A bunch of new 4K focused gameplay footage came out today for Rise of the Tomb Raider on PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro. No, the 4K isn't for the normal PlayStation 4, but you should know that already.With the PlayStation 4 Pro’s additional horsepower, we’ve been able to add graphical enhancements such as improved reflections, more dynamic foliage, and detailed tessellation. These features heighten the experience and further immerse players in Lara’s first Tomb Raiding expedition.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration on the PlayStation 4 Pro will include three modes: 4K Resolution, High Framerate, and Enriched Visuals, allowing you to customize your experience. 4K Resolution displays the game in 4K Resolution, on supported 4K TVs, in 30 fps. High Framerate pushes the framerate above 30 fps at 1080p with a target of 60 fps for an even smoother gameplay experience. Enriched Visuals enhances graphical features of the game for a lusher and more realistic experience, in 1080p at 30 fps.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration is the most comprehensive version of the award-winning experience, and includes Rise of the Tomb Raider, the new story chapter “Blood Ties”, “Lara’s Nightmare” zombie combat mode, PlayStation VR support for “Blood Ties”, co-op Endurance mode, an “Extreme Survivor” difficulty mode, 5 classic Lara skins, an outfit and weapon inspired by TR III, and all of the previously released DLC. The new content will be included as part of the Season Pass on Xbox One and PC.

The bold portion of the above is my doing. Take note of the three modes that the game will run at on the PlayStation 4 Pro. It should be noted that there is no option that is 1080p and a solid 60FPS. Let that disappointing fact about the PlayStation 4 Pro hardware sink in a bit.
Also,
This is more that Sony dropped the ball big time on the hardware for PS4 Pro. They saw what Microsoft is promising with Scorpio, and yes that is a year away still, but that should have pushed Sony to bump up their hardware a bit. Plus the whole thing about not including a UHD Blu-ray player when even the Xbox One S will have one at $100 cheaper is just... I don't know what Sony is thinking right now. It seems they're becoming complacent again.
Consoles are in such a weird place right now, do you buy the cheaper model, the most expensive one, the small one, the 4k TV, the 4k TV with HDR... and developers have to support all of this stuff.
