What about A.I. framerate advancements ? I'll probably not touch 4k for atleast another decade or so.

I think the whole purpose of AI upscaling is to achieve higher performance.

Pedantic91148d ago

I get that part, guess im just a bit selfish. I always prioritize framerates over resolution, despite mainly keeping my gaming to consoles, where framerates might be considered less important as long as they hit a consistent 30fps.

Eonjay148d ago

Well here in the latest console generation for the PlayStation, mostly all games are 60FPS or have a 60FPS mode. I can't think of any PS5 game that is 30 FPS only except for the Matrix Awakens Demo. I just got done playing Star Ocean Second Story R on PS5 (and PS Portal) and I picked it up on PS5 instead of Switch because its 60FPS on PS5 (and PS Portal). The biggest thing holding back 8th gen consoles from 60 FPS was the CPU. Now, Even the Xbox Series S can (with visual sacrifices) achieve 60FPS in a lot of games thanks to the Zen 2 CPU.

But, going back to what you said, for games running on the latest and greatest engines... they can utilize things like AI Upscaling to reduce frame time (like FSR) but while also creating higher fidelity images (like DLSS can).. Especially when you factor things like Ray Tracing into the equation.

Basically you can get the increased frametimes AND you can improve image quality at the same time. Its a win win. In fact, even if your game can run native, it will probably be considered a best practice to implement an AI upscaling solution.

To be perfectly honest, I miss not having ghosting, checkerboard artifacts, and soft picture quality. Been playing PS2 a lot lately and it l reminded how muddy most modern games look in motion,

Demetrius148d ago

I was watching gameplay of getaway 1 and getaway black monday I admire how ps2 games looked at the time even now it has a charm feel to em, I been playing my ps2 as well recently just got sly 2

isarai147d ago

I've been playing Urban Reign and Samurai Western. So good 😗👌

Profchaos148d ago

From reading the leaks not just this article it doesn't confirm a PS5 pro at all but more a custom in house upscale technique that could be included on the ps6 just as much as a iterative console.

In face the leaks show suprisingly little about a incremental upgrade

jznrpg148d ago

Lots of rumors for a Pro so it seems real but it’s all rumors at this point. Either way I’ll buy their next console.

Profchaos148d ago

I agree I'll be buying the 6 the pro might need to prove itself first if it does come later this year as I've already got a launch ps5 and I'm quite happy with most games performance wise at this point compared to last gen when I was playing a ton of fallout 4 watching the base PS4 struggle to keep 30

No one cares, waiting for Switch 2

Sony shares big new PS Plus stat, but not the one we want to see

PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.

lol acting like it’s equivalent to ms numbers

Mr Logic17h ago

Uh...They're definitely not equivalent.

"Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service now has 34 million subscribers."

"the total number of PS Plus subscribers across all tiers was 47.4 million"

darthv7217h ago(Edited 17h ago)

That PSN number seems like it should be much higher... especially when you consider that PS4 alone has a sell through of over 117m. To not even be at least half that is rather interesting.

To the XB side, having 34m to an install base of roughly 50m (XBO sell through) or even 85m (360 sell through) is a greater percentage of unit to member ratio than PSN.

That's not the "gotcha" you think it is Darth.

darthv7213h ago

^^it's not supposed to be bloop.... it's just an interesting observation.

Have you ever heard of a PC before? I hear they are pretty popular.

MS started lumping gold subscribers in with those GP numbers... keep in mind.

What. Definitely more os plus subscribers but that makes sense due to actual console sales

Darth the difference between the bases are huge your right but you gotta think. Ps players buy more games, where as the Xbox base relies on gamepass for their gaming. So it makes perfect sense

darthv7216h ago(Edited 16h ago)

What makes perfect sense though? You say PS players buy more games... so then logically there should be more PS+ subscribers given the increased number of online multiplayer games in the PS4 generation alone. The PS4 was the first time that + was required for online play much like Gold was for 360 users.

Keep in mind we are talking subscribers, not simply XB/PS users. I assume you meant to say offline single player games, which is most likely true as well. That gen also saw a significant increase in games with an online component comparted to the previous gen.

victorMaje15h ago

I for one will be going back to essential at the next renewal. When I feel a game is good & right up my alley, I’ll check trusted reviews & just buy it.

jznrpg14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

I have the top tier until 2028 as they gave me a massive discount for all the years I had left but I’ll most likely go to essential as well. I buy my games but my kids do use the service occasionally. They do prefer to own their games as well since any game can leave the rental service at some point and they don’t like that idea. They mostly use it to demo games then ask me to buy games if they really like it.

RedDevils10h ago

For me, I will cancel it all together but unfortunately I still have it till 2030 lol

meganick14h ago

I would like to see Sony add a fourth tier of PS Plus for people who just want to be able to play games online without any of the perks like monthly games, store discounts, or anything like that, and it should cost $20 annually, $30 maximum. There’s no way I’m paying $80 just to play games online. Even the original $60 fee was too much, and I would often wait for sales to re-up my subscription.

P_Bomb10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Essential is too expensive, I agree. We’ve got one Essential and one Premium sub. Dropping the Premium when it expires.

gamerz7h ago

Just let my subscription lapse for the first time since 2010. Will sub again every now and then for a month or so to access my old ps+ games but for me it's the end of an era.

DivineHand1256h ago

Let those numbers continue to drop because it is now too expensive. $80 per year just to play online. I noticed they didn't offer any discounts on the subscription or controllers during this year's days of play for the first time in many years and they will feel it when people choose not to renew.

My subscription will lapse next month and it will stay that way until further notice.

KevtheDuff2h ago

There were savings on subs and controllers here in the UK? I bought a controller yesterday in the sale..
It would be weird if those deals were not in other territories too?

Hope SH2 gets more polish before release.

P_Bomb1d 12h ago

I’m not paying $94 CAD for what they’ve shown me. Looks rough as sin.

Fishy Fingers1d 12h ago

Ive seen better lip syncing during a Punch and Judy show

Sonic18811d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

This looks terrible. Capcom should have done the remake 😂 The animations and gameplay looks stiff.

-Foxtrot1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Okay. I was saying before in another article how SH2 looked better than the last trailer, which is true but damn this looks rough as hell.

I wanted RE4 / Dead Space remake quality

Sonic18811d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

I wouldn't buy it for $70 dollars. Maybe when it's on sale.

-Foxtrot1d 11h ago

Yeah full price, deluxe editions, Konami are f***** tripping here.

CrimsonWing691d 11h ago

The characters look terrible to me… like it’s distracting.

repsahj1d 6h ago

I will give this game a chance!!! let's go!
