Support NeoGAF

[Topher]

That's not even on the list of supported games? Placebo, or does the PS5 Pro enhance games regardless?

Believe Division 2 is one of those games with uncapped frame rates and DRS so could be it just scales up to the hardware.

 

[Joel Was Right]

1st impressions:

• It's a lot smaller than I expected. Nice!
• Controller feels smaller, too, or certainly lighter? The D-pad feels a little cheaper. Less movement there I feel.
• Oh shit, the visuals for DA Performance Mode are so much better! I am really pleased with what I'm seeing here.

It's never going to beat a good PC.

Who said its gonna beat PC?

 

[Teh Chosen Juan]

Jeez.Us.

and with hdr on an oled it looks incredible. the future's going to be AWESOME.

 

[SlimySnake]

Did anyone test out Avatar? it had a large DRS range of 1800p to 1296p. Basically 75% FSR scaling all the way down to 58%. is the PS5 Pro looking sharper than it did before in quality mode?

TrebleShot talked about it, but I'm not sure what his source is.

A game not many would have tried has confirmed something cool.

Avatar Pandora has DRS and keeps to the upper range it actually looks half decent in performance mode without a patch v impressive.

 

[Danjin44]

the disc drive thing is insulting really
and it's a friggin blu ray drive too--sony owns that crap

I dont know what Sony was thinking with this crap. currently its much easier to find PS5 Pro than disc drive and if most of the games you own are physical then PS5 pro fucking useless.

I want to know whats fucking logic behind this idiotic decision and I hope to god they dont pull this crap with PS6.

 

[Vr46]

I m lovin 'it

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Who said its gonna beat PC?

Well, I don't agree. Ps5 pro is THE reason why I did not get a gaming PC. The gap is narrower than ever and does not compensate the loss of convenience and easiness of the console. But to each his choice .

It's pretty evident by his post he is favouring and hinting that there is zero point of a PC, because the Pro is 'just as good'

It just isn't

And this is coming from someone who just bought one, but has a better spec PC.

He is just applying the same logic as those that say Pro isn't worth it if you already have a PS5.

Let's be real, to the average person, there is barely any difference if you look at face-offs between consoles and PC nowadays.

If those fuckers release the PS6 without a drive and no option to add a drive I'm switching to PC.

 

[MikeM]

It's never going to beat a good PC.

Good is purely subjective. But PC doesn’t give me access to all PS games.

Will my 7600x/7900xt beat a Pro? You bet.

Does my PC have any ability to play Demons Souls, GT7, Rebirth or Stellar Blade today? No.

Therein lies my problem, so buy, I must, a Pro.

Not at all. He said:

Your anger that it exists got the best of you

 

[Arsic]

Are you guys putting anything under it horizontally or just placing it right on a shelf?

I wasn’t sure if putting it on a hard book or a small wooden box is better somehow.

 

[Sooner]

I learned my lesson after missing my Pro delivery yesterday for a shower. No more showering for me. PS5 Pro has arrived.

I bought the disc drive right away! when its sony announced the ps5 pro and its compatible to that machine.

 

[Lng0004]

280 or 300? Back market is offering me 280

I thought it was $300, but maybe $280. I traded mine in with 2 controllers anyway and got $350. It's kinda dumb that they're giving you an extra $50-70 for a used controller lol. Just go find a used on on FBM or something.

True, and with the Pro out and not being bad at all in the specs department they really should start implementing more options in game for more graphical options

Make it more 'PC' like. It's got the headroom now.

Your anger that it exists got the best of you

So angry I bought one

I was getting at this..

If you had the choice between the two, buy a PC, it's much better in the long run.

 

[XXL]

Some of upgrades are pretty huge.

FF7R
RE4
NMS VR
Kayak VR
Baldurs Gate 3

NMS VR is unbelievably better. It's on a FF7R level upgrade.

There’s barely any difference if you look at ps5 to pc comparisons? But yet, ps5 pro is a great upgrade from ps5?

Yea it's a bloody joke honestly. Can't find a drive anywhere in Australia and haven't been able to since they announced the Pro and people snapped them up. I have enough digital stuff to keep me occupied but I have a lot of AAA releases on disc that I simply just cannot play right now.

This is for the people who upgrading from PS4 and for people who like to play the best console version of the game.

Yup I'm on a 77" B3. Wondrous.

Where did I say there aren't any differences?

Edit:

But yes. If I show face-offs to my gf or parents, they barely would notice any differences between base PS5 and PC.

 

[GymWolf]

I like the disc drive separate! Incase the disc lens cant read anymore. You have to buy another ps5 or repair it which is most expensive than get another disc drive.

Never happened to me with any console ever but i guess that's a plus...

 

[Bojanglez]

I took the day off work to indulge in the pro today. Only tried the following....

Fortnite, couldn't tell any difference.

Spider Man MM - Looks fantastic and running at 90-110fps

Demon's Souls - Looked great at least, flawless now, spun it up to try for 10 minutes, spent nearly 3 hours in it

Baldur's Gate 3 - Looks great, feels solid at 60fps

Can't wait to have more time on it, most exited to see NMS and Kayak Mirage in PSVR2 later

 

[TrebleShot]

TrebleShot talked about it, but I'm not sure what his source is.

My source is i played it and it looked noticeably sharper than on base ps5.

There's a few games it has had this effect on . It's not patched but means that the DRS range sticks to the higher range.

DRS is actually pretty good for these games. I Think that's what COD does.

The insomniac games you running in fidelity pro modes? They seem to mostly run at 55-60 unlocked

 

[Edmund]

Loving it. I don't know which games to start with first. Having choice paralysis right now lol.

 

[Calverz]

This is for the people who upgrading from PS4 and for people who like to play the best console version of the game.

Yea it seems a good upgrade if you are console only. I think it’s hard to justify going from og ps5 to the pro unless you are a super fan.

 

[Scary_Larry]

Is this vertical stand for $30 worth it? Meaning is this thing flimsy or sturdy?

May just lay it horizontally, but never been done that.

I hear the stand kinda sucks. Also there is a knockoff version of the stand you can get for cheaper.

Currently I'm resting it on my OG PS5 stand vertically. Works fine and has no chance of falling over unless I want it to.

I heard somewhere that VR games would not be able to use PSSR. Do you think NMS is using it?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Highly subjective.

Pro is worth it for the increased performance on PS Portal alone, imo.

 

[TheMan]

I just don't see enough of a difference to warrant the price. I'd rather get a new PC and I probably will soon

 

[MCasey]

For health of the console, is it better to have it vertical or horizontal? Does it not matter?
Debating if the stand is worth it.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

I haven’t hooked up my portal to this yet what’s the improvement?

 

[acidagfc]

The only moving part is the fan, so should not matter at all, as long as air circulation is good.

 

[K' Dash]

You know what would have been real premium, having a disc driver already attached to a premium console without the need for this bullshit.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

For health of the console, is it better to have it vertical or horizontal? Does it not matter?

Probably horizontal seeing that heat rises, but honestly I don’t know just assuming. If you are stacking components on components greater likelihood of heat getting trapped. I’m not sure how much of the design takes that into account. Probably some YouTube videos out there showing the differences in heat based on orientation.

<--------Here
F******s couldn't provide one single disc drive for launch.

I have preordered from two different retailers. No one could deliver a drive.

Checked two electronic stores. Zero Drives from Sony. Called Media Markt no disc drives for release.

I ordered a disc drive from Sony last Friday and it showed up on Tuesday.

 

[Bojanglez]

I was going of what my TV was telling me in VRR mode, can't remember what mode it was

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

I ordered a disc drive from Sony last Friday and it showed up on Tuesday.

In europe the shit is completely sold out for weeks. I even preordered a drive from a retailer on 30th of september. Still waiting because Sony isn't providing any drives.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

One note, the stand sucks ass. It’s wobbly.

Those little plastic feet are truly pathetic lol

 

[Calverz]

Highly subjective.

The whole art is subjective.

I would never recommend upgrading form base ps5 to the pro for the benefit of a portal. That is madness to me.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

I haven’t hooked up my portal to this yet what’s the improvement?

Performance on the PS5 Pro itself.

Games just look better, it's just at 1080p and no HDR.
It's not going to look like 4K on an OLED, obviously. Remote Play just streams the image that's normally displayed by your tv to your Portal, so whatever benefits you get on Pro, you get on Portal (within the limits of Portal's screen).

Edit:

For example, rn I'm playing Ratchet & Clank at Fidelity Pro with RT Reflections and RT Ambient Occlusion both at High and 120hz at AUTO (got a 120hz OLED connected to my PS5) and it looks amazing and plays smoothly. Even more smoothly at Peformance Pro.

Just at 1080p with 60fps screen.

The whole art is subjective.

I would never recommend upgrading form base ps5 to the pro for the benefit of a portal. That is madness to me.

I never said I advice anyone to buy a Pro just for Portal.
It's an added bonus that happens to be a big benefit to me, as 90% of my gametime is spent on Portal due to having a family.

 

[Dr.brain64]

The upgrades on the sony games alone are enough for me. I love it.

 

[DryvBy]

DF was talking up Horizon Remastered as the best looking title and most impressive. I bought it based on this since it was a $10 upgrade.

What a mistake. This game looks dated and within the first minute, I experience shadow glitches in the cutscenes. It looks like a PS4 game on a PC emulator where it forces higher resolutions. I don't even like this series so this was a giant waste. Nothing is super impressive about any of it. Horizon 2 looks incredible on the Pro though.
