YouTube has also rolled out an update for HDR-enabled smartphones like the Galaxy S8, S8+, Note 8, LG V30 and Sony Xperia XZ Platinum. Alternatively you can stream the video from your phone to a Chromecast Ultra to get the desired effect.
Selected Roku devices - including some integrated into 4K HDR screens - are compatible too. Obviously, an HDR screen is a given, and mid-range/high-end Samsung screens from 2016 and the newer 2017 models will get the job done via its internal YouTube app. To watch this video in actual HDR, you'll need specific hardware. Now, the chances are you'll be watching this via YouTube on a standard dynamic range screen - in which case, YouTube converts the HDR image to SDR using a technique called tone-mapping, meaning you get a very standard-looking presentation. How do you watch Digital Foundry HDR video?įinal Fantasy 15 is a simply beautiful game running in HDR, so we captured and edited our Xbox One X analysis video in this format. Tabata implied a 3072x1728 resolution but that doesn't appear to be quite the case based on extensive testing we've carried out. In an interview prior to this update, game director Hajime Tabata suggested that this mode would offer the same resolution as PS4 Pro, using checkerboard rendering.
On Xbox One X, the high quality mode is the place to be. Now, steady was our mode of choice on Pro - it forced us to dial back on bling, but it reduced the bad frame-pacing to a minimum. In terms of visual features, both steady and lite modes are much the same between Pro and X - it's the all-important high quality setting that truly sets them apart. Completing the line-up is 'lite', which unlocks the frame-rate.

High centres on delivering the best quality visuals with a 30fps target, while steady drops back resolution to 1080p and targets the base consoles' visual feature set. As expected, Xbox One X delivers the same three modes as the Pro.

Well, the results are in and while the upgrade lives up to expectations in many, many ways, there are a number of small issues that do need addressing. In effect, bad frame-pacing introduces significant stutter into what is actually a locked 30fps experience. The experience varies across each of the PS4 Pro's rendering modes, but to some extent, all of them deliver frames inconsistently, the impact at its worst in the high quality mode. We were eager to check this one out because the base Xbox One version - as blurry as it is - has a crucial advantage over all PlayStation releases: correct frame-pacing at 30fps, each frame persisting for 33ms, giving a smooth, consistent, gameplay experience. Could the new Xbox One X upgrade finally deliver the Final Fantasy 15 experience we've been waiting for? Features have come and gone but in the end, it never seemed to run as well as we would have hoped.
The PS4 Pro has been supported since the game's release and its implementation has always been inconsistent at best. Since its launch last year, Final Fantasy 15 has changed a lot and Square-Enix has continued to support the game with patches and changes designed to improve the experience for players while introducing features - but this hasn't always gone smoothly.
