Forza Horizon 5 is now available on PS5 and PS5 Pro, and here's how it compares to the existing Xbox Series X version.

Indiana Jones is also a great enhancement

https://n4g.com/news/266252...

This 'opinion' piece, goes on to explain just how great all the enhancements are. Their opinion is it should be even more. As a Pro owner, I think they've done an amazing job.

What more do you want from them? They are porting old games over that have already been done and dusted in their development. Wait to see when they start doing day and date. MS have killed it this year with releases and I very much appreciate what they've done.

This recent video https://youtu.be/q9hRCVqxoi... explains what's going on with MS. Interesting but hilarious.

If you look at the wider picture, you can see why MS gave in and released their "exclusives" to rival consoles. Never in my imagine they went one step further, enhancing it for PS5 Pro. MS treated their games with care and wants non Xbox gamers to enjoy their games.

I already knew all that info. To me, now that MS is 3rd party and releasing their games on PS, I'm going to support them when they do exactly that. I bought Indiana Jones and still haven't played it yet. I know that if they had their way, they wouldn't release anything on Playstation if Xbox consoles and Gamepass were doing gangbusters. But they're not. The reality is they would be seriously struggling without playstation. So in this reality, when they release on Playstation, I support that move with my wallet. MS wins and so do us Playstation gamers and so do Sony.

They enhance PS5 Pro game because they're proud of their game and want people, wherever they play it, to have a the best experience they can. There is none of this fake "MS on purpose makes a bad port to sell on Playstation" or "MS are not lifting a finger for PS5 PRO", all that is completely nonsense and something that sad losers hold onto to try and keep their toes in the console war. It's like dude... "all your games are belong to us". They only embarrass themselves by trying to act like they have any standing at all in a console war. The war is over and Playstation won. End of. Now I welcome MS games and I support them.

I don't care who gets the money as long as the Xbox brand stays on the ground and eventually gets buried.

They can't be allowed to monopolize yet another industry. I own and supported every Xbox from the beginning, but the Series X will be my last Xbox. Fucking sore losers, they never play fair.

@ObscureO said: "Hard to see this as a win for Sony when their games are being drowned out on their own store and their players are giving their money to Microsoft instead of Sony... 30% is less than the 100% they would get if you bought their game instead."

Yes, if a customer decides to buy a game and chooses an Xbox published title over a PlayStation published game then Sony will receive less profit from that person's purchase. However, it is short-sighted to make a judgement call on customers’ single purchases and determine that this means Sony is losing money, because there is a bigger story going on.

* When customers buy third party games on the Sony console it means more publishers will bring their games onto it as there is a larger audience for them to sell to.

* More third-party games on the PlayStation is a win for Sony. When there is a greater variety of games on PlayStation more console customers will choose to buy one.

* PlayStation customers choosing third-party games over first party Sony titles is technically a ‘loss’ if you count a single sale, but it’s a win because that customer is in the PlayStation ecosystem strengthening it with publishers and customers who will make multiple purchases!

* It’s precisely because there is a large user base on PlayStation 5 that is willing to spend money that has meant Microsoft is bringing all its game to PS5.

* Formerly Xbox exclusive games now an PS5, but no PS5 exclusives on Xbox will over time further strengthen the PS5 platform as it will be the console that offers the greatest range of games, leading to more console sales, and a greater migration of console users from legacy consoles to PS5.

That video is just fake news. It's only opinions. See the thing you guys don't get is that Sony was never considered their rival. Apple and google maybe, but not sony and Nintendo.

[Notellin]

Linking an opinion video from YouTube is pathetic no matter what justification you try to provide. Try and form your own opinion for once.

[spoonard]

If EVERYTHING is an Xbox, then there are no non-Xbox players!

Digital Foundry Forza 5 Review "The Pro is really where the action is at here, specifically in its performance mode. Getting quality mode foliage at performance mode frame-rates is a huge bonus for Pro users, and provides a big visual boost over the base machine."

[hennessey86]

The pro has ingame raytraced self reflections ingame like the PC, something the xbox doesn't have .

[Reaper22_]

Still not worth the price. They're just small improvements.

[RedDevils]

Totally agree.

[IRetrouk]

Base quality mode at double the framerate? Yes please.

[CrimsonWing69]

Do you have to have any sort of credentials or educational experience to be a game journalist?

[Profchaos]

An internet connection and a opinion about everything is the bar these days

[CrimsonWing69]

lol, I mean that’s what it really seems like nowadays.

[raWfodog]

Just like bathroom mirror pics equates to an 'internet model' lol

[Notellin]

What in the world? We had tons of articles about Indiana Jones being the best way to play on PS5 pro.

[Profchaos]

Doom the dark ages looks to have significant pro enhancements based on the cosmic realm trailer

[gold_drake]

thats due to the devs tho, not the hardware.

[arissaseah51]

Wow, the thrill has started already.

[lobyz]

False : performance ps5pro mode have the environment settings quality (density, clipping, distance of view ) from quality ps5 standard mode and have a relatively constant 4k resolution (often 1860p on ps5 standard)
