Demon's Souls Looks Substantially Better on PlayStation 5 Pro; New Visual Feature Confirmed

One of the best looking games released in the current console generation, Demon's Souls, looks substantially better on PlayStation 5 Pro.

[derek]

This and ffvii rebirth are the first games I play along with gt7vr

[Babadook7]

Right there with you! (FFVIIR2 though)

[Babadook7]

I missread that as ffxvi. XD

[Aloymetal]

Don't know about you but I personally can't wait for Ghost of Yotei on the pro. That's gonna look insane. I hope the game doesn't get delayed.

[Shane Kim]

Horizon gotta look pretty insane too. Already one of the best looking games on the base PS.

[derek]

@Aloymetal, yeah can't wait for GofY. Don't think it will be delayed, Sony has been good recently about not showing off games until their development targets are achievable.

[gold_drake]

yuuup and i cant fking wait ha

[AshleeEmerson]

Yes, I just can't wait for an update on GT7 VR and other psvr2 games but especially GT.

[Babadook7]

Anyone play this weeks GT7 missions? Pretty epic and you get a 6 star car too.

[Muigi]

Preordered mine from Gamestop soon as they opened lol. I’m hyped!

[Elda]

So did I.

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

I’m only 38% through FFRB7 so I’ll definitely be playing this on my pro. I was able to get the 30th anniversary console today on BestBuys so all is well in the universe today lol.

[The_Hooligan]

I thought the PS5 pro 30th anniversary was exclusive to PS direct. Or did you mean you got the slim 30th anniversary?

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

I said I got the 30th anniversary PS5 not the 30th Pro. I bought a Pro on PS direct two weeks ago but today they Restocked the Anniversary slim so I grabbed one of those too.

[The_Hooligan]

Nice!

[gold_drake]

just so odd

why didnt sony show us more of those comparisons. would have saved them from alot of trouble and outrage ha

[mandf]

They already told you it will affect all games not just some. These are just the first comparisons

[crazyCoconuts]

Don't know...I suspect we would still gotten the outrage from all the Xbox fans masquerading as PCMR lol

[I_am_Batman]

These are still the same clips going around from the press hands-on demonstration over 2 weeks ago. 9 of the 11 games shown already run and look great on the base unit so the differences there will be nice to have, but ultimately not convince many people to jump on the Pro.

The other 2 games are FF7 Rebirth and Dragon's Dogma. Rebirth is the most impressive result we've seen so far as image quality concerns were widespread on the base PS5. Dragon's Dogma 2 on the other hand is still struggling on the Pro.

The game selection they've shown to the press is far from ideal. They should've focused on more demanding games like FF16, Alan Wake 2 and Black Myth Wukong. Neither FF16 nor Wukong even have confirmation of PS5 Pro support at this point.

But even if they did have more convincing results to show, there would still be the high price (especially outside of the US) and the omission of the disc drive that would've caused a backlash either way.

[gold_drake]

yeh agreed.

however i feel like, people would be abit more .. not accepting but less pitchfork ready if they shown rebirthnof 16 or alan wake for example.

and they could have, easily.

" The other 2 games are FF7 Rebirth and Dragon's Dogma. Rebirth is the most impressive result we've seen so far as image quality concerns were widespread on the base PS5. Dragon's Dogma 2 on the other hand is still struggling on the Pro. "

About FF7REBIRTH, the only difference that feels noticeable is in performance mode but not quality mode and that's because bad optimization

Dragon Dogma 2 as you said not doing great things on the pro and also DF said they are comparing an old footage of Base Ps5 version too (the release version) as that got upgraded substantially since release and the pro still looked softer and not hitting 60fps more like 40~50fps

Also, in Demon Souls he also said in the pro mode looks softer in the image quality because it's not true 4k and the only real difference to him was the new tech in shadows which was also used in the base to a degree

It's why not many are excited to jump to the pro when the difference is not showing something that wow anyone... So he is doing buzz words now.

[zacly]

Is he saying "tlou(w)" for last of us. Is that even a thing to call it TLOU?

[DarXyde]

Yes.

[Notsofast]

I know most people will think there isn't really any big difference between ps5 and PS5 Pro, but the thing is, based on most compression video and picture software, you will not be able to see a difference unless you are right in front of the TV or computer monitor, the thing is sony is not great at advertising their products because they would have know putting up the picture and video they showed at the show would not be to be seen over a computer screen. you have to be in person.

[Pyrofire95]

At the very least Youtube videos are going to make for very poor comparisons with just how much detail is lost in compression.

[repsahj]

Demon's Souls graphics are insane even for today's standards. I think Its graphics are even better compared to the new UE5 game like Wukong.

[Hedstrom]

Demons souls is still one of the best looking games this generation, very impressive!

[Pyrofire95]

it's wild how often there's a launch game that just remains at the top of graphics quality. On PS4 it's Killzone Shadowfall, and on Xbox One it was Rise Son of Rome, and PS3 had Riiiiiidge Racer ;p

[Hedstrom]

Yea, didnt think about the launch games last gen. But those were some amazing looking games.

[Valkyrye]

Nah I'm good

[TheKingKratos]

Ok based on that video where he said it looks a little softer on Pro compared to Ps5 because it's not true 4k on the pro in 60fps mode

The only difference as he said is the new tech in shadows... Yet where is the difference?! He said it substantial yet he didn't say where ...he kept on praising the version on ps5 base and then said the base also use the shadow tech to a degree but after that nothing at all that scream "OMG NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE"

Those videos sound more and more about advertising than real comparison

They look pretty much the same here outside the frame rate higher but with softer image quality on Pro

Btw those are the same clips we have seen before in the long hour video... Not something new.

I love Sony and PlayStation alot but i am not corporate shill.

[SoloGamer1]

i dont care.. not paying $700 for a little sharper graphics.

[DivineHand125]

Don't let them overhype you. Wait for the actual gamers to check and let you know.

I remember when gaming journalists were overhyping Horizon Zero Dawn with the PS4 Pro when it came out, yet when I booted up the game on a PS5, I didn't notice a big difference from the PS4 version on a 4k display.
