New PlayStation 4 Pro patch for Final Fantasy XV makes it look worse

Posted on February 20, 2017 by Xordac Prime

Enlarge / Gosh, can’t you guys look happy in paradise?

Up until today, the massive quest game Final Fantasy XV offered at least one “smooth” visual option for every single platform it’s been released for—meaning, one option with a locked, mostly consistent frame rate. The catch has always been that PlayStation 4 Pro players have had to pick its simplest “lite” toggle (which removes all special visual enhancements) to enjoy this stable 30 frames-per-second refresh.

A new patch for the game went live on Monday, however, and owners of the pricier PlayStation 4 Pro may want to skip it if they dislike video stutter.

Unlike on Xbox One and standard PS4, the PS4 Pro version of FFXV asks players to pick from one of two visual modes. One of these turns up the resolution to somewhere near 1800p and adds other visual effects, but its frame rate is hampered by “frame pacing,” in which its otherwise accurate 30Hz refresh is constantly interrupted by consistent judders. The other, “lite” mode originally dropped the resolution and other elements to nail a locked 30fps.
