Textures in this game

Texture resolution/quality and overall resolution are not the same thing.

It is likely turned down on higher resolutions on the PS4 to accommodate for the lack of horsepower vs. a high-end gaming PC.

I know you don't want to make the conversation about that...but that would be my guess. I have not seen what you're describing on PC.

Like I understand the ps4 pro uses checkerboarding to simulate a close to 4k image resolution, but some of the stuff I'm noticing in my game is much much below. I'm seeing pixelated resolutions on important npcs. I'm just trying to find out if anybody else is experiencing this on their 4k tv's playing on the pro or if someone can shed some light regarding this.

I actually just tried right now, I changed my settings on the pro. Textures are incredibly low on clothing and other details. Low details still even on 1080p settings. So it doesn't matter if it's on 4k or 1080p. I wonder if this just a texture loading bug or something else.

What the hell do you people expect a ps4 pro playing at 4k with good graphics, not even with a 1080ti you can play ultra at real 4k smooth

I'm on PC, but I can still see what you're talking about.

I notice it in most games to be honest. The best texture work goes into the main characters that you're going to be looking at the majority of the time, and everything else gets scaled down textures so that it doesn't murder all but the most expensive GPUs. The PS4 Pro as noted probably isn't running at maximum setting either because well... 4k is demanding on any system. They likely turned down the texture resolution a bit so it could maintain something resembling a respectable framerate.

I've also seen a few cases of either texture pop-in happening or the higher res textures simply not loading, so it might be that as well if they're looking really bad.

I have a flatmate that plays on the PS4 on a 720p tv and he complains about the graphics luul, no one that buys a console should expect top notch graphics.

@op I do see some of it on PC, on the N7 helmet when in cut scenes and some low res rock and wall textures, even the sparks from gun fire when they hit something solid are low res, but other than that its pretty good when compared to ME3.
