Why do they call visibly worse fur "more CG quality presentation" cause it's very obviously not

Babadook7191d ago

It looks less pixel-y and softer like CGI would aim for. I agree with their take on that.

Overall this isn’t super impressive. There are much better examples of Pro modes.

Cacabunga191d ago

I don’t bite into technical achievements when a game is so classic and didn’t add anything compared to previous entries. Weapons are also so classic and some of the best ones from before were totally skipped.
This game was a big letdown to me

Jin_Sakai192d ago

I mean we’re literally zooming in 10x to see the difference.

andy85191d ago

Think this'll be the case for a lot of first party games. They're always very polished. Especially this one. It's 3rd party that the differences are

CrimsonWing69191d ago

Well you kinda have to when it’s only 30% better.

Workshyskiver191d ago

The real benefit of the Pro is probably going to be in the titles that aren't well optimised, as unsatisfying as that may be. Games with dips from 60/30 etc will run smoother and that isn't going to be reflected in comparisons with the level of polish Sony's first party games tend to be at.

Bathyj189d ago

All these people comparing PSSR to DLSS are missing the point. Is DLSS or console? If you're comparing PC hardware to console hardware and telling me PC is slightly better than you are not telling me anything new.

Then PSSR is the best upscaler on console and definate step forward. That's what I care about.

How ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Did Dual Protagonists Right (And Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Didn’t)

Shaz from Pixel Swish: “Both Insomniac Games and Ubisoft have given us games with dual protagonists. However, where Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart’s duo feel exactly the same, Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s Yasuke and Naoe feel unique.”

They are exactly the same because it's another version of Ratchet within the multiverse. It's not Ratchet himself or a female version of him but it's someone else who's taken his place / role within that Universe.

The_Hooligan19d ago

Agreed! A better comparison take would have been between AC Syndicate and AC Shadows.

gold_drake21d ago

with ratchet, they are the same, they play the exact same.

im not even sure why this needs to be said, we all know.

isarai21d ago

They weren't trying to make them play differently, literally 2 versions of the same person. Wo ur saying they failed at something they never set out to do 🤨

Profchaos19d ago

What in the f who even thought of that concept and connect these two games that released years apart and have nothing to do with each other.

You could of said fuel protagonist vs other times where AC did duel protagonist or a game like GTA v that allows for on the fly switching

Like how desperate are they for clicks

Levii_9219d ago

Rivet's character was more useless and forced than Abby from TLOU2.

MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol? Also remeber how a beloved vilain Dr Neferious was reduced to a braindead wimp and a parody of himself?

P_Bomb19d ago

“MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol?”

It’s still going on. Especially @ Marvel.

Our First Look At FSR 4? AMD's New AI Upscaling Tech Is Impressive

DigitalFoundry : Running on AMD's new Radeon 9070-series GPUs at CES 2025, a machine learning upscaling demo of Sony's Ratchet and Clank is almost certainly FSR 4 AI upscaling - and as it's running on Ratchet and Clank - our 'go to game' for AI upscaling quality tests, we could really put the tech through its paces. Oliver and Alex are at the show - and this is their report.

They're saying better than PSSR! Impressive.. guess it's really close to Nvidia's solution. I'm interested in seeing how the 9070XT or whatever their highest end card will perform, we already know AMD are only aiming for the mid range (or upper mid range) with these new cards but it will still be interesting to see how they compare to a 5070Ti on price/performance.

But certain apps don't play well with AMD that do with Nvidia cards, shame because these cards could be great/price performance.. but not an issue for pure gamers.

Visually it may well be similar to DLSS, but they were quick to point out that they do not have any actual performance data at this point. Time will tell, but it is definitely promising and good to see them impressing.

Interesting. Since AMD is largely behind PSSR, they’ve now sort of have two different upscalers in play. Curious to see how it all pans out.

piroh153d ago

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic152d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23152d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1152d ago (Edited 152d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger143d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.
