Support NeoGAF

[mckmas8808]

Correct me if im wrong. PS5 Pro will not add new modes but only improve existing PS5 modes? There will be no exclusive PS5 Pro modes? So if the game runs 30 fps on base console it will be 30fps on PS5 Pro?

This is incorrect. There can be exclusive PS5 Pro graphical modes if the devs want there to be one. And the last sentence is wrong too.

Soooo... They expect folk to pay £700 and then hope that their favorite game gets a patch to increase the resolution with no guarantee that it ever will? I'm really struggling to see who this is for, because the folk that care about resolution and enthusiasts would have already solved this by now by going PC, so who's left for this? And to be locked into an ecosystem of around 21 true exclusive games? The more you look into it the worse the deal gets.

All games after July of 2024 will be PS5 Pro ready. If that isn't good enough for you, then don't buy it. And if the PS5 only has 21 true exclusives, then that means Xbox has zero exclusives right?....

I wont be getting one at all because all games are "pro" ready with my PC as it is. I think Rare Replay is exclusive to xbox? And another handful of games?

 

[T-Cake]

Will Microsoft block pro patches on games like black ops 6

No because then the certification process wouldn't be granted for the normal PS5 version either. All games released "after summer 2024" are required to support PS5 Pro.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

How tf is Elden Ring not on there?

 

[hemo memo]

How tf is Elden Ring not on there?

Because From would rather put resources into better things.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Because From would rather put resources into better things.

I'd expect Sony to do whatever it took to get that on the list. Insane miss.

 

[R6Rider]

Because From would rather put resources into better things.

Maybe they can finally make their lighting not look like shit.

 

[mckmas8808]

Now play the game. I bet you wouldn't feel that way after that.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

It's funny how on one hand most of GAF claims they don't buy physical games, yet now when it comes to the PS5 Pro everyone likes to state they want to buy the optional disc drive.

Because even if most people own mostly digital, they still have at least a handful of physical games in their library! You've had a couple bad takes in this thread bro.

 

[VictorVectors]

Nice to see Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth which will clearly be used as the standout improved titles

I wonder if unoptimized base titles like Elden Ring will play at 60 now?

where the hell is Wukong and Space Marine 2

40-50 pro patch titles leaves hope for Wukong and Space Marine yeah

 

[tommib]

How tf is Elden Ring not on there?

Because it has unlocked frame rates, including an unlocked raytraced mode.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Dragon's Dogma 2.

As nice as a visually upgraded Dragon's Dogma 2 experience would be, I'll just save up to upgrade my PC. Hopefully, by the time I've done so, there's a dlc too.

Imo it's worth it to get it on PC. Plays like a dream at 60fps, plus there's a lot of mods already like being able to customize the difficulty.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

And pay a subscription for heated seats

That too. Dunno whether to laugh or cry. Its tragic. I think BMW tried to pull that stunt

 

[nial]

How tf is Elden Ring not on there?

Because From would rather put resources into better things.

or maybe because that's 13 games out of 40-50?

 

[semiconscious]

Now play the game. I bet you wouldn't feel that way after that.

i play on a 1080p sony bravia, & i have average eyesight. i'm pretty sure i'd still feel that way (not to mention, i have no interest in buying the 'part 1' remake, & nothing in the universe could get me to suffer through the sequel again, no matter the graphic 'enhancements')...

 

[Beechos]

I just wanted Bloodborne, man.

Imagine the shitshow if bloodborne doesn't get enhanced.

 

[ManaByte]

Imagine the shitshow if bloodborne doesn't get enhanced.

 

[Bitstream]

I want bloodborne like the rest of you, but it's not going to happen. Probably a PS6 Launch Title, PC release in 2030

 

[RPSleon]

Im still putting off playing prey on ps5 because its 30fps.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Imagine going back in time 25 years and showing someone the difference between 2 and half) generations of consoles.

I mean, they'd be blown away by how far it had come, but also, how little it had changed in 10 years or so.

 

[Three]

where the hell is Wukong and Space Marine 2

Won't those benefit from boost mode automatically?

Wukong is an interesting one because it has 3 modes with 2 of the modes having unlocked fps. Balanced mode could hit ~60. And fidelity would become the new Balanced at ~40fps. Performance would be an odd one since that would be locked 60 with framegen like PS5 base. This is without a patch. Let's see though because I remember Game science mentioning the possibility of 4k60fps in the future which might be Pro related.

 

[rubik's dude]

The "Pro enhanced" thing confuses me. Shouldn't games just automatically run better without any sort of enhancements, since it's higher spec? Will games need to be manually "enhanced" to take advantage of the Pro's higher specs?

Like, if I wanted to buy a Pro in the hopes that BG3 would run better, will it only run better if Larian releases a "Pro enhanced" patch?

 

[Dr. Suchong]

 

[Bernoulli]

Where's Returnal? Astro Bot? God of War?

Returnal could be the biggest improvement on the pro

 

[RoadHazard]

Kind of want one for AW2... Haven't played that yet, waiting for the physical release.

 

[Salty Pickle]

So PSRR will do nothing about the FPS? DLSS do nothing to increase FPS? In those cases were the game is CPU bound?

That game can still be further optimized since it runs better on XSX with almost identical CPU.

 

[CitizenKratos]

This is silly as it is in no way an exhaustive list. We know no man’s sky will get a patch.

 

[Banjo64]

The PS3 one still looks the best, no cap.

 

[Skifi28]

The "Pro enhanced" thing confuses me. Shouldn't games just automatically run better without any sort of enhancements, since it's higher spec? Will games need to be manually "enhanced" to take advantage of the Pro's higher specs?

Like, if I wanted to buy a Pro in the hopes that BG3 would run better, will it only run better if Larian releases a "Pro enhanced" patch?

Everything targeting a dynamic resolution or having fps drops will automatically run better due to a better GPU and small increase in CPU clocks, but PSSR isn't automatic and developers will have to patch games to use AI reconstruction.

 

[Preseznik]

They can still get me with substantial COD upgrades, GT7 VR upgrades (or any racing game VR additions).

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

May just bite for FF7 Rebirth Enhanced alone.

You’re gonna spend $700 to replay a game you already played?

Dang.

 

[Radical_3d]

You’re gonna spend $700 to replay a game you already played?

1 Saw the DF video.
2 Decided to keep it sealed until pro.
3 Pro too expensive.
4 Depression.

 

[twilo99]

What percentage is that of the total number of games available for the PS5?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

You’re gonna spend $700 to replay a game you already played?

Dang.

Nope, gonna wait for a small retailer discount on the Pro in 2025 down to about £600-650. Sell my PS5 for £250-300 and then I'll make up the rest. Also not just for Rebirth, but new games releasing from now until the end of the gen of course.

You must find a way. Get a 3rd job!!!

Right? for me Wukong is the only one that matters.

 

[Radical_3d]

I’m Southern European: getting a first job is already a chore!

 

[mckmas8808]

Because even if most people own mostly digital, they still have at least a handful of physical games in their library! You've had a couple bad takes in this thread bro.

It's not a bad take. It's reality! There have been many people who have decided to go digital only. The Xbox Series S is proof of this. Some people have given up on physical media. I don't love that, but it's the truth.

 

[mckmas8808]

Returnal could be the biggest improvement on the pro

Why do you say this?

 

[Woody337]

what are the chances of PSSR helping RDR2?

Why would the Pro come down within a year? The PS5 has never had a price drop in 4 years, and in fact the price has actually gone up all over the world with the US being one of the only exceptions.

 

[Bernoulli]

Why do you say this?

Base resolution was bad

 

[Mr Moose]

Imagine the shitshow if bloodborne doesn't get enhanced.

Why would a PS4 game get enhanced?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Why would the Pro come down within a year? The PS5 has never had a price drop in 4 years, and in fact the price has actually gone up all over the world with the US being one of the only exceptions.

The PS5 hasn't had an official price cut, but in the UK regular periods with hefty retailer price cuts in the region of £50-100.

I got my console for £399, a £100 discount during one of these retailer offers.

The Pro will also have the same.

 

[Katatonic]

Curious how FF16 will perform.

 

[mckmas8808]

Base resolution was bad

Awe man. Okay cool. It was on my "play it on the PS5 Pro" list anyway. What was the base resolution of the game?

 

[possumarmada]

Shame no Cyberpunk on there.

I hope they swing back and knock out an update.

 

[R3EUIL]

For £700 I’d expect Xbox like auto framerate/resolution enhancements for hundreds of games, not 15.

They are not the same thing, these 15 games have manual enhancements

I think the first year might be a bit too early. Unless sales are really bad.
