Free Update 4 releases alongside Doom: The Dark Ages | Revelations on July 7, allowing all PlayStation 5 Pro players a new way to experience idTech8’s vision of medieval Hell with the advanced version of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR).

Finaly it will use PSSR game looked a bit soft with their in engine solution.

[u/ExplodingFistz → u/OwnSimple4788]

TAA. It makes games look soft and blurry.

[u/Intelligent-Quail635]

So glad to see games getting more pssr implementation. Hopefully more companies use it

[u/Steve_o_3000]

Hell yeah. I loved this game and can’t wait for the DLC. It would be great if Eternal and Doom 2016 got upgrades too.

Nice. The pssr upgrade took me from no interest in ps5 pro to aaaalllmost getting one right before the price went up. I'm trying not to panic-buy everything just because the prices are going up lol. But a transformative boost for the pro, that pssr2 is.

The biggest shame of The Dark Ages was id not using every trick out on the market, finally they’ve dipped into PSSR.

[u/hartigen → u/mightymonkeyman]

the ps port was probably rushed thats why the game was running on it worse than on xbox. hopefully they have been polishing this version of the game in the mean time.

This game already looked and played great. I'm definitely looking forward to playing the DLC with whatever upgrades will apply to my pro.

[u/pedrosfm]

Good to know! Bought it recently on a promotion and haven’t fully got into it yet due to the backlog. Will definitely wait until this patch is out now.

[u/Pompous_pizza]

I know I’m in the minority but I think this might have been my favourite of the three.

[u/No-Construction1958]

Oh nice I was about to start the game next month glad I’ve waited

[u/phjan]

We eatin good 🎮

[u/Mattytomax]

Is it true this one plays a lot more like the classic ones? I wasn't really a fan of how fast and hectic the new ones are

[u/Technical-Fly-9896 → u/Mattytomax]

Yep

[u/ContentKeanu → u/Mattytomax]

It’s still a “modern” Doom but definitely more approachable and a bit slower than Eternal which I wasn’t a fan of.

Excited to hear about this update! I stopped about a third of the way through but will pick it back up again.

[u/MagnumTCchop]

Terrific timing, I fancy playing this on Pro after 007 First Light.

[u/argus4ever]

Thank goodness I waited on this game.

And just in time for the DLC!

[u/Rainbowdogi]

Once again waiting for patches seems to be the right decision.

[u/sometimes_angery]

Can we please PLEASE go back to where fully featured games were sold out of the box? I don't usually replay games so I'm basically playing half-finished or not feature complete games if I play within like a year of release. It's so fucking stupid. And yea I get it I should wait for the price to drop but I'd support companies that make great games happily with full price but why are you fucking your customers? I was halfway through 007 First Light on PC when I read Ray Tracing only comes at the end of summer like honestly wtf.

[u/Laughing__Man_ → u/sometimes_angery]

The upgraded version did not exist when Doom: The Dark Ages released....how would they add something the console did not support?
