Spider-Man 2 and Crash Bandicoot: Does the PS5 Pro Live Up to the Hype?
Spider-Man 2 and Crash Bandicoot: Looking at the PS5 Pro
Today, Sony unveiled the PS5 Pro, a mid-gen refresh of the 2020 PS5 console priced at $700. Mark Cerny showcased the console’s new features, including advanced ray tracing and a stronger GPU, promising higher frame rates and resolutions. As exciting as these upgrades sound, many gamers remain unimpressed.
Why the PS5 Pro Falls Short
While some gamers are thrilled about the PS5 Pro's capability to enhance games like Spider-Man 2, many are skeptical. Despite claims of better visuals, like sharp graphics at 60fps, the real question is whether these differences substantially change the gaming experience.
- Enhanced graphics are nice, but...
- Is the difference truly game-changing?
- How relevant is frame rate for casual gamers?
Several gamers, including those who focus on metrics, might find value in these upgrades. However, the average gamer might prefer a console that reliably runs their favorite titles without technical hiccups.
Cost vs. Benefit Analysis
With its steep $700 price tag and a lack of a disc drive (which requires an additional $80), evaluating whether the PS5 Pro is worth the investment is essential. Many gamers find it difficult to justify the expense when the upgrades in Crash Bandicoot or Spider-Man 2 seem minimal.
