PS5 Pro Enhanced, PS Store Situation Devolves into Confusing Mess

It's should be easy just add a icon after a update.

I keep going into the settings and checking for updated graphics options and I’ve been disappointed by the small number of games that have actually been updated.

I was thinking this when Dana Carvey was explaining the Pro in his powerpoint presentation. Fidelity and performance modes are too confusing, so here's a third option.

Can we just acknowledge that the PlayStation store front has possibly the most amateur filtering/sorting options available in any modern storefront (edit - I meant to write commercial software... because there really are some god-awful storefronts out there....how do you spell Ninten-don't?). As it is with the search/sorting/filtering on the console - why is it I can't filter out games that I have as part of PS+ monthly games - which are mine while I have membership - and those that are part of the PS+ Extra?. Also why (if I download a digital version from PS+), do I not see that I actually own the physical version as well?

And why... if I have the physical PS4 version of a game... that has an upgrade to PS5... it seems somehow to want to keep downloading the PS4 version?

Sigh... this is where we're at... and that's before you even throw in the PS5 Pro. Sony just suck at user interfaces IMO.

Digitaly gaslit? I'm not so sure that's the correct use of the term. No doubt somebody will "gaslight" me to inform me I'm wrong 🤣

@LikelySatan or a 4th... or 5th... Professional-grade gives you ALL the options. It seriously was delusional to think that giving developers the choice, would lead to the "there's no need for choice any more" option.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare yeah the user interface has always been a bit of an oddity to say the least. Whenever I put ps4 games in the drive that have been upgraded to the ps5 version (cyberpunk) it ques the ps4 version but when I actually start the ps5 version it does absolutely nothing and will not continue to download the ps4 version. It's a slight annoyance and should have been rectified straight away..

@Northern_munkey by straight away, I hope you mean about 12-24 months ago (well... actually, from the start of the generation if I'm being honest). Edit - and yes, Cyberpunk is the one that really annoyed the hell out of me. Every single time....

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare yes as soon as the ps5 launched the ui needed sorting out. You get used to it and I've never had much trouble navigating it but it does need a severe overhaul.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare Yeah, I often run into games I wasn't aware were "free" with plus or available on PS5 at all, and sometimes run into games I didn't know were out that I'm interested in. That's my fault sometimes, but others it's a discoverability issue. I'm not advocating for AI learning on the front page or anything, but they should know that I'm not getting CoD or Madden, no matter how much they push them.

PlayStation handling of a digital library has always been a nightmare and this just adds another layer.

It is often hard to tell if you have even bought a game on the store, it is totally inconsistent, games that need discs don't always show it because you also have digital dlc, no way to tell the difference between different levels of ps plus for games etc.

So this comes with precisely zero surprise attached to it and just adds another fun layer.

@Northern_munkey I'm currently trying to catalogue games I have in library by owned/PS+ essential/others... it's a pain in the <insert orifice of choice here>. In this day and age, I can only imagine this is because their online UX is about the last thing they give a crap about... that's the only explanation as to how little they do to improve their experience. Edit - it's almost as if they don't want you to know what you've got. For instance...why when I look at PSN it tells me that I can buy a game, regardless if I have the physical copy logged on the system (der... I know the answer to that one.... but a good UX would be up-front... even if it still gives you the choice to buy digitally)

Case in point... after 4 years, why are we still not getting QoL changes that were standard on the PS4... because they're intentionally holding them back to make it seem like "oh... things are improving"...

It's Friday... it's been a long week, and perhaps I'm a little saltier than even I am normally.

I'm pretty sure Silent Hill isn't patched, however I purchased it thinking it would be based on the enhanced tag. I'll still play it but its not a good look and what's more annoying is I can't find anything from Sony or Bloober to confirm or deny

The day after release I tried the Last of Us Part I & II and didn't realize it but Part I's pro patch hadn't even shipped yet. Thankfully that was the case, because I didn't think it looked that enhanced- but after the update it certainly does. Anyway, it has been annoying games are marked but don't have the update. The Callisto Protocol supposedly is getting one and I thought it already had it, so I was disappointed there too. I'm putting dozens of hours into Black Ops 6 before it even gets the pro update too, I think.

Patch Silent Hill 2 already!

Saying a game is Pro Enhanced when it isn’t surely crosses into false advertising?

Calisto Protocol says it's updated in the store, but I don't think it actually is, it's kinda hard to actually tell what's been patched and what it planned to be patched.
