Playstation 4 Pro Review: ACTUALLY AMAZING

The PS4 Pro is an updated more powerful version of the PS4, but is it really that much better?

With the Playstation 4 Pro, Sony added in some more powerful hardware to their game console, and added some big features. The biggest new feature for the PS4 Pro is the ability to play in 4K UHD (ultra high definition) resolution, as well as HDR. However, the regular PS4 will also get a software update to support HDR. I found the PS4 Pro to produce amazing visuals when 4K HDR is enabled; games looked great. Though if you don't have a 4K TV, you won't really get much benefit from this PS4 upgrade.

there's always that one guy in the comments who says to get a pc.

Pro always rocks but some idiots will never understand alll jealousy... Lol

1080p users can get better performance in games that would usually run at 30 fps you can change a setting ingame to favor higher frame rate to get 60fps which is a must in my opinion

Thiojoe I understand the PS4:

Can play 4k video
Supports HDR
Has Bluetooth 4.0
Has 8Gb of Ram
But is it valid in Yugoslavia?

i need a life hack that make my ps4 too a ps4 pro

[HnrikClausn]

i dont have a 4k tv. but i traded my old ps4 in for a discount price on ps4 pro. Was worth the money for the performance boost :)

[nofear]

I'm guessing they didn't include 4K blu-ray cuz barely anyone will use it, and to keep cost down.

Hey Thio! I really love your videos, but I feel like they're getting kinda boring... If I look at your views you currently make, that's pretty bad for a 1M YouTuber... Can you make your videos a bit more "dynamic"? Just some small touches like adding some background music, editing the video a bit fancier, some cool backgrouds... You have the skills and the equipment, so make the best out of it! If you need some inspiration, I could recommend MKBHD (I like how he structures his videos) or search for "FelixBa" (he's German, but he really makes awesome, inspiring stuff). I don't want you to become MKBHD or so, but just give the videos a little, fresh touch. Thanks!

WHAT!! No tips on how to turn my old PS4 into the Pro for FREE!!?? lol

[premlaseraphim]

Nice explanation. Although very technical, it is still comprehensible since it is well-visualized. Thank you, Sir.

GameStop had a deal that you bring your old PS4 and you get the Pro for less than half the price. I did that, and have been happy. It was quite literally a hardware upgrade, rather than me buying a new console and have the old one gathering dust as a paperweight. So far I have had zero problems with the Pro.

This is the best PS4 Pro review I have watched. Complete, non-banter, non-bias and I love the technical explanation you've provided. It's on point and easy to understand. Congrats, Joe.

[BrickTamlandOfficial]

even if it has no UHD bluray, it can still download 4k files and play them. who the hell uses discs?

[ShadiFagihi]

How is video not getting 1million views? it answers all my questions I've been looking for the past month which most youtubers don't show the technical stuff as you mentonied. You got your self a subber!

I'm glad that your channel is real now because I used to always forget that your old videos were fake and I literally fell for all of them and almost half didn't work. I don't know how you made everything on this channel real now but I went back and tried the one's that didn't work before and wouldn't you know it they all now work. My internet is fucking fast now. Holy shit

Great video. The graphics on the playstation 4 pro should look a little better on a 1080p, one thing that you didn't explain was that the pro has an additional 500GB of storage which made the purchase little more desirable, when considering a hard drive swap.

[CrossplatformGamerMasterRace]

"Xbox One S is basically the equivalent of the PS4 Pro" no it's the equivalent of the PS4 Slim, the Scorpio will be the equivalent of the Pro.
Sony do sell 4K Blu Ray players that's why.. also get a cut of every Blu Ray drive sold.

Also $400 dollars to upgrade... you giving that old console away for free, derp!

[DetergentSwitch]

Awesome review!! You did a wonderful job of explaining all the technical aspects! Thanks a ton!

[GatTooFreshy]

you said you have a ps4 pro but where it at doe

[spacemarine]

Excellent review, telling each person if it's worth upgrading is The most important topic in the whole PS4 Pro scenario.
