And I still don’t understand who the target audience for the Pro is supposed to be. Sony says it’s a console for enthusiasts. But who exactly are these enthusiasts? People who’ve been living in a cave since the PS4 release and haven’t played a single game since then? Enthusiasts aren’t playing PS4 games anymore; they want modern AAA games at the highest technical level. Enthusiasts have already played everything there is on the PS5. Who on earth is this console meant for?
@LogicStrikesAgain 100% agree. Sony has like ~16 or 18 studios now, there is no way in hell that NO ONE besides Sucker Punch has anything ready to show. Even the „but games need longer development cycles!!“ excuse doesn‘t count much longer, with 16-18 first party studios you could expect 3 or even 4 new big games every year, so every studio has to release one big title every four to five years.
When is the 30th anniversary again, next month right? If they don‘t come up on that day with a big big showcase with at least 6 big major titles, sony is literally dead.
I really would like to buy one, even had it preordered but cancelled that shortly after. My biggest issue isn‘t the price or the missing drive, I‘m 100% digital since PS4 Pro.
The only issue I have right now is the absence of games or even a line-up from sony. At the time PS4 Pro was released there were a ton of games coming for it.
The Pro Enhanced list sounds great, if you haven‘t gamed a lot lately. But if you have already played all interesting titles on that list, you ask yourself: Why the heck should I buy a 800€ console if there are no games to play on it..? I don‘t mind most of the third party releases, since they are ALWAYS either a) full of bugs b) have terrible performance c) released in a not so finished state or even all together. I need sony first party titles, because they are polished af, have always great performance, literally playable blockbusters and utilize the console capabilities to the fullest. THIS is gaming for me.
I‘m like really pissed because I really want one but what should I do with it?? I don‘t even know when the next sony game is coming, propably fall 2025 at the earliest with Ghost of Yotei? Wow, great.
For the love of god, I can not understand why they just don’t give us a little glimpse of what’s coming. Just a f*cking 30 seconds trailer with games specifically made for the Pro in mind. Nope not even that, just marketing with old games and oh you can play even older games you have played 223432 times even better. Like wth sony?!
I don't know, maybe it's just a very strange coincidence. EotA is a PS5 Pro launch title and this strangely only runs on the Pro with 60fps. If Alan Wake 2 on the base PS5 packs 60fps then probably also an ant simulator I would guess. Just as it was probably also a coincidence that as soon as the first got his hands on a pro, Sony has announced that the plates no longer fit. Strange coincidences lately, right?
Ahh now the „Sorry you‘re only getting 30fps from now on because we want you to buy the pro eeehhh because the base ps5 is too slow now : (“ times begin
@Northern_munkey Nope, PS5 too. As I said, before Meridian everything was fine. But then it started to crash like absolute crazy. Even worse than cyberpunk on ps4, 6 hours playtime resulted in like 40 crashes now.
Too bad the game is so flawed, it‘s literally unplayable. First hour or so was fine, but since Meridian I can‘t play for 10 minutes straight without crash to homescreen. Nixxes did a REALLY bad job with this, all other bugs weren‘t even mentioned by me and there is a TON of it.
Didn‘t Cerny said they made the Pro because Players wanted more GPU Power? How could he know that five years ago when the base 5 wasn‘t even launched? 🤔
I mean he says a lot of things, like about those graphic modes: „removing this decision is a key target for the Pro“ and what do we have now? Even more modes lol

Re: PS5 Pro Has a Remarkable Impact on Unpatched Games Too
45% more compute power, only 10-15 frames higher? absurd
