Re: 'A Great Showcase for PSSR 2': PS5 Pro's New Upscaler Continues to Get Rave Reviews

twitchtvpat

@Number09 sony isn't leaving the base ps5 to "rot" its still a fine machine depending what you have for a tv , if you tv is just a 4k tv with out vrr or 120htz screen , then you wouldn't be able to get much use from the pro. but the baseline ps5 doesn't have the hardware to use improvements like pssr because it doesn't have the hardware in its gpu to run an upscaler and the game at the same time.

Re: After PS5, PS4, and PS Portal, Even PS3 Gets a Console Update

twitchtvpat

@zekepliskin i get it , i still have a playstation 3d tv /monitor hooked up to my ps3 , i still play it time to time, but i feel like a lot of people look back at the ps3 and remember it better then they did when it was actually out , in all reality the ps3 software had very low / poor sale attachments compared to number of ps3's sold , not to mention a lot of the 3rd party ps3 games ran much worse compared to the 360 , to the point where the ps3 was sony's biggest failure , luckily the first party teams picked it up enough for a decent enough push in the back half of the consoles life to make the sales numbers look almost decent.

Re: 'An Even Smoother Experience': Developers Chime in on PS5 Pro's PSSR 2 Update

@Areyouthatdumb i feel like the biggest thing with a base ps5 vs a ps5 pro , is you also need the right tv to make it worth having a pro imo, if you have a 4k 60htz tv with out vrr then the ps5 base model works perfect for that tv as you won't be able to use the ps5 pro's best features with that tv, if you have a 4k tv that supports vrr , 120htz , having the pro imo would be worth it. the ps5 base model is still a very good console though, i put mine in my bedroom and still use it.

it sounds like they'll be releasing another video with the base ps5 and xbox consoles with in the next few days though. i feel like they would have done a deep dive with the pro first either way. honestly though i still think it will look and play really well on the base ps5 , just with out as much reflections.

Re: The Excellent Silent Hill 2 Remake Has Attracted Five Million Players

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.

Re: Hands On: Assassin's Creed Unity's PS5 Update Has Made Us Rethink That 5/10 Review

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.

Re: As PS6 Delay Rumours Swirl, Fans Debate Ray Tracing's Worth

twitchtvpat

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.

Re: As PS6 Delay Rumours Swirl, Fans Debate Ray Tracing's Worth

@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.

Re: As PS6 Delay Rumours Swirl, Fans Debate Ray Tracing's Worth

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.

Re: PS5 Pro Sales Explode on the Back of PSSR 2 Hype, System Sells Out in Some Stores

twitchtvpat

@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.
