I'm pretty sure if you played Spiderman on PS5 in quality mode, walked out and came back to it running on PS5 Pro you'd notice a huge difference. Maybe not in screenshot, but real world side by side scenarios you'd notice a big difference.
Yup! Every time I moved back to 30 FPS it would always evoke a slideshow effect in my brain for 20 seconds or so, then I'd get used to 30 FPS again. Can't wait to get the best of both worlds
The Pro has my nipples hard. Can't wait for it
Relax, the thing launches in November. There will be plenty of coverage before then.
First off, it's not just better looking, it's also running at double the framerate. Unfortunately, pictures don't show the latter.
As usual. That's the world we live in today. Bunch of sensationalist juvenile pricks.
So 4 years from now is your idea of right around the corner?
It's all relative. I used to think 4 years was a long time too, but another way to think about it is the Biden administration. Maybe I'm just old and my conception of time is skewed because of it. That election feels like yesterday to me. You could also say 4 years since covid. Again, to me it doesn't feel that long. My youngest will be 19 in 4 years. It flies by bros.
Wise, and entirely true words.
I bet you can't wait for that 800 dollar improvement for it
In console years it definitely is. Think about the last year of any gen. We get one really good first party release, but the third party stuff is drying up and being delayed for the new gen at that point. You might get one single cross gen Naughty Dog game at this point. Certainly not a second Rockstar game. Not a second Bethesda game. Witcher 4 might see a cross gen release. You've really only got next year and the year after as like, fully meaty years.
Valid concern ive also had. Having said that. If the sharpness slider was the answer to clearer textures/detail, everyone would be doing it.
I would rather wait for the PC version (a 4000 dollar improvement considering my hardware cost), but likely won't be until late next year.
I mean, what we see in Ratchet is obvious and expected, it's the improvement over Fidelity that is puzzling to me.
On a regular PS5 Part II in Fidelity looks insane, not only native 4K but sharpened as well. I would never feel wanting "more" than that.
And yet not only we do see what's a truly noticeable improvement:
That would make total sense.
Maybe ray-traced shadows? Don't see how ray-traced GI would benefit that much from this given the lack of dynamic tod and already really good baked lighting. I did spot a few instances where the shadows could use some serious work. Maybe reflections too.
I hope no RT personally in the already released TLOU games.
This is true technically, for some portions of the game at least, however I'm not sure a totally realistic, non manually adjusted character lighting would be necessarily an improvement, as I feel there's a chance it could compromise a little, from a merely artistic point of view, the game at times. ND used hero lighting effectively in many instances.
Folks are reactionary and like to rush to get a hot take out there.
Real-time GI would still benefit this game, as in-game characters lighting never matches the scene.
YES! If you dont have PS5, Plus right now Gamestop offer you $400 to trade your PS5 console for PS5 Pro.
When GTA V was released, your son was 4 years old. Today you still have to wait 2 years to play GTA VI
Are these from the Digital Foundry H.264 / HEVC encodes?

Also, not sure it's fair saying it never matches the scene.
But I get maybe you're referring to instances like these:
Which I still find very pleasant to look at to be honest. RT GI isn't exactly perfect, for the time being, in vast majority of games using it.
An insufficient amount of rays is definitely a problem, especially in the PT games (noise, ghosting), however in hybrid RT games like metro exodus (standard edition, EE look like crap), the witcher 3, or even crysis 2 remastered (svogi) I saw no problems with image quality, so dynamic GI can be implemented well.
If they're offering $400 for a PS5, does that mean they intend to resell it for more than that?
Probably? I'm not sure if people buying refurbish PS5! For a little more money, you can buy brand new with 1 yr warranty.
The problem is that this requires the developer to update the game, right? Like we will never get Immortals of Aveum running with PSSR instead of FSR.
True. But they say they have up to 50 games coming for launch so if we are lucky maybe thats in there too.The problem is that this requires the developer to update the game, right? Like we will never get Immortals of Aveum running with PSSR instead of FSR.
