Sick of all the hand-holding in games these days, this writer reflects back on an era that tested one's dedication and prowess.
Here is a look at all the confirmed PlayStation 5 Pro-enhanced game that are know of so far, featuring first-party games, and more.
Reading more about PS5 Pro Game Boost... it wasn't what I initially thought it was. I was thinking it would be like FPS Boost but it is specifically for resolution, not performance.
"PS5 Pro Game Boost Explained
Like the PS4 Pro, the PS5 Pro will also include a "Game Boost" mode that retroactively enhances older games on the console. This applies to PS4 games as well, utilizing PSSR upscaling to boost image quality. PS5 Pro's Game Boost will apply to more than 8,500 backward-compatible PS4 games on the console, improving their resolution. The feature will also apply to PS VR2 games, as revealed in CNET's hands-on preview of the console."

But the blog writes:
"Other enhancements include PS5 Pro Game Boost, which can apply to more than 8,500 backward compatible PS4 games playable on PS5 Pro. This feature may stabilize or improve the performance of supported PS4 and PS5 games."
Stabilize or improve the performance is what I read as framerates?
Boost modes can not break a frame rate cap something like bloodborne van be brute forced to maintain 30fps but never go above.
Best example of this is fallout 4 on PS4 when it's boost mode was enabled on the pro the game ran much better and maintained its 30 cap whereas before it would stutter and struggle.
^^ "supported" being the key word. So things would be status quo as they are for performance but resolution improvements looks to be across the board.
PS4 Pro was promoting the not yet released heavy hitter games at that time, like God of War, Horizon, Days Gone and of course improving VR quality experience. It just made sense..
PS5pro is flexing using last gen titles. Absolute joke.
First time ever a Sony console is an easy pass for me.
PSSR can upscale both frame rate and resolution. Being that PSSR works on the game after the engine renders the image, there is no reason why it couldn't generate extra frames as well as more pixels before sending it to the display.
Did I read this right that some of the partners will release free updates so others might charge for it? This level of greed is getting absurd. Many games got paid next generation update so I guess now that’s a thing
I dont recall paying anything for an upgrade on the PS4 Pro. On PS5 I did buy into the Spider-man upgrade as well as Ghosts of Tsushima.
You make an assumption then get upset about the assumption. Just wait and see. So many people get upset so easily. Life is short try to enjoy it
No assumptions since Sony themselves said some partners meaning not all will release free updates. And we have already seen next generation updates cost money coming from PS4 to PS5
Yes you are right we should enjoy our hobby and I am not upset. Just really tired of all the greed that has entered this industry over the past 10-15 years. Just look at sports titles which have become mini casinos with all the micro transactions
Gotta pay 10 bucks to enhance the 10 bucks you paid to enhance the 60 bucks you paid for a PS4 game. Whatchu wanna bet that this will lead up to a new 80 dollar price standard? Im almost entirely sure that GTA will be the game to set the higher price standard.
Oh yes that’s coming. You are being in the low end with $80. GTA6 could be the first game to do $99.99. Sell less make more. With budgets for games going to in 100’s of millions we will see the cost go higher. That’s just the sad reality. Way too many suits got involved with our hobby and realized this industry was making billions more than any other entertainment industry. And now it’s all about spreadsheets
That’s true and whatever they know they charge for and get away with they will. This isn’t just about PlayStation that’s gaming in general
@neutral - companies selling things to consumers that are willing to pay for them... Goes beyond gaming even
Even if it is true, Sony has no right to dictate whether a third party would provide a update for free or not.
Rdr2 comes to mind. So far Rockstar also hasn't releasedany 60fps patch. Are they gonna charge u for it i wonder?
I highly doubt you heard this, because its simply not true.
*If* you read or heard anything, it will have just been "some partners will release free updates that enable PS5 enhancements..." that's it. Then, you fabricated that if it's not free then it's a paid upgrade, when in reality they mean some will release patches and some won't - the same as last gen.
In my personal opinion
I see NOOOOOOOOOO difference in graphics comparing it to regular PS5 graphics...I'll pass until PS6
I watched in 4k and didn't see shit .. Even in their own video they needed to 200% zoom in to notice something different in a Fking Draw distance lmao 😂😂
Only for 700
frame rate aside, you aren't really going to see much visual improvements. Unless you are like Mark going nuts because the foliage in the distance is a little more rendered.
I think they compared games, with PSSR that looked better and ran at 60fps vs 30fps on base PS5.
@ TheKingKratos
The video was streamed at 1080p by sony. Doesnt matter what the youtube settings are.
It’s a bit dumb by Sony to go into detail on gfx differences and stream the whole thing at 1080p don’t you think?
But I’m sure sites like DF will come with proper videos for that.
The only difference that will sell me is 60+ frame rate. If lots of new games will release running 60fr close to or equal to Fidelity mode like they are saying, it's probably worth it to me. But I detected a lot of 'business speak' bs in that 8 minute video. I honestly care very little about what it can do for games I've already played my fill of.
I didn’t watch the reveal, but expected ~100 games on that list. There are only 14 titles?
WTH were they thinking?
They said at least 50 titles at release in November, still not a huge number but a little better...
Perhaps a slower than anticipated long term release schedule forced them into playing their hardware hand
PlayStation's Back to School sale includes big discounts on a bunch of PS5 exclusives, including Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
I can get 30hours out of a job outside does not mean it was good.
But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.
I am so glad today's "gamer" was not around for the ps3/360 era these new gamers are way to easy to please and have killed gaming.
It was good though. Are you actually saying it wasn't a good game? And blind? The person you play as was deaf and it was 10 mins not 5 hours. Doesn't seem like you've even played it by that comment. And MJ was...30 mins at most? Not sure how you get 40 mins into 17 hours exactly
@just_looken
I’ve been playing since the Sega Master System. I love Spiderman 2. There’s too much going for it to be a simple expansion pack. I felt Miles Morales could fall into the expansion pack range.
If you didn’t like it, it’s fine. That’s what’s great about opinions, there are no wrong ones, just different ones.
You guys have to understand, they don’t have anything even close to it on his preferred system. There is a whole psychology behind his comment.
lol I was in the ps3/360 era and spider man 2 would of been a massive hit still.
Please don’t try to represent us gamers from that time. You are not a good example, always complaining and being negative lol.
@just
I mean, it’s New York. You can’t exactly change the map.
It sounds like you’re hard to please vs gamers being easy to please. You mentioned great games. Games whose sequels had very similar gameplay with each other with very minimal changes or upgrades.
Im with pwnmaster. Don’t speak for us. It sounds like probably only started gaming from PS360 era.
Peter Parker lives in New York, where else do you expect the map to be?
Using the same map/location is not a problem.
On topic: In my region the base game is $80. Still not low enough for me to dive in. Not that Im in a rush. Havent even finished the 1st one’s dlc yet.
The map still has asset's buildings the the first game its like madden yeah same stadium but can you change that madden 14 logo?
Not to mention they never added shield basses basically unique interiors you can explore off missions or add in jersey.
Sony pony??
Are you a child? Lmao
Just stop man. It’s embarrassing.
We can like games and not be a fanboy.
Gaming shouldn’t be taken this serious. Relax lol
"lol I was in the ps3/360 era and spider man 2 would of been a massive hit still.
Please don’t try to represent us gamers from that time. You are not a good example, always complaining and being negative lol. "
You come at me calling me a bad example talking like this game is gods gift to us and on any sony article you defend them no matter what.
But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.
Lmao gods gift to us what. I said it would have been a massive hit not a perfect game. It’s a good game get over it.
And this is why I said what I said.
“ But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.”
And you’re still proving me right. God forbid people like a certain game.
And BS about me on every sony article defending them. I like games and praised every games I
“ But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.”
Your opinions are not facts and the fact you think they are is sad. Step off video games for awhile.
Na its fine you go ahead belive 200 million dollars makes sense for 1 game when 80 created a trilogy on 360.
I live without blinders unlike others.
“I live without blinders unlike others.“
🤣😂🤣 thanks for the laugh. Have a good night brother. Fight that good fight your fighting.
He is a duplicate account. He changes names to get a new lease on life and people would respond to him. Sad indeed.
Definitely more than an expansion pack... the Miles Morales game from 2020 is that... ya silly goose
With Elden Ring's DLC Shadow of the Erdtree coming this month, JDR takes a look back at the greatest Soulsborne bosses. To start with, those of Dark Souls.
I do love the satisfaction that comes with beating a "hard" game.
I like challenges. When I play Mega Man games I only use the regular buster against bosses and barely touch the others until the final dungeon.
I'm kind of over the traditional "difficulty settings" of old. If games want to be challenging nowadays, they provide tough spots that don't deviate from the main premise of the game, which also don't cause me to throw my controller.
The problem is, a lot of the current gen gamers are just kids or big kids, AKA childish adults (not ALL, but a lot) who get frustrated when they can't do something that requires they develop a little skill or patience, so rage quit and send their controller flying across the room.
Not all games should be hard but damn it! some should be!
If you suck at some thing that's your fault not the fault of the thing you are sucking at, either get better or stop what you're doing. Don't just complain saying it should be easier, that's like not being able to play the guitar right away and demanding they remove most of the strings!
Most peoples solution to this problem is if the game isn't hard enough for you play on a harder difficulty, well that's all well and good if there's that option, but most of the time the harder difficulty is just giving you the challenge the normal setting should have provided. I could equally argue though that if the game is too hard for you, play it on a easier setting if possible.
I don't want to right a mountain of text so I'll just end by saying this, some games are meant to be enjoyed and some games are meant to be beaten.
