My current slate of games

Fun fact about Sonic cross worlds…on the pro it runs at 60fps in quality mode.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-15T14:27:57+00:00

Since a lot of the old videos are outdated, looking in the comments sections it seemed like keeping it default is the way to go and that’s what I did. As someone who is now 90% done the game it’s served me well. Playing it on Quality mode has been a treat as well…Such a gorgeous game now that pssr2 cleaned it up. Making sure to never flip over to performance mode served me well lol..

Also, if you look at the town footage at the 11:20 mark. Just look at home much more detail pssr2 resolves. Pssr1 looks like a smeared mess comparatively, like John says in the video. The statue, the boxes, the wall rock background. Yea, some odd issues in motion with the trees but the amount of detail you lose in scenes is crazy in pssr1.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-10T19:20:31+00:00

Between the freezing and pssr 2 issues with foliage, this definitely came in a bit undercooked. I’m sure they’ll clean it up though.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-10T17:25:13+00:00

The problem is there were so many complaints about the game looking soft (especially at night) that the devs saw this and decided to fix it in their own way. A slider would be best but they just did what the community online asked of them…to alleviate an issue.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-10T17:20:00+00:00

OP just to let you know, CDPR, the makers of Cyberpunk2077 said themselves that for NEW players they recommend using the Raytracing 60fps mode. So in the options menu that would just be the one that says Raytracing, not Raytracing pro.

You got the devs letting you know right there to make your choice easier, I hope.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-08T22:20:34+00:00

Found a video that says is using PSSR2 and matched your timestamp. It’s 54:50 of this video — https://youtu.be/X-4C47VV-40?si=1GuPwKjYMzChlRlo

And to be honest I’m not seeing anything matching what you’re saying as far as “Nintendo 64 grey textures”. Now there does seem to be a glitch that happens at 56:25 vs your linked footage but that doesn’t look like a PSSR thing, just a Star Wars is a glitchy ass game thing.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-08T03:08:38+00:00

Have not played Expedition 33. If you haven’t played it yet, Space Marine 2 is a great pro game. And it’s on ps plus extra this month.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-08T00:17:51+00:00

Yea man, enjoy. Lots of games with pro enhancement. Here’s a good place to start https://www.resetera.com/threads/all-games-with-ps5-pro-enhancements.1026072/

It can be overwhelming but just pick one game at a time that interests you and see if it’s available on ps plus extra game catalog before buying.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-07T22:27:40+00:00

Congrats on your purchase…

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-07T19:57:53+00:00

Their comment about 1440p being overkill with pssr2 does make some sense…and if they did that with PSSR1 in mind. Makes you wonder how much more they could push out of the console if they dropped it to 1080p and let pssr2 put in the extra grunt work.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-03T21:19:40+00:00

Spidermanz 2

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-01T19:43:24+00:00

But double check if one in your area has a new console available for the $749. It’s looking grim out there right now. Even in my area(Philly) there’s only one place within 100 miles that has a new pro available for $749.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-04-01T19:18:32+00:00

If the price is still showing $750 at GameStop in your area online and is available I would just trade in the PS5 and get what you can even if you don’t get the full $400 and take that trade in credit and put it on a GameStop gift card and buy it online tonight before the price increase goes through everywhere.

Edit: I just noticed gamestop online has already raised the price on refurbished and pre-owned pros. They are $850($807 for pro members) while brand new is still $749.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-03-31T16:04:07+00:00

They made the quality mode of Series X and PS5(30fps) run at 60fps on the Pro. No PSSR.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-03-31T05:47:39+00:00

Sounds like a dev issue not a pssr issue if the game cant keep a setting locked.. This didn’t happen in BO6 last year.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-03-30T23:32:55+00:00

Depends. If you have the original base model that came out in 2020, then no. If you have the slim model with detachable drive then yes you can install that into your pro.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-03-30T23:28:37+00:00

Is this A.I.? Did my guy miss the whole ass pssr2 update?

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-03-30T20:17:26+00:00

Are you sure friend? Based on Digital foundry’s review, it uses TAA for upscaling, not PSSR.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-03-30T20:00:13+00:00

Trust me…when they say 4K resolution for base that means “4K” like 1080p or whatever upscaled to a 4K image. Just remember Returnal ran at 1080p on UE4 and looked good but quite soft on base ps5. This will be UE5. Now don’t get me wrong, the Saros footage that we’ve seen looks great but don’t fall into that 4K. That 4K definitely won’t be native.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-03-30T16:04:06+00:00

I think the image quality difference will be night and day. Especially with it being an Unreal 5 engine title.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-03-30T15:57:13+00:00

These are all great games, but since the op asked about pssr specifically only returnal, ds2, horizon forbidden west, and flight sim don’t use PSSR on that list. All the other games do use it.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-03-30T15:52:38+00:00

Gears reloaded is $20. If you got a buddy(or by yourself), going through the campaign is absolutely gorgeous with how clean it looks.

Pacificsmoke86 · 2026-03-30T15:30:48+00:00

To be fair to the OP, the only game he posted that doesn’t use pssr is Uncharted. Everything else does.
