My suspicion of ZOSs silence leading up to the pro's launch was not unfounded. Having spent the last hour playing ESO on the pro, the graphical improvements for the 1080p "enhanced" version are nigh unnoticeable..
All that extra power and they squander it. What a wash.....
I really hope im simply missing something here.
@exeeter702
Would you say it's just this game or are others also not popping or looking noticeably better?
Edit:
Nevermind...seems by design with the PS4 pro that 1080p enhanced mode is still 4K but downsampled so it's not actually two different versions. Seems not to be an ESO issue but an overall experience (based on other games feedback today in articles)

What are you reaching for here? Everything that has a Pro patch looks "better", objectively, in 1080p or higher mode, unless you have a terrible tv or vision problems. We're also getting into the realm of variable, often unnoticeable to some effects, especially as pixel density increases. There's not much difference in the clarity of a 1440p image to a 4K image, and once we cross 4K the differences will be even harder to spot. Assets, physics and geometry will make the difference going forward, and none of that stuff will change this gen for Scorpio or the Pro, since they're just running prettier versions of pre-existing software built for lower-spec machines.

I'm just going to have to wait and see. I'm dissapointed that the PS4 pro doesn't have all "high and extremely high" settings as compared to PC.
Now considering the pro is waaaay more powerful than my old gaming PC the FPS are far more better but the visuals (in my opinion) still look that of the PS4 version.
For me selling new hardware for more pixels without giving you better visuals is a miss but I'm not saying it's Sony. I can't say it's ESO either cause I don't know but something isn't adding up based on my PC comparisons. And yes for sure top end PC always looks best but my PC wasn't top. It was 900P GTX 260m on a 17 inch that I also used HDMI to my hi def tv.
Sigh.....I don't know if the Xbox Scorpio is going to be better cause ZOS is the Dev who decides what switches get moved.

The game is as pretty as it's going to get. What are you not seeing? I just said "high," though obviously the sliders are cranked up, and since I don't have an actual slider to reference, I went with that. There's not much more you can do without changing the assets themselves. The game doesn't look any better on my PC (but it plays at 60 FPS). I've pointed out numerous areas of improvement with visual proof. As usual, we've reached an impass.
I'm sure you will enjoy ESO on your preferred purchase when the time comes. Anyhow, off to play. Have a lovely evening.
P.S. Also, no more random black shadows of people or jittery loads. The performance tweaks are godly and reminiscent of PC.
***Last thing: you have to actually pinch/ zoom in on the pictures to see any differences. The resolution, foliage and texture bump is immediately apparent. Remember you're looking at this stuff on a 50+ inch screen.

@Peekachu99
I don't know the specs and hardware on your PC but I'm comparing the photos to those on
My PC taken from my ingame PC and there is an obvious difference. That being lesser which is definately a decision ZOS made that I disagree with because I know the PS4 pro is far more powerful. Now perhaps my ram and settings allow me to do More but even so my PC shouldn't look better. Let's be honest it's a gtx260m the PS4 is better.
I just don't know that the improvements are noticeable but I immediately noticed the downgrade when I went to Xbox one.

Here's what I'm saying. I'm not pixel counting and I'm not looking for flaws.
The differences should be absolutely obvious.
It's not and therefore knowing with a lesser PC it can look a lot better at a glance it's a big let down for the PS4 pro
My wife who doesn't game and who could care less about any of this. I asked her to look at your photos and my PC and tell me which she felt was better. She has no idea what devices they're on she thinks she's telling me what photos to keep or delete.
She actually picked one PS4 and one of my old PC photos.
That's all to say it's not noticeable differences.

I just tested ESO how it works on 1080p TV on my PS pro ,
Graphical improvements are NOT noticeable , however I noticed a lot more fps stability in large cyro battles than my regular ps4 , so for me the upgrade is worth the value , cant say about the 4k output tho , I hope the fps there will be stable aswell.

This post was very insightful and helpful. Thank you for taking time out of your day to wright it, I appreciate that. Might consider getting a Pro after reading this post.
Gah, I'm so torn. As some of you know from my other thread, I was planning on making the switch from PC to console. I confirmed that decision last night when I died from hardware lag in the middle of freaking Auridon on an alt, nowhere near a major hub. It looks like the graphical improvements between the PS4 and the PS4 Pro aren't absolutely massive (about what I was expecting, really), but the performance improvements might be...
For those of you getting smooth 30 FPS in towns at prime time on the Pro: what are towns like at prime time on the standard PS4? Do you get an annoying, yet manageable amount of stutter (i.e. what you'd get with 20-25 FPS on PC), or are you getting an unplayable 10-15 FPS or so? If it's the former, I might still go with the standard PS4. If it's the latter, though, I may have to suck it up and spend the extra $120 (even though I'd really rather not).

The only places i have issues with on the PS4 are Mournhold and Elden Root. Can be truly awful at times. For example, can take an age for the pull up map screen and workstation options to fully load in Mournhold, and in Elden Root, it's just laggy. I don't hang around there as I have never liked Elden Root.

Yeah, those locations -- Elden Root especially -- are a nightmare for me on PC as well. We're talking steady 15 FPS, dropping down to 5-10 FPS when folks spam AOEs for the heck of it. And that was BEFORE One Tamriel! I haven't even dared to venture back to Elden Root in the past little while, given that my average FPS dropped by about 15-20 after the update and that it now takes a ridiculously long time for stuff to load in most towns.
What's Rawl'kha like on PS4 at prime time? Also a laggy mess, or is it manageable?

They are absolutely massive. I'm not sure where this narrative started unless you mean 1080p Pro mode.
