[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday (lemmy.world)

Nobody wants to pay $310 ($80 for a disc drive, $30 for a stand) more for a machine that looks better if you pause the game and squint hard.

Here's a good example:

Can't see it? The PS5 Pro has added reflections on Venom's back and right shoulder. The texture on the door of the Jeep is marginally improved.

It really is tough to see the doubled framerate when you pause the game.

The picture that you posted was from a demonstration showing the Pro mode looking similar to Fidelity while running at double the frame rate.

No point in high fps when consumers don't know that their tv is only 60hz and they still have whatever motion smoothing options still turned on.

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Well I’m a consumer and I can guarantee you that i can tell when a game is running at 30 vs 60 fps.

Still not buying a Pro though.

Pause twice

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 5 points 2 months ago

Just gotta pause faster!

It's more, almost only, visible on the enemies venom is destroying. Overall it's slightly less blurry.

Wait is that really how blurry it is in game? That would make me sick trying to play a game like I was nearsighted constantly.

I'm sure it got jpegged to hell by the various sites sharing it.
