I'd like to mention The Crew Motorfest as another game that looks really good on the Pro - picked it up recently and was wowed by the implementation. On a big OLED it looks simply stunning.
@anubisvel Same with me, I struggle with first person view because of motion sickness so don't play many. I could cope with Cyberpunk by turning the camera rotation speed down and because a lot of it is outside so can see a horizon, but 3rd person would make it much easier for me!
Loved the game though, so despite being disappointed by lack of Pro patch I'm curious to see what they're announcing later.
I suspect mine will be Binding Of Isaac this year - idly fired it up again in the summer and couldn't stop playing it for weeks! Not the first that's happened either with that game.
@Juanalf What an unpleasant individual 'nessisonett' is! At least I have now been able to test out the ignore function on here for the first time.
And you're right, imo there are a few disappointing patches, a few brilliant one and most of them sit in the middle somewhere. Overall though I'm really enjoying my Pro and it's weird to me that some people derive pleasure from anything negative related to it.
With discounted PSN credit on top of the sale discounts (never mentioned by those sooo eager to rush in on these articles and post physical prices, despite that being totally irrelevant to those of us who are all digital!), some of these prices are decent.
I was tempted by F1 24 with 60% off but want to wait now for next season with Lewis in red!
I only started Astrobot today and have to say despite enjoying many many games, rarely has a game made me smile and laugh the way this one has, right from the start.
@Weebleman I too am really enjoying my Pro! A number of games I've tried (esp No Man's Sky, F1 24 and Dragon's Dogma 2) are wayyy better than on my old base PS5.
And as for Stellar Blade...well, what I've seen of that has convinced me to put it onto my wishlist, it's a big leap over the PS5. And as the article says, lots of games without specific patches are still better. Had a quick blast on Robocop earlier and it's smoother, holds to 60 better and looks like a higher res due to DRS.
People saying there's 'no difference'.....I simply don't know what to say!! I understand the ones who haven't bought one saying it, for reasons, but those who have bought a Pro and got it hooked up to a decent TV? I know not what to say!
I'll be putting the hours into Dragon's Dogma 2 this weekend. But also some Stardew Valley, on the 1.6 update, just because. Hope we get some more DF/NXGamer content too with more indepth analysis, love that stuff.
Bit of a weird take imo - game is wayyyy better on Pro, even with RT on the framerate holds up - 60fps almost all the time on balanced, and still within VRR window even on quality.
YMMV of course but on my Sony OLED I've been more than impressed with the improvements! It's not perfect on PC builds costing twice the price but the Pro patch has at least finally made the game experience enjoyable for me.
@Orochilocka You're ok you can still benefit from 40fps modes at least, and yes get an OLED when you can!
Apart from DD2, quick go's on No Man's Sky and F1 24. Both impressive, F1 looks very real with the lighting now. Sony knew what they were doing here - so glad I got a Pro rather than spend the next 3/4 years 'waiting for PS6' with my face pressed up against a metaphorical window looking inside at the goodies!
Pre-ordered on Sony direct and got mine delivered 815am. Really enjoying it! Dragon's Dogma 2 difference is crazy. Got Stellar Blade on my wishlist after seeing the improvements there.
@tinCAT-zero haha, yes I can't be doing with fun sponges so I've made use of the 'ignore' for the few who post negativity on, as you say, every article mentioning a product that they're supposedly not at all interested in! People, huh?
I also spent some time on No Man's Sky and F1 24, but I'm going back to DD2 for the rest of the day. Glad we're all enjoying our Pro's!
@Orochilocka I think the same, glad you are loving it as much as me. Like someone else on here I also bought myself a new Sony OLED few months ago to replace my existing set so I can benefit from 120hz and VRR. Feel very fortunate.
So far it's Dragon's Dogma 2 that has impressed me most as it was so awful on my base PS5 and I loved the first game so much. Now, even with ray tracing on it looks great and holds 60fps. Anyone who has that, DO go back and see for yourself the difference is huge!
Can't wait to try some other stuff over next few days.
@species It's a shame, I'm very new here but have noticed it myself. it just shows up the worst sides of human nature that I don't enjoy!
Why can't people who aren't even getting a Pro just be happy for all of us who are? Much less stressful for them than sniping and being negative over and over for the sake of it too! No-one likes a fun sponge or a drama llama lol

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Fed Up with Activision's 'AI Slop' Artwork
Yes the fingers look silly, but AI in general seems to be creating a whole new generation of luddites, which is frankly embarrassing.
The weird hatred for it is irrational and really isn't a good look.
As others have said, this'll all be forgotten in a few years and the few who rage against anything AI will look even more odd.

Re: Out Today: PS5 Pro, the Most Powerful Console Ever
Wow! Living up to my username today, DPD dropped my Pro off at 815am and have just popped on to say I'm very very impressed.
Worth every penny (to me) and yes, I'll be buying a PS6 too whenever that appears.
Gaming is good today, now back to Dragon's Dogma 2 (which is sooooo much better now!)
Have fun everyone

Re: PS5 Pro Makes Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Look Like a Whole New Game
@Kloppo NXGamer said his review is up at 11AM Wednesday, so I guess that's the time for all of them.
Can't wait! Saw Dragon's Dogma 2 clips online and they're equally as impressive as this one. Can't wait!
Re: PS5 Pro Unboxings Now Online, Same Box Basically
@Dodoo Thanks! Just seen on an unboxing vid that the review embargo is 11am on Wednesday so not long before all the info is out there for us.
Re: PS5 Pro Unboxings Now Online, Same Box Basically
Definitely excited! Can't wait for Thursday and I hope everyone else gets their Pro's on release day.
I used Sony Direct so hopefully all good.
Re: PS5 Pro vs PS5: Full Tech Specs Comparison

Nearly as excited about it as I am for the 1.6 update for Stardew finally dropping later today. 😀
