Hatsune Miku VR Future Live - 2nd Stage

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, VR Future Live, Valkyria: Azure Revolution and Yakuza 6 Will Be Enchanced on PlayStation 4 Pro

In a recent article, Yakuza Fan points out that Yakuza 6 is on the list of games that will support the PlayStation 4 Pro (illustrated by a “PS4 Pro Enhanced” label), rendering the game at 4K. It’s unclear at this point if it’s native 4K or if they’ll opt for some form of upscaling from 1800P.

However, aside from Yakuza 6, the list also includes three other SEGA games: Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X HD, Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live and Valkyria; Azure Revolution. From what I can gather from the remarks on the list, the update for Project DIVA X HD was actually already released in Japan. It’s unclear what benefits the games will get from PS4 Pro, but we can at least assume an increased resolution on 4K TVs, and improved anti-aliasing on 1080P TVs by means of downsampling. At this point it’s not clear if Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X received an update in the West, but we’ll update the article if or when we learn more.

UPDATE: more details on Project DIVA X HD and VR Future Live enhancements were posted in an update on the official SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku blog.

Project DIVA X HD Enchancements on PS4 Pro

  • By connecting to a 4K compatible TV, you can enjoy at a resolution of 3840 × 2160 (unclear if it’s native or not).
  • The quality of the 3D models has been enhanced.
  • The image resolution of screenshots taken in “Photo Studio” will support 3840 × 2160.
  • VR mode now has a 90hz mode. This is interesting, because typically games run at 60fps and are converted to 120fps via “asynchronous reprojection”. This involves a process similar to interpolation, that inserts new frames that were created based on information from the previous ones. However, it’s not a perfect solution compared to native 120fps output. The 90hz mode is a different mode that doesn’t use asynchronous reprojection, delivering 90 fps of “real” frames rendered by the game. I don’t have a Playstation 4 Pro at the moment, but I’m interested in comparing the 120Hz mode to the 90Hz mode and seeing which looks better. From what I imagine, 120Hz will be smoother, while 90Hz will offer better image quality.
