Rumor Square Enix has the PS5 Pro dev kit

Those fools better get XVI and the two FF7R games running at native 4K and locked 60fps, with some additional bells and whistles.
 
An opportunity to brute-force through badly optimized games that are already released (won't help with future badly optimized games, though.).
"Developers are bad at optimization, please buy more powerful hardware to brute-force the performance to what you should be getting"
I really don't think that's a good sales pitch
 
They confirmed the rumors are legit. Im surprised.
Yeah, seems the thread on reddit gaming leaks has been reinstated so the mods there must have successfully verified the info from I Am Real Too. Also, I've told you that Angie from the purple forum would not lie on the specifics of the leak. :p In any case, that's good since that means the leaks might be true, and lots of GAFers from yesterday's thread will eat crow come next year. :D

The bloodborne one was fake sadly (not surprised.)

And it means Switch 2 with PS5 graphics is real

Well, when that pitch goes through marketing it will sound amazing.
 
FF7R on Switch 2?

I call it fake
Why wouldn't that be a believable thing? From a technical point of view the FF7 Remake on PS5 is one of the least PS4 improved ports out there, basically the PS4 version with increased resolution, framerate and slightly improved textures. Oh, and Steam Deck runs FF7R Integrade just fine by the way, and the leaker specifically said that it looks close to FF7R on PS5, and not that it will be identical to it. That said, having FF7 Remake as a Switch 2 launch title makes perfect sense for Square so I'm sure they'll do everything in their power to make that happen.

Maybe I don't know, they could also use
"PS5 Pro
Delivering on the promises made before"

Nah that won't work either 🤔
"PS5 Pro
Delivering Next Gen gaming....not just cross gen games"

Nope that's not it.
"PS5 Pro
55fps to 60fps in cross gen games for just $600"

Yeah I got nothing 😔

To be fair though, 4090s are struggling with these current cutting edge releases (barely hitting 60 at 1440p native), which has more than double the power of a PS5 Pro. So at best you may see the native res bumped to 1080p or 1260p in Aveum for example. Not exactly a quantum leap.

"PS5 Pro... now you get a base resolution of 1290p instead of 1080p before FSR2 upscaling"... Yea I dont see it either, but evidently Sony does.

thats just guesswork, and already sounds way better than 720p too.
will not cost $1600 like a 4090 as well
 
I've been told that studios will be getting PS5 Pro Dev kits at some point in the future and work will begin on games at some point in the future too.

All this is rumour and speculation at this point but I have been told it's happening at some point in the future.

Not really, console wall power targets, price targets, and fact that we have the product roadmap of the future Radeon 8000's (no high end chips, a "refresh" of the 7000's) all but guantees a 20-25 Teraflop GPU for a 2024 Pro console (in the single instruction per clock sense)

yeah which sounds exactly perfect for a mid-gen refresh
whats your point?

Same point I made above, it'll only be good enough for 1080p. You'll still be upscaling 3/4ths of the pixels, which will be a marginal gain at best.

it's really not guesswork, and it's not going to give the boost in iq that PS4 Pro did.

I would love for Sony to prove me wrong but this seems really unnecessary at this point and not nearly good enough for the games/engines that will be coming out (neither is a 4090, honestly).

by that logic 480p on series s to 720p on x is also a marginal gain, they shouldnt have bothered with it i guess.

i guess your point is we need even stronger pro consoles lol
 
A new upgraded console with hardly any meaningful games to play. What a fucking snooze of a generation
What? They are so many good games came out this generation, are you telling me you couldn't find one game to enjoy this entire gen?

yup developers took advantage of ps4 hardware much better Then ps5.
 
If you can't one....not even one game to enjoy this gen then problem is mostly on you.
It is absolutely on me. I find that the games coming out are just not clicking right now. Went back and started going through my Ps3/360 backlog until something comes out that makes me want to turn on my system.

I have opposite problem, there just too many games I like coming out but not enough time to play them all.
