What about A.I. framerate advancements ? I'll probably not touch 4k for atleast another decade or so.

I think the whole purpose of AI upscaling is to achieve higher performance.

Pedantic91145d ago

I get that part, guess im just a bit selfish. I always prioritize framerates over resolution, despite mainly keeping my gaming to consoles, where framerates might be considered less important as long as they hit a consistent 30fps.

Eonjay144d ago

Well here in the latest console generation for the PlayStation, mostly all games are 60FPS or have a 60FPS mode. I can't think of any PS5 game that is 30 FPS only except for the Matrix Awakens Demo. I just got done playing Star Ocean Second Story R on PS5 (and PS Portal) and I picked it up on PS5 instead of Switch because its 60FPS on PS5 (and PS Portal). The biggest thing holding back 8th gen consoles from 60 FPS was the CPU. Now, Even the Xbox Series S can (with visual sacrifices) achieve 60FPS in a lot of games thanks to the Zen 2 CPU.

But, going back to what you said, for games running on the latest and greatest engines... they can utilize things like AI Upscaling to reduce frame time (like FSR) but while also creating higher fidelity images (like DLSS can).. Especially when you factor things like Ray Tracing into the equation.

Basically you can get the increased frametimes AND you can improve image quality at the same time. Its a win win. In fact, even if your game can run native, it will probably be considered a best practice to implement an AI upscaling solution.

To be perfectly honest, I miss not having ghosting, checkerboard artifacts, and soft picture quality. Been playing PS2 a lot lately and it l reminded how muddy most modern games look in motion,

Demetrius144d ago

I was watching gameplay of getaway 1 and getaway black monday I admire how ps2 games looked at the time even now it has a charm feel to em, I been playing my ps2 as well recently just got sly 2

isarai144d ago

I've been playing Urban Reign and Samurai Western. So good 😗👌

Profchaos144d ago

From reading the leaks not just this article it doesn't confirm a PS5 pro at all but more a custom in house upscale technique that could be included on the ps6 just as much as a iterative console.

In face the leaks show suprisingly little about a incremental upgrade

jznrpg144d ago

Lots of rumors for a Pro so it seems real but it’s all rumors at this point. Either way I’ll buy their next console.

Profchaos144d ago

I agree I'll be buying the 6 the pro might need to prove itself first if it does come later this year as I've already got a launch ps5 and I'm quite happy with most games performance wise at this point compared to last gen when I was playing a ton of fallout 4 watching the base PS4 struggle to keep 30

No one cares, waiting for Switch 2

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

-Foxtrot1d 4h ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga3h ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

Knightofelemia1d 2h ago

Give me Dino Crisis dammit Capcom

TGG_overlord7h ago

And all it took was +24 years + a phone call from me lol.

GotGame81813m ago

LOL! A phone call from you? ROFL! They have been remaking RE games for YEARS! It was a matter of time!

10 Biggest Xbox Mistakes of All Time (So Far)

The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.

Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)

ChasterMies2d ago

By “save them” you mean make more profit for Microsoft. Xbox will still be a dying hardware platform.

OtterX3d ago

You could add the naming scheme for the consoles, it just confuses customers. I know they wanted to avoid traditional numbering bc it would always be lower than their competitor, but this whole 360 then One then Series thing is confusing af. Imagine a Soccer Mom trying to figure this stuff out. I still mistakenly call the Series X the One from time to time on accident.

RNTody3d ago

Don't forget about the Xbox One, Xbox One X and Xbox Series X! Good luck to Soccer moms around the world.

S2Killinit2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

They did that on purpose to confuse and direct attention away from the generational numbering.

MS doesn’t like reminding people that they joined the industry after others had already been involved in gaming.

For instance, they called the xbox “360” to combat PlayStation “3” because they wanted to seem like “more” than “3”, so instead of xbox 2, they opted for xbox 360. Also this had the additional benefit of selling consoles to uninformed parents who might purchase a “360” instead of a “3” by mistake, or because they thought 360 was more than 3. Kind of a disingenuous move.

They have been continuing with their confusing naming patterns for pretty much the same reasons. Frankly, it fits with who and what they are as a brand.

FinalFantasyFanatic2d ago

I can understand their reasoning, but whoever came up with that naming scheme should be fired, bad naming schemes have killed consoles (I'm pretty sure it was the major reason for the downfall of the WiiU). They should have had unqiue names like Nintendo and Sega have had for their consoles, far less confusing for the consumer.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke

Reaper22_3d ago

He still has his job. Something you can't say about Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga3d ago

Both bad execs. One is on job and one thankfully retired.

FinalFantasyFanatic2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I didn't like either person, both people damaged their respective brands and produced worse outcomes, but Phil did save the Xbox brand from being retired by Microsoft. Although in hindsight, he should have just let it die, rather than languish in limbo like it is now.

Rainbowcookie1d 16h ago

Yeah but the one that was "bad" didn't even affect sales.

bunt-custardly3d ago

Phil Spencer was also on the team back when 360 was around, alongside Shane Kim, Peter Moore etc. I think the damage that did the most harm was the Don Mattrick "Always Online" console (ahead of its time basically). They handed Sony and Nintendo a free-pass when that was revealed. It went downhill from there. Then the corporate machine went into full swing to try and recover. They have to a degree as a games company for the masses, and less so for the core gamer. Outside USA, the Xbox brand does not sell as well as Japanese based consoles (citation needed).

Cacabunga3d ago

Want a decision maker. The always online and TV plans was a disaster yes, but they caught up by announcing 1st party games that gamers actually kept the hype going.. until this moron took over and introduced the PC day one release.. e all know where that ended..

S2Killinit2d ago

I dont think they were ever a respectable brand, not since the beginning, when their goal was never to be involved and share in the gaming space. I think the OG xbox was an exception because MS as a brand was still getting its foot in and so the people behind that were people of the gaming industry.

FinalFantasyFanatic2d ago

The 360 was the brand in its prime though, everything went downhill towards the end of that generation. Its staple games like Halo, Forza and Gears are what kept the console relevant and afloat for so long.

MaximusPrime_3d ago

Really good video.

I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.

Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.

Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue

shinoff21833d ago (Edited 3d ago )

2 of the 4 games they did already sold really well. So it's definitely going down. Idk about halo or forza but I feel those studios they've bought in the last 5 years, their coming

ChasterMies3d ago

I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?

Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.
