Joe LaRue of The Koalition writes: It has been 12 years since Capcom released the sequel, but Dragon’s Dogma 2 has finally arrived and I could not be more enthralled with a game. I genuinely can’t say enough good things about the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2. It’s beautiful to behold and full of secrets, caves, encounters, and stories that only you will get to tell. I will try not to spoil anything in this review, but I will say that this is a game you must play to experience the storytelling.
Digital Foundry's hands-on preview of the PS5 Pro, with Oliver Mackenzie testing 11 PS5 Pro titles, seeing the new hardware in the flesh and evaluating PSSR.
I watched the video in 4k. Horizon Forbidden West and Demon's Souls were the standouts to me, they look quite beautiful and noticeably improved with more detail, are richer. My words are not enough to describe them - but compare them to the standard PS5 versions and you can see what PS5 Pro offers.
Forbidden west is the one for me. I remember getting up to 100 fps and it looked great. I bet we are looking at PSSR 4K/120 given how great the frame rate already was. That's absolutely being given another playthrough on my TV at some point
What? The game is not even using PSSR, its their own internal stuff. And its still the same frame rate caps for all modes, did you even watch the video?
Maybe getting one for Ghost 2 next year. I already played most games it improves. Hoping for more announcements
I don't get it ?!
Why the comments here are absolutely different from the comments on YT section?! This video actually confirmed that i and millions don't need that thing ... I watched in full 4K on my TV not on my phone to notice any difference and there is barely anything at all especially in those two games you mentioned
That video actually saved me from thinking of upgrading my Ps5 to Pro as i was considering it last night
If you have to slow down a video and stop it to 100% zoom in on hair and nose to notice a difference and again it's barley noticeable especially when comparison Fidelity mode with the pro mode i can't see anything at all
And many are saying the same but N4G bubble of course is in different zone completely but that video didn't do it for me at all.
"Why the comments here are absolutely different from the comments on YT section?!"
Because this isn't youtube ......🤨 a lot of the comments on YouTube will be salty xbox fans , now that xbox is essentially dead, they want to negate the playstation success.
@TheKingKratos There's nothing wrong with you not wanting to get a PS5 Pro! The games are exactly the same as those on standard PS5. It's like the many people who are happy with their purchase of an Xbox Series S, just because the graphics on the Xbox Series X are better it doesn't mean they have to get it when the Series S is just fine for them.
It's so silly that all over the internet people are arguing about what other people's point of view should be!
If you think the graphics boost of the PS5 Pro is too inconsequential to merit a purchase - that's fine!
And if you want to pay the money to get the improvements the PS5 Pro delivers - that's fine too!
Just do what's right for you.
Nobody needs it. But if you want it, get it. I know I am. The system very clearly marries the fidelity mode with the performance mode that people are used to. It's literally free perf. That's what so funny to me about people saying you don't see a difference.. it is literally performance on top of the the graphics mode. So no settling for janky 30fps. It's the reason different tiers of GPUs exist at any given time. But console gamers are just so voluntarily uneducated on how these things work, yet crying and whining at the same time.
Why folks like you still don't understand that this isn't a neccessary buy and you already answered your question.
You don't want it fine, just get over it and move on already.
This place is largely for Sony fanboys. YT is what the general population thinks. Don't worry I thought the same. Pretty smart move by Sony though, they down-sold me to a PS5. Not so coincidentally it's on sale at the moment for under half the price of a PS5 Pro. I'll keep the extra to upgrade my PC when the time comes.
Nobody doubted that this thing wouldnt benefit existing games.... its how well it will deal with new games. And the base 5 still has yet to be pushed to its limits. And now with a Pro... it never will.
The PS4 was "pushed to its limits" with later games like TLOU2 and Red Dead Redemption 2 regardless of the PS4 Pro.
Exactly.
I'm getting the pro because I don't want to spend the next 4 years playing games on the base ps5 if there's a better option. Someone else doesn't want to that's fine. Just don't pretend there's no improvement because you don't want to pay for it.
"The PS4 was "pushed to its limits" with later games like TLOU2 and Red Dead Redemption 2 regardless of the PS4 Pro."
Yeah and Forbidden West looked amazing on the PS4.
I love their point that even for people who don't get the PS5 Pro, you will benefit from it when you play back-compat mode on PS6. Just like how PS5 plays PS4 games with PS4 Pro settings, PS6 should do the same with PS5 games. But this looks better than I thought. Reconsidering...
Entering Q4 and with the impending release of the PS5 Pro and major AAA titles this holiday season, Dragon's Dogma 2 has a golden opportunity for DLC.
I have to disagree. Personally, I feel like DD2 still needs a lot of optimization. I really dislike games that try to sell a bunch of DLC when their game is still a mess.
Capcom might be working on a Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC, as recent updates on the game's Steam files hint at possible new content.
