So apparently you need the Pro to play this properly. For fucking fuck's sake.

Overall, it's no surprise that the best way to play The Last Guardian is on PlayStation 4 Pro, but it's still a shame the original PS4 struggles as much as it does. The 20-30fps performance profile is a clear upgrade over the 'cinematic' presentation seen in Shadow of the Colossus, but it's still way off the pace compared to what we've come to expect from a modern PS4 title.

Game performance is historically meant to get better over the course of a console's life until we reach the very end of the cycle, not worse. Are we now saying that the PS4 is finished three years in?

Well, I was never too bothered by the frame rate in Shadow of the Colossus (in fact, I am doing playthrough right now, and doing fine), so I guess I won't have too much of a problem with this, either.

But my PS4 is only a year old, and I would have never bought it if I'd known what Sony was planning. Makes my blood boil, it really does.

I don't think it's anything to do with the PS4 Pro. This is a game that has clearly had a very troubled development so it's doesn't seem too surprising that it's not as well optimised as most others. They say it runs better than SoTC anyway.

This is what I am hoping for - that it's not a general trend. I bought a PS4 thinking I'd be set for 5-7 years, not two.

On the other hand, the financial outlay of upgrading is about three weeks of your spend on iRacing. Is that really such a hurdle?

I can't see that developers are all suddenly going to start targeting a machine that has some tiny fraction of owners as the PS4. Just wouldn't make sense would it?

Not really. I've invested a lot into iRacing in the past year, but a) it's not sustainable and b) I won't need to going forward as I have most of the content I need. Years 2+ will get cheaper (comparatively). By dint of iRacing being my main gaming hobby now it's relegated my PS4 is to a secondary device. I can't justify upgrading to the Pro (and CBA with selling my PS4 boggo edition anyway).

But you know, defend a shitty practice that is poor for consumers if you like.

I think you're reading way too much into one shittily-written game with a famously troubled development history. None of the other big launches this year have suffered in this way.

My prediction: you will wait for it to be delivered, the status will say "delivered" but you won't have it, and then in 3 days time you'll find that Yodel threw it over the fence into your neighbours garden and it landed on their compost heap.

This game is awesome! Everything I hoped it would be.

Glad I decided to pick it up from GAME and take the day off.
