Well now, let me tell ya, I been sittin’ here thinkin’ ’bout this game, Watch Dogs 2, and how it runs on them fancy PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro consoles. I ain’t no tech wizard or nothin’, but I’ll try to explain it in a way folks like me can understand, so don’t go expectin’ all them fancy terms. Just follow me, and I’ll tell ya what I know.
First off, you got the regular PS4. Now, it ain’t too shabby, but if you’re lookin’ for that high-end, crispy, 4K kinda picture, well, you might find it a little bit lacking. Watch Dogs 2 on PS4 looks alright, but it ain’t gonna knock your socks off. It runs at 1080p, which is fine for most folks, but when you start really lookin’ close, the textures can seem a little blurry, and the frame rate, well, it don’t always stay as smooth as you’d like. You might see some jagged edges here and there, and the details in the game world ain’t as sharp as they could be.
Now, let me tell ya ’bout that PS4 Pro. Oh boy, that’s a whole different beast. If you got yourself a 4K TV, then you’re in for a treat. The PS4 Pro can handle them 4K graphics, and Watch Dogs 2 on it looks a whole lot better. The picture’s sharper, them buildings look like you could reach out and touch ’em, and the lights and shadows really pop. But don’t get too excited just yet, ’cause not everything’s perfect.
You see, while the PS4 Pro does handle 4K better, it don’t always lock in a steady frame rate. Sometimes, you might notice the game stutterin’ a little bit, especially when you’re runnin’ through big, busy areas with lots of stuff happenin’. But, for the most part, the Pro does give ya a better, cleaner image than the regular PS4. It’s just a little bit more stable and a whole lot sharper.
Graphics and Resolution:
- PS4: 1080p resolution, decent graphics, but not the best. Things can get a little blurry sometimes.
- PS4 Pro: 4K resolution, sharper textures, better overall image quality. If you got a 4K TV, you’re gonna see the difference right away.
Frame Rate:
- PS4: Runs at about 30 frames per second, which is alright for most folks, but it ain’t always buttery smooth. Sometimes it can dip when there’s a lot goin’ on in the game.
- PS4 Pro: Still runs around 30 frames per second most of the time, but with that 4K upgrade, you might notice some frame drops here and there. It ain’t perfect, but it’s better than the regular PS4 in some cases.
And then, there’s the little things. On the PS4, them character models can look a bit strange sometimes. Them folks you run into on the street don’t always look like real people, more like somebody slapped a face on a cardboard cutout. But, on the PS4 Pro, them folks look a little bit better, more realistic. The game world, too, looks more detailed with the Pro, like the buildings, the cars, and even the trees—they look fuller and more lifelike.
NPCs and Environment:
- PS4: NPCs can look a little funny, and the environment ain’t as detailed as it could be. Things can look a bit flat from a distance.
- PS4 Pro: NPCs look more like real people, and the environment’s way more detailed. Things look sharper, and the world feels more alive.
Now, if you ain’t got a 4K TV, then I reckon you might not notice much of a difference between the PS4 and the PS4 Pro, except maybe in the speed of how the game loads up. The Pro’s got a faster processor and a beefier GPU, so things load up a little quicker. But if you ain’t got that fancy TV, then you might not feel the full effect of the Pro’s power.
So, if you’re just sittin’ on the regular PS4 and you’re happy with how Watch Dogs 2 looks and plays, well, there ain’t no need to rush out and buy the PS4 Pro. But if you’re lookin’ for a better picture, more detailed world, and smoother playin’ on a 4K TV, then the PS4 Pro might just be the way to go. It ain’t perfect, but it’s a big ol’ jump up from the regular PS4.
Summary:
- If you got a regular PS4, Watch Dogs 2 is still fun, but it ain’t gonna knock your socks off with them fancy graphics.
- If you got a PS4 Pro and a 4K TV, you’re gonna see a whole lot more detail and sharper graphics, but it still ain’t perfect. Sometimes it stutters a bit.
- If you ain’t got a 4K TV, then the PS4 Pro might not be worth the extra cost, but the Pro still loads games faster and runs a bit smoother.
That’s about all I can say on the matter. Both consoles do the job, but if you want that high-end, crystal-clear experience, then you might wanna think about shellin’ out for that PS4 Pro. Either way, Watch Dogs 2 is still a fun game, no matter how you play it!
