Welp I can admit when I’m wrong and I may have been exactly that about the Pro. My boy got one so I went over last night and tried it for about an hour, I logged in on my account on it and downloaded my save and picked up at the exact point in Immortals Of Aveum I’m at. Mind you, this isn’t one of the games that even got one of the official “Pro Enhanced” patches, they did nothing to it. And previously it was damn near straight up ugly on PS5. Blurry textures, choppy, artifacting, major pop-in, etc. Made it feel like an old ass game while playing it. Well that’s completely gone on the Pro. Not only is all that immediately gone, but I’d even go as far as saying it looks really good on the Pro. Not quite as good as high end PC, obviously, but not ugly by any means. Since it didn’t get an official patch, it’s obviously only looking better in the way it would on PC, by simply inserting a more powerful GPU, but at least on this game specifically, it was NOT a “splitting hairs” difference, it was night and day. Took it from dogshit ugly to straight up good looking. It was even more apparent when I got back home and popped it back in my base PS5.
No. We have essentially the exact same TV. He has a C1 I have a CX. A TV wouldn’t make that big of a difference anyways if the GPU can literally not properly render the textures and resolution. Blurry image is a GPU issue, not TV, unless you are on a complete trash TV.
Literally why would I lie. 😐 I was the Pro’s biggest hater and Sony’s bullshit overall lately disgusts me but I saw the shit wit my own eyes and don’t have too much pride to admit I was wrong. It took a distractingly ugly choppy game all the way to legitimately good looking and running smooth and stable. And that’s only my first and only game I got to test, which was one that didn’t even receive the Pro enhancement treatment. So I can only imagine the ones that did are even better. And I care a lot about graphics, hence why I dished out for a 4090, but this isn’t even minor insignificant shit that you would only notice if you know what to look for, I’m talking it completely transformed the game in a way that you would have to be fucking blind to NOT notice. If that’s the case for most games, then it is most definitely a worthy upgrade.
I'm already happy with the GOG versions of Warcraft 1 and 2, but I'm glad they did remasters instead of remakes. They actually look, dare I say it, GOOD!? Like the Starcraft remaster.
I will still refuse to play WC 3 Reforged though. I appreciate the QOL improvements, but they refuse to address the censorship
I like Black Ops 6 but the packet burst rn is so fucking bad that most matches are damn near unplayable. Idk how this is a repeated issue year after year. Poverty ass servers.
This shit really makes the next generation extremely interesting. While I stand on the fact that the Pro is prolly a worthy upgrade especially if you’re an enthusiast, it raises the question: If $700 is still too much and people don’t think it’s worth it, what do they think is going to happen once it’s time for PS6? The shit ain’t cheap to make and to go more and more powerful, especially at this level, it’s going to cost more money point blank period. So I could see PS6 starting at anywhere from $800-$1,000. And at that point, get a fucking PC. Before, really the main thing separating the 2 was affordability. PC was clearly superior, but console saved you a lot of money. If you are now getting into PC spending ranges, literally WHAT is the fucking point unless you are completely 100% retarded and tech illiterate and need your hand held every last step of the way.
Microsoft was ahead of the curve because moving forward, I see Sony almost NEEDING to do day and date PC for all exclusives, because it’s burning money otherwise.
Shit, even the initial Pro reveal kinda spelled it out for me, they’re sitting there talking about GPU strength and specs like it’s a computer build, I can’t remember any other console trailer talking bout the GPU and shit like that like it’s PC gaming. The 2 are already fully merging together by nature and there’s really nothing stopping it other than Nintendo staying in the children’s focused lane, who don’t care bout NONE of that lmao.

Honestly might sell my base PS5 and get one now.
