Digital Foundry: The Last of Us Part 2: PS4 Pro Tech Preview! - 4K

I guess their engine probably doesn't play well with it. Being first party, I'm sure they explored every avenue available.
Also, Sony's ICE Team is situated at Naughty Dog (iirc); so yeah, this is probably what works best for their tech.
1440p again? So, over 2x compute leads to ~70% more pixels. This is really strange and usually something associated with poor 3rd party ports. I wonder if the bandwidth is the limitation here?
It's not high resolution. It's on the lower boundary of PS4 Pro ports.

My assumption is either its a memory bandwidth bottleneck, or they rather run their games in native resolution due to artistic choices
Would be my assumption too, interesting that the base PS4 is used for developing TLOU 2.
Native 1080p at 30fps, ND said that the target platform is still base PS4.
game has great graphics so playing at 1440p is completely fine.
I am, however, looking forward to the inevitable ps5 60fps patch more so than any res bump
also hopefully this updated engine supports better HDR than their previous work.
seriously resolution is the least thing I'm concerned about here

We do not mention it, but there is something odd regarding the released official "captured on a PS4Pro" screenshots. 4K images but they definitely do not count out to 1440p - probably just a marketing blunder.
Not surprising really, majority of PS4 owners are base users so its only natural they'd try to achieve a stable build on that.
These are "heavily undersampled then" - as in below 1440p.
I'm a resolution whore (hence I invested so much in a PC this year) but this is a stunning looking game. It's clear that instead of upping the resolution they focused that resource on improving everything else instead. Looks a good leap forward from Uncharted 4/TLL, especially shadow quality.
Will be able to enjoy the 4K experience on PS5. The question is whether I can resist the hype and simply wait to play this game in all its PS5 glory. Probably not.
The game was developed with base PS4 in mind. Probably more time and optimization to go for a higher res or checker boarding technique.
I wish they would do what Bluepoint did with Shadow of the Colossus that game looks clean as hell. Oh well.

Setting expectations lower so as to wow the players later. That's one way to go about it :p
Maybe the 'Photo Mode' will be at a higher resolution, with better effects... Gives them a get out with the 'Captured on PS4 Pro' statement as well.
It's going to look amazing whatever the res :)

Yeah, I noticed that they looked unusually soft and blurry. They actually looked like 1080p resolution screens blown up to 4K.

We most definitely will ... but I cannot, will not and do not have the will to wait that long, lol.
Me too, but I hope given the enhanced BC stuff that it'll just be a patch for people who own the PS4 version. I know it's lost revenue, but it'd certainly be one of the reasons I'd pick a PS5 over a Scalett at launch. I'll be honest, I'm certainly thinking of going with Xbox at launch this time, due to how excited I am for Halo Infinite. If I get free upgrades for the plethora of awesome looking PS4 games coming out in the last year of the system, I'll be thinking twice about that decision...
Man, that bitrate is insane! The details really do pop out when one is not trying to ascertain texture or image quality from YT videos.
It would be interesting to see whether ND will go for completely fixed/native resolution or whether they will have some form DR in the final game and in fact whether DR would be a consideration for their engines next generation with HW supported VRS.
Also Dictator - Sie haben recht insofar as the pronunciation of "Wolfenstein" is concerned. John and Tom can suck it :P

Flat 1440p res bump is super disappointing tbh even with such amazing visual. If the base system is 1080p 30 then it looks like they did minimal work to suppose the pro. Was hoping for temporal injection like ratchet at the very least which is supposed to be cheap to do. Or they can offer dynamic res up to 4k in less demanding situations or AMD RIS sharpening at the very least. Some body tweet the Druckman!
