How is performance on the PS4 Pro?

[SirShavesALot]

Pretty much the title of the post.  How does the game run on the PS4 Pro?  Does it stay at a stable 30 FPS?  Would it be worth waiting to play it on PS5 or is there really not much of a difference?

 

Thanks!

I played like 60-70hours and I can say the game ran flawlessly, there was no issue with frames. The only benefit you will get from PS5 is better resolution and better load times but other than that it was a good experience for me on the Pro.

 

(I only encountered one bug which: the sword attacks weren't registering but all you need is to reload the game, if you want to get a Plat make sure to get Phosphos before doing any sidequest I got locked out from getting the plat because of it)

Yea. I had one crash early early early in the game, and I'm sure there's been some rare slowdown. But it's pretty rock solid.

How does it run on base PS4?

I'm about 10 hours in (maybe more) and the game has run flawlessly on my base PS4. Thoroughly enjoyable ?

That’s  great news. I’ve been holding off on buying any new games since I’ve been hoping to get a hold of a PS5, but it’s impossible. Will probably pick this up now that I know it performs well on base PS4. Otherwise I will start the PS5 generation with a massive backlog.

A part of me wants to get this game, but Ubi-Soft has a nasty habit of adding game play affecting micro transactions in single player games.

Really, really well! I've played 70 hours so far and have hade no problems so far.

 

I also have played Watch Dogs: Legion on my base PS4 and it runs badly unfortunately, which is why I was pleasently surprised by this.

Don't forget 60fps on PS5 when you play in performance mode  Not a neccessity for a game like this imo, but nice to have nonetheless.

I don’t recall such a thing. I only recall mt’s that affect the game visually and this one definitely has that. But gameplay itself? No. 
 

I have a PS4 Pro at home and a PS4 Slim that I play in my truck with a Gaems 17” 1080p monitor. This game runs really good on the slim so far.
