Awesome. I had to look it up. It's in a new update released yesterday. I'm using my PS4 with my 1440p gaming rig monitor. It looks arguably better than a native 27" 1080p monitor. When I first tested it I expected it to look worse due to pixel stretching on up-scaling out of native game code display. Apparently PS4 games that can also run at 4K (like my Project Cars 2) fare a lot better here than those that were coded for 1080p only. I've also read this up-scaling quality can be dependent on your monitor's quality (I have a high end Dell). In any event, I'd love to see Sony support 2K and Freesync monitors for the PS4 but knowing them they won't even try.
Now what I'd like to know is what the FPS performance hit would be. The games are native 1080p 60FPS for the most part so I wonder how that works. Anyway Sony, listen up! You need this and there are a lot out there like me. Otherwise my next generation console might just be an Xbox.

Far Cry 5 seemed as if it was built for console people, as priority. It is severely backtracked in effects and physics, since the previous games. Sure, it looks pretty, but that's about it.
Nothing new. For several years now since the 4th generation consoles came out (PS4/XB1) the developers have trended towards console development first then backporting to PC. Remember the Batman Arkham Knight disaster? That was one of the first ones to do it, and they of course failed miserably on the PC port. So bad that Warner Bros gave refunds to those who bought it on Steam. It didn't help me because it was one of two games I got free with an EVGA GTX 970 purchase. I believe by the time they got it fully patched and working, it was a year after release. I refuse to buy a WB game ever because of that.

Don't forget that "exclusives" might not appear on other brands of consoles, either, so you have to buy 3 console devices, not just one.
Well that's the general assumption with the meaning "exclusive" in a console title. Forza used to be XB only but Microsoft finally wised up and offered it for PC gamers starting with FM6. That's rare. I'm still tempted to get FM7 for the PC but I've got so many racing games/sims on both platforms I'm nearly overwhelmed.
