Remedy Still Working on Alan Wake 2 PS5 Pro Patch Enhancements

Sounds like Remedy is working on the PS5 Pro patch enhancements. Great news for Alan Wake game fans

I was thinking in buying the game this sales (ps5 standard) it is ok right now the game for ps5 standard or they messed up with the pro patches?

Still no fix.....wow
These "enhanced" patches ended being more problematic than many expected.

I believe devs want to see if the pro console really sells before eating extra development costs. We might have a ps vr2 situation again.

@Major_Player Hi buddy, I can't speak for everyone but I waited until the Pro came out (& a physical edition) to play this and it runs really well. Having not played it on the base model I don't know what the original complaints were but I haven't had a single bug or glitch and I am about 12 hours in. It really is a fantastic game!

Just let people turn off PSSR, until it's fixed.
Like what the developers of Silent Hill 2 did.

@themightyant
Those things should have been learned, before they added those PSSR patches.

Some of these patches was likely just rushed, to hit the release date of the console.

@zebric21 Jesus the consoles not been out a month yet, give it a chance, the patches that do work great are brilliant (in real life on a decent size and specced screen) not on youtube or websites 🤣

@themightyant I don't know of it's just me, but for the Silent Hill 2 situation it looked like there was a weird effect already on the PS5 version (Quality or Performance mode, I cant recall which) and PSSR has simply enhanced this effect so it is even more noticable and weird. I remember seeing the footage, especially in a dark corridor, where it looked like it was raining inside, and the ground outside was shimmering too, and then the PS5 Pro version made it even more glaringly noticable.

Perhaps at times it could be a case of them enhancing the bad elements and the devs need to sort that out before they just hit "PSSR" and send it out into the wild.

And the less said about the technical prowess of Respawn's Jedi games the better 😬

PSSR is pretty rough right now, the amount of movement in static objects in games like Star Wars outlaws leaves a lot to be desired.

Performance so far is good though.

Fingers crossed for some speedy updates from Sony and the developers of their respective games but not exactly a smooth launch for this console.

@themightyant I agree, PSSR will greatly improve over time as it's utilised more. For now devs should just really leave in the base PS5 graphics options as well to avoid these issues.

Though somewhat ironically, all the games with good implementations have left the base PS5 options in, even though you won't use them and all those with bad patches have removed them. It's almost like one set of devs want you to see how good their work is and the others really don't want you to compare them 😆

I just got this game on sale for my PS5 not professional, and I'm pleasently surprised. There were few not graphics related bugs, with conversation triggers etc.. but in general awesome game.
PS5 Pro enhanced version will be pure joy once they polish the early PSSR adopter quirks.

@themightyant i mean the movement and shimmering artefact seems to be a real issue and it is instantly noticeable.

And even games like R&C which are supposed to do it well have odd parts that look like a muddy mess when you stop to look at them.

When something is supposed to make the game look better and it is a toss up as to whether it actually looks better or worse that is in my view a mess.

Unless they are patching in a better CPU there is only so much you can do. PSSR and the Pro has been a lot of hit and miss so far. The tech will continue to cook and should be in a much better place in time for GTA6. But if not then the PS5 Pro was more Scam than Ham!

@themightyant I'm not at all commenting on the pro as a whole, just PSSR.

Whether people notice it or not is not really something I'm concerned about. Objectively PSSR is in some instances introducing new artefacts that spoil the image to a more or lesser degree. This isn't a beta product and it is an issue, albeit one that I expect to improve.

I'd advise anyone thinking about getting a pro to hold off for now.

I'm actually enjoying the game a lot on my base PS5, so no complaints on my part

@JustCameHereToSay Nice one mate, I was thinking I can't be so lucky as to have had no issues and all the others have! Good to know I am sane

@Major_Player Spot on mate, I can only say it runs brilliantly on the Pro, as for the base model - no idea!

@Nekomichu Im playing on Pro and any issues they claim exist are lost on me. Im 9 hours in and over halfway through and I dont notice any issues. (Games not that great tbh)

People are ridiculous. I played Alan Wake 2 on the base PS5, then played the DLC on the PS5 Pro. The Pro version was WAY better- basically the Fidelity version from the base PS5 at 60 FPS. It didn't have any major problems that weren't also on the already imperfect base version.

Worse than the base version on the PS5 Pro? That's crazy talk!!!
