    The game runs at 60 frames on pro but not locked so there are occasional frame rate dips but I only noticed it once. I also noticed that there is virtually no pop in with the pro as compared to the beta I had on Xbox one anyways. As for official patched in support such as 4k ubisoft announced a while ago they were supporting the PS4 pro they just haven't revealed when and what exactly to expect.

    As for the controls, it is a fairly common complaint so I think it's justifiable to assume things will probably get tightened up. In the meantime however you do get used to them. Timing the jump is tough at first because it does feel like you have to release earlier than maybe you should. My 2 biggest tips are:
    1. Don't hold up on the left stick. It will screw up your jump every time.
    2. Speed really matters. The game is meant to punish you if you go too fast. In real life the faster you go the less control you have and the surface youre on also effects control severely. Watch the documentary higher on Netflix and you'll see what I mean. The tip is to speed check with the right analog stick to help control the g meter. After a big slope or big jump press down on the right stick to turn your board sideways and you'll slow down just enough to gain control back. You see it in real life all the time in the xgames or dew tour before guys do jumps to control speed. You cannot just go full boar down the mountain like ssx in this game and honestly that's a good thing.

      I've done ok with the jumps, because the game tells you right away what the ideal release point is. And yeah, slowing down is crucial, especially if you want any chance of doing grinds, or if you're on a bumpier part of the mountain. I typically only press up on the LS when I have a clear path to a decent jump, and even then I let go of it well before I hit the ramp so I have time to get myself set for the trick.

      Now if I could just teach my brain to stop doing the same tricks over and over, lol.

        I might be interested in this game once it drops to $30 or lower, possibly as soon as after Christmas. The demo did little for me.

            any thoughts on skiing in the game? That's my main interest. I was hoping a game like snow or this one would include one of my fav winter sports ski jumping!
            But can you get a decent downhill vibe?

              Ski jumping would be cool. I personally think skiing is cool. Id like the ability to make slalom courses though.

                  Let me know if you find a demo cause I couldn't find one (PS4). Maybe he was referencing the beta from earlier this year.

                        Am I missing something...why was this game not set up as a VR game or at least offer a VR mode? Would have sold a lot more copies if it was VR.

                          Playing this on PC at 1440p Ultra. The only thing I dislike really are the LODs of trees. The snowy ones are bad and I hope they fix them.

                          Because yeah this game is underrated to me. A solid 9/10 when they get the Alaska DLC up and running.

                            I bought it on a sale for 40 at gamestop on a whim. Didn't really know much about it except that technically it was pretty solid with nice graphics and great mountain environment. Pleasantly surprised that this is actually a very solid game. It's really just a mountain riding simulator with some wingsuit action to boot. I'm most impressed by the seamless load times and the gameplay is pretty easy to get into and there are countless challenges to take on. Some are better than others and I think the game is a little vague on how the scoring works. I wish I could have more control over the landings after jumping. Some of the controls could be tighter for sure. Love the exploration part of it. Makes me feel like a real backcountry trailblazer and the little cinematics here and there help flesh it all out. All in all, I think this is a surprisingly good game. You can play for a while or just a quick sesh while waiting for the wife to get ready.
