Silent Hill 2's PS5 Pro patch is another update with big image quality issues

A PS5 Pro patch that has issues not seen on the standard PS5? Silent Hill 2 needs some work, says Digital Foundry.

Oof… hopefully all fixed by PS6 launch.

Or devs can do it now and test the patch before release.

Konami and Blooper Team has already responded stating that they are looking into patching the issue. Same with EA. Really wish studios would do the QA work to release proper patches. it doesn't make any sense to release a patch that reduces image quality. I don't know if its lazines or incompetence... or both.

Unfortunately, Like everything else it’s become standard policy. Release bare minimum and gauge reaction to decide how much time and money is worth putting into issue.

It’s weird that some people actually think that the people who make the actual game aren’t aware of how it looks or plays before they release it.

The graphics issues for Jedi Survivor they are attributing to the Pro patch was in the base version also. That game had so many bugs I doubt they will fix very many of them that still persist.

Some people were expecting PSSR to perform miracles with minimal effort from developers if any at all, thanks to PSSR AI powered image upscaler. Doesn´t matter how hard you tried and convince those people otherwise. They wouldn´t listen to reason.

Well, here we are.

Interesting to see some stuff coming out showing FSR is actually performing better with image stability than PSSR when upscaling large resolution deltas (and PSSR doing better when the delta is smaller). Guess you got to pick your use cases. Also telling that some of the first party studios chose not to use it at all.

1080p?

900p

to be fair.

the pc version had also stuttering issues.

at this point, im not sure if this is a engine issue or optimization issue.
