It uses geometry rendering techniques to target native 4K.
The situation with movie mode is very different on PS4 Pro, however. Aside from that, we could see no real difference between the two modes. As the arrival of each new frame in movie mode is tied to the display refresh, frame-rate also drops noticeably. Xbox One X appears to just turn v-sync on, effectively giving users a Hobson's choice of continual tearing or obvious judder. Movie mode on both systems often drops performance to the 20fps level - sometimes dipping beneath - but the actual implementation varies here. Pro runs at 1080p resolution, but Xbox One X trumps it with a native 1440p framebuffer - albeit with some cutbacks to the visual feature set and an overall lower level of performance. Busy scenes drop to the low-20s here - not exactly the kind of performance level we'd expect from the enhanced consoles. In both cases, frame-rate is unlocked and v-sync is disabled, meaning that the uneven action is accompanied by ever-present screen-tearing. So, let's kick off with what we thought would be the most optimal way to play the game - action mode on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. What's also curious is that the implementation of the 'action' and 'movie' modes varies across platforms.
At best it's sub-optimal, at worst it's a mess. Despite the inclusion of performance and image quality orientated modes (on all systems bar base Xbox One), frame-rate is sub-par, no matter which system you own or which mode you use. However, what's immediately clear from booting up the game is that Dynasty Warriors 9 has issues. There are key enhancements here - a seamless open world with no loading, dynamic time of day and weather rendering plus a new system for dealing with animation and in-game physics. A classic franchise returned this week, powered by a brand new engine and supporting both the current-gen consoles and their mid-generation refresh equivalents.
