Naughty Dog: With PS4 Pro We Can Realize the Full Potential of the Image, HDR Is an Enormous Benefit

After Sony announced the new PlayStation 4 Pro, due for release on November 10th for $/€ 399, it is only natural that many PlayStation gamers take been fantasizing about the comeback that Naughty Dog's games could go. After all, their titles have always been the very best bachelor on PlayStation platforms in terms of graphics due to the prowess of their artists and coders, thus it'south easy to imagine them shining even brighter on the new, more powerful hardware.

Both The Terminal of Us Remastered and Uncharted 4: A Thief'southward Finish will take advantage of PS4 Pro when it launches, and Lead Developer Christian Gyrling talked with VG247 to explicate the benefits.

Nosotros've never been able to intentionally show the range of colours nosotros have here. I mean, they wanted to but they couldn't actually do it. At present, nosotros're really allowing specially our lighters but as well all of the artists to create content that is pushing the boundaries over the restriction that was there earlier.

They're also knowing they can do that without having to restrict things downward. We accept colour grading, nosotros accept all these various things like tone mapping to brand sure we're nonetheless getting all the colours we want simply within the existing HDTV color spec. Knowing we tin do more, like why should nosotros only apply the dull colour of light-green when we tin can use the actually, really bright ane? We're non really doing that, but now we can realise the full potential of the image.

We're really excited to start with that procedure from the ground up; the artistic choice can be in the hands of the artist even more. HDR games from now on, moving forward – I think about every single game will start supporting HDR. This is the future. Nosotros see little to no reason to not support this. It'due south almost no cost, shut to zero price, to expose the HDR… merely it's an enormous benefit.

Of form, to truly witness those improvements you'll demand a 4K HDR Television set and there are few of those in the homes right now. However, are you lot planning to get Sony's beefed up PlayStation 4 in about ii months from at present? Tell us in the comments.
