I played it in performance mode on PS5, but there was a steep sacrafice in fidelity to do so.
But I'll 100% be playing it again on the Pro. It will look phenomenal even just running in PS5 fidelity mode but at 60fps.
Edit: it's better than fidelity mode.

I don't think they're that biased anymore, but they def have a very poor grasp of new technology, they are very good at seeing things when they're released rather than predicting the future (which they suck at), aka their GTA take.

Even if they are biased, they aren't 100% of the time.
Just because someone lies doesn't necessarily mean everything they say is a lie. But it definitely makes it harder to tell.

Image quality was "too awful?"

Seriously, I played in quality mode and it's one of the best-looking games I've ever played. What planet is he living on?

They are biased when they say something I like, they aren’t biased when they said something I don’t like, gotcha.

"Too awful" is hyperbole.
But there was definitely a big sacrifice in fidelity to play on performance mode. I still played on performance mode btw, 60fps is just too good.

Game at 60fps on Pro looks better than the quality mode running at 30fps on PS5. Like the others 1st party games showcased.

Quotes like that are the reason we have dopes who think a game rated at 85 is "bad"

Yeah ridiculous statement to make.
How did these guys play anything back in the 90s like Majoras Mask with that frame rate and stuff like that ill never know.

I got the disc version, so even more than that.

Yea I did the same. I still thought it looked great but I'll always take better graphics just need that FPS to stay at 40 minimum.

I like his retro videos but he is way too hyperbolic about this stuff.
That said I didn't play Rebirth yet. I did play FF7R at 30fps though.

Exactly what I was thinking. It sounds so deliberate to get under peoples skin.
I guess next we're going to hear how truly awful Last of Us 2 and Ragnarok look nowadays.

Because I'll be selling my slim PS5 for about 350 so I'm spending like $400 for about another 3.5-4 years which is nothing to me but everyone's financial situation is different.

He actually just saying what we have been seeing in the 4K video of the PS5 Pro presentation.
The games look better than fidelity mode, but run at 60fps if they have performance mode.
People jumped the gun and started being hyperbolic. Now they're eating crow and getting defensive.
The PS5 Pro looks to be a substantial upgrade.

Went through in fidelity mode.
We're gonna replaaaaaaay.
I need news on FFXVI. Held off on getting the platinum (which requires a second playthrough) simply to wait for PS5 Pro.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I agree, the 'too awful' part of his tweet is the first thing that caught my eye.
DF did a video on this game just a few months ago, and yes while they were critical about some technical aspects, their overall impressions at that time were fairly positive.
Just 6 months later and now one of the biggest releases of the year looks 'too awful'. Very bizarre.

He was talking about perf mode and it was hideous indeed

Better image quality at 60fps on Pro vs 30fps on peasant console. He thinks it's due to PSSR.

How do they play Switch games?

What? The performance mode was like a locked 60 most of the time. The only issue was the resolution.

Currently closing in on chapter 14 and well...
Is FFVIIR one of the best games put out this generation? Absolutely Yes.
Does it deserve to look absolutely crisp and beautiful? Absolutely Yes.
Should you post pone playing this game because graphics sometimes are hit and miss? Absolutely No. This game is much more than graphics.
Trying to sell out the idea that FFVII Rebirth is only truly playable in PS5 Pro is wrong, sorry.

It will probably be the first game I'll be playing on the new PlayStation Quintuple Professional.

I was expecting fidelity at 60fps. But it seems to be better than fidelity mode at 60fps. Which is a nice surprise.

Yeah, it looked horrible in performance mode and was unplayable in quality mode. Decided to wait for PC. Never thought I'd skip a Final Fantasy game on day one.

But they'll tell Series S users to be happy playing with the 430p options provided in the latest releases and "excellent" 540p raytracing that 'just works. Wouldn't want to upset them.

Keep me in check here, but isn't that 45% better GPU performance not factoring in PSSR and the ray tracing upgrades? (the three pillars stuff)
3080 to 4080 was 50%. If th previous statement is correct, then it would be an improvement like a 3080 without using DLSS to a 4080 with DLSS.
It would make sense to have PS5 Pro very close, or in some cases higher IQ than base PS5 in quality mode.
