Re: Silent Hill 2's Overdue PS5 Pro Fixes Now in Konami's Hands

@Troubbble we know it from the ps4 pro that the base console isn’t any kind of outdated with a pro release. Justifying the „not purchase“ is fine for you, if even necessary.
Otherwise there are games with substantial improvements on the pro. Always a matter of perspective. In general no one needs to buy anything or need to justify a purchase or not.

@SMJ as so often it’s something in between but this for sure might not as catchy enough for the internet. A lot of games showing clear improvements on the ps5 pro as already stated so often, but otherwise there are bad examples.
Is the whole console bad or unnecessary because of some bad examples of games? I don’t think so. Is it acceptable that some games looking worse on the pro as on the base console? No.
We will see what the new iteration of PSSR will bring next year.

@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy but this feeling can also vary heavily. There are people who might claim that nearly everything should run on a ps4 also while others claiming that 1-2 years after a console launch the hardware is already outdated…
The ps5 pro doesn’t have this one clear marketing tag like the ps4 pro but the console should, and often it does, achieve higher resolutions and run the quality graphic modes in a higher framerate and resolution.
The case that some games looking worse on it compared to the base ps5 is simply not acceptable.

All the listed bad examples are UE5 games. PSSR and UE5 mostly doesn’t work that well together, due to the often low resolution and the weak behaviour of PSSR as a denoiser.
We won’t see a huge change in this regards until 2026 when the upgraded FSR4-like PSSR will drop. Hopefully all these games will revive an update then.
To say also something positive, we still have a lot of pretty good Pro updates and a lot of games where PSSR is doing a pretty solid job.

Re: What PS5 Games Have the Best Graphics?

Overall quality: Horizon Forbidden West, Death Stranding 2
Art style: Ghost of Tsushima

Also fantastic: Callisto Protocoll, GT7, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Kena

Great with issues in image quality: Star Wars Outlaws, Alan Wake 2, Wukong, Jedi Survivor, Avatar

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Gets Yet Another Surprise Patch on PS5

@Rich33 pretty curious how this will all turn out with the PSSR update next year and if we see updates for all these games with a mediocre PSSR image quality like Outlaws, Jedi Survivor, SH2, Alan Wake 2, … of it the games will remain in their current state.
For CP2077 honestly I don’t have that much hope that they will give this game a proper pro patch. There is just a very low level support and the game uses the Red engine which is more or less abandoned by CDPR, but let’s hope for the best.
