0verlord Posted December 22, 2024 Report Share Posted December 22, 2024 PS games appreciation post, especially FF16 - Over last 2 decades, my most favorite games have been from the “fantasy” genre. Games which involve magic, melee action, swords, dragons, gods, titans etc As I am nearing the end of FF16, I think it’s just the greatest game of all time by miles. Nothing comes near it. It’s staggering in its epic scope. And it has made this impression on me who has played so many games over several years and I am sort of desensitized, have built up high expectations for game quality for me to be impressed GoW3 is now a distant 3rd best game of all time for me because it was previously the best “epic” game in the fantasy genre. Bloodborne is my 2nd best game of all time, it’s not “epic” but no game can match the atmosphere created by its audio visual elements FF16 is a towering achievement in gaming 🙇 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted December 22, 2024 Report Share Posted December 22, 2024 It’s quite astonishing that FF16 hasn’t got PS5pro support till date & there aren’t many videos discussing any sort of gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittoo Posted December 26, 2024 Report Share Posted December 26, 2024 (edited) Looks like we are back! I also got my PS5 pro on Monday. All earlier issues aside, the packaging was very good. The main PS5 pro box was in another standard cardboard box and had thermocol all around. Then it was wrapped with another layer of sheet (?). The main PS5 pro box came out absolutely shining and new with nary a dent or scratch, so that's good. Filmed video of unboxing and installing. Working fine for now. Also installed the disc drive, which is also working with no issues for now. Some observations- Both the main unit and controller are surprising lite. In fact the main unit is even smaller than the original PS5. Good. Comes with horizontal support thingies, and that's how I planned to keep it. So no need for additional stand. Good. FF7 rebirth is what I am playing right now- 60FPS mode. Finally I can play in 60FPS while also not having to deal with super blurry image. The game is great and clearly some love went into it, but overall the graphics are average. Some areas look really good, but some are very flat. They are very sharp and 4K, but I don't think they will wow anyone like HFW etc. There is also some pop-in in open areas. Rise of the ronin didn't look as bad as I had read online (ray-tracing mode). Haven't played a lot to have more opinions. Stellar blade is the third game I plan to play, unless it comes to PC by the time I get around to it. Good for now. Hopefully GTA6, Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2 and some other good PS5 exclusives/first party games come in 2025 and truly justify its purchase. Edit- This was also my 500th post. How about that!

Congrats! Packaging on mine was quite mid as the outer box showed signs of being beat up but ultimately everything inside was pristine which is what should matter. I am playing Rebirth too, I had dropped it 20 hours in back on base PS5 because it looked so mid and Pro has made it playable again. BTW, did you sell your old PS5 and if so where and for how much? I am thinking of putting up mine on sale on IVG as WhatsApp groups are not biting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of putting up mine on sale on IVG as WhatsApp groups are not biting. Yeah I sold it back in May this year. I sold it for 38k on OLX along with 4 games (Ghost of Tsushima, GoW Ragnraok, Spiderman 2 and HFW). Not the greatest of deals but was a bit better than CeX so its alright.

0verlord Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 Pro vs PS5 - _*exact same_* settings and fps output for both consoles on Performance mode And both on PS5 and Pro, performance mode doesn’t give real 60fps … it’s frame gen trash terrible. Pro should have had native 60fps, not frame gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 (edited) 3 hours ago, 0verlord said: terrible. Pro should have had native 60fps, not frame gen PS5pro CPU just has a 10-13% advantage. It can’t magically reach native 60fps when base PS5 couldn’t. It just appears to be 16.5ms but the input response is that of 33ms. Which isn’t ideal situation for a Fast Souls like Hack n Slash. & I guess PSSR isn’t compatible with FrameGen. Which already has latency issues…. Balance mode at locked 40fps with PSSR on a 120hz screen is the best possible scenario for this game on consoles. No latency lag at all & pristine resolution. PS5pro is definitely making a difference for this game overall. Edited December 27, 2024 by AnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggr happy ss Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 You are a very bad salesman, you couldn’t sell the ps5 to me and now unable to do the same with the ps5 pro to the rest of IVG . What a useless fanboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 Even the all mighty lord of the cosmos & even beyond wouldn’t be able to convince you to buy a PS5!!! Even if somehow he does even his creator won’t be able to convince you to keep it on your shelf for long!!! Let alone me…. You are that sort of a leech…..

AnK Posted December 28, 2024 Report Share Posted December 28, 2024 Same thing was said about me not buying ps5. But I bought it as soon as I got into the upgraded games. The moment I reach games that struggle on PS5….I will upgrade!! But you two will forever leech onto an airtight space wondering what has become of your favourite bawks!!
