No idea. You brought up PC when we are talking about the benefits of the PRO's supposed boost mode enhancing PS4 games.

People are overlooking the PS5 Pro Boost mode for PS4 games

It'll be same than before, or same than XSX (which is great) if the game was locked at 30 it'll remain locked at 30.People aren’t paying enough attention to the PS5 Boost mode enhancing PS4 BC games.
This could be one of the best features of the console.
60fps Blooodborne and RDR2. Only $699.

Not necessarily. I'm wondering if it will improve DRS titles now too. Previously I assumed it may not as a title would be constrained by PS4 BC. But I'm hoping thats not the case now once Boost mode is enabled. We'll need to see.

Imagine fps boost out of the box. I’d go back and play the yakuzas again

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
DRS titles were improved by PS4 Pro's boost mode too. Any game with DRS or unlocked frame rate benefited to some extents. But the max for non-patched BC games was 1080p so there weren't exactly a lot of big variances in most cases.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
It's does, I expect the exact same games to be boosted on PS5 Pro with minor enhancements.

Bloodborne is 30 FPS locked because of the engine not hardware.People aren’t paying enough attention to the PS5 Boost mode enhancing PS4 BC games.

You can have 3x RTX 5090s. It's not going to matter.

What do you mean - most of their presentation was showing off PS4 games.
Their "boost mode' could be terrific, but without an API-level interjection on Sony's part, it'll come down to the games and what they ultimately support. Just like the PS5 running PS4 games: some PS4 games got a nice boost and some are basically identical.

Just think of whatever and toss some “Digital Foundry” or something like that on the title. Guaranteed 4 pages.how do I get in line to create the next PS5 Pro thread?
(Bloodborne didn't even get a PS4 Pro patch)

Louder for the people in the back please. The engine is hardcoded to run in 30 fps, the code can definitely be rewritten to aim for 60 fps, but including stronger hardware does nothing to address this. The extra power doesn't matter until the software is patched, and it never has been (officially). That said, I can see a future where ai upscaling and frame gen is enough to up-rez and make any game feel like a smooth 60 regardless of the input frame data, but we're just not there yet.

This is so painful to read all over the Internet. This is not how it works. 60fps Bloodborne isn't happening without a patch. It's not happening at all because it's been 10 years.

How am I to play my PS4 games when there is no goddamn disc drive?

Nope, they fixed the engine with DS2 release, every souls game since that has no problem reaching 60fps.
Blooborne just needs one os flag removed and it runs 60 on ps5
Sony can do it, but they won't most likely.

But they could easily have done that with the current PS5.

Doesn't base PS5 already do that?

Easy enough to do in fact it’s already been done. Just slap a similar hack to the code like ps5 homebrew did and enable some pssr for a cleaner 4k image and call it a day!PS5 Boost mode enhancing Blooodborne and RDR2 to 60fps

^^ This part, the game code needs to be updated with a patch, boost mode wont magically rewrite the code to push 60

Bruh, if PS5 Pro could play PS3 games with improvements, I'd pay twice what Sony's asking.Just imagine those PS3 games too.
This type of thinking is exactly why this generation is the way it is.

It's not hard coded, it's just limited by console level frame rate cap. Once you disable it it runs 60fps.
Based on hacked consoles we know that Sony can unlock most PS4 games to run 60fps, they don't even need third party developers involvement.
System level Boost mode - "use at your own risk" would be amazing, but of course Sony are pussies and won't do it.

Boost is a drug ? Wrote on Signal my dealer right nowThe difference appears to be the words "pro" and "boost". Pro typically means being a professional, and boost is some type of drug or something, idk.

I've said it before and I'll say it again worse than Sony's ridiculous price of 800 euros for the pro are these cuks and simps of sony who will do and say anything to justify it's price
Games that have Drs and unlocked frame rate will benefit the games that are locked 30 you aint getting shit

the PS5pro SRP in my region is $1069 , which did not includes the vertical stand and disc drive , which adds up to $1275
my region PS5 digital slim console is $605 if there are promos , $735 for disc version if there are promos
$160 - optional disc drive
$45 - Vertical Stand
$200 - 2TB SSD with heatsink
so if i were to get a disc version , it will be at $980 but it will be 3TB worth of space
i can use that $295 for other software or audio purchases , but thats my thinking that i would rather not get a PS5pro

You guys will be simping for scraps at any mention of this, eh?
Buy PS5Pro to play PS4 games!
Buy PS6 to play PS5 games!

I know DF says that but when you play it the game doesn't look bad at all, compared to the One X? it's not as good but it doesn't look bad.

Nobody knows. Everything about it has been very vague, so I'm assuming it's just the regular PS5 Boost Mode for framerates with PSSR applied on top of it for increased visual fidelity.
Bingo. If Sony wants to sell me on this, the Pro had better provide some benefits to my entire catalog and not just for future games, considering this gen is already more than half over.

Yeah - maybe they’ll patch Bloodborne to run at 60fps for free rather selling ‘Bloodborne Remastered’ for £80 as a PS6 launch game

I heard it runs PS1 games at a steady 2160 fps.
Can’t wait to buy it.

Don't wanna make a sperate thread. Cerny said during the presentation that one of the objectives of the Pro was that players wouldn't have to choose between the Quality and Performance modes anymore. The Pro does Quality settings at 60fps. Does that mean we're not getting a super high-quality 30fps mode on the Pro?

Again, nothing has been stated by Sony clearly, but it appears, according to the CNET write up, that all new games must offer a Pro mode, which COULD mean 4k/60fps, but it could ALSO mean 4k/30fps with high quality ray tracing or some other such visual upgrades or even 1440p/60fps.
Bottomline is, no one really knows anything. Sony just keeps using words like "may" and "can", without saying anything definitive.
