hopefully they do add an expansion , the first one dlc was great, i just bought the horizon fw dlc on sale , so i gotta do that at some point, if they added one to this game it would give me a reason to go back.
its awesome to see not only resident evil thrive in 2026 but silent hill as well. i'm waiting on pssr 2.0 to see how it fixes up the issues ( not that i ever really cared about the issues in the first place) , but i'm excited for them to show off the remake of part 1. hopefully if all goes well , they've already started on remaking part 3.
at this point i'd imagine by the time the ps6 comes out that rt won't even be an issue with performance , and this wouldn't even be a question , but to the next level of would the ps6 be able to do path tracing or do we have to wait for the ps6 pro for that.
I feel like they made the game too good , it wasn't super optimized for consoles at the time, but the game still holds up many years later in 2026 as with the 60fps and 4k res looks amazing. a better lighting system , maybe better particle effects would have been perfect, but going back that far into a older game trying to fix those things would have been too much. but in terms of how the game looked they were way ahead of their time , including how good they made the indoor parts of the buildings as well. not to mention its free running was the best in the entire series.
don't get me wrong , people keep bringing up rt bringing down performance but im pretty sure this article isn't about the baseline ps5, but more like the ps5 pro which can handle both rt and performance , and the ps6 that we don't even know much about yet , but i'm sure can handle rt and performance better then the ps5 pro. this already exists in higher end gaming rigs , but the fact we are getting closer and closer to higher game end gaming rigs in console form is crazy to me.
@Ristar24 fair enough i feel like if you saw or had a pro i think your mind would change , i'll give a pretty good example of a brand new game crimson desert the highest quality mode on base line ps5 has high ray tracing but drops to 30 fps with upscaled 4k, vs the ps5 pro's lowest mode preformance has those same settings with 60fps , with the pro's quality mode at true 4k 30fps with ultra ray tracing while balance on the pro has a slightly better res (1440p) upscaled to 4k with 48fps.
@Ristar24 so you have a base line ps5 ( nothing wrong with that) so i can see why it wouldn't matter to you , when rt looks nice but also dims performance vs the ps5 pro that has both.
@AdamNovice 1,000% this , like i said in my post , pssr 2.0 is a game changer in re9, the lighting , the reflections , this makes me want to test out every game when it fully releases. and pssr is still evolving and improving over time , so its only going to get better from here.
why pick one when you can have both , that's what pssr 2.0 is for. playing re9 with it turned on vs playing it on a base line ps5 i'll take ray tracing every day. also if you can't tell the difference you won't really notice much unless you have a ps5 pro and a tv that is good enough to handle it meaning you need a tv with vrr support , 120 htz , ect to even notice it , if you don't have those things you won't notice a difference.
@Nexozi having tried out those games on the ps4 vs the ps5 and ps5 pro , i will say the ps5 versions blow out the ps4 out of the water , since the base ps4 only supports up to 1080p vs 4k on the ps5.
@themightyant i mean i wouldn't take that stuff too seriously till the official specs are out, but the way sony is improving pssr , by the time pssr comes out we will see 3.0 or higher depending if they keep upgrading the ps5 pro's pssr till then meaning they don't really need to match their specs when software is matching it in performance , while keeping the price down with specs lower then theirs.
@HerlockSholmes if re9 is a sign of things to come , i can't wait to see how every game is going to look and play running on this , almost to the point i don't want to play anything else till this releases lol.
@kmtrain83 honestly i just go by taking everything with a grain of salt till anything is officially shown off , i mean its a cool concept , maybe it will work out , maybe people are building it up to be more then what it will be.
@Boxmonkey i'm guessing they wanted to make it more their own game vs some one else's game , also with the rumor they are or were planning on making more game set in the universe they wanted to change the ending to make it more open ended.
i hope this is true , fallout 3 was one of my favorite games , a version with all the dlc baked in that has a better resolution and better fps would be perfect.
@RoomWithaMoose depends if every game is actually supported and how well those games run. unless it comes with a dedicated gpu like a normal gaming rig , it will be either really under-powered for the price , or not sure what it will be. i can't see every single steam game working on this thing though.
well to the rumors we are getting code veronica next , maybe announced somtime this year for actually next year , and re:Zero remake is also being worked on as well , and if the rumor is right , after re:10 , we could possibly see another remake of re:1. personally im excited to see code veronica remake with the re engine. i think it could be great seeing a modern version of chris and claire.
honestly they make too much money off of selling games on playstation , they would be silly not to , at the same time if they make money that way they can take more of a risk on the hardware side, honestly i am keeping an eye out , not sure if i'd get it right away , im still pretty happy with the ps5pro and series X, depends how this new xbox console actually comes out like.
@Americansamurai1 elder scrolls online makes sense because they are trying to sell the expansions , pyschonaughts 2 that was a rare case , im 99% u won't see most of these games on ps+
@Americansamurai1 honestly i doubt you'll see these games on ps+ , you'll see sales and discounts , but ms didn't put these games on playstation to put them on ps+.
i'm gonna be honest i wasn't 100% sold on saros , and wasn't sure if i was going to play it , but the more and more i see and hear of it , my mind is quickly changing.
@DualWielding i feel like they can do that mostly on the back of pssr , 2.0 already is a step up and is pretty impressive so far ( looking forward to trying it with other games when it fully comes out) , but i can already imagine they'd be working on 3.0 for the launch or early on for ps6 , which could help cut costs of the system , imo.
@Ravix i feel like thats why they'll double dip and still lean into the whole game pass idea , in that people that still want an xbox type system will lean into this , and still dip into the software market selling on the playstation.
@LogicStrikesAgain that's what i said , and i have a really nice pc , which is a few years old but still holds up well in 2026 , if i wanted to build a pc like the one i currently have with upgraded parts it would cost me closer to 3,000 instead of the 2,000 i paid for this, but then i look at my ps5 pro on my tv playing resident evil with pssr 2.0 , why spend 3,000 dollars to get something slightly better then what the pro offers currently? which is why i think the progression of pssr into ps6 ( 3.0 or wherever its at by then) will be more important then the actual hardware and could keep prices lower then we expect for it.
i love the game so far , i would have given it a 9.5 if there was something between a 9 and 10, looks amazing reminds me of re4 mixed in with first person from 7 , which makes me even more excited for code veronica remake next imagine the cv remake with this engine and game play 10/10.
@Nitefire7786 i honestly doubt the steam machine would be a worry for sony, same with the xbox, it pretty much was confirmed that ms games are still going to be on playstation , and they are no longer focused on exclusives.
i came here to say this , but i already seen several people have the same idea , this would be perfect for sony to step in , maybe even give them a bigger budget then what they had with netease.
@Dman10 too soon? By the time the ps6 comes out the ps5 will be 9-10 years old. That’s probably the longest gap Sony has had between console generations.
@darylb24 honestly this is just my opinon but i feel like they are pulling nixxes off of pc ports and putting them in a position that bluepoint was in doing remasters/remakes and being a support studio.
@General-Foley i upgraded my tv just for my ps5 pro , and i've tried out resident evil both on my ps5 pro and base ps5 in my room , i'll say this , the ps5 pro blows it out of the water on my tv. pssr 2.0 looks amazing with the reflections ect.
@Lanmanna lets be honest though " i didn't do anything wrong" stories normally are them lying that they didn't do anything wrong and they completely leave out the actual reasons why they were banned.
@Fizza i mean how is it different then releasing a console during a pandemic ? i'd say despite mulitple set backs , pandemic , strikes , and now hardware shortage and costs , the ps5 has been pretty successful. i mean the ps6 isn't going to not come out because of that. in my mind i'll hope that means it will be much easier to get a ps6 at launch but lets be honest it will still sell out.
@glennthefrog i mean this is more of a safe choice if anything every one knows bungie , and that style of game is pretty popular now , see arc raiders , cordcord was already dead before it even came out , i mean how many people even play overwatch now? i barely see any one play overwatch. it feels like it was a decent idea when overwatch was popular but then it died.
@Locksley I tried it out before work I can’t wait to jump in again , after beating resident evil of course. I always thought it was a great looking game just always ran rough.
@CurryPowderKeg79 people forget its actually a ps3 / xbox 360 game that was also ported to xbox one and ps4, so it was still running in tech that supported the ps3.
honestly i thought this was always the plan that they would put some games on pc , and then say if you want to play the sequels or new games you'll need a playstation.
i'll say this a big part of it is that they don't make enough physical copies , the disc version of resident evil requreim was not purchasable on amazon or bestbuy before release. so i just said never mind and bought it on ps5.

Re: As PS6 Delay Rumours Swirl, Fans Debate Ray Tracing's Worth
@Scottyy i'd say the new standard for console rt would be resident evil , which put rt in perfectly in terms of how the game looks.
