Re: MLB The Show 17 Supports 4K & HDR on PS4 Pro

Just curious... Would I get any of these features with PS4 Slim?

HDR yes , all the other options no.

Anyone else have experience with this set?

Not sure if your TV has true HDR and WCG capability, but some Samsung Tv's you have to manually enable the HDMI setting called "UHD color".

So I've been looking at 4K HDR TVs, but I decided to stick with my current 4K TV WITHOUT HDR. To those looking to grab HDR, please remember that HDR is going to add 20+ ms to your response time. There are 4K TVs with HDR that with both enabled, your response time is 60+ ms... In a game like baseball, that's horrible. I'll stick with my 4K TV that has the fastest (I believe) response time in 4K at 12.6 ms.

That's not a true statement for all Tv's, gamea, and all modes. It's best we wait and see once we get our hands on it rather than male definitive blanket statements.

I guess we probably won't get details/impressions of the Pro Mode options until the embargo lifts? Gonna be very interested in finding out what the frame rates end up being

He said on the stream it was "SLOWER" which I took to mean 30fps.

The 4K option is slower I believe.

High framerate option will not be 30fps.

I would like details on the enhanced option. Not sure if they went in depth during the steam. Hopefully we get some concrete details on every option soon.

In the stream, they made "Enhanced Visuals" seem like it was a sort of middle ground between the 4k and high frame rate options. I believe it was 1440p resolution with a smaller frame rate boost.

EDIT: I looked it up in the stream, and I was wrong about the frame rates. The Enhanced Visuals option will run the same frame rate as the base PS4 but at 1440p, and the 4K option will be slower than than the base PS4.

Just makes for the questions regarding how smooth the final product will be as the base PS4, plus how much smoother the HFR boost will be compared to it.

As for 1440p, I forget how it was from last year, but after seeing the bat jaggies clear as day in this year's game, if 1440p can address that then I'd possibly look to that option. Would be a nice cleanup for sure.

Honestly I think 4K is the only one I wouldn't do for the framerate drop alone.

Yeah, I was a little disappointed to find out about that FPS drop in 4K. I'm still probably going to use it from time to time to show it off because I'm sure it looks absolutely amazing, but I'm guessing most of my playing will be with the High Frame Rate setting and HDR, because frame rate is much more important to me because it actually affects gameplay.

That being said, I think SDS should get some serious praise for deciding to include all these different Pro settings so everyone can get the type of performance boost they prefer.

Sounds like I'll be going advanced visuals but I'll definitely be trying 4k mode to see how the game runs at that frame rate.

Same here. I'm trying all 3 modes. I'm sure this game in 4k HDR will look amazing.

I think that's what I'm going to do as well. I don't have a 4K TV but I was going back and forth between enhanced visuals and higher frame rate. If the frame rate will be just like the base PS4 when it's on the enhanced visuals mode I'll definitely be using that since the game looked smooth during most of the streams.

This is most likely what will end up happening for me as well.

If they can pull off capped 30 fps in 4k with no dips, it could be worth trying to acclimate to, but it will be hard to turn down the higher FPS options especially if 1440p provides a decently cleaned up image

I'm not gonna say it would be impossible to play a baseball game at a locked 30 FPS (though some would, it's entirely a preference thing). But frame pacing would be all important if that were the case - it would border on unplayable if there was any "judder" at all when the camera moves.

Sure would look pretty in 4k, though, provided your TV/monitor is capable of it.

Yeah. Not all "30 fps locked" are created equal, that's for sure. If it was smooth I might be able to live with it. I dunno tho

Im just thinking out loud really, just can't wait to get the game and see it for myself
