if the rumblings sound right mark said there would be 6 months between updates for pssr , meaning the next update would bring it around the date of gta 6 , pssr 2.5 or 3.0 whatever it will be around the same time as gta 6 could be interesting.
@carlos82 i'm sure you are in for some good news , taken with a grain of salt it sounds like re1 remake has been in production for 2-3 years currently , along with the rumored code veronica remake due out next year , and re:0 has been worked on for 3-4, plenty of resident evil to come over the next couple of years.
@Contimaloris i noticed that too , so i just ended up buying the digital version which works out better for me since i have two ps5's a pro and base in different rooms. i feel like it will be this way now unless you preorder games , which i noticed a lot of games aren't available to preorder like they use to, when you could preorder months ahead of time.
@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.
@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.
@Americansamurai1 once they changed the way you paid for games they didn't have a reason to close it if people are still buying from it, you have to add money from a ps4/ps5 or on a pc , that was the reason why they were shutting it down because it used a outdated way to take payments.
@Balaam_ i think its time to get over the bluepoint thing , either that or you are trolling about it , but spending this much energy on something thats in the past isn't worth it, also i always do the trophies sorted by earned date i think it looks better that way personally.
@Areyouthatdumb the PlayStation 5 Pro can run PSSR / PSSR 2.0 because it has hardware designed for machine-learning upscaling, while the PlayStation 5 does not. The base PS5 simply lacks the dedicated hardware needed to run that technology efficiently.
@Balaam_ idk if you got another response but im pretty sure pssr 2.0 improves every game , certain games can patch upgrades beyond what it naturally does though
i feel like they are making games depending on what sells , but at the same time then why is it on the xbox if that's the case? then again final fantasy made a tweet out with lighting refueling the rumors for a ff13 remaster , so if that happens all will be forgiven.
i've never been so confused about a game in my life , i mean it could be amazing , it could be awful , but it looks amazing , but does it play amazing? i mean from what i've seen it looks crazy but crazy in a good way , like a mix of final fantasy meets witcher except its not witcher
@Vladspartan its not propaganda for anything lol, df was sent a ps5 pro with the game on it to test , and they showed off what they saw. i think you are taking this too deep, or you are just trolling.
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.
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.
