They did the same for Watchdogs 2. Publishing their Pro article just before the patch that removed performance problems on Pro.DF has released their technical analysis of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided yesterday... but today Eidos released a patch that improves performance on a Pro.
Bad timing for DF.
Bad timing...or expert timing.

Good and fun to see the Pro CPU is getting some love in the hitman video. People love to criticize it when even the base PS4 can give us nice looking games.

I have a bit of problem viewing 4K videos from digitalfoundry.net on my 5K iMac. If I use Quicktime it seems to render the videos in 1080p (!). If I use VLC I get a lot of stuttering. On windows on the same computer VLC seems to work a bit better but there is still stuttering.
The best experience seems to be to use Firefox' built in player but then it is impossible to get a perfect 1:1 pixel mapping....
Anyone have any ideas?

MPC should do the job
Who cares about that ? As long as it fits their editorial narrative.
Come on now, you're coming across as the one with the forced narrative. What damienw said comes straight from DF themselves - it's their exact commentary.
If you watch the video, John makes it very clear that the frame rate is variable during gameplay and can drop down into the low fourties, with reduced controller response affecting control feel. And he points out that Bioshock two is actually worse in this regard:
[can't link with a timestamp - go to 4:11 and watch for 20 seconds]
They've picked out areas that show this, and included them in this relatively short video and explicitly comment on this. If they'd done this for a PS4 game you'd have been going ape!
Edit: Here's Richard in the writeup, talking about Bioshock two:

do you feel like they've said anything out of the ordinary? The improvements in the framerate department are huge though not perfect. Taking into account that one of my favourite games ever is Call of Juarez and it ran at an uncapped framerate on the X360,a little tearing is not going to be bothersome --in my case.
They have a point when they comment in the analysis that they wonder how these games will run on the Scorpio, it's quite interesting. Maybe all BC games are going to run at 60 fps on the Scorpio? That can mean additional sales for bc titles.

Hopefully the 360 emulator will also take advantage of any CPU improvements for Scorpio too, so we can have completely stable frame rates across the board in all games.

MPC worked way better than VLC, but I am dissapointed in the quality of the DF files. Will post more later.
That was just a test, because bioshock 1&2 allows open framerates. Normally you would play it with 30fps on xbox one BC and it would still run better than on original xbox 360.
But I don't get it that they couldn't test bioshock infinite, because they don't have it for xbox 360 .... it is not the most expensive title out there. I got it last year through "Games with Gold" or I paid 5€ for the title. i really think, they could afford this small investment
Have you ever questioned your reality?
