Sony PlayStation 5 Pro

There is a thread on resetera about 5Pro users commentating on the amount of shimmering cause by PSSR.

The PS5 Pro has shimmering / aliasing issues in some games

I love my PS5 Pro for the most part, most games look wonderful, but there seems to be an issue with some games. There‘s this weird shimmering, aliasing whatever you wanna call it. One big example is Black Ops 6, I thought my Pro was faulty or something, but it turns out i‘m not the only one who...

I can’t test, but I don’t recall DF mentioning this. And looking at some of the videos posted, that shimmering is pretty noticeable. Is anyone else here having this issue?

If so, may provide some insight as to why Horizon skipped it for now.

Alex actually mentioned it in their Alan Wake 2 video that went up earlier today.

There is a free trial of F1 24 now, it sure does look nice and clean

Thats not "shimmering, aliasing". low quality COD clip shows white noise which looks like a broken gfx card or some bug. People there are even complaining about RDR2.. PRO dosent do anything to that game because it uses PS4 Pro setttings..

That's not shimmering. That's sparkling (in the OP's video).

Scroll down the thread to eee the other reactions regarding other games, they are funnily enough about something different than what the OP posted.

Indeed. I also felt it seemed like a graphics card bug. Not sure why they called it a shimmering/aliasing issue;

Though it appears to be related to PSSR being enabled for this one user. Maybe a defect in the silicon somewhere in the sparse hardware.

So no one else is experiencing the snow periodically in BLOPS6?

Motion vector issue?

I have the issue too.

So it’s a black ops rendering issue then, Some people are saying metallic surfaces and fog in the rendering pipeline is messing up with PSSR.

Do you find this snowing in any other title?

Me personally, no. I was playing the game fine without it bothering me…but still you’d like to see it fixed.

Also as an FYI, the guy who posted black ops 6 video in the resetera thread was BEFORE the patch dropped. So…it might not be a pssr issue?

indeed, certainly more investigation and data collection is required.

Just thinking back on your statement you are right.

Consoles are appliances they should just work, you shouldn’t have to wait for firmware patches or wait for PSSR to get better.

The last midgen refreshed worked right out of the box. The solution was hardware based, it got more juice and the resolution went up; we didn’t have this type of situation the midgen refreshes were universally better across the board.

Here, the challenge is software and we see more and more issues cropping up, just cause 3, shimmering issues, IQ issues, sparkling, etc. it becomes debatable in the customers eyes if TAA or PSSR is better. Worse that customers have no control over PSSR, so it’s always on by default not, that extra power couldn’t be TAA with just more performance.

Sony should have waited a bit longer to bake this out. Consumers forking over 700 USD or more deserve a consistently better experience. I do see better, but I’m not seeing the consistency. For me, This is a let down following DFs coverage on it. Watching closely I was convinced that this was pretty close to DLSS. This was stable, and everything was being lifted. The feedback online is coming back much worse, and I don’t think many folks online understand aliasing, shimmering or catch as many drawbacks as DF.

Here is what i want to know: Can PSSR be updated with software updates on a firmware level or per game basis? Like do devs get some software they can implement into their game, and needs to be updated if PSSR gets a new version or is it something the console itself has installed?

I would expect the first 6 months to be a bit painful for the pro. After that things should become more reliable.

Appliances barely exist any more. Everything's a computer and it's software based which is allowed to be buggy/broken. There are zero legal safeguards against something you bought not working properly because software. The only option is 'don't buy anything'.

I think consumers have a fair right to return their Pro's as miss-sold. What Sony showcased wasn't full of graphical glitches. It's probably the only real option. everyone return their Pro en masse, and send a message we won't stand for broken software. Sort your shit out before asking for our cash. Not gonna happen though and so companies are going to operate this way. Same with releasing broken games, taking the players' money, and then maybe getting around to fixing them.

Yea. With software they did allow returns. I’m curious to see how this plays out. I doubt they will allow mass returns here.

It’s going to kill the product. They would rather hope it goes away and they patch it to success and the product continues.

Once people return it, it’s not likely they will rebuy it later when things are “better”.

It’s one direction there, they won’t let anyone return this. The most that can be said is for buyers who don’t yet have it thinking about it wait. But there’s no way refunds are going to happen.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Depending on where you live, they have no choice really. If a product is sold that's not as advertised, the seller has to issue a refund. In the UK I think it'd be a confident win if any retailer refused and they were legally pressed on the issue.

 

[Karamazov]

If it works Well in several games already, then it's up to other devs to learn how to use it efficiently.
