Just got the Pro and an OLED TV (S90D). I already have Demon's Souls, which looks and runs fantastic. What are some other games that best demonstrate the Pro's power?

 

[ByWatterson]

Space Marine II.

Guaranteed.

 

[PurePlatinum]

The only game that's night and day to the naked eye and not some nerds like digital foundry, is Rebirth.

 

[ryan90k]

FF7 Rebirth and Alan wake 2

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

The only game that's night and day to the naked eye and not some nerds like digital foundry, is Rebirth.

Alan Wake 2 seems like a good case as well.

edit: Gran Turismo 7 has in-game ray tracing which it lacked before.

 

[ryan90k]

To be honest Horizon forbidden west and spiderman 2 also have great ps5 pro modes, Rachet and Clank is another

 

[Mister Wolf]

Monster Hunter Wilds and Assassin's Creed Shadows.

 

[kevboard]

uh... Gran Turismo I guess?

most games will not have obvious improvements unless you have a direct comparison in front of you.

Gran Turismo has in-game raytracing now on Pro, so that's a bit more noticeable than what most games got (which is usually just a sharper image)

Yeah, the addition of RTRT in-game in GT7 adds a lot of immersion, even though it can be subtle.

 

[Spukc]

Alan wake 2 that 40 fps mode is sick
gt7 only in psvr2 mode. No time to enjoy RT shit in a race game sorry.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Alan Wake 2 boys ? sorry, but it still has shimmering/artifacting up the arse...

Anyway :

Space Marine 2 is an OK example since it has both better framerate and image quality (i.e, less blurry) compared to the base version.

Monster hunter wilds is also a good candidate since on base consoles both IQ and performance is a friggin' joke.

Resident Evil 4 Remake runs at 60fps with all the bells and whistles turned on (RT/hair strands/etc) and features a better IQ with less pixel crawling/shimmering due to PSSR.

Stellar blade, while still very pretty looking on base PS5, has pristine IQ on the Pro (Pro mode).

Lords of the Fallen, on the Pro, is one of the best looking games of this gen, pristine IQ AND 60fps performance.

Warhammer 40K : Darktide : Better framerate, better IQ

Dragons Dogma 2 : prime example of a "better PS5 Pro" version since everything is better.

FF7 Rebirth : PS5 quality mode at 60fps

 

[intbal]

Saints Row (2022)

Wait, wait... hear me out.

OP, you asked which game would best demonstrate Pro's power. Saints Row has locked resolutions and unlocked framerates. So nothing is lost to dynamic settings. This game shows the exact power increase that you're getting from Pro over a standard PS5.

 

[LordOcidax]

Gran Turismo
Astro Bot
The Matrix Demo
Rachet And Clank
Alan Wake 2

 

[SKYF@ll]

Truck Driver: The American Dream *PS5 Pro versions is using HWRT for reflections, ambient occlusion (AO) and lighting (RTGI).

Fortnite : +50% resolution , HWRT (high Reflections & epic Diffuse lighting)
Marvel Rivals , The first descendant : HWRT , IQ improvement

FF7 Rebirth : PSSR 4K (night and day IQ improvement)

 

[AngelMuffin]

AC: Shadows.

 

[Metnut]

KCD2. It's the game of the year too.

 

[powder]

Gran Turismo
Astro Bot
The Matrix Demo
Rachet And Clank
Alan Wake 2

Call me crazy but I don't think Astro Bot even has any raytracing? I played it on my Pro and noticed higher resolution on shadows and stuff but not much else.

 

[rubik's dude]

The Matrix Demo

Wish I would've grabbed this before it got delisted.

I was really disappointed with Alan Wake 2 on the Pro - even after they bungled the launch patch they barely fixed it and just said "fuck it" it seems.

 

[AGRacing]

Fortnite is no joke with Pro. The RT reflections and lighting combined with PSSR make the game have a depth it didn't have before.

 

[Codes 208]

I do appreciate how Demon Souls added a cinematic mode for the pro (4k/60fps with all the bells and whistles of the old quality mode)

 

[REDRZA MWS]

I don't know. I've had my ps5 pro since launch day and have pro enhanced games and the honest truth is I don't see much difference at all this time. I saw a nice jump on ps4 pro because of the advancement of 4k TV's. But this time….. I'm just not seeing that same jump.

I game on a 77" LG GX, has hdmi 2.1. I like the fact it has VRR, instant game mode, instantaneous response times, but my PS5 already did all that on it.

All this business about Ray tracing I highly doubt we'll ever see a very noticeable difference until the hardware is much, much more powerful.

I totally forgot it was delisted…

I kind of feel the same way. I just saw something about a "PSSR 2" leak that sounds like it might help push fidelity upscaling capability even further, so I imagine ray-tracing effects will eventually start to become more standard. Something to look forward to, at least.

 

[Bitstream]

The honest truth of it is, after all this time the best looking PS5 game is still Demons Souls, and they already delivered a perfect experience on the PS5 that the pro isn't really a big jump from there.

 

[FUBARx89]

Stellar blade, while still very pretty looking on base PS5, has pristine IQ on the Pro (Pro mode).

RE4 remake only has PSSR on HFR mode. Has obnoxious pixel crawl and break up on sniper scopes, which also turns into a blury mess when moving the scope about and shimmering on some grass.

Stellar Blade too has problems with pulsing and shimmering grass. I noticed it at the end and it was really bad.

 

[yogaflame]

Astrobot, Gt7, Stellar blade, Death stranding directors cut, Ratchet and clank, Silent hill 2 remake, and FF7 rebirth.

FF7 Rebirth : PS5 quality mode at 60fps

Stellar Blade too has problems with pulsing and shimmering grass. I noticed it at the end and it was really bad. (At least on Pro mode with HFR enabled)

Rebirth isn't quality mode at 60 either. It's performance using PSSR. NPC density in towns is the big give away, but God damn is it an amazing upgrade. I couldn't tolerate the ugly blurry mess it was on base PS5 and 30fps sucks.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Rebirth and MH Wilds.

 

[PurePlatinum]

The honest truth of it is, after all this time the best looking PS5 game is still Demons Souls, and they already delivered a perfect experience on the PS5 that the pro isn't really a big jump from there.

This is still the most "next-gen" feeling game to me, and it's a remake.

Joke of a generation.

Bluepoint knows how to get the most out of consoles... and they use their own engine.

imagine if it was made with UE5 by a different dev team lol. you'd have artistically worse looking GI, which would also look temporally unstable, and it would run at 1080p at best.

 

[CZY]

Huge waste of money. I'm rich (bitch) so idc but yeah. The improvements across all my games is at like 6% overall. Ridiculously worthless.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Where is the power it will demonstrate?

All it has is AI stuff that seems to be bugged in perpetuity.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Technically the most impressive update must be Fortnite. Almost 60% more resolution + hardware RT for lumen and reflections. It just shows most others game don't properly use the new RDNA4 RT hardware, even games having RT on Pro.

 

[SJRB]

 

[Parazels]

People tend to get used to better things as a given and no longer admire them.

 

[Kaachan]

It's Demon's, Rebirth and Horizon

 

[diffusionx]

As someone who just got a S90D OLED TV myself, check out Forza Horizon 5. You get the graphics of the 30fps quality mode at full 60fps.

Also DMC5 if you haven't played a 120fps game, that mode runs much better on the Pro than the base PS5.

 

[Hideous Snake]

First of all, congratulations on your purchase. My recommendation would be FF7: Rebirth and SURELY Forza Horizon 5

 

[Markio128]

Don't sleep on a few games that have been improved just through sheer grunt (no Pro patch), like The Witcher 3, Elden Ring and Cyberpunk. Basically any game with unlocked fps/res.

 

[Shaki12345]

Alan Wake 2 at 40fps does crazy shit which was apparently hard work for Remedy to pull off.

 

[Seomel]

Ff rebirth, lords of fallen, dragons dogma 2, hogwarts, horizon zero dawn remaster, re4 remaster

 

[analog_future]

FF7 Rebirth : PSSR 4K (night and day IQ improvement)

 

[REDRZA MWS]

People tend to get used to better things as a given and no longer admire them.

I've had my pro since launch day. I felt exactly the same on launch day as I do today.

 

[Hudo]

Maybe the upcoming Naughty Dog game? I mean, from a graphics point of view, it will look quite nice.

 

[Seomel]

I know DF has brainrotted some people, but would you notice this sitting 10ft away from tv?

 

[analog_future]

Yes.

And we're talking in a thread focused on visuals. So it's fair to critique said visuals.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Why do people do this? Are you playing the game 10x closer? lmao

 

[Seomel]

Yes.

And we're talking in a thread focused on visuals. So it's fair to critique said visuals.

"yes" why you lying tho?
Also sure it viduals thread, ill give you that, but its not like ff7 remake door which was in your face, i find hard to believe someone would look at that screencap and point out low res pebble

It takes up like 1/4 of the screenshot and it's right in your face. I noticed it instantly which is why I grabbed a screenshot of it.


I'm a self-proclaimed graphics whore. I 100% would immediately (and DO immediately) notice things like this in-game.
