Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur Will Be Enhanced on PS5 Pro

@DennisReynolds @Rich33 I probably should have been clearer in my comment as it wasn't intended to be a dig at Sony, just a thought that made me chuckle.

I know some use pssr really well, it's still just weird seeing the xbox logo pop up. Especially when it's likely they will get a boost. Strange times was more the point I intended over anything.

@themightyant and this is the main reason I picked up the pro. The back end of the generation is likely where it will start to shine through, rather than existing titles getting it added.

Similar to you, i will likely dip into a few months of gamepass to check them out and, if there's any i really enjoy, pick them up at a discount for the pro later down the line.

@Mostik it's kind of ironic that Prince of Persia broke the Ubi design pattern, pretty much received universal praise and they decided to cancel a sequel and go back to the rinse and repeat formula they always get called on.

It's a pity it wasn't picked up by more people as its a real gem. I imagine they either see Ubisoft and pass or just decide to wait for the inevitable sale down the line.

Still wakes the deep is superb. I cannot recommend it enough. Helldivers 2 is probably my number 1 this year also. I'm not into PvP games at all so having something i can co-op endlessly with friends is absolute gold. It also helps that it plays superbly and, most importantly, is damn good fun.

Re: Star Wars Outlaws Patches in PS5 Pro PSSR Toggle, Lets You Turn It Off

@OldGamer999 this is one of the strangest comments I've read in a while. Nevermind the fact you flip weekly between selling your series x, to then be playing your series x, to then be on your new pro, which you now think is made by scum. It's tiring to keep up old boy.

In time this will go away, PSSR will develop and it will do what it's meant to be doing, and likely do it well. All this talk of suing folks has more drama than ITV.

Edit: and now you've refunded your pro. Good lord man

@Raffles I don't game on PC otherwise I'd probably be doing the exact same thing you are. It's not that I don't appreciate PC's or dislike them, it's simply that I have very few hours to actually game these days. Kids, work, life, etc... getting in the way. The plug and play nature of consoles fits better with it all, so I figure I may as well have the best box available for when I can get near it.

From the sounds of it, GT7 aside, you are probably set until something comes along that really needs it. Like I say, it's a hard sell as it is, especially considering you basically have all you need already.

@Raffles I was actually a late buyer for the pro. Didn't really feel the need for it to be honest. Then a day or two before launch the whole 'new gadget' thing kicked in and I plunged. More to future proof for the back end of the gen than anything as I thinks that's where the benefits will become apparent.

To be honest, I'm enjoying the little benefits but id find it hard to say yes, you spend that 700. Truth be told, I think it's hard to sell it to folks based on your own experience with it. There are things that felt wonderful to me. There are also things i look at and have to google if its actually been patched or not. My wife was basically looking at the screen saying 'tell me again why you spent 700 on this?' And I had a pal over earlier looking at me like a snake oil salesman as well.

I suppose that's the thing with mid gen refreshes. There are wow's in there, some may see/feel things others don't, but the wows are a little more buried than a generational leap. If that makes sense.

@Raffles im on a C1 oled so i played the same as you previously and it genuinelydoes feel head and shoulders above the base one, to me anyway. Obviously that may differ for yourself.

The resolution doesn't dip from 4k (the base one varies if I remember correctly, could be wrong), and the 120 lock really does make a difference. The best I can say to you is try it and see for yourself. You can feel and see it immediately.

I'm keen to try the pro patch but id probably still stick with this if it's available. It's that good.

Edit: I'm also intrigued to see if the pro will enhance the vr mode as its already one of the best experiences in vr

Edit 2: my bad, it's a 4k lock.
