More coverage of the upgraded PSSR on PlayStation 5 Pro. Alan Wake 2 proved highly challenging for the original PSSR, particularly at its native 864p in performance mode. The patched version is another huge improvement: youtu.be/8bhre7EPC5A

@digitalfoundry So what’s the best mode to play? Balanced or performance?

@digitalfoundry Please, cover silent hill 2. This will show the other side where pssr 2 didnt do any improvement and the game is still broken

@digitalfoundry Tried it - cannot spot a single difference on my OLED C3

@digitalfoundry Patched version?

@digitalfoundry I thought it was constantly raining in Silent Hill 2, until the PSSR2 upgrade then I realized it was just noise.

@digitalfoundry I’m still confused, is it just the toggle in the system menu for the listed games? I was under the impression it was a patch. Also, silent hill 2 looks the same, any idea what’s going on there? Was PSSR removed from that game when it had issues? Performance mode still shimmers.

@digitalfoundry Looks almost identical the bar is set so low at Sony

@digitalfoundry How can people not tell the difference? Even with compression PSSR 2 looks noticeably sharper and has less artifacts

@digitalfoundry Yall still collecting checks from large corporations I see.

@digitalfoundry Como dizem no Brasil: foi da água pro water!

@digitalfoundry Another bad day for Xbox fans.

@digitalfoundry People saying they can’t see a difference on their “OLED” TVs😭😭 well the game should’ve looked good in the first place, your playing on a $2,000 tv

@digitalfoundry Was going to redownload this and check it out. Already got the platinum for it though .. holding me back slightly.

@digitalfoundry I'm confused: These changes, are they to be implemented via an upcoming patch? Or are you analysing them just from the system toggle? I own all of these games, and no updates have popped up to download (at least as of now). Thanks and keep up your great work!

@digitalfoundry Seeing people say there is no noticeable different shows me why fsr 2 was so well regarded and people thought it was good. Pssr 1 looked awful. Pssr 2 looks a lot better. Hopefully devs use the improved upscaling to use a more aggressive internal res with more rt for quality mode

@digitalfoundry *Zooms in 6x* "You can see that tiny pixel shimmering is gone, and that squared pixel is now rounded. You won't notice in 80% of gameplay for this minor change. PSSR2 offers massive improvements, oft times given a 10x performance boost with 4x the pixel count. Must buy product."

@digitalfoundry Trust is broken with you guys. Does anyone recommend a tech channel besides this one & Daniel Owen’s that stands on what they say & aren’t frauds?

@digitalfoundry Shouldn’t you wait for public opinion first ?

@digitalfoundry Am I right in thinking that PSSR (2.0) is best when using the performance setting in games when available due to lowest Res being upscaled to decent image quality? I I pick balanced or quality presets where the resolution is not dropped as much, the results are not as impressive?

@digitalfoundry Looks horrific on all modes , stop glazing and be honest

@digitalfoundry It looks so much better. Wilds looked like dogshit on Pro and now its closer to the PC version. I'm happy with the upgrade.

@digitalfoundry stunning how much worse it looks than PC TBH. On my PC with all max settings with path tracing, it literally looks nearly indistinguishable from real life.

@digitalfoundry I played Spider-Man 2 in Fidelity Pro mode or how it's called. The image is great only the hair on the characters is flickering A LOT.

@digitalfoundry Do you have to play in 30 FPS fidelity mode for the new PSSR to be worthwhile, or does it still make a good difference in 60 FPS modes?

@digitalfoundry I can’t tell the difference or see improvements we need the PS6

@digitalfoundry It’s a real challenge to help people watching the clip on a phone understand the difference.

@digitalfoundry What about shimmering on metallic objects? It’s still a mess there

@digitalfoundry I absolutely see no difference LOL....
