PS5 Pro Launch Day
IT’S the PS5 Pro’s launch day, and everyone wants to know just how much it improves their favourite games. In particular, everyone is looking for a version of Bloodborne that matches the quality of a PlayStation 5 game.
It's very difficult to tell the difference in the 3D images of Bloodborne.
Bloodborne Quality on PS5 Pro
Bloodborne is often considered one of the best games of all time, but it has never seen a release on the current generation of consoles. However, people thought that with the Enhanced Image Quality settings of the PS5 Pro, Bloodborne would finally shine as it should.
One Bloodborne fan took to Twitter to share images of the game they took with their PS5 Pro. They showed screenshots comparing gameplay with and without enhancements, and then zoomed in on the text.
But you can see that the text is clearer if you look closely.
Looking at the images, you can see that the text is indeed sharper, but overall, there is very little difference in the gameplay.
Expert Insights
Comments by Digital Foundry suggest that the Enhanced Image Quality of the PS5 Pro enhances the text but does not do much for the 3D content in Bloodborne.
Digital Foundry says, "In Bloodborne, it doesn’t do much for the 3D content, but you look at the UI and you’re like ‘Wow. This is almost like 4k native UI."
Borne Again
We were hoping for a lot more from the PS5 Pro, particularly when looking at beloved PS4 games that never received visual enhancements. Those who are very serious about graphical fidelity might want to purchase the PS5 Pro, but the average person likely won’t see the difference.
The console release still seems a strange move from Sony, particularly at the sky-high price point.
