I would have thought the base unit was 1080p and the Pro was around 1440p – but I was wrong in my assumptions. Considering each area is a small enclosed setting with instances of tearing appearing on the screen, those resolutions were a bit of a shock to me. This may come as a surprise, but the base PS4 runs at a native 720p and the PS4 Pro runs at a native 1080p. One question I asked the developers, which I don’t think anyone else had, was what resolutions are the consoles running at. Thankfully, the developers are aware of this and are looking at implementing some kind of V-Sync process to either eliminate or reduce the tearing on the consoles. I believe this is occurring to keep the framerate as high as possible. However, it doesn’t impact you that much unless you go looking for it as it’s most apparent when standing still and spinning around. This is visible on both the PS4 Pro and the base model. The first thing I wanted to touch upon is something that will crop up in my review – the game has a lot of screen tear within it.

My experiences with the game are based on the PS4 Pro and the base PS4, I’ve not played it on Steam but I’ve heard great things about the PC version – I expect that was the primary platform for the small two-man team of developers. I thought it might be helpful to do a separate article highlighting these, catching up on the patch which Steam users received today, talking about the resolutions of the console version and also show off some 60fps footage from my PS4 Pro. However, upon playing the game for a few hours, I encountered a few negatives which I would like to share – they aren’t technical issues or faults, just design choices that personally affected me whilst I was playing it on the PS4. So, The Hong Kong Massacre was released earlier this week to really positive reviews (ours is coming very soon).
