Seems like their virtualized geometry doesn't cover vegetation, similar to earlier versions of nanite. Also seeing fewer objects, like all the pebbles/rocks by the shore. Oliver doesn't bring this up, just as he doesn't bring up the absence of hair strands on pro performance mode. Anytime these guys see ray tracing, they stop making an effort to look at other nuances. Made a small comparison GIF.

Outside of RT reflections (which don't look great anyway), it is near identical to quality mode. Plus you get the additional responsiveness. Imo, Quality mode is the one that is kind pointless at the moment if balanced mode is an option. But for some of us without a 120hz TV, there is no other option other than 60 fps or decent IQ, hair strands and draw distance. If PSSR gets the performance mode IQ to match current quality mode, the winner would be a no-brainer. Will take 60 fps over some grass and pebbles!
Hey, they went the Extra Mile on Pro....
we are gaining power baby!!! This is gonna be a fun year
Couldn't have said it better myself. It used to be about gameplay and now it's about a game looks? How is the level design? How does it FEEL to control the characters? How is the enemy AI? What is the sound design like? Is the game difficult or easy? Seems more people are interested in screen grabs and bragging that their console/PC looks better than something else. Gotta justify spending the big bucks I suppose...

CPU??
Yeah there must be a point where they can't maintain 60 fps anymore. Goofy though. I'd rather they limit the amount of stuff we can put in there instead. At least keeps the game experience consistent.
Cool. Sadly people seem to be more interested in which console/PC version looks prettier.
Dude you are moaning about discussing graphics? Litterally one of the oldest topics known man.
Ummm, because the game isn't out yet? And objectively, there are more people in the OT than in here. So don't be sad. Just a few of us nerds doing nerdy things.
Graphics/tech discussion has always been a big aspect of videogames since forever, nothing has changed. If you were expecting a discussion about gameplay in a digital foundry thread, I don't know what to tell you.
PS5 Pro version is called the best version and praised multiple times by DF:
"They hate Pro and were paid by Phil Spencer!"

and submit to the 30fps experience.

I think the reflections are very easy to skip given the setting and the low quality. I can understand wanting to go for the eye candy, but a 40fps mode makes the 30 one redundant.Quality mode is the way to go on Pro. You guys need to join the church of
We have hair strands. And ray-traced reflections.
Only if your TV supports it. I don't think I'm going to upgrade till PS6
Obviously, but I'd like to think most people with a modern console, at least a pro, do have one. My heart goes out to those that still don't, I recently upgraded myself.
Its beyond stupid imo though. Cutscenes at 30 are one thing, at least the camera is fixed and they can limit pans, or just flat out cut to new angles, but in gameplay? There is a reason I NEVER play at 30 on my TV.... This literally makes a portion of the game at worse unplayable for me and at best a jarring transition thats going to have me hate using the hideout. If it really is a performance issue they should just allow fps drops and those of us sensitive to them can just deal with it and limit construction. Not ideal but better than 30.
I... I can't relate to this at all. Ummmm.... ok?
Its funny, what would be a better upgrade for me was if Remote play went to 1440p/120. Then for the odd title at 40 I could just stream it to my external monitor on the Mac. Was hoping for some love with the Pro, but now have to wait on the PS6 and maybe even that doesn't get >60, but presumably >1080p at least.
