frame-pacing seen on PS4 at launch is now gone, replaced with a standard 30fps cap utilising adaptive v-sync - so you will see tearing when performance dips under its target. Pro keeps the frame-pacing fix and has no tearing at all, running with full v-sync throughout. However, in the game's most taxing areas, this does result in depressed performance compared to the base PlayStation 4 game - something we shouldn't be seeing.Crossley, Rob (November 18, 2015).

Gravity Rush 2 is a fascinating example of how PlayStation developers have access to a range of routes to 4K resolution, and how appealing results can be achieved without having to brute-force out a native 3840x2160 framebuffer. But here's the thing - pixel-counts reveal that the Sony Japan title does indeed resolve full 4K, so what's going on?
