Are consoles ever going to get HDR?

[(PSN)Texas_Twurk_Team]

They talked about adding this forever ago, but then again they also said they were making a Pro patch to utilize the beefier hardware back in December of 2016 and that didn't happen either.

"Warframe currently offers base support for PS4 Pro. Essentially, because of the PS4 Pro’s beefier hardware, Warframe runs better currently without any additional work from our side.  However, we are planning to take advantage of what the PS4 Pro offers in an official way in 2017. So yeah, I personally am looking forward to seeing how badass Warframe will look using the PlayStation 4 Pro’s tech."

"We don't wanna"

I'm also dying for the official support of HDR on the PS4.

I got a PS4 Pro in Janurary, and while Warframe does run better on it, I don't think it's getting to the level of 4K fidelity that PC does. I can go to the Youtube App on the PS4, find a 4K gameplay video of Warframe, and notice that it just looks a lot better.

My guess is that HDR implementation for Consoles has been forgotten.

If DE wanted to, they would've implemented it on PC first.  But HDR on PC games is not really a thing yet it seems?  Or not worth the effort.

As for PS4 Pro/Xbox One X optimizations, it could be done offering better framerates or resolutions but I don't think they have the manpower to do so.

My prediction?  Wait for the PS5.... :)

What bugs me most is that you can't go lower than 30 contrast without putting a smoke-like hue over the whole screen. I generally rock 60-70 brightness and 30-40 contrast with 30 bloom and some levels look phenomenal and some look like discolored WIP levels. Since going lower than 30 changes the whole screen, and that's where the sweet spot is, I guess we just gotta wait until HDR, if that ever comes...

Yeah at this point I guess that's the only option. C'mon E3. Then again if the Pro version is any indication of the PS5 version we might be in trouble

I say this as an AMD guy, the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X don't have remotely the same hardware. I don't care what Sony claims, the only console out right now capable of HDR at high res and decent FPS is the One X. If I had to guess as to the reason for the delay, it's that DE is waiting for the PS5 which will have modern hardware.

lol we can't even get 60 fps for a majority of games. Pro is a marketing ploy along with 4k which nothing supports or is even required for anything that isn't the size of a billboard.

You obviously have no idea what HDR is or does. Even the base PS4 does HDR. It's just a wider range of colors. It does not take any massive amount of computational power to do lol
