Poll: *The Official PlayStation (PS5/PS5 Pro) Thread*

[Timber]

I wonder if the lack of games being shown in detail is not just because it's very hard to show off over the internet the differences but also because there aren't that many games ready. I can imagine there is a huge last minute effort on AC:Shadows as they get closer to release and any PS5 Pro version isn't Ubisoft's top priority. I also wonder if this 840p news is again something to do with the two games in question and how they were presented. Although Remedy games have always been demanding and brought consoles to their knees (i.e. Control on PS4/XBO).

How PSSR performs and uptake of older games being improved is going to be critical for PS5 Pro. And unfortunately we won't really know anything until this thing is out.

All we can do is speculate until this thing is out in the wild and actually in the hands of DF and such other channels

That’s where I’m at.

There are some full Res photos in this article to compare.

Come pixel-peep what the PS5 Pro can maybe actually do

Will a 10MB screenshot help you justify a $700 purchase?

I downloaded a few, there is a difference, but it's not huge.

We need our expert pixel creeping forum members to do some analysis once its available.

Pre-orders go live 26/09 so I’ve added my CC to Amazon ‘just in case’

Absolute game changer...



Better pre-order my magnifying glass so I can see the difference when sat across the room

I think I’ll wait to judge anything until the console is in my hands / entertainment setup

There is a rumoured first party state of play happening potentially this week / next.

They desperately need one. To undo the mess they’ve made.

What can they possibly reveal? It can't be a price cut. It can't realistically be any new PS5 Pro specific game. Maybe something like free disc drive to first 100,000 orders or something like that.

Tis but a scratch this whole thing in comparison to some of the blunders made over the past few years.

I also think boost mode (?) will work with a lot of games, too

I think you're overestimating how much Sony cares.

Really not needed. My slim stands fine and has no stand.

I think it sells out day one to be honest, regardless of what happens at the State of Play next week.

The 'just buy a PC' counter argument doesn't really weigh up unless you've already got a PC and fancy spending 700 to upgrade a few components, and it especially won't appeal to the people that just want to buy the latest and greatest.

It'll be interesting to see how PSSR does stack up against DLSS, XeSS and FSR when it's actually available to test - but anything will be an improvement on FSR on consoles right now.
