The PS4 Pro is powerful, but lack of uniform support holds it back a bit. By Vince Ingenito. With the Play. Station 4 Pro, Sony looks to step into new territory by offering a mid cycle, higher power version of its successful Play. Station 4. On paper, the PS4 Pro certainly has the credentials to significantly enhance some existing and future Play. Station 4 games, but in practice, the results range from good to underwhelming depending on what game youre playing and what kind of screen youre playing on.

At 1. 1. 6 inches wide, 2. PS4 can, unless it was a really snug fit already. It is significantly heavier though, by around 3. In terms of inputs and outputs, the PS4 Pro sports two USB ports close together in the front and one more on the back. That third one in the rear is great for PSVR owners, since it allows them to hook it up to the PS4 Pro without using up a front facing USB. This both prevents you from having an unsightly cord constantly sticking out the front of your entertainment center, and keeps the front USB slots free for hooking up controllers or other peripherals. And unlike the recent slimmed down PS4 revision, the PS4 Pro thankfully has an optical audio port. Dolby Digital headset users rejoice Overall, its weight, curved lines, and glossy finished Play. Station logo give the PS4 Pro a substantial, premium feel, but the cheap feeling and comically tiny physical eject and power buttons betray the aesthetic just a bit. Theyre also a little tough to find until you get used to their odd placement at either side of the Pros middle blade. In terms of UI and software features, this is mostly the same PS4 you know and love, which sadly means theres no support for 4. K blu ray playback. On the upside though, the PS4 Pro supports the higher speed 8. PS4 and the faster SATA III hard drive interface. The latter will potentially allow you to pull much more performance out of a solid state drive should you decide to replace the stock 1. TB hard drive the PS4 Pro comes with. The swap is just a tiny bit trickier on the PS4 Pro than it is on the launch PS4 though, thanks to the somewhat finicky to remove panel that guards the access screw. The 4. K Factor. Of course the big new feature is the ability to output at 2. K resolution but the actual resolution of individual games is up to the developers. Because of this lack of standardization, I saw widely mixed amounts of visual impact when playing on 4. K monitors. Middle earth Shadow of Mordor and Rise of the Tomb Raider, for instance, both look fantastic with the enhanced resolution option selected on a 4. K screen. Lighting has a wider color range and everything looks significantly cleaner, especially around the edges. Particularly with Mordor, everyone who walked by while I was playing stopped to gawk, and thats with what is now a three year old game. Properly supported, the PS4 Pro can work wonders. On the other end of the spectrum is something like Deus Ex Mankind Divided, which ups the resolution to an unspecified degree and upscales to 4. K. Not only is it hard to find any appreciable difference in visual quality, but the higher resolution seemed to cause deeper framerate dips than I remember from when I played Mankind Divided on a standard PS4. And unlike some other games, there is no option to play in a lower resolution without forcing it by manually changing the Pros output back to 1. Clearly, there are going to be cases where developers havent quite figured out how to best use the power of the Pro. Totally Optional. The PS4 Pros power isnt just for people with 4. K monitors again, that is, if the developers choose to take the time to utilize it. When they do, there are some nice visual upgrades for the vast majority of us who dont own a 4. K set. The problem is, theres no guarantee that developers will make those upgrades, and based on the existing PS4 games that have received their PS4 Pro patch so far, mileage is going to vary greatly. Shadow of Mordor, Infamous Second Son, and Rise of the Tomb Raider are good representations of what full featured PS4 Pro support can look like. Each of them has a list of options in their respective menus, and two of them, Infamous and Tomb Raider, offer a high frame rate option. Especially in the case of Tomb Raider, this mode boosted performance dramatically over the standard PS4 version. Simply put, while the ambiguously named enhanced visuals option helps some shaders and reflective surfaces to pop a bit more, the difference was negligible compared to the roughly 5. I witnessed in high frame rate mode. Id love to see developers provide this option on every game going forward but again, there are no guarantees. The lack of consistency over what enhancements youre getting shakes my confidence. Thats the big issue here even with the games that leverage the PS4 Pro well, the lack of consistency and clarity regarding what enhancements you are getting from game to game, and even from mode to mode, shakes my confidence. Some games let you change video settings on the fly, others dont. Some offer high frame rate options while others stick to enhanced visuals or higher resolution. Where higher resolution games are concerned, its unclear what resolution they are actually rendering at and what type of upscaling they might be using. Mordor in high resolution mode supersamples on 1. TVs for a smoother image do other games do that and just not mention itI dont know, and neither will you, which is a real problem. You can read articles, check patch notes, and read option descriptions, but most of the time you just dont know what youre getting until you start playing and sometimes not even then. Even Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, which is one of the first games to launch with Pro support baked in from day one, doesnt indicate the Pro benefits in game or even on the back of the box. Play. Station 4 Pro. Play. Station 4 Pro is an updated version of the Play. Station 4 console, designed to deliver 4. K, HDR video, high framerate gameplay, and other advanced features. The Verdict. The PS4 Pro is a premium looking machine that offers a lot of extra power for developers to exploit. But right now, even on a big and brilliant 4. K screen, the differences are often not stark enough to make standard PS4 owners jealous. Whats worse, theres simply no way to reliably know what enhancements youll have to choose from, which is a big problem for prospective buyers who understandably want to know what kind of enhancements to expect before they take the plunge. The PS4 Pro has the raw power to potentially deliver greatly enhanced graphics, and in time, with more support, it will likely do just that, but right now, its just too much of a crap shoot. Sri Lanka vs India, 2nd Test August 0. Cricket Archives. IND 6. 229dec 1. OvsSL 1. OvsIndia won by an innings and 5. It spun like theres no tomorrow but we have had four days of pristine Test cricket. As they say, a pitch can only be so satanic. Sri Lanka victimized themselves with a bone dry pitch, lost the toss, and yielded like a paper ball, until that second innings rearguard lent some credibility to the contest which wasnt. India, though, had enough head start for their first ever innings win in Sri Lanka but go to Pallekele with much skepticism. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. Your commentator Pratyush Sinha takes leave with his able colleagues Pradeep, Akshay Maanay, Abhishek Chaudhary, Sreenivas Varala and Shashikant Singh. Rake in the Sunday joys, ta taSome numbers by Deepu Narayanan This was Indias first win by an innings in SL. Overall it is their eight win in SL the most for them in a visiting nation. Virat Kohli became the first Indian captain to win two Test series in Sri Lanka. Most consecutive series wins for a team 9 Aus Oct 2. Jun 2. 00. 88 Eng Jul 1. Mar 1. 89. 28 Ind Aug 2.

How To Hack Sky Cable Channels there. Kohli captain, India Well, the way the wicket behaved when Sri Lanka batted first prompted that decision to enforce the follow on. Im not a big fan of it, especially when the wicket is breaking down like that. Even 1. 50 in the fourth innings can be tough. You dont want to leave chances but here, we felt we had enough. We are playing Tests at international level and we expect teams to play like Sri Lanka did. Today, we said, even if we dont get wickets, we will enjoy the tough times. It improves you as a side. We are happy that we went through the difficult place helps you not get complacent as a side. Saha is definitely the best keeper in this format right now. Hes very agile and can create chances at any stage. Pujara and Rahane are our best Test players, KL played well too, and Jadeja contributed lower down the order. Pandya contributed too. For us, its about taking Indian cricket ahead. Chandimal captain, Sri Lanka To be honest, you cant control the toss. We were outplayed in the first innings, with the bat and ball. Credit to them. But really happy with the way the guys played in the second innings. We want to take positives out of this game. Yeah, you can tell now that we could have played two fast bowlers. Unfortunately, Angelo doesnt bowl at the moment, so we cannot get the right balance. Hes Asela Gunaratne been consistent in the last one and a half years. Hoping someone else will take the opportunity. Jadeja Man of the Match In the first innings, the ball wasnt turning when we were batting. But then it started turning from the middle part of the wicket. Mendis played very well, played some brilliant shots. As a team, I think we also played good cricket. If the batsman is playing sweep regularly, its always a challenge. We have to change the line and lengths. Okay, suns out for the presentations. Twas a good toss to win for India. Pujara and Rahanes centuries were helped by four other half centuries, as India pumped on 6. In reply, Sri Lanka were no match to Indias spin, collapsing to 1. And just when an easy win beckoned India, Sri Lanka called upon the Hayden ghosts, sweeping their way to a point where a Galle redux looked plausible. And then Jadeja got one to kick up and munched on a defiant Karunaratne. If there has ever been a win in a loss, this is it. Sri Lankas inspiring fightback comes to an end, but not before baking Indias foreheads with sweat. A gargantuan lead of 4. Sri Lankas dramatic, perhaps inevitable, windfall. But here they are, the home side, riding on Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis stunningly brave centuries to hold their heads high in an innings defeat. Thats how proud you want to be going to bed.

Now to ball tracking, and the ball has in fact pitched down leg. Ashwin to Pradeep, no run, drags the sweep here. Ashwin to Pradeep, no run, woah. Carrom ball drifting across and then spinning the other way to take the leading edge. Falls in front of Ashwin. Hardik Pandya to Herath, no run, goes wide and fires it full. Blocked. 11. 5. 5. Hardik Pandya to Pradeep, 1 run, could be a deliberate low full toss but Pradeep gets some bat behind for a single into the leg side. Hardik Pandya to Pradeep, wide, wide for height. Short ball to plonk him back to crease and all. Hardik Pandya to Pradeep, no run, front foot goes no where but the hand does.

Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, out Caught by Rahane Umm. Ive seen something like this. A wide yorker length delivery this from round the wicket, and Dickwella has jammed it out straight to Rahane at gully. Good, quick decision from umpire Bruce Oxenford too. Rahane this. As easy as they come. Dickwella c Rahane b Hardik Pandya 3. Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, THATS OUT Caught 1. Ashwin to Dickwella, 1 run, reverse swept to deep point. Ashwin to Dickwella, no run, walks down leg literally and jabs out a defence. Ash too far down leg here, with this line to left hander. Ashwin to Dickwella, no run, does the same. But swivels more and finds backward point with this reverse sweep. Ashwin to Dickwella, 2 runs, takes it from outside leg with a reverse sweep and Shami cleans it up in the deep. Ashwin to Dickwella, no run, too far down leg and the flight allows Dickwella the time to wrap his bat around and sweep it to short fine. Ashwin to Dickwella, no run, Ash from over the wicket, Dickwella shimmies out and pads it away. Why not. A short square leg. Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, 1 run, waits in the crease and works it through mid wicket. Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, squares him up on the back foot with this cutter, but Dickwella has played well inside the line here. Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, too much turn on this cutter. And does so from a back of a length, so the turn is even more exaggerated. Dickwella tries to reach out but then gives up, wisely. Hardik Pandya to Dickwella, no run, beaten outside off. Gets the ball to straighten outside off and defeats Dickwellas attempt to steer a single to third man. To the batsmans credit, he just held back last minute.
