Tech experts Digital Foundry have finally gotten hands-on time with the PS5 Pro, and their verdict is overwhelmingly positive – especially if you’re the type of player who appreciates blistering frame rates, high fidelity visuals, and ray tracing. In an exhaustive hour-long analysis, which you can watch in full above, the swots conclude that they’re impressed with what they’ve seen – and that the system is looking like a solid purchase.
“If you value fidelity and you like ray tracing and the higher frame rates of performance modes, PS5 Pro’s a really good investment,” explained Oliver Mackenzie. “There is a conversation to be had between the value of a PS5 Pro and a PC, but for a hassle-free gaming experience delivering high fidelity visuals with no particular issues with updates and incompatibility, PS5 Pro is delivering a really good experience and it’s also fairly favourable in terms of cost.”

We’re not going to breakdown its entire analysis for every single game, but overall our takeaway is that developers are using the hardware in a multitude of different ways, and this results in a variety of outcomes. Some of these are more impressive than others – Digital Foundry appears to be particularly impressed with F1 24 – but the bottom line is that you’re getting higher quality visuals at faster frame rates.
A lot of the heavy lifting here appears to be attributed to Sony’s upscaling solution PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (or PSSR), which is able to reconstruct images based on lower resolution sources with very few compromises. There are issues and it’s not perfect, but generally the PS5 Pro is able to significantly boost visual quality with minimal computational overhead, meaning you’re getting nice clean 4K images with other enhancements sprinkled on top.
It’s likely we’re seeing the origins of the PS6 here, as the Japanese giant will almost certainly continue iterating on this tech as it moves towards the next generation. That the results are already this impressive, with developers still getting to grips with the technology, is astounding.
So, the PS5 Pro may not be for you, but it’s clear Sony has cooked up a system which dramatically improves on the existing experience.

Good. The "experts" can go buy it then.
I mean, even a 2k dollars/euros PC can be seen as "great value". Doesn't mean i'm getting one.
@Nem I'm sure they will!
Isn't ANY product a "good investment for specific people"? This article is pointless.
I mean, they’ll be a price drop at some point right? I’ll probably wait.
The PS5 Pro
Redefining the term "Having more money than sense"
It’s an utterly terrible investment, by its very nature it’ll be replaced by the PS6 sooner rather than later if this is the ‘mid-point’ of the generation. That’s the difference between this and a PC, it’s not future proofed at all as it will only run the games that are designed for it.
@jrt87 but 30fps and 40fps modes with better image quality and RT is what it will deliver going forward. I do think anyone buying it just for improved frames in the same fidelity as PS5 would be better of not bothering 😅 but Mark Cerny was told by marketing that 75% of people care about frames, so had to focus on that in the presentation 😛
I'll be honest I struggled to notice any real differences on games like F1 and GT7; when you're whizzing along at 120mph it'd be hard to notice these extra reflections.
Having said that I think games like Dragon's Dogma and Rebirth do benefit from the boost; it looked so clean and smooth! I'm kinda conflicted.
I've always been in the minority here, but I've never liked Digital Foundry. They've always put graphics over gameplay and their breathless praise of the PS5 Pro is kinda shame. They're like the audiophiles of the gaming world, tripping over themselves to spend thousands of dollars to get barely noticeable improvements and expect everyone else to do the same.
@Ravix It kind of amuses me that in 2024 people are still bragging about 40-60 FPS being some kind of achievement to aim for when there are 104 PS5 games that can hit 120. As can many average PCs.
@nessisonett
PC isn't future proof.
“If you value fidelity and you like ray tracing and the higher frame rates of performance modes"
I do, this is why I have a PC with a 5800X3D and 4070ti. That said even if I didn't, it would cost me around £530 to upgrade if I sold my existing PS5 to CEX and I've seen nothing even remotely worth that upgrade. If I can get it cheaper in the future then perhaps I'll get one but as is it looks a much smaller upgrade than PS4 Pro and definitely One X were but for way more money
@TripleEyeGaming
That's called diminishing returns.
I was all in with PS5 Pro but have now decided not to.
The PS4 Pro was a good 4K upgrade at the time as was the Xbox one x.
But with this we are really splitting hairs and at £700 it’s a step too far for me.
Some of these Pro upgrades are so small and some due to bad initial game development on the PS5 console.
It's a great investment until the more powerful PS6 launches in like a year (guessing).
@TripleEyeGaming you say the but Alex doesn't seem overly impressed by it, with it's still low end CPU and what will still be limited RT
If the boost mode allows them to get rid of re-projection in VR games then there is a small chance I’ll get it, but I think sites like this are the wrong place to declare that. Ask someone without a PS5 if they would spend the extra £250 on this over a digital original and there will be more people thinking about it. Those of us with the base model, me included, are less likely to see the value in the upgrade.
@PocketHotDogs
PS6 will not launch in a year.
Good investment, my 🍑. If you think $850 is a good investment to play your PS4 games and less than 10 PS5 exclusives, be my guest.
@TripleEyeGaming Otherwise known as iPhone customers.
''Achshully this new camera has 1.2 MP more than the previous model...''
How about.... "NO".
You know what's a very good investment? The Nintendo Switch and its massive library of games... something the PS5 (still) lacks, especially compared to the PS4.
@Maubari Our game database clocks PS5 at almost 2,000 games, and we definitely don't have everything listed.
That's a lot of video games!
If I played my PS5 on a living room ngl, I would be tempted to buy a Pro ASAP.
But I play it on a janky a** monitor from 10 years ago.
@get2sammyb Stop sprouting nonsense factual numbers at us. We're not interested in such things. We only deal in rock solid emotions around here. 😋
@Chupa_loyzer no but Sony has stated that the PS5 is about halfway through its life cycle, which is also reinforced with the release of the PS5 pro since these minor upgrade consoles typically release then. At this point it is smarter to just save up for a PS6 and play your backlog until it comes out as it will surely run PS5 games better than the PS5 pro can, like how PS5 is able to run PS4 games at 4k and 60 fps which the PS4 pro couldn't do. We are probably 3-4 years away max from the PS6 at this point
This will be the PS Portal all over again.
All the noise will be about how useless and poor value it is, but the numbers will paint a very different picture.
Anyway, I'm absolutely getting this.
Drop the 2tb ssd to 1tb ssd and £100 off the price and it'll shift. I honestly wonder what economic school some of these corporate knuckle draggers went too.
@LifeGirl keep console games at a stable 30/40 and just make them look better and better.
This is the way.
If 75% of people are happier that they can now play those "unplayable at 30fps" games on the pro in the same fidelity as is already possible on PS5 then it's a bonus 😅
@jrt87 it's certainly very game dependant, I do like it in Alan Wake 2 as it makes a huge difference visually and I'm around 60fps in quite a few areas with it on (not the woods). I agree about RE4, it looks rubbish their anyway and in general I'd say I use RT more in mods for older games, oh and Cyberpunk
Removed - trolling/baiting; user is banned
Most people won't want one. You won't be able to get one for many months. Both of these statements can be true.
Me and the missus are getting one each, due to us seeing value in it, I mean I bought PSVR2 that costs more than a base PS5 too and that was a much worse “investment” than the Pro consoles will be.
To us, in our opinion.
I treat this just as I would any product line, like Apple IPhone 16/16 Pro. Don’t want it don’t get it, and you won’t miss it.
Removed - trolling/baiting
Not sure what definition of the word 'investment' they're running with here. It's no doubt a good bit of kit and I think they're trying to argue it's good value for the asking price. But a "really good investment" it is not. Especially at the midpoint of a console generation.
I can't wait to get the ps pro I have own every ps out there I will be getting this to add to my collection
@Medic_alert You make some good points regarding technically this being exactly what the community has been asking for. Online of course as most of my fellow offline gamers could care less.
However, in this echo chamber you’re spot on.
Now to confuse this even more, I watched a bit of the DF video, before I got bored and realised my life isn’t long enough to justify their heads bobbing about for 60 mins.
Now in that bit I watched, the Horizon devs mention the Pro patch/update/whatever isn’t actually one mode.
They allude to there still being a Pro performance mode and then another for those that purely just want the most “pretty” I guess.
I could be wrong, but I certainly heard in the interview the aspects of “modes” still being present.
Which correct me if I’m wrong, but brings us right back to the same issues this echo chamber has with the OG PS5, just simply on a higher fidelity scale.
Anyway; thought it was of note seeing everyone discuss how this gets rid of modes. Yet it appears it may not.
@Jrs1 it'll sell out tomorrow anyways
@Medic_alert control is definitely a good one. The RT was very nice but I couldn't handle the frame rate
Did the tech expert see the updated list of 8 games optimized for ps5 pro? The only new one game of this list is delayed to 2025...lol
The bigger question is this, tomorrow, if you do get a ps 30th anniversary ps5 pro ….you can’t get a regular ps5 pro can you as it’s one per household 😂 good!!!! F you scalpers. And yes….im debating get the ps5 pro but only the 30th bundle, sell off that dualsense and call it a day lol
@Maubari This is a strange take, the PlayStation store has thousands of games, many of those that aren't on the Switch as well like the latest big third party releases like Alan Wake 2, Baldurs Gate, Final Fantasy, Call of Duty, Elden Ring, Dragons Dogma 2 etc, and the Switch store is absolutely chock full of shovelware. Of course the switch has many more first party releases but for overall games the PlayStation has way more bigger games and even the most popular live service games some of which are not on Switch like Genshin Impact, Call of Duty, GTA online and soon to be the latest Monster Hunter.
On the topic of the PS5 PRO I can agree that it's not a great investment, not at £700. You can get a standard PS5 and a Switch for that price which to me is a solid investment as you get access to so many more great games.
Still trying to figure out what time the system drops tomorrow. My guess is 10 AM EST but I’m always wrong on these matters
It is for a particular market, but it shouldn't exist because it hurts people's feelings. People who say they're happy with base PS5 but are still offended by an optional upgrade.
Is it inferiority complex? Feeling betrayed in their parasocial relationship with Sony?
@nessisonett I won't be buying a PS5 Pro, but PC is the least future proof gaming platform out there.
I used to play on PC too, but decided to fully transition to just consoles maybe 6-7 years back. Reason why, I've bought a new, shiny rig that allowed me to play on high or medium settings for all of two years. Year three I had to make considerable compromises and test settings until I get the game to look decent and play smooth. Year 4 and later there were games I couldn't even run at all.
So yeah, PC ain't future proof
Its tempting to get one of these but I have the black & gold final fantasy covers/plates already unfortunately 😅 and I can imagine they won't fit.
"It’s likely we’re seeing the origins of the PS6 here" this is something that is interesting to me, and that's why I'm pretty much done buying new hardware this generation of console. Gonna wait for the PS6
And 4 years later no one will care. Thanks but I will pass. Not in a mood to play games with the magnifying glass in hand.
I'm really not comfortable with how DF, as a selected, favored, blessed chosen ones allowed to touch a PS5 Pro seem to be acting as a marketing arm for this product given their clout. However, at least they hedged slightly with "here is a conversation to be had between the value of a PS5 Pro and a PC, but for a hassle-free gaming experience...." At least they put the label on it that, for the hassle free angle there it is. But acknowledge that the PC comparison for value is there....
They're not wrong that it's a certain type of gamer, but I think it needs to be italicized, underscored, and bolded in every conversation about it that this is an "acceptable compromise choice" if convenience and no-hassle is your primary concern but want more PC-like performance. And yes, I don't think there's an argument against that. It's a classing how much are you willing to pay/value lost for the sake of convenience and expediency vs the alternative. And for someone where that's a priority, this is a good enough fix.
But good grief is that an incredibly mediocre upgrade for the money. It's a $700 AI scaler plus a tiny raw performance boost.
@Medic_alert "If PSSR is very good it will be game changing"
Why are people acting like Sony's hand-rolled proprietary upscaling is "game changing" as though AI upscaling hasn't existed before for the past 6 years on PC hardware? As though the existing PC handhelds aren't already using AMD's RSR and FSR in quality mode (not that lousy performance mode that the base consoles are using that looks like Vaseline) to excellent results? As though Nvidia hasn't been pushing this since years before the PS5 released? Do people seriously never look outside the Sony bubble that they think this magical tech is new to the world just because Sony made their own version and trademarked a name?
I'll admit it: I'm starting to come around to wanting one...
At this point thanks to Sony putting games on PC plus PC gamepass I will just update my Gaming PC and not get an XBOX (whatever comes after series x) or PS5Pro/PS6. It’s good though that we have options. Before, gamers would have been stuck either or.
@Medic_alert "Game changing for consoles"
Well...yeah, I suppose....kind of a shame that it took a $700 console 4 years later to implement what was already current gen back when the $400 console launched and just didn't include obvious current gen features.....
It's just a choice people.
Some people will get it some people won't, let's all respect each others choices.
You know what, I'd be absolutely thrilled if it turns out to be a great product. Doesn't mean I'm gonna buy it, but good products are good for the industry.
As a console gamer, MacOS computer guy, I will be watching lots of reviews of the PS5 Pro. If developers update existing games and future titles truly perform that much better, I may upgrade from my PS5. Otherwise, I am considering my first gaming PC since late 2012. Either way, I have a big enough backlog to hold me over until Switch 2.
I'd probably buy this if it had a disc drive. 90% of my games are physical and it just feels like a massive downgrade to buy a PS5 that won't even play PS5 games.
Wonderful, looking forward to seeing the differences myself soon!
For me, to be wowed with the ps6 when it comes I need to give the 5 pro a miss. Not particularly impressed with it so far but coming from the 4 pro to the 5 was such a minor improvement that it ruins the generation a little. Faster load times and and little extra shine is not a generational leap imo but with the 5 pro we're just getting to play the games that we've recently played at a higher frame rate...
Is good only if enough games are optimised for it.
I’ve not seen a big enough list so far of which games will be improved and the list shown yesterday was short.
How about PS4 games too?
@Medic_alert Comparing the GPU price to the base console price doesn't really pan out and never does, and obviously Sony was taking a loss while Nvidia was making mad profit on each sale, so that doesn't match up either.
It kind of goes back to PS5 and XSX never should have launched in 2020 AT ALL to begin with. It was far too many steps behind the current paradigm to have been justifiable.
And yeah, I very much don't like what Sony is doing here, where they're basically doing a "do over" of the original console, more or less admitting that it's not actually good enough to meet the marketing promises on the games made now (while also hedging that the Pro won't be either), and following the PC route of instead of pushing developers to make games for their console, even exclusive games, the onus is on the consumer to keep ponying up for more hardware to make up for the games and brute force them. Except it's kind of expensive for a 45% power bump (which is next to nothing in the 4k realm) and adding on an AI scaler that was already current back when the base model launched, for nearly double the original launch price of the digital console, 4 years into it's obsolecense. If you're going to follow the PC route, why bother with a locked ecosystem at all?
Obviously the answer comes back to "convenience" and hassle free as originally said. But where consoles used to represent convenience, value, and budget, we're down to a PC-style upgrade cycle, with PC-style cost structure simply distributed differently, with all of the disadvantages of a locked ecosystem. IMO they're undermining the whole argument for buying into console ecosystems by going this route. Won't affect those already invested, of course.
But I do still find it silly that people are talking about this like it's some kind of revolution. It's not a revolution. It's playing catch up on the consumer's dime with where they said they were already supposed to be years ago.
@Member_the_game got to make that concord money back somehow 😂
I wanna know what the twitters memes say this week. Can we expect an article?
Yes.
PS5 Pro can be a good investment for me to play Barbie game by Outright Games in 4K and 120 fps. 😁
Most of us have well enough functioning eyes and are able to come to our own conclusions.
No matter how hard you try to change the perception and sentiment on this console and its price point as well as take information out of context and embellish it in order to try to peddle that positive sentiment we are still going to be able to just see comparisons and realize that for the vast majority of these old games that everyone's already played, the upgrades are very very minor for the price point.
This just taints your credibility in our eyes and from the perspective of trying to portray yourselves as stewards of unbiased journalistic integrity.
Tone it down, you're being too obvious and it comes off as channeled desperation from the platform itself.
@Medic_alert "As for the idea that the upscaler was available when PS5 launched, it just isn't right. Console hardware is locked in years ahead of time and as stated not all features will be current on console and on PC at the same time. "
And staying current on PS, for an all digital consumer is now $1100-1500 for the generation. So a $1500 PC for the generation, or a $1500 PS for the generation. One offers more, one is more convenient. The choices now really come down to that. Your points are correct, but that's why the pricing is absurd. The consoles are naturally years behind, but are now creeping steadily towards similar total cost.
@Pranwell Very well said! Myself, well though I don’t make a habit of mentioning it, years ago I got made redundant, lived off soup, lost a few stone, got a job that didn’t pay enough or respect me and my time enough, so kept spiralling. I relied on food banks just to literally survive.
Years later, I now don’t have a mortgage, I am a self employed business owner and have a pension, ISA blah blah.
My partner and I plan to give our base PS5 models to our local hospital, here in the midlands UK.
Yet when I say I’m buying two Pro units people assume I’m brain dead and an idiot.
I’m just so confused how my having the self made ability to afford consumer devices equals I’m an idiot.
Now if I paid for these consoles and didn’t have a pension, savings, blah blah, I’d understand, but as it stands that’s not the case.
I just don’t get how more products being available for more potential customers is a bad thing for anyone.
A few years ago I couldn’t afford a tamagotchi never mind a console. Surely I deserve to spend money I’ve earned without being judged by someone mainly out of jealously.
I didn’t look at people in town and sneer because they could afford a McDonald’s and I couldn’t even afford chewing gum.
It would be a good investment as long as it plays ps6 games at slightly degraded graphics. Since we obviously don't believe in generations anymore that boat should rock both ways, right Sony?
If you buy a PS5 PRO at that price, PS6 will cost the same or more.
@tameshiyaku very good point, and now that we aren’t relying on completely different architecture, such as the PS3 to normal x86, and we know the PS6 is AMD based …
Then yes, I assume the Pro and the PS5 OG for that matter will have games released on them that come out for PS6 as cross platform.
I don’t see next generation being any different in that regard, every generation from here on out until quantum computing or massive gimmicks like a Switch style device are going to remain iterations of the same.
For better or worse. I wish we ditched the PS4/Xbox whatever way back when, but I guess pulling the cord on that many consumers is too high of a financial risk.
@milonorth Sorry to be the one breaking it to you, but that is not how technology works anymore.
@carlos82 You conveniently missed the "hassle-free gaming experience" part in your quote.
@thefourfoldroot1 Yeah, Sony has been weirdly quiet about the advantages of the PS5 Pro for VR. The haters would argue that they've abandoned PSVR2, but last night's State of Play would prove otherwise.
I guess it's a matter of priorities at the end of the day. PSSR is one of the big headline features of the new console, and it seemingly doesn't work with VR yet.
But I'm sure developers are already at work trying to take advantage of the extra 45% of GPU horsepower, which aligns nicely with the bump from 60 reprojected to native 90 fps.
@TheElectroFunky no one is jealous of you. 700£ is not that big of an amount in a vacuum , but many of us feel it is too much for this console to make sense. And if people show they are ok with this pricing strategy, sony will be even more aggressive with its next products. And that is bad for me, you, and everyone else.
@Fritz167 "If you buy a PS5 PRO at that price, PS6 will cost the same or more."
And if you don't, Sony will adjust (downgrade) the specs of the PS6 to make it cheaper.
Gosh, how long will it take for people to adjust their sense of reality? You've seen the price of smartphones steadily rise and cried about Apple and Samsung being greedy. You've seen the exact same happen to GPUs. You've seen CPUs stagnate in performance for years now. And so on.
So, is it all a big, coordinated scam or (maybe) the times have changed? Look, no one can defeat physics. The main source of performance and efficiency gains have come from node shrinks in chip manufacturing. That doesn't quite work anymore, because angstrons are really freaking small and expensive to get to.
I hate to be the bearer of disappointing news but, in 2024, better performance = more expensive.
@Psofo Oh I’ve had plenty of people stating they’re jealous offline, jealously is a thing, and does exist both inside and outside of a vacuum.
There’s people I know that can’t afford their next set of groceries unless they put it on buy now pay later, I can assure you, those people are jealous of the fact I can afford this and they can’t, and they make it very, very clear.
It’s how most brands that cater towards an elitist mentality survive, from Prada to Sony, it’s all about people being jealous and FOMO.
There would be no use of a Nike tick unless it subconsciously meant something to those who don’t possess it.
Sony isn’t being aggressive with its most widely purchased product, the base PS5 is still the same price it was a few weeks ago.
So no one is suffering in the slightest, what people claim on here they are happy with (base PS5) they are using and have used and purchased at a price they were happy with, presumably or they wouldn’t have bought it.
My having a pricer car doesn’t automatically mean the budget range of the same brand or even another brand is going to be more expensive next year because it. I mean I don’t, I own an old Land Rover that’s likely about to die, but my buying that wasn’t more expensive because someone bought an all bells and whistles Jaguar.
Sony knows they have to compete on a base price model with PS6. They’re not that unaware of how to conduct their bookkeeping.
The same message could also be shared with the PS5, if most games, by and large are available on PS4, why did we all buy PS5 consoles 4 years ago?
To play better versions of games we could play on an older console.
That’s it. There’s nothing more to it. I’m buying to upgrade a graphics card in a PC, it’s just that graphics card happens to be in a Sony console that has an OS and ecosystem I prefer.
The base model PS6 will be at a price most of their consumers are happy to stump up, as shown by their internal market research. It won’t be some ludicrously expensive box because a bloke in Staffordshire bought two consoles in 2024.
The people paying more for a Pro model iPhone or MacBook don’t increase the price of the standard model next year for those who only stay on the standard models.
So this fear of price rises, though real is due to so many other factors globally, pro models of any product aren’t an issue.
@Art_Vandelay Correct. Nothing more to say, you said it.
@Malaise Exactly. My pet peeve is when people say investment, because an investment is something that inherently gains value that you often times plan on selling for a profit
If tech people want to work with the hardware for better visuals, more foliage on screen and so on good on them. Couldn't care less no matter the GPU/VRAM increase.
I'm a tech enthusiast no expert and I have no interest in it. I want gimmicks for controllers not upgrades like this with badly used ray tracing/HDR pushed.
CPU any day, if devs can't get the ray tracing frame rate combined modes like 1st party already are then that's on them. Just better design your games.
Sharpness sure even if still don't care about that. 8K TVs are still too early to buy as no content for them and just wow a larger TV and tech furthered but how much do we need bigger/details.not IMAX/cinema screens.
@Maubari nintendo switch is a good investment? Lmao. Sold my oled switch and upgraded to steam deck oled. 10x better 🤣🤣
Tempting but the price in my currency is kind of harsh lol. Maybe im skipped and just wait for PS6
Final fantasy vii rebirth is definitely something I want to play how it was intended
@Savage_Joe There has only been 1 PS pro the PS4 pro! Unless u mean bought the xflops mid gen refresh too lol!
I held off playing Rebirth, Alan Wake 2, and Dragons Dogma 2 because of the bad image quality. There is absolutely room for more powerful hardware, if this gets rid of blurry 60 fps modes then I'm all for it. I'm done with 30 fps, it needs to die and I'm glad most console gamers now agree.
Yeah a great investment until PS6 lol. Personally if Sony want to go this hybrid pc/ mid cycle upgrade nonsense. Then why not design a console that has modular upgrades. I could stomach buying a plug in that gives the console more juice for a few years.
Since when has 60fps been, " blistering frame rates", lol.
It wasn't the case ten years ago and certainly not now.
Question, if you buy the 30th Anniversary 'PSX Style' PS5 Pro, will there be a disc drive available to match the 'retro' look?
If not, that'll surely ruin the whole aesthetic and render the 30th Anniversary edition somewhat pointless for players with a physical library? 🤔
Terrible investment that media is trying to push and help Sony selling overpriced hardware. Then 2 years later will striggle to hit over 45fps 🤣
Another thing: Sony is trying to get rid of physical so people buy only from their online store. I live in Europe and all retailers currently have available PRO for pre-order, none of them sell disc drive for Slim/PRO! Sony don't restock these for months.
Less options for consumers.
@Art_Vandelay that's what you think, what will happen is that you will play spot the differences for much more money.
@Fritz167 Exactly right, I'm glad you're reiterating the point I made earlier. We're firmly into diminishing returns with tech. We will pay increasingly more money for increasingly smaller leaps. And that's what it is, regardless of what you think or do. Get over it.
Il just wait a few years for the ps6 thanks
Anyone wish they would use the extra horsepower of today's tech to push something different with actual gameplay and the way we interact and the enemies interact with the world using more advanced physics for one? More destructible terrain, physics applied to objects that are on the characters body maybe? I mean people keep going on about ray tracing but it adds very little to the game, if anything. I see it's worth in the design field from which it came, how light reacts and enters buildings and domiciles is important architecturally but in the videogame world it's just another pretty things for graphics pandering. We still have clipping going on.
I would love the ability to damage an environment in real time or in say Monster Hunter use the world as a weapon or for defence or the ability for these giant creatures body parts to not pass through "solid" objects but instead to interact with them, bounce off, break etc.
That's just one tiny example but it will never happen if everything is going into pure visuals. It may be my age but the last time I really cared about graphics was the release of the 360 and Project Gotham. Since then and things edging to photo realism, it just doesn't do it for me. Maybe I'm alone in this though or at least with the fellow 40 and above crowd 🤣
@Rich86
Dont take this as gospel, but im sure i read that disk drive covers come with all versions of pro, due to size difference - same drive, different size cover.
@Art_Vandelay
Paying more for less is a complete nonsense, PS5 is the worst generation of consoles, not because of what you say, but because of how low Sony has fallen.
@Fritz167 Oh, I agree that Sony has fallen in many senses. The whole push to appeal to "modern audiences" is a cancer that has metastasized badly throughout the whole company. And we're starting to see the results of it popping around every now and then.
But that has nothing to do with the price of the Pro. I've mentioned Apple, Nvidia and Intel/AMD to prove the point, but here's another one for you:
Microsoft is launching a $600 Xbox that has nothing new going for it except for a larger drive and a literal coat of paint. If that doesn't tell you what you need to know, you're beyond hope.
@Art_Vandelay
You have a problem, your last sentence of each message is that of a conceited and arrogant person.
Personally I'm getting it, sure it's £700 but to be honest I don't want to spend the next 4 years (ps6 in 2028) getting an inferior experience and regretting it, especially seeing f124 and the other 55 games confirmed so far.
@Fritz167 Since I don't have a good counter argument about the topic at hand, I'll revert to personal attacks.
@Art_Vandelay, it's not a personal attack, It's just what everyone can see of you.
