Diablo 4 Joins Growing List of Games That'll Be PS5 Pro Enhanced

@themightyant
Also does that mean all new releases on PS5 going forward have to be enhanced for PS5 Pro.
I can’t remember what happened with PS4 Pro.

I think most big games and companies did PS4 Pro enhanced version.

Guess it’s on a game by game basis.

I am playing this on PC since I am “old school” (played D1 on release). Always wondered how are the controls on a game pad. Good to know that more and more games will be enhanced for the Pro. Wanted to buy one on launch, the price was too high for me but good for everybody that is buying one.

@themightyant
That will be very interesting, because we could have a situation where PS5 Pro games Indy and Doom, console wise are better on Pro.

I think Microsoft won’t care as they do it in PC, usually the best version over consoles, and they have sort of moved away from trying to be king console.

@OldGamer999 Sony stipulated that all PS4 games should support (where applicable) enhanced features (usually resolution or frame-rate) on the PS4 Pro.

Not seen any such stipulation for the 5 Pro?

Cross gen titles are going to be fun going forwards with PS4 base/PS4 Pro/PS5 and now PS5 Pro levels of game look and feel!

Nice. I'll wait for the Pro before getting the expansion.

@themightyant
I would have said a bare bones enhancement so they didnt show just how much more advanced Pro is compared to series X, but a few of their PS5 releases out performed series X already, so it will be interesting.

@sanderson72
Well I’m hoping for less cross generation games and full focus on the new consoles. Especially the big hitter games, which we are starting to see now.
I mean four years soon.

@themightyant
Wonder if Pro will get an enhanced patch for this years COD.

@OldGamer999 thats right. Also what has been up with Phil when he was investigating why people prefer PS5 over Xbox... is he really that stupid? Honestly everyone knows whats selling consoles... for sure not his blabla about Gamepass and the 1 Million indies.

@OldGamer999 I am sure it will 😀

I don't believe Phil was looking to see why people prefer PlayStation over Xbox, @ORO_ERICIUS. What he was trying to establish is why developers prioritise PlayStation, or entirely, skip Xbox...

@dardel I played Diablo 1 on the PS1. It was a cool game and worked well on the pad. I haven't really played the newer ones though as I couldn't get into them, but I imagine they play just fine too.

@Fiendish-Beaver Logical when you think about it. a vicious circle...

I said this would be a problem for Microsoft and their multiplatform approach. Gamers will gravitate to where games play best, and if you are not a heavy consumer of Game Pass games, then with the release of the Pro, the place where games will be performing best (for at least the next couple of years) will be PlayStation.

I'm sure, to some extent, Microsoft won't mind that people would rather buy the likes of Indiana Jones on the PlayStation over playing it on the Game Pass, because that means they will make more money. However, that will only be reflected in the short-term, because long-term it will see people buying a PlayStation over an Xbox in even higher numbers. That in turn means there will be fewer Game Pass subscribers because owning an Xbox and having Game Pass go pretty much hand-in-hand. And there will be a tipping point at which Game Pass becomes unsustainable. As it is, the third-party games that the Service has received in recent months has noticeably dipped both in quantity and quality, and so it could be argued that we are already see that tipping point in full affect.

Now, with the likes of Diablo, it's an established franchise on the PlayStation, and so it can easily be argued that not putting the game on Sony's platform would have been a disservice to the games fans. However, when it comes to Indiana Jones, Microsoft took the decision to put the game on to their rivals platform, knowing that the Pro was coming, and that it will undoubtedly play better there than on their own consoles.

It's a massive act of self-harm that Xbox (in terms of consoles, and potentially Game Pass) that they simply will not recover from...

@Fiendish-Beaver
At the end of the day if Microsoft want to sell games on other devices including PS5 and PS5 Pro they need to make them worth buying.

Publishing games is a massive but extremely competitive market.
It’s no good Microsoft going in half arsed and getting nowhere what’s the point.

If they go in half arsed then that idea/project will fail and Xbox will another disappointment on their hands.

Just great. Pre ordered PRO and only good news. Rebirth finally will be good to play. Stellar Blade replay maybe. D4 expansion is ready to go too. As much it is expensive, games are pouring in with Pro Enhanced ready.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Well that’s obviously.
The developers need a return on their investment.
And Xbox with a low user base and uptake on buying new games from other developers, the developer may not make a profit when putting the game on Xbox consoles.

It’s simple business investment over return on investment.
Duck knows why Phil has to ask them that.

Anyway I left Xbox yesterday, got £300 for series x, can’t be bothered with them anymore.

If they actually manage to produce a great AAA, maybe Indy or Doom, then I will buy it for PS5 Pro and get the best version.

Cool. Blizzard can now rip me off in 4K.

@OldGamer999 yep yep that were the facts that I left xbox too from beeing a xbox Fan from day one. They want... but they simply cannot deliver. Golden days of the 360... its over.

@Fiendish-Beaver easy they are paid off

I don’t think Microsoft have any problem supporting ps5 pro, they consider pc to be part of the Xbox ecosystem so would argue that their games play best on the pc platform not ps5 pro. Obviously, this is just a PR spin on the fact that ps5 pro provides the best console experience for Microsoft studios games.

Don't know why anyone would bother playing this trash, overpriced customisation just like overwatch and the worst content drop system i have ever seen which is something considering how much i detest helldivers 2 warbonds and destiny's rancid scam vault, blizzard expect you to make a new character each season pretty much making them worthless, making the story and game just a whole waste of time.

@ORO_ERICIUS
Wow I was Xbox day one original Xbox all consoles as well.
So sad really from the xbox360 console and games glory days.

And if their studios release an amazing big AAA then that’s good and I can pick it up on PS5.

@OldGamer999 one last bash from me... they are selling a white Series X digital now for the same price than a regular Series X with discdrive hahahahahahaaaaa sorry. Who in the hell is the Marketing CEO? Well. I am really sad about this. Loved Halo, loved Forza, loved Gears. Game over

@ORO_ERICIUS
In the UK the white series x discless £430
Still more than the discless PS5 slim at £390.
Not sure what they think they will achieve with this strategy.
I think their departments are too big and management may have lost the way.
We know interdepartmentally communication is not great.

@Deityjester no one is limiting your option to play eternal character...

@OldGamer999 If I remember correct with the PlayStation 4 pro yes they recommended it but I believe back then they were not forcing or making it mandatory which upset some gamers because it wouldn't need to be updated or taken into account

But now it is if I'm not mistaken since it's basically the same unit just with extra power so they can make a game like normal and whatever they have to sacrifice, they can possibly burn back with the five Pro.

@themightyant thats very interesting, i have over a 1000 hours in Diablo 4 on Xbox Series X. The Dolby vision makes it look so much better. But i will be buying it with the expansion on PS5 Pro now. I wonder if this means Doom dark ages will be Pro enhanced? Cause i would get that to on the Pro and not Series X

@LifeGirl they already did..diablo 4 ps5 is 4k...

So the best console to play XBox games on will be a PlayStation.

What a brave new world.

@OldGamer999 wow yeah maybe COD as well, i was thinking Doom Dark Ages would be a great Pro game. As for Diablo 4 the easiest thing to do would be give us the ray tracing mode but keep it at 60fps vs the now 30. I’d be happy with just that but if they do even more than heck yeah. Happy i got a Pro pre ordered now. Red Dead, Diablo and Gears of War are my main IP’s i put 1000’s of hours into. If those all run best on Pro that is where i will be playing them at. Then when the next gen Xbox comes out i will be back to playing them on that. Haha

@ORO_ERICIUS why are you lying? Series X in Microsoft store 479£. White Digital Series X 429£.

@HonestHick
Lots of great games coming up all being well.
Will be interesting to see what Xbox does next.
I’m still not totally convinced we will see another one or what it will be, time will tell.

Anyway good news on my slow internet.
Went to a 5G no line router and I’m getting about 200mb/sec. So all happy now. No more 6mb/sec.

@themightyant
Also if they don’t make the games the best then they won’t sell and it’s in their best interest to sell the games.
Guessing that’s what they want to do, I thought they wanted to sell Xbox consoles, but I got that wrong.

@REALAIS not in germany. Both 499,99€ strange
