For Honor makes a solid graphic impression on both the PS4 and the PS4 Pro. However, the Pro variant offers noticeable advantages.
The technology experts from DigitalFoundry have taken a closer look at the Pro version of For Honor and compared it to the standard version. The result right off the bat: You do not need a PS4 Pro to enjoy For Honor. However, if you also appreciate the small details, the Pro provides you with some advantages.
In this video from DF, you will see several side-by-side comparisons. Below the video, we summarize the key differences:
Higher Resolution and Better Textures
The standard version comes in a native 1080p resolution, while the PS4 Pro achieves 1440p. According to the experts, the image quality appears sharper than in many other 1440p titles. A strong plus point for the Pro version.
However, you do not need a display with insane resolution to discern differences between the versions. The textures are also more detailed on the Pro, the image is sharper, and the depth of field has a better quality. Objects and shadows at greater distances are hardly pixelated anymore.
In terms of framerates, For Honor delivers solid performance on both consoles. The standard version can maintain 30 FPS well, only occasionally experiencing minor drops that would not affect gameplay. The video shows the 4v4 dominion mode, which is likely the “most demanding” for the gaming console. The PS4 Pro holds the 30 FPS better than the standard PS4.
Since the PS4 Pro has been on the market, it has become common to compare the Pro versions of games with the standard versions. After all, players want to know if acquiring the Pro is really worth it – or has been worth it. We present two games that particularly benefit from the PS4 Pro.
The open beta of For Honor starts soon. Here we have the information you need for that.
