r/PS5pro

Coming May 27th alongside other optimisations.

Hello guys, I never owned a PlayStation in my life before, I'm planning to own PS5 pro as my first, I was wondering if it it's still worth getting the disc drive since I don't have any physical games, I have a couple of games I bought in my library even before the playstation.

Looking at stepping in PlayStation after a long time on Xbox, so I haven’t played any single player exclusives that have been out for a roughly a decade.
I’m thinking of buying the Pro and PSVR2, and was wondering what games people recommend? And what VR games people recommend and if VR has a good amount of supported games now? I used to have a PS4 Pro and PSVR but the lack of content for VR for it was an issue. I also mainly played on Xbox socially hence why I never dipped into exclusives such as last of us etc at the time of having a PS4 Pro.
For context, I enjoy single player story driven games such as Mass Effect, Cyberpunk, Star Wars Jedi.
TIA

Is anybody playing on a PS5 Pro with the Sony BRAVIA XR A95L ? Is this a good choice for an oled ? How does the FPS games run?** **

A true 4k 60fps requires a very high end pc (2,500$) that's unaffordable to most. What next-gen pcs and consoles do is it renders the game on 2k or even 1080p and upscales it to 4k using AI, which allows a true 60fps compromise

Now they all say GTA VI will run at 30fps on launch.

Doesnt mean the game runs at 30fps its rounded to be so, the native game hits around 35-40fps, but such fluctuations would make your game lag so the game cuts it to 30fps. Unless you have VRR on your monitor and the option toggled on your ps5, which allows to display the fluctuations without freezing or lagging.

What the ps5 pro allows with this extra GPU is to make the game runs a bit better, meaning perhaps 40 to 50fps and caps it to 40fps.

Now believe me if you run it at i.e 40-50 or 35-40 on your monitor it will feel a bit stuttery, because in a 30/40fps locked setting every frame comes at the same interval, that's what we call a consistent/even frame pacing. But since you want to enable vrr and play at 40-50 or so fps the pacing will be totally uneven and you will feel it a bit less smooth than 30fps.

Even a well laced 20fps feels smooth.

So, your choice ...but for a 10fps difference I wouldn't bother.

The only remaining "game changer" is a better AI upscaling (PSSR) thanks to the added GPU power, which you might only notice on your 4k 55 inch TV (since you get less pixel density on larger devcies)

That's why I am not convinced (and yes I don't believe that water cyberpunk image comparison) because it's all AI, not even the original game just a predictional algorithm that guesses hoe the game should look.

You will get 10 more fps but who plays a game at 40fps anything lower than 60fps is SLOW and not how you enjoy a game. A movie sure but not a game (even if well paced 20fps might feel smooth its still 20fps meaning your character will feel slower)

Only case scenario where it might be worth it is if a game is really demanding and can only play on 1080p 60fps, and a better gpu might allow for 1440p 60fps (both upscaled to 4k) meaning you gett much more details, but most well optimized game run at 60fps on 1440p although exceptions exists such as:

Wukong, Jedi Survivor (Fallen Order was well optimized in comparison), Silent Hill 2 and 'f', Crimson Desert, Hellblade 2, Crimson desert, Lords of the fallen, MH Wilds, Dragon's Dogma 2, Avatar, FF:VII Rebirth, Alan Wake 2 and more

All of these are either next gen breakthroughs (new motion tracking, newer ray tracing, newer physics etc) or not well optimized games because the devs lacked dedication

Either way I think this is gonna keep going, devs are going to lazy optimize (unless they wanna run their shit on nintendo, lol.) or use newer ray tracing/hdr/physics engines and regular ps5 users are going to cope with 30fps, VRR, or 1080p 60fps (upscaled to 4k) which means less details.

I hope the situation will get better and those devs will dedicate a full budget to optimizing their games for ps5 users.

The Financial Reality: Optimizing a game down to a native 1440p/60FPS target on a base console takes months of highly paid engineering labor. When publishers push tight deadlines, cutting internal resolutions down to 1080p or 720p and letting an automated upscaler (like AMD FSR or PSSR) "fix" the image is a massive shortcut that saves studios millions of dollars.

The PS5 Pro will run the game at the equivalent PS5/XSX quality mode settings however at 60fps rather than 30fps.

All of these “(New game launching) PS5 Pro Enhancements Detailed” blog posts are starting to sound exactly the same. Like literally copy/paste level lol From RE Requiem to now with 007.

“Blah blah..More detail..blah blah..cleaner image..blah blah..more stable in motion..” And then ofc the quote from the studio being like, “The best part of PSSR 2 is how little was required to implement the upgraded PSSR” Oh lol you don’t say..

Like I get it to an extent, they need to promote the Pro/new PSSR, but at least have some more game specific enhancements! Was a complete waste of time reading that lol

As we draw closer to release date of the highly anticipated 007 First Light, developer Io Interactive brought together key members of the game's tech team to answer a wide range of questions from Alex Battaglia. Topics covered include 007 First Light's 60fps target, the new lighting systems added to the game, new effects and AI - and much, much more. Io Interactive's Glacier Engine has always impressed us and here's where you find out just how much work has gone into improving it for the new Bond game.

Better now than later right...? How's the general consensus around this around here? I'm a die hard PC gamer but have to buy a console to play GTA 6 this November. It's all so stupid but I'm literally forced to buy one if I want to play it on release day, which I want.

I'm getting flashbacks from when I bought a Xbox 360 for GTA V...

Has anyone recently traded up their ps5 base to the pro at game stop trying to figure out if the game stop deal posted in march is still available called my local store but they said they’re currently dealing with system issues

update: found one on ebay for $401 now i just hope and pray this isn’t a too good to be true situation but the money back guarantee does put me at ease a bit if things don’t work out

This just came out on PS Plus and I highly recommend it.

I grew up playing Time Crisis 2, Time Crisis 3, and later Time Crisis 4 in the arcade. I thought going back to the first one, especially on console, would be painful, but it's actually incredible and the gyro aiming on the controller feels like a groundbreaking feature that's still surprisingly underutilized, we need a lot more lightgun games on the store, including the sequels to this game.

It's literally better and more accurate than playing any of the 50 lightgun games released on the Nintendo Wii. I was playing far away from the console and my aiming was still accurate, the cursor moved exactly where I wanted it to move, and it kept up with the speed of my aiming/swaying in real life.

It's an arcade game, so it's short and sweet, but they are generous enough to give you two completely different campaigns. The second campaign can be found under special mode, which has a different storyline with multiple branching paths and choices that affect the ending. The speed that you get through it also affects the ending you get, which was ahead of its time. I only ran into one bug that forced me to restart the game, my cursor randomly disappeared in the first stage, but only happened once.

Not quite the masterpiece that justifies the price hike, but it's one of the most entertaining classics Sony made available yet, something that actually takes full advantage of one of the dualsense's most underrated and underutilized features.

Anybody else? I run the network test and I’m at 400 Mb download and 100 mb upload. But when I play multiplayer games like Madden 26 I keep getting “network reconnecting” notifications and it messes up my gameplay.

For reference I am on WiFi and know I should be wired. But still, I can stream 4K movies no problem. What gives?

Is it very noisy (like film grain) or is it visually sharp and graphicaly good on the PS5 Pro
