GSY Video PS5

Empire of the Ants, No Man's Sky and Albatroz are on our PlayStation 5 Pro menu today and we've even added a base PS5 video of the latter so you can compare (the stutters and drops are sadly still there on Pro and they make it more difficult to enjoy the game). Since we somehow managed to forget to include Dragon Age: The Veilguard to our EA video, you'll also find some gameplay footage of the enhanced version inside. Though we still have a bunch of titles which were supposed to be PS5 pro enhanced in time for launch, we don't think they have yet and will wait until the updates are available to cover them.

High quality stream and download

I would say it's ok but I don't really see the point in getting one for now considering most games that do show some improvements came out quite a while ago and most people have already completed them. It's also disappointing to see that some patches can sometimes make some games look worse (Black Ops 6 and Silent Hill 2 for instance). I think the console should have come out with at least one new game that takes advantage of it (first or third party). AC Shadows could have been it, but it was delayed. The new Monster Hunter might be it, but it won't be there until late February. Not even the LEGO Horizon game was patched. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the enhanced image quality on some games like Dying Light 2, Dead Island 2, Lords of the Fallen or even Dragon's Dogma (not really counting the Sony exclusives as I think they already had excellent IQ on base PS5), but I own them on PC too (bought the first two a while ago and was sent a code for DG2). So if you ask me, the Pro came out too soon as it needs ne games to show off its potential. Also, maybe PSSR would have been more capable of handling image reconstruction if it had been given a bit more time? In FFVII Rebirth it's quite impressive, but mainly because what SE did with the game's image quality originally was truly bad.

Thank you for all the videos and your work!
I still have a few optimized games in my backlog on disk. So I'm actually looking forward to the Pro. But without a drive it's no use to me.

@Driftwood: At least EA and Konami made official statements that they are looking to improve the Pro patches for Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Silent Hill 2 Remake. The Pro patches are quite bad here with lots of flickering. CD Project Red now also officially confirmed that they are not planning to work on a Pro patch for Cyberpunk 2077.

I played TLOU Part II the last days and I found it interesting because there mirrors in the game which look perfectly fine without RT showing Ellie in super clarity. And then I see the mirrors in Alan Wake 2 which use RT but show all characters super blurry. So old school techniques still have their place in 3D graphics!
