@KundaliniRising333 It's literally a screenshot from the DF video at 6:23. There's also a similar comparison at 16:45.
I think the models are probably very similar in both versions, it's just the PS5 Pro one looks so much better because of the raytracing and lighting improvements, plus the better upscaling on top.
@Max_the_German Of course every dev wants their games to be played by as many people as possible, but at the end of the day, PS first-party's job is to sell PS consoles.
@Areus Well you can't really finish them lol, but I'm up to date on ZZZ and Star Rail. I'll get the Plats eventually but missing a few Trophies in both.
Yeah if you know what you're doing and accept you're not going to get every single character, you can pretty much enjoy everything these games have to offer for free.
And the production values are basically AAA these days.
I know back in the day you'd just essentially be unlocking PNG pictures, but in this case we're talking an extremely detailed open world with tons of activities to do.
Great review, Liam. I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in. A shame about the lopsided nature, but as you say, it still sounds like an excellent experience.

Re: Site News: Where's Our Marathon PS5 Review?
@Retron That’s a totally fair and valid outlook and some publications will choose to take that approach.
We’ve decided to wait and see the Cryo Archive content as it does sound like a pivotal part of the experience.
There’s no right or wrong answer here so we’re just being transparent about the decision we’ve taken.

Plenty of time for both Pragmata and Saros now!
Re: PS6 Competitor from Xbox Revealed as Project Helix
@awp69 I don't think I said the words you're quoting?
Re: PS6 Competitor from Xbox Revealed as Project Helix
@belmont Can't you do all of that with a PC hooked up to a TV today?
Re: PS6 Competitor from Xbox Revealed as Project Helix
@Fiendish-Beaver I don't get that at all. Either people want next-gen hardware imminently or they don't.
Why would you be more interested in owning the follow-up to a console that flopped and less interested in one that was a success?
Re: PS6 Competitor from Xbox Revealed as Project Helix
@TasteMaker Expect it to be extremely expensive or not what you're imagining.
The business model simply doesn't work if they're going to loss lead on hardware then everyone's going to buy their games on Steam.
Re: PS6 Competitor from Xbox Revealed as Project Helix
Good luck.
It will be interesting to see how people respond to this, because all of the PS6 rumours were met with, "It's too early."
Heck our poll at one point was saying most people wanted to wait until 2030.

@Korgon Can't do more than that! I personally don't think it's for me either, but I do like the art.
Re: Out Today: Marathon's PS5 Launch Puts Sony's $3B Live Service Gamble to the Test
@IOI Ouch!

@LogicStrikesAgain Love the edit
Re: Opinion: Sony's PC Pullback Is the Right Move for PS5
@LogicStrikesAgain Thank you for reading!
Re: Opinion: Sony's PC Pullback Is the Right Move for PS5
@Krlozgod I see, interesting.
Re: Opinion: Sony's PC Pullback Is the Right Move for PS5
@Krlozgod Do you think Nintendo would be in a stronger position if you could play Tears of the Kingdom on Steam and PS5?
Re: Opinion: Sony's PC Pullback Is the Right Move for PS5
@darylb24 Doesn't make sense to not bring the live service games to at least PC. Those titles generally require a big audience to survive.

@themaladroit Haha, I'm glad someone got it!

Absolutely insane.
Re: 'It's the Real Deal': Tech Experts Praise PS5 Pro's Upgraded Upscaler
@CrispyMango92 The article hasn't been updated so maybe you misread. I'll usually make a note if I change something significant.

@CrispyMango92 It's in Resident Evil Requiem right now. The system-wide toggle will be added in March.

@Max_the_German Of course every dev wants their games to be played by as many people as possible, but at the end of the day, PS first-party's job is to sell PS consoles.
Re: Here's Your First Look at the God of War TV Show
Kratos is such a difficult character to translate to live action. I’ll remain open minded but I’m not sure about this.
Re: Rumour: Sony Backtracking on PC Strategy, Shifting Towards PS5 Exclusivity Again
@Shinnok789 Kojima is an external partner and if they’re changing strategy now we might not see the outcome of that for a few years.
They’ll have the data to know how well these ports are doing comparative to the impact on their hardware sales/ecosystem.
I don’t think they’ll pull back entirely, but I can certainly see them slowing this strategy down.
Re: Disgaea's Crazy Action RPG Spin-Off Slashes to PS5 This Summer
I played this the other week at Taipei Game Show. It's pretty basic but it's not bad if you like musou games.
I like the name.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem 'Head and Shoulders' Ahead of All Consoles on PS5 Pro
This game looks insane.

Ahhhhh I can't wait for this!
Re: Konami's Iconic X-Men Arcade Game Coming to PS5 Alongside Other Marvel Classics
@Ken_Kaniff Thanks for the heads up on this, I had no idea. Will look into it.
Re: Konami's Iconic X-Men Arcade Game Coming to PS5 Alongside Other Marvel Classics
@Ken_Kaniff Wait what happened to the Trophies?
Re: Konami's Iconic X-Men Arcade Game Coming to PS5 Alongside Other Marvel Classics
@twitchtvpat It’ll be available digitally as well.
Re: Marathon Collector's Edition Might Be the Best We've Ever Seen
@DreadfulDragon Or maybe we just like the game?
Re: Konami's Iconic X-Men Arcade Game Coming to PS5 Alongside Other Marvel Classics
@mwatcher @Smackosynthesis They have added stuff to these collections before, so don't completely rule it out just yet.
Isn't the Genesis version generally considered the superior one though?

@rjejr It's definitely a crazy quote.
Re: If This Marathon Trailer Doesn't Get You Hyped for the PS5 FPS, Nothing Will
@UltimateOtaku91 People are insane if they think this is going to be a Concord.
Maybe it won't be the biggest game in the world, maybe it'll fall short of expectations.
But it's still going to be pretty popular.
Re: This Is the Next PS5 Gacha That's Going to Eat Up All Your Time
@Midnyte-Monkey Yes, I'll be the only person in the world playing this. It's not like these games are huge or anything, after all.
Re: If This Marathon Trailer Doesn't Get You Hyped for the PS5 FPS, Nothing Will
@Retron There's tons of gameplay you can watch now.
Re: If This Marathon Trailer Doesn't Get You Hyped for the PS5 FPS, Nothing Will
@Scottyy I do agree it would be cool if there was a campaign.

@DualWielding A LOT more people than just Hermen will lose their job if that happens so let's hope not.
Re: Wait! Some Fans Will Be Playing Horizon's Divisive PS5, PC Multiplayer Game This Weekend
@UltimateOtaku91 Nope, just an email confirming it's taking place and encouraging people to sign up.
Re: Craving Classic Castlevania? Saint Slayer Hits PS5, PS4 This April
@Theamazing1 All good!
Re: Wait! Some Fans Will Be Playing Horizon's Divisive PS5, PC Multiplayer Game This Weekend
@Alps_Stranger Definitely don't rule it out.
Re: Craving Classic Castlevania? Saint Slayer Hits PS5, PS4 This April
@Theamazing1 I'm a huge fan of Sacred Symbols, and before that Beyond. I don't think this site would exist without Beyond to be honest.
I'm always very grateful for how often Colin and the team quotes our articles.
(Although I do sometimes panic when he reads them aloud in case I made a grammar or spelling mistake!)
Re: Craving Classic Castlevania? Saint Slayer Hits PS5, PS4 This April
@Jacko11 Not into side scrolling action games?
Re: Sony Puts Must-Own PS5 Accessories on Sale in the US
@Max_the_German Still a cool device with lots of good games. Worth it for $299 if you fancy one.

@Petrecis24 I'm down for some classic Castlevania!
