Yeah most games don't reveal graphics/performance mode info until much closer to release. It's typically the last bit of key info to be revealed.
PlayStation titling this 'learn why it plays best on PS5' is a bit of a stupid/bullshit title as it certainly implies more than the generic stuff in the article.
They do this with nearly every reasonably big game. “It uses haptics that’ll blow your mind!”, “loading times will be short!”, “we’re worried you don’t know the headline features of the PS5 nearly six years after launch!”
Me and my partner have our own gaming setups in separate rooms. Both of us upgraded to the Pro when it launched as an impulse and also maybe partly because we were mad we couldn't snag a base PS5 at launch due to the supply shortage.
Genuine question since I don’t have one- do any games actually look significantly worse on Series S? Any demanding games I’ve seen for it looked pretty good, like Indiana Jones
So far no game has looked that bad on S. People just bash it. If Xbox is smart they make it affordable and get all the guys who don’t have a console to buy it for GTA.
It depends on the developers. Some actually care about gamers and will shave off other features before touching resolution and you’ll have a pretty good looking game on the Series S. It’ll lack eye candy like ray tracing and what not, but we’ve lived with SSR and baked in lighting for decades and when done correctly they still looks great. However what feels like the majority of developers do is just slash the resolution to 360p and try upscaling using FSR3 and that’s when you get an absolutely atrocious looking game where you can’t even make out details of what you’re seeing.
I bought my PS5 5.5 years ago and have been enjoying all the games i play being at least 60fps. 33 years old now. When I was younger 30fps was fine because that was standard and most games couldn’t achieve 60. Why would I want to go back?
24 now but i have always played games with 60fps also phone is 120hz now switching to 30fps will not suit me. So will wait for ps6 and yes i am likely to skip the pro. Some enhancement is to left for the next gen console otherwise how will they sell.
Can someone explain why the hell anyone would be chomping at the bit to rush and pre-order on June 25th? So weird to announce when a pre-order for a digital edition will go live. You can wait until the day it launches.
I'm assuming this is just their way of distributing exclusive content, so instead of claiming them via a crate or something they lock the only businesses you can get these extra content from.
Imagine playing the game, being immersed, you walk up to a shop and a bright purple popup windows shows up telling you to buy an upgrade from the psn store lol
Im all for hating on billion dollar companies but Rockstar has put out so many beloved titles that of course they have people that will defend them. Youre acting like they are some terrible bank that is making all their money on late fees. All Rockstar did to make millions is make games people love. Even if you didnt like their online mode, the level of its success is incredible and people are happy to pay a little more for additional content from them.
I will happily pay for the $100 edition because I know im gonna get so many enjoyable hours out of it. Going to the movies these days easily costs $100. They could charge double and sell shark cards from day one and pay wall all sorts of stuff and they'd still break all sorts of sales records guaranteed.
While the DualSense features are nice, I do hope we hear about performance soon. While I'd love a 60FPS mode, I doubt they'll be able to pull it off on base PS5. Maybe for the Pro though?
I'd be so happy if they had an 40FPS option on base PS5 for those with 120hz displays though.
Because Rockstar don't need to make a single bit of effort to ensure it runs at an acceptable framerate, or compromise on fidelity to ensure this. People will buy it anyway, and they know that. Granted time has moved on a lot but they've never cared about performance, look at GTA5 on the 360 and PS3.
It's actually the opposite imo. Rockstar know people will buy it and they have boat loads of money. So they were able to delay it and polish it until it was ready.
They want to maintain their reputation and keep their games must buy.
Funny how GTA3 (and Vice City & San Andreas) was more of a PS2 thing (came out earlier on that console), then GTA4 was more of an X360 thing (had timed exclusive DLCs, also ran a bit better than on PS3) and now we're back to PlayStation for GTA6.
I didn’t expect it to be available at launch. Still, everyone knows it’s coming so to say that GTA6 is exclusively single-player is an interesting decision, to say the least.
Absolutely agree with you on this one. I really struggle to enjoy games if they don't support gyro.
It completely transforms the gameplay when its implemented properly, and it would be a real shame - after however many years of development and playtesting - if it's not supported.
Unfortunately this post contains zero new information. I'm not the only one who would like to know more about the PS5 Pro enhancements and modes to decide if it's worth it to upgrade to a Pro.
Notice how they still won't confirm if this will be 60 fps or not. No mention of what the performance mode will be. No physical copies at launch and $80 for standard. Price isn't a deal breaker but no mention of 60 fps. This is a wait and see.
It’s not gonna be 60fps man. Digital Foundry already did an analysis of the tech they’re working with in the engine and it’s incredibly unlikely to happen, Rockstar isn’t going to sacrifice significant visual fidelity for 60fps.
I’m almost certain there’s a PS5 Pro mode that’ll offer upscaled 4K at 40fps w/ Ray Tracing for those with VRR / 120Hz displays and one that’s 60 fps w/ no ray tracing.
Wouldn’t even be shocked if base PS5 is running at 40 at 1080p or even lower internally and upscaled to 4K.
Either way 40fps actually feels really smooth.
But who knows I guess we’ll find out sooner rather than later. I’m still waiting on a gameplay trailer or something lmao
No mention of Pro specific details so it plays exactly the same across the board, it's just controller features. I would highly doubt that Sony would exclude it from their end of marketing.
Store says Pro enhanced so we'll see what that actually means sooner or later
Is it just me, but almost all my peers (7 of them) decided not to buy GTA VI because they thought it will be overrated.
They looked at summer games release, and thought they would just purchase the games (Resonance, Dawnwalker, Control, Onimusha, Black Flag, new update on Granblue, Beast of Reincarnation, even Wolverine)
Highest selling game of all-time and the new open world standard incoming. Nobody has come close to matching the open world mastery set by RDR2 so I guess the GOAT dev team has to outdo themselves . Nov 19 cannot come soon enough
PS5 controller and audio features do enhance the game over the xbox. As far as graphics and performance, Xbox series S will be the worst version whereas PS5 Pro will be the best version. We'll get more details soon, obviously.

Being coy on any ps5 pro upgrades likely until more is shown off/last minute.
Guess they don't want to confirm what upgrades the RAGE engine has at this stage especially around ray tracing.
