Robert Workman (Opshead): The 2000’s were a great time for video games. We grew accustomed to new hardware like the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360, and saw developments that took off like never before. Goodbye to the classic 32 and 64-bit – and hello to mature gaming as we know it today. Not only for consoles, as the “PC master race” also blossomed with its fair share of franchises.
Here are the ten most influential games that ruled the 2000s.
Here is a look at all the confirmed PlayStation 5 Pro-enhanced game that are know of so far, featuring first-party games, and more.
Reading more about PS5 Pro Game Boost... it wasn't what I initially thought it was. I was thinking it would be like FPS Boost but it is specifically for resolution, not performance.
"PS5 Pro Game Boost Explained
Like the PS4 Pro, the PS5 Pro will also include a "Game Boost" mode that retroactively enhances older games on the console. This applies to PS4 games as well, utilizing PSSR upscaling to boost image quality. PS5 Pro's Game Boost will apply to more than 8,500 backward-compatible PS4 games on the console, improving their resolution. The feature will also apply to PS VR2 games, as revealed in CNET's hands-on preview of the console."

But the blog writes:
"Other enhancements include PS5 Pro Game Boost, which can apply to more than 8,500 backward compatible PS4 games playable on PS5 Pro. This feature may stabilize or improve the performance of supported PS4 and PS5 games."
Stabilize or improve the performance is what I read as framerates?
Boost modes can not break a frame rate cap something like bloodborne van be brute forced to maintain 30fps but never go above.
Best example of this is fallout 4 on PS4 when it's boost mode was enabled on the pro the game ran much better and maintained its 30 cap whereas before it would stutter and struggle.
^^ "supported" being the key word. So things would be status quo as they are for performance but resolution improvements looks to be across the board.
PS4 Pro was promoting the not yet released heavy hitter games at that time, like God of War, Horizon, Days Gone and of course improving VR quality experience. It just made sense..
PS5pro is flexing using last gen titles. Absolute joke.
First time ever a Sony console is an easy pass for me.
PSSR can upscale both frame rate and resolution. Being that PSSR works on the game after the engine renders the image, there is no reason why it couldn't generate extra frames as well as more pixels before sending it to the display.
Did I read this right that some of the partners will release free updates so others might charge for it? This level of greed is getting absurd. Many games got paid next generation update so I guess now that’s a thing
I dont recall paying anything for an upgrade on the PS4 Pro. On PS5 I did buy into the Spider-man upgrade as well as Ghosts of Tsushima.
You make an assumption then get upset about the assumption. Just wait and see. So many people get upset so easily. Life is short try to enjoy it
No assumptions since Sony themselves said some partners meaning not all will release free updates. And we have already seen next generation updates cost money coming from PS4 to PS5
Yes you are right we should enjoy our hobby and I am not upset. Just really tired of all the greed that has entered this industry over the past 10-15 years. Just look at sports titles which have become mini casinos with all the micro transactions
Gotta pay 10 bucks to enhance the 10 bucks you paid to enhance the 60 bucks you paid for a PS4 game. Whatchu wanna bet that this will lead up to a new 80 dollar price standard? Im almost entirely sure that GTA will be the game to set the higher price standard.
Oh yes that’s coming. You are being in the low end with $80. GTA6 could be the first game to do $99.99. Sell less make more. With budgets for games going to in 100’s of millions we will see the cost go higher. That’s just the sad reality. Way too many suits got involved with our hobby and realized this industry was making billions more than any other entertainment industry. And now it’s all about spreadsheets
That’s true and whatever they know they charge for and get away with they will. This isn’t just about PlayStation that’s gaming in general
@neutral - companies selling things to consumers that are willing to pay for them... Goes beyond gaming even
Even if it is true, Sony has no right to dictate whether a third party would provide a update for free or not.
Rdr2 comes to mind. So far Rockstar also hasn't releasedany 60fps patch. Are they gonna charge u for it i wonder?
I highly doubt you heard this, because its simply not true.
*If* you read or heard anything, it will have just been "some partners will release free updates that enable PS5 enhancements..." that's it. Then, you fabricated that if it's not free then it's a paid upgrade, when in reality they mean some will release patches and some won't - the same as last gen.
In my personal opinion
I see NOOOOOOOOOO difference in graphics comparing it to regular PS5 graphics...I'll pass until PS6
I watched in 4k and didn't see shit .. Even in their own video they needed to 200% zoom in to notice something different in a Fking Draw distance lmao 😂😂
Only for 700
frame rate aside, you aren't really going to see much visual improvements. Unless you are like Mark going nuts because the foliage in the distance is a little more rendered.
I think they compared games, with PSSR that looked better and ran at 60fps vs 30fps on base PS5.
@ TheKingKratos
The video was streamed at 1080p by sony. Doesnt matter what the youtube settings are.
It’s a bit dumb by Sony to go into detail on gfx differences and stream the whole thing at 1080p don’t you think?
But I’m sure sites like DF will come with proper videos for that.
The only difference that will sell me is 60+ frame rate. If lots of new games will release running 60fr close to or equal to Fidelity mode like they are saying, it's probably worth it to me. But I detected a lot of 'business speak' bs in that 8 minute video. I honestly care very little about what it can do for games I've already played my fill of.
I didn’t watch the reveal, but expected ~100 games on that list. There are only 14 titles?
WTH were they thinking?
They said at least 50 titles at release in November, still not a huge number but a little better...
Perhaps a slower than anticipated long term release schedule forced them into playing their hardware hand
Dragonflight may have drawn to a close but it’s time to recognize just how important it was in securing the future of the game.
What ??? If nearly made everyone leave for good with its weird furry/scaley centric crap
no that was shadowlands that l credit with any games closest rendition of hell and the afterlife as we could get. No one wanted to be there.
DSOG : At Gamescom 2024, NVIDIA presented a new demo for Half-Life 2 RTX. So, below, you can find a video showcasing 50 minutes of brand new gameplay footage from it. So, if you are interested in it, I highly recommend watching it.
Have to love the PC modding scene. Constantly turning old games to new, and not charging you for remasters and remakes. I have played amazing releases like Enderal, Nameless Mod, and Fallout London that truly did deserve to be full-on retail releases.
True but eventually the suits walk in shut it down i am amazed fallout london has not been bitched slapped by todd howard.
Can't remember the last time I played a quality first person shooter. Miss those A to B shooters, rather than have all the faffing on. But never understood Half-Life. Can't remember much of the first game, but the sequel on Xbox bored me. I guess some gamers have bad taste.
Half-life is very much an A to B shooter. I assume your talking about the Orange box, which had HL2//Portal//TF2 all on one disc. I remember playing through it on the 360 and did not enjoy it, mainly because it ran at 20fps most of the time.
I highly recommend playing it through the HL series on PC, the way they were intended to be played, its a masterpiece.
Oblivion fan mod is also insane and coming out next year
12days ago skyblivion got gameplay

Would of had Halo 2 in here to be fair.
Resident Evil 4. Over the shoulder camera has influenced the entire TPS genre.
I would have taken out Morrowind or fallout 3 and replaced it with halo 1 or 2
Mirrors edge? Prince of persia?
Some of these choices just strike me as dumb. KOTOR predates Mass Effect as Bioware's breakout success and Morrowind was out before Oblivion.
