I forget where I read (Digital Foundry?) but if its essentially the flawed implementation of 4k, the fix might be way more complex than a patch. I hope you are correct though.

Possibly. But damn I waited so long already for RDR2. For now, I'll be either playing it from across the room or downgrade the resolution on my PS4 Pro to 1080p

The fact that the game broke sales records also tells me it could be just ignored. My usual go to for video game news, Reddit has all but forgotten the terrible PS4 Pro version of red dead 2.

I'm leaning that way as well unfortunately. Having to downgrade resolution to 1080p is just not a viable workaround on a AAA title that took 8 years to make and was marketed as 4K by Sony along with creating a specialized 4K bundle with the Pro. It's disappointing.

We're getting contradicting info from R* it seems like.

Yeah, the HDR and blurriness issues are two completely different issues. In fact, the HDR issue is also present in the XBOX 1X or whatever it's called.

Yep I play about 2-4 feet away from the TV and even then it’s noticeable. For example, get closer to the TV and switch the camera to the closest setting (using the touch pad) to Arthur’s back. Note how fuzzy and out of focus his clothes and bandolier are. His hair and bear and little details like that are all muddy and blurry. The muddiness and blurriness are even more glaring in first person.

If this is true, then it means it might be patchable! I don't have access to my PS4 Pro at the moment but does this work for anyone else that might be playing now?

I definitely share your frustration. I heard that there are some folks that upgraded to the PS4 PRO Red Dead bundle and lo and behold, crappy resolution. I'm hoping it can be patched or at the least allow us to turn down the motion blur.

No offence taken at all. I agree it's pretty ridiculous; I think we just need to ensure it doesn't just get ignored and swept under the rug or anything like that. That and the various articles already being published saying that R* has acknowledged the issue appear to be mistaken. My chat with the agent above, he was pretty thorough when he researched the issue and found no indication or plans to address it. I understand however, that maybe he just isn't privy to that info.

It's only better as in the weird blurriness is no longer there but on my 55 inch 4K tv, the drop in resolution to 1080p is almost as distracting as the blur. Granted, I play pretty close to the TV though so YMMV.

Yep, it seems reddit has already forgotten about it so we need to keep pushing. Alot of feedback on Twitter as well but strangely, rockstar support doesn't respond to any of the tweets mentioning the blurriness on the PS4 Pro. Again, here's the link https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507?step=c4ccc5e7 to submit a ticket and chat with a Rockstar support agent

Yep, here: Rockstar Support for RedDead2 note that you will have to sign up for Rockstar Social Club and use the chat option to speak to an agent.

Unfortunately, my chat with rockstar support shows they have not actually acknowledged the issue. This is contrary to the article posted here https://www.rdr2.org/news/rockstar-acknowledges-rdr2-blurring-issue-on-ps4-pro/

It does look amazing from far away but for those that play closer, the motion blur and overall blurriness are really distracting. Some people are more sensitive to it than others too. I’ve read some folks are getting headaches from it.

The linked article seems to say that the blurring issue in particular is being acknowledged by Rockstar but that’s based on a vague sentence from a chat screenshot?
