PS5 Pro Absolutely Rocks, Says No Man's Sky Developer

No Man's Sky Engine Programmer Martin Griffiths openly said that the PS5 Pro console 'absolutely rocks', having seen all consoles since PS1.

wccftech.com

So far, we haven't heard much about the PS5 Pro straight from developers with the notable exception of the comments gathered by Sony for the official PlayStation Blog last week. However, No Man's Sky Engine Programmer Martin Griffiths took to Twitter (X) to share all his excitement about the upcoming hardware in a very spontaneous capacity.

This beautifully staged screenshot is a fair summary of how I feel tonight. Many of you have noticed that No Man's Sky is now marked as a PS5 Pro enhanced title on the PlayStation store - the only thing I’d like to say, as an engine programmer who has been through all the PS iterations since PS1, is that this console absolutely rocks.

Considering the game plays pretty well on the Switch, the PS5 Pro version better spawn horny holodeck aliens.

I'm more interested in the PSVR 2 improvements from the Pro. It already looks amazing on PSVR 2.

Dude "stood in a virtual queue" to preorder his!

[ozz ex machina]

A game from 2016 is going to run amazingly! WOW!

How can people lap this slop up hahaha.

 

[Akuji]

Not much Info here

I love this gif sooo much.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Are we at atomic scale yet with the POWAH of PS5 Pro Sean?

Some people love their games getting big boosts and can afford to upgrade their console

 

[Bojji]

So much details in what he said.

 

[Metnut]

Cerny console is great. News at 11.

 

[XXL]

So much details in what he said.

I'm sure if he said "PS5 Pro is difficult to work with"

You would say the same thing....

 

[STARSBarry]

Dude "stood in a virtual queue" to preorder his!

He did? I just went to Sony UK today and bought one... it's not like their selling out.

Was the queue procedurally generated?

 

[DeepEnigma]

I'm sure if he said "PS5 Pro is difficult to work with"

You would say the same thing....

He'd have 7 posts on this first page alone.

 

[Gonzito]

Ugh, what a punchable face she has

I woudn't believe it. It's just PS5 but more powerful and PS5 was already called the easiest console to develop for.

It's just funny that they have made entire article with zero new info basically and now we have this thread.

 

[Hookshot]

So it'll be a bit shit for the first few years?

 

[Codeblew]

There was a queue for day 1 preorders. Maybe he was going for one of the anniversary pro like most of us were that were queued up.

I wonder what pro enhancements NMS is getting. The article was light on content to say the least.

I have seen threads created on way less content

I don't like her either. But saying a young girl has a punchable face is kind of fucked up.

Yeah Fidelity Mode is officially much choppier

I agree. It's not much, but it's always good to get developers thoughts on it. Especially since he has so much experience as a programmer.

I think he meant puppeted face.

 

[LimanimaPT]

At that price ir better be.

This I can agree with. Not beating women. Lol.

 

[Gonzito]

Man just because I say someone has a punchable face it doesn't mean I am would beat them. The context is basically that I can't stand her, I am spanish, we make comments like that around here even we dont mean it literally

Going back to the subject, I am happy the developers like the console but when are they going to make No Man's Sky fun to play? It puts me to sleep every single time

People will find negative in anything.

I can't stand her either and I know how you meant it. No worries. It's just kind of fucked up to say is all I meant.

 

[Radical_3d]

21y old woman you mean.

Rather than being banned for answering to this I’ll say that I might jump back to NMS after the Pro patch if I can get it very cheap. Not crazy about the gameplay but the vistas and music are legendary.

Wasn't this one of the games with leaked PS5 Pro enhancements before it was revealed?

Yes, mentioned by Jaybe.

Geez bro. Think about how that comes off when it comes to you a man punching a girl.

Maybe he identified as a woman when he made that tongue-in-cheek statement?

It‘s just the PS4 Pro Pro Pro. Nothing more.

Since the topic moved into greta having a punchable face or not, i thought about posting a funny meme

 

[Imtjnotu]

[Skifi28]

This is the best thing as far as developer adoption goes. Powerful hardware with good tools and easy implementation. I think we're gonna see tons of patches for older games, I would assume more than the PS4 pro.


Edit: Yeah some people on GAF seem to not care for games that are a little older. Well, it's your loss, I'll personally replay tons of stuff like I do after I upgrade my PC.

This kind of comment makes no sense.

1) Being able to run older games better is excellent and why PC is great.
2) The game has been upgraded graphically since 2016, and even if it wasn't, 4k/120hz sounds pretty good to me.
3) He's an engine developer. He's probably involved with their other games.

"Absolutely rocks" is so very american it's jarring.

It's odd to be reminded people actually say it out loud and it's not just something 2000s high school movies made up

Lol that's not really the way it works. If it sucked he would just not say anything and be blasting them to their face behind the scenes.
