Apparently not from what I've been reading. Image quality still not where it should be on the Pro.

yeah, was hoping they'd throw some of that in there for us. i mean shit. it should be able to run crisp and clean on a pro at some setting level. it can look great at times, but mostly in motion, it's pretty muddy/blurry/hazy with some upscaling fizzle in spots. other than that, and the woke lib stuff that influenced aspects of the game, i'm haveing a good time with it.

Are you finding changing the screen to fill/full rather than bordered is impacting them at all? I know it widens the FOV with bordered mode, but is it OK full screen without the borders?
I'm fine with what they're doing gameplay wise. But hesitant simply due to the bad reports on image quality. Its on sale tomorrow too... so it's good to hear your thoughts & impressions. I'm tempted.

i'd say you won't regret getting it. but it's definitely not like a ps5 pro "check out my new toy" stunner. i'm not seeing any noticeable different (other than the zoom in at full screen) between widescreen and fullscreen. it's just like some reflections (floors), grassy (high density fine detail stuff) areas, surface textures, etc. can look a little "man i wish this shit was more cristp/clear". if that makes sense. but it still does look pretty good.

Thanks man. So you play it in the full screen mode without borders then?
I'm already sold on the flexibility they've added to encounters with the latest patch. So I'm almost convinced.

i actually like having more FOV so play at widescreen. also find some of these 3rd person games a little claustrophobic when they're too close to the character. im like constantly moving the camera to look around them. feels a little too close to the chick when in fullscreen.
i'm also hoping that we'll see another update come that will focus on visuals on pro. can't imagine the dev team at massive doesn't see it!

Feels REAL good playing this again. Everything just feels so much smoother. Enemy hit reactions are definitely improved. Shooting just feels super tight now. The experience as a whole just feels tighter. No other way to describe it.
Might as well be my GOTY. It’s the only game that released this year that I’ve excitedly returned to no questions asked. I just love my old fucking Star Wars feels and being in those worlds and this game delivers them like a motherfucker.

Family out of town this weekend, was gonna do some COD:MW2&3, but might go for this instead. Xbox X or PS5 (nonpro)? Any clear winner there? Is it on game pass?Feels REAL good playing this again.

Regular PS5. Pro impressions seem like it’s looks a bit funky for the moment. Not sure if it’s on GP.

You could never pull shit like this off before so early on, and if you did it’d be sloppy
Never saw a two punch takedown either so that might be new. Certainly more “realistic”

Man, people really love to hate this game. So much negativity.

That's depressing to hear. This game should be looking amazing on the Pro. It already looked amazing in Quality mode on SX/ps5 with RT gi. Only thing it suffered from was it was a little soft and had some pixel crawl here and there...and water reflections looked bad. If they could've got the previous Quality mode running at 60 on Pro with a slightly higher resolution it would've solved all that and made for a beast of a Pro showcase! I haven't tried it on Pro but I can tell just based on people's reactions that it must be running with worse settings than Quality mode..Ubisoft did a shit job with the patch.
If you're going to force people to play it using just one mode for Pro, it better have the same or better graphical settings than base PS5. If you can't do that then why are you removing the Quality/30 fps option?? Stupid Ubisoft.

Much of it is just frustration from those of us who bought it on release, ploughed on through and now find they are fixing it four months later.

It stills feels like Bud Spencer & Terence Hill fist cuff fights. The last punch does not look like it fully connects with the enemy… better than before though.

The majority of the negativity is coming from people that haven't touched the game. People want it to fail (again).

Might go back to this now that they made stealth optional. I ranted on this game earlier in the thread about how I thought those segments were atrocious. I had other problems with it too though so I may still not get on board next time around either, but I have a better chance.
Anyone play the update long enough to give further insight into the changes? Like did they totally remove getting caught in stealth sections altogether so you don't have to restart them again?

I picked up the base game today. Mixed bag visually on Pro. There's some serious image problems with what looks like RT not working well with the rest of the image causing texture flicker and some lighting problems in places - it can be distracting. But on the other hand it looks great at times from an image sharpness perspective especially when you disable Cinematic Lens. They need to sort out the glaring bugs though. HDR is excellent, just needed to drop the black level a notch on TV. Performance is a mostly solid 60fps, but enabled VRR to help on some bits.
Gameplay wise, I'm only a few hours in and now on the second planet. And its decent. I'm glad I can do stealth mixed with shooting. And controls are very tight. A lot of config options too, so I can turn off auto aim etc. Its solid so far.

I was going to wait for a cheaper price but after finishing DA4 I really needed a new game to dig into. Coming up on 8 hours..
- Feels like a mishmash of other games youve already played a hundred times
- Main character is just meh, she doesnt project enough confidence for this kind of character archetype, she just feels too soft and overall comes off as more of a poser than the titular "outlaw"
- Man DA spoiled me on hair tech, hair looks awful in this game often shimmery and artfacty when wind blows
- I am spoiled by the mini dopamine hits of leveling. No xp, completing quests and u get no xp or gear rewards, feels a bit disappointing.
+ Started liking the game more past the 5 hour point, lot of options for what to do, lot of side quests, I like how a lot of "intel" that leads to side quests happens organically in the world
+ I do like the space stuff, it adds to the SW feel, space combat is fairly simple but gets the job done, I like how quests will send you offplanet to orbiting stations
+ I actually like the combat so far, you cant just stand there and tank hits, have to be smart and use cover
+ Graphics are nicely detailed, picked quality and its a nice 30fps that feels good, Snowdrop continues to be a solid engine IMO

I picked this up also. Playing on PS5.
I wanted it at launch but wisely held off. So far it’s just OK. I have had to revert my save probably 5 different times in 4 hours were the button or action to advance the mission would disappear and I would be completely stuck. When I would reload and get back to the same area it would work fine.
Also I’ve had a lot of interactions with characters when I select the button to speak with them the game would pause for a good 5 or more seconds before the interaction would start. So much I thought the game froze up.
Probably should have skipped this one but I’m in it for now.

- Here is yet another player character constantly talking to herself, yeah its framed as her talking to her pet, but its the same vibe. Will this trend never die?
- Kinda dumb how her wanted picture is on screens all over the place yet she doesnt do a single thing to alter her appearance. Woulda been a perfect opportunity for a quest the first time she sees this to customize your hairstyle & color.

I've now played this for about 15 hours on pro. I've had some good time with the game but it's flaws are easy to see.
positives:
positives:
- Looks and sounds very authentic
- Visuals are amazing from time to time. Especially the lighting system seems really nice.
- Meaty and well designed world go explore and find stuff
- Reputation system affects how different areas, shops, quest givers etc. are available
- General gameplay (shooting/stealth) works well and feels good.
- Still buggy mess, unpolished
- I'm often left with a feeling I'm somehow not playing the game "right". Especially first 5 hours the game really drops the ball in proper tutorialing of the whole gameplay loop.
- Visuals are not amazing from time to time. Pro mode has visual glitches, shimmer.
- Save system is odd: when I load a latest quick save after geting caught, game spawns me forward, past that encounter. This has happened like 10 times already and makes me feel like I miss parts of the game. All killed enemies also spawn again after loading.
- Many larger missions lack proper signposting and I had a lot of situations where I just didn't know which way I should have proceed (something I NEVER suffer of in other games)
- Too much ubisoft bloat, too many unnecessary small side quests.
- Many character and equipment upgrades are so small they don't change the way to play enough.
- Reputation system is not as robust as it should be.
- Some scripted set pieces fall apart if you do it even a little bit wrong.
- Bare fist knock outs

Finished this a couple of weeks ago focusing mainly on the story on PS5PRO.
Utter shite. Might be one of the worst games I've played in about 5 years.
It's just boring. The gameplay is bizarre and doesn't feel like your powerful enough for the encounters and not weak enough to follow the story. There's not enough abilities or believable mechanics to connect to the character.
The overall story is a fucking weak pile of shit. By the end of the game I couldn't give a fuck about Kay and her mates and the beats it follows are very boring and contrived.
It's the definitive 5/10

One more negative:
I'm surprised it's not talked more that this game is so woke. And I'm not talking about (just) the ugly main character. It's just that almost all important characters in the game are strong women and the rest are robots or aliens and white human males are ridiculously under represented. All experienced weapon professionals, ship mechanis and hackers are women, imperial storm trooper captain is a woman, galaxy's best bounty hunter is a woman and so forth. It's not a big deal and doesn't ruin the game, but just a bit distracting and funny in comparison to the source material of the 70's - 80's movies.

Bought the game for 26 euro's on a key site and felt like it was worth the gamble at this point.
I like graphical impressive games and ubisoft games in general never really disappoint me as i like the assassin creed games.
Played the game on HUB settings, best quality settings basically, but i had ray reconstruction on because of reflections get improved massively and boy the game looks visually amazing. I made some pictures but HDR rekt the quality a thing that i dislike about HDR.
Performance:
For the game on a 4080 laptop was absolutely solid, i got mostly in the missions when u need to infiltrate 120-150 fps at 3440x1440 ( performance dlss ), outside the world it would hover around the 100. Smooth experience with framegen. Had RTX features besides ray reconstruction dissabled because it would half my framerate for not much visual gain.
I played the 1.5 patched version, so mine experience is based on that.
I think i would pay a maximum of 30 euro for the game now i know what its about, the 70 euro's they ask for it is simple not worth it. To less content in the main story.
Positive things about the game:
- Really makes u feel like playing in a star wars world.
- Visuals, enviroments
- Liked the characters in the game, they felt like being in the world
- The game has multiple planets so it never overstays in one location and i really liked the way they handled it
- I liked that the cast was completely different from the star wars we know, felt like something refreshing but still have set pieces from the movies.
- Story progressed quick, didn't feel like i had to deal with much filler and was interesting enough to keep going.
- Game doesn't overstay, did ~3 hour gameplay sessions for 4 days and beat the game ( 13 hours total )
- First windy planet and tatooie where my favorite locations
- Liked the main character, i think people where way to upset about her looks. I think she worked well into it the game.
- Gunplay was good and satisfying.
- Stealth didn't overstay, sometimes u just want to get through a area and u just start a mass riot by shooting everything and the game allows you to do exactly that.
- Controls are simplistic i like that, easy to remember.
- Game has a lot of checkpoints to the point if i died i didn't feel like i had to do a lot all over again.
Negatives:
- Had 3 crashes to the desktop, so clearly some stability problems still but didn't lost any progress.
- Light issue's sometimes in the game, specially when u come out of a cutscene the enviroment needs to be lit again, maybe a downside of doing the lighting with raytracing. ( minor complain )
- Space parts i basically skipped entirely, didn't upgrade much of a ship besides what was needed for the main mission, it felt like a heavy underused mechanic. I also didn't like the controls of how the spaceship controls in space tank controls basically.
- Hate the map, I wish they would have gone with a more assassin creed style map
- No minimap on the screen, results in a lot opening maps when u travel specially in the forest planet or sit in city's.
- Ship upgrade felt meaning less, so did the hovercraft/bike u ride on. Specially the bike/hovercraft upgrades feel meaningless.
- No way to chance the look of your spaceship besides a skin, would have been fun if u had millennium falcon ship, or different bikes she rides on from the movies.
- Game would have have probably been more interesting if han solo took the helm with the millennium falcon, no clue why they didn't go that way.
- Hard to dodge gunfire at times, wish the cover mechanic would be more effective.
- Imperial basises on planets, 2 of them u couldn't shoot your way through it, because they will just endless swarm you, i wish they made a chance on that front, most places u can tho.
- Gun upgrades feel meaningless, wish the gun part would be more expanded on.
- Some quests u need to google on what to do, because the game simple doesn't learn u things or they want u to do things that u would honestly not think about even remotely. Wish they ironed this a bit more.
- Nixx ( the pet ) felt kinda useless most of the time, they could have done more with him
- Assassinating sometimes doesn't work, or the animation are to long, this really made most of my fights firefights in tattooie stealth sections.
- Didn't like the contracts for different factions system interesting, where u gain favor with one and get bad rep with another. Felt like it would screw me over in the main missions so skipped them on purpose.
- Some ( boss fights ) where more annoying then
About future content ( DLC's )
I don't really feel the need to play more of it after finishing the main story at this point, and further dlc's ( one is already out ) don't really convince me to spend another 30 on it. I had my fun with it.
All with all the time i spend with it, was enjoyable, i had fun i would give the game a 7.

The new PS5 Pro update 1.005.001 just dropped that uses the newest version of PSSR. Looks much much better than before. Nice progress. Don't have any before and after pics but I just took these ones with the new update. PS5 Pro shots below - much cleaner, less noise:
