Game is high level and everyone knows Dice can make a shooter, but they're also banking on call of duty shitting the bed.

I've been playing CoD for a couple of years since BF 2042 wasn't good, but realistically, CoD is not likely to be anything revolutionary.

 

[Teh Chosen Juan]

Sharpness to 25.....

So i should just put it back to 50. Haha Probably right! The weeeeeeed be letting me know!

 

[8BiTw0LF]

I think rhe finals has better destruction and physics now afrer the update

Absolutely

 

[Karim]

I think in this case it's more that they're using a poor FSR on base consoles.

If this were a UE5 game, it'd use the much superior TSR instead.

TSR it's neither that good at lower resolution than 1080p, don't expect much sharper presentation with it. Unfortunately there is nothing comparable to PSSR on base consoles (for obvious reasons) although it's more harshly criticized than praised.

 

[Skifi28]

PSSR shows artifacts and noise in motion as well, which they pointed out in this video as a tell-tale sign.

Regardless, that wasn't the point.

TSR is much better than FSR. That was my point.

The problem with TSR is very heavy ghosting which AI solutions tend to reduce if not eliminate.

I am sorry, but that's not true. CBR when well implemented can directly compete against PSSR. Like in Days Gone. And CBR has not the noise seen in PSSR.

Lol no. CBR required really high base resolution and it has even more artifacts than PSSR with post processing/transparencies effects. The only reason because Days Gone OG it's "better" is the lack of indirect lighting in the ps4 version which prevent the infamous artifacts of the remaster version.

 

[nowhat]

Lol no. CBR required really high base resolution and it has even more artifacts than PSSR with post processing effects.

CBR requires half the pixels of whatever your target resolution is. As for artifacts with post-processing, sure they can exist (for example, performance mode in HFW was really quite nasty in motion at launch), but they can be worked around (as was the case with said performance mode and later patches).

As PSSR. But CBR at lower resolution is awful. You can see it in Avengers on base ps5 in performance mode. Sorry but CBR is even more useless than FSR or TSR with low resolution.

What? CBR resolves terribly when motion is too quick. There's a reason no one is using it anymore.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

Game looks good and runs great.

 

[Physiognomonics]

What? CBR resolves terribly when motion is too quick. There's a reason no one is using it anymore.

Yes, but it depends of the implementation. In some games like the last Tomb Raider or Days gone, the implementation is very good notably when it's aiming for native 4K output. Days gone showed us how good CBR could be even compared to PSSR. Problem is it's not a easy plug and play API like DLSS or even PSSR. It needs more optimization.

The PC version, running at ultra settings on a high-end rig, is naturally the visual benchmark , with unmatched texture quality, shadow detail, and overall rendering precision.
That said, the PS5 Pro holds its ground impressively. Visual fidelity is high, lighting and effects are strong, and performance remains smooth even in large-scale battles.
While PC still leads in raw graphical power, the PS5 Pro delivers a surprisingly close and highly optimized experience , a testament to the developers' excellent work.

 

[Bernardougf]

Hopefully the SP campaign has a 30fps mode that pushes fidelity.

Well as far as the DF article goes.. theres no difference between any of the top consoles aside from some bump in final resolution and pssr. So no more "effects" whatsoever. Or maybe I missed something

Not exactly, while the differences aren't massive, there's still more to it than just resolution and PSSR.
On PS5 Pro, you're getting a higher baseline resolution, improved image stability thanks to PSSR, and slightly better asset sharpness in certain scenarios compared to the base PS5 or Series X.
No, it's not a night-and-day leap in effects, but in a fast-paced game like Battlefield 6, the cleaner image and sharper detail can make a noticeable difference during gameplay.

These observations are well-grounded in verified reports, not speculation.


1. PS5 Pro clearly stands out in Battlefield 6.
Trusted outlets like Wccftech note that the PS5 Pro delivers a higher average resolution, more debris and particle effects during destruction, and longer draw distances compared to other consoles.


2. The visual boost goes beyond PSSR and resolution.
In addition to sharper visuals, the console benefits from enhanced environmental fidelity, which is noticeable during fast-paced sequences where detail and clarity matter in motion, as reported by developers.


3. All of this is confirmed by reliable tech analysis, no guesswork here.
We're not guessing, these conclusions come from hands-on comparisons and observant render tests, not rumors.


So yes, the PS5 Pro doesn't just tick a "resolution + PSSR" checkbox. It genuinely elevates the visual scale and quality of Battlefield 6 in meaningful and measurable ways, especially when every element on screen counts.

I didnt watch the DF video just saw adams summary... so its good to know its not only resolution/pssr

Balanced mode on Pro does look really good with PSSR, not too far off what I was getting on PC outside of framerate. Tried the performance mode last night but it looked noticeably softer to me so may be ditching PSSR for FSR, could just be bugged tho given it also has screen tearing even on a VRR display

Form what I found, it's not only about Res and pssr; by the way, the best has yet to come...

Based on confirmed technical roadmaps and official statements, future iterations of the PS5 Pro, starting in late 2026, could deliver a significantly more impressive experience compared to both the base PS5 and the Xbox Series X. This is not about minor resolution bumps or marketing spin; rather, it's about introducing a new class of AI-driven upscaling and rendering enhancements that can fundamentally change how games look and perform on Sony's mid-gen platform. If Project Amethyst performs as intended, the visual gap could be more noticeable than any mid-generation upgrade we've seen in the past two console cycles.

Project Amethyst

• Purpose: This initiative is intended to deliver a drop-in upgrade to the current PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) system—Sony's AI-powered upscaling tech used in the PS5 Pro. The aim is to enhance visual fidelity and performance without major alterations to existing titles.
  Reddit, Tom's Guide, The Verge
• AI-driven tech: The new algorithm leverages machine learning to deliver the "full-fat version" of upscaling that was co-developed with AMD and released as FSR 4 on PC. This is not a simplified version—it's intended to bring superior image clarity and frame rates.
  The Verge, Wccftech, Reddit
• Launch timeline: Sony has confirmed that this upgrade is expected to arrive on PS5 Pro in 2026. It is meant to directly replace the existing PSSR system without requiring developers to overhaul their rendering pipelines.
  Wccftech, Tom's Guide
• Sony–AMD collaboration: Project Amethyst is a multi-year partnership between Sony and AMD that started around 2023. Cerny and AMD engineers worked closely together, integrating RDNA5/next-gen GPU features and upscaling innovations into both platforms. The goal is not locked to proprietary use—these improvements are designed to benefit broader technology ecosystems (e.g., FSR 4 on PC).

Well these are promises ... we will have to wait and see.. a lot of the bullshit they told regarding the Pro and the first pssr didnt come to fruition... so better take everything with a grain of salt this days

This game is way too fast.

[RJMacready73]

From watching my kid play this last weekend ain't nobody got any time to be picking out minor graphical glitches or sub par shadow maps, the game looked frantic as hell with shit popping off left right and center, the screen was constantly filled with debris, explosions and players, it looked great and younger me would've loved this when I played Quake3 arena on mouse keyboard back in the day, nowadays id just be a bullet sponge able to hit or react to fuck all, whereas my kid he's just tearing up the map with a bloody joypad killing all round him... It looks like they've made a pretty decent Battlefield tbf
