Da Sony annonserte Playstation 4 Pro, fikk vi også vite at både kommende og allerede lanserte spill vil bli oppdatert til den sterkere konsollen.
Blant de gamle spillene som vil få en oppdatering, finnes vi Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. I en samtale med VG247 forteller programmerer Christian Gyrling fra developer Naughty Dog at dette vil gi enda bedre innlevelse. Han trekker frem HDR som spesielt spennende:
"We've never been able to intentionally show the range of colours we have here. I mean, they wanted to but they couldn't really do it. Now, we're really allowing especially our lighters but also all of the artists to create content that is pushing the boundaries over the restriction that was there before.
They're also knowing they can do that without having to restrict things down. We have colour grading, we have all these various things like tone mapping to make sure we're still getting all the colours we want but within the existing HDTV colour spec. Knowing we can do more, like why should we only use the dull colour of green when we can use the really, really bright one? We're not really doing that, but now we can realise the full potential of the image.
We're really excited to start with that process 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 almost every single game will start supporting HDR. This is the future. We see little to no reason to not support this. It's almost no cost, close to zero cost, to expose the HDR... but it's an enormous benefit."
Det er imidlertid verdt å merke seg at for å få denne opplevelsen er det ikke nok med en Playstation 4 Pro, du må også ha en HDR-kompatibel TV.
