"Free Update 4 releases alongside Doom: The Dark Ages | Revelations on July 7, allowing all PlayStation 5 Pro players a new way to experience idTech8's vision of medieval Hell with the advanced version of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). This upgraded version of PSSR, rolled out on PS5 Pro earlier this year, means players can jump straight into the cleanest image we can deliver on the platform."

After parrying colored balls in saros i got the strange feeling that i should play this one...

finished it a few weeks ago, it's great.

it's very different than both doom and doom eternal and that's something that I personally appreciate, I really don't understand why people shat on it so much...
 
Perfect. I still need to fully play and plat this.
Don't remind me, literally the last collectible trophy bugged for me locking me out of the platinum and there is no solution. I have to go through the entire game again. I suppose this update will make it sweeter. Not that it looked bad before on pro or anything.
 
I was really not a fan of this game when it came out but it's cool that more games are getting updated. I know the toggle sort of updates it but native support is always better.

Yeah, I can't tell a difference but I rarely ever can with these things. I notice it way more in motion then trying to go back and forth between pictures.

To be completely fair, doom games have never been my cup of tea, i barely played doom 2016 and didnt even bought eternal after hearing about all the busy work inbetween shooting and platfoming sections...

This one always looked a bit more in my cords for being slower and having melee weapons and not being as heavy on finishers animations but i'm not the best with parrying and i dread the dragon sections or the huge mech sections,i dont like gimmicky sections in my shooters. :lollipop_grinning_sweat:

2026 gaming folks. I expect the PS5 Pro -> PS6 comparisons to be equally magnifying glass worthy.
If you open them up at different tabs on a large screen at 4k the difference is significant without zooming in, it's like a blur filter has been removed, looks much sharper. In motion the effect is going to be even greater. This is also a before and after on PS5 pro, the difference VS base PS5 that's ~1080p is going to be even greater.
 
Are we complaining about getting great IQ in games now.. because the difference doesn't show well in full images viewed on phones?

I'd take the PSSR update thanks. In fact, please give more PSSR on old releases.. fucking drown me in PSSR updates actually. Thank you.

If you look at the veins on his upper right forearm the difference is night and day.

That said, I can clearly tell the difference between all images even not in motion.

So you are correct and also imho people underplaying the IQ bump. It's solid.
 
I'm glad this update has come out because I got screwed with cyberpunk. They dropped the pro update straight after I finished it.
