« Since its launch over two years ago, Dying Light 2: Stay Human has evolved significantly thanks to feedback from its community. With nearly 20 major updates improving every aspect of the game, now is the perfect time to come and fight for survival in Villedor », first reminds Techland, before detailing the PS5 Pro optimization which extends to the four available modes. We remember that the sacrosanct 4K at 60 frames per second is available in Balanced mode, while activating ray tracing and all effects in maximum quality (shadows, lighting) still requires limiting yourself to 30 frames per second. .
The Techland article does not specify whether Dying Light 2 : Stay Human makes good use of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) as a supersampling method, but we know that Tymon Smektała, the director of the Dying Light franchise, has a very good opinion of this in-house technology, which is close to NVIDIA's DLSS, too. based on deep learning. According to him, a technology like PSSR could become “ even more important » in the long term than the traditional gain in raw computing power that consoles offer with each new generation.
« Sony's PSSR represents a significant advancement for supersampling technology that other companies are exploring with. This is a great move because, in the future, it could allow developers to focus a little less on performance and enjoy more creative freedom. If what Sony is offering becomes a new standard, then PSSR could prove even more important than the direct increase in GPU power offered by the console “, he commented for the Gaming Bolt site in October.
In the same interview, Tymon Smektała confirmed that Dying Light: The Beast will go “ much further » in its optimization for the PS5 Pro, so that the update for Dying Light 2 would only be a taste. “ We want to make sure Dying Light: The Beast takes full advantage of everything the PS5 Pro has to offer, but we'll share more information on specific improvements closer to launch. We've already made a first attempt at adding some improvements to Dying Light 2, but for Dying Light: The Beast, we want to go much, much further. »
A key factor in the PS5 Pro and undoubtedly in all the manufacturer's future machines, the PSSR has also been praised by Digital Foundry specialists, notably on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Stellar Blade and Marvel's Spider-Man. 2. However, it is up to developers to make good use of this technology, the implementation of which is not automatic, but which is already showing significantly better results than other solutions, including AMD's FSR.
