Game news PS5 Pro: It “tears everything apart” according to the developer of this wildly successful sci-fi video game

A nice catalog of games

For a short week, we have known the games that will benefit from the power of the PS5 Pro, which is scheduled for release on November 7, 2024. In this list, we find in particular No Man’s Sky . One of its developers spoke to X about this.

This beautiful scene captured in a screenshot sums up how I’m feeling tonight. Many of you have noticed on the PlayStation Store that No Man’s Sky is one of the titles improved by the PS5 Pro. The only thing I have to say as a developer who has experienced every PlayStation generation since PS1 is that this console rocks everything.

No Man’s Sky, the game that has sold more than 10 million copies, will be available on PS5 Pro as soon as the machine is released. Martin Griffiths, the game’s developer, seems to reassure players by saying that the machine is worth it and that he intends to get one. Players are wondering if Hello Games, the studio behind the software, will offer a special PS5 Pro patch for the PSVR2 version.

The No Man’s Sky developer isn’t the only one in the industry defending the PS5 Pro. In a article on the PlayStation blogsome are speaking out. For example, Maciej Kurowski, director of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, assures that players will “immediately notice the improved experience”. Same opinion for Yuji Korekado, producer of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater:

Innovative PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology allows the trees and lush vegetation of the game’s iconic jungle to become more alive and enhances the sense of realism of infiltrating a natural environment. Moreover, we are able to deliver a smoother gaming experience with better frame rates throughout the game.

Promises that don’t convince everyone

As the PS5 Pro hits the market, not everyone in the industry is as excited as Martin Griffiths. Christopher Dring (GamesIndustry.biz journalist) reported in an episode podcast of the media, that in fact, several developers found PlayStation’s Pro offering “useless” and too “niche”.

As a reminder, it was on September 10 that PlayStation announced its most efficient console ever designed. The machine features state-of-the-art features such as PSSR, an AI upscaling technology. ”’The manufacturer’s big promise is to offer, as much as possible, games in 4K 60 frames per second. An ideal that the current PS5 does not allow.
