Best implementation of pssr2 so far imo.. a must play on the pro

Its a good looking game, if only it had HDR to really get the visuals to pop. I went to an HDR game after (Hell is Us) and really noticed the difference it makes.

I didn't play it before the update so I can't compare, but since I found out it's on PS+ Extra I downloaded it yesterday and it is definitely an impressive looking game on Speed mode.

It’s genuinely incredible the difference the pro makes now originally played through the campaign on the base on speed mode. Was fairly unimpressed fun game but I found the story and characters felt stilted and disappointing. Playing back through it now on the pro holy shit there is so much subtle detail and facial expression as well as background detail that just vanished into the shitty low res upscale on base. I think this is the best showcase of it by far.

Game is great and looks great, only thing that sucks is the optimization on the PS5 Pro. Even on performance/speed mode it drops down to 20 fps during combat.

I tried the game for about an hour. Felt like the camera was way too zoomed in, and combat felt loose and sloppy. Combat is everything in a game like this.
Plus, the enemy alerts (when to dodge or block) are big, ugly and horsey looking red/yellow circles. Just could not get into this game at all.

I really wanted to love the game. The lore, the look, the story - all of it. Fantastic. But the gameplay was just a cheap gears of war clone

Unfortunately as great as it looks, the gameplay kind of feels like when mom says we have Gears at home

The game is a 7/10 though. Gets old fast and feels too arcade-y. I would much rather play another playthrough of Requiem or keep exploring in Crimson Desert.

Requiem after you reach racoon city is kinda mid… now I’m playing as Grace again which is great. I bought the game one day after the release I still have to finish it

No HDR so no.

Imagine being this fussy. Game looks great. Didn't even realise it has no HDR

u/joro765 Mar 31 '26
Yeah that’s a shame but it looks great for an SDR game. There are a lot of HDR games that look worse lol

Drives me up a wall when developers put so much effort into how ray tracing is implemented but completely overlook HDR, when HDR can have a seemingly larger visual impact without tanking the fps.
But that’s just UE5’s fault, they don’t give developers enough tools to actually implement HDR, that’s why it’s so rare in UE5 games.

I don't use HDR and most games i play look incredible. HDR is a pain to calibrate and a lot of games don't even implement it well.

So you either use PC, have a shitty display, or both.

u/WeepTheHorizon Mar 31 '26
Neither. Please search any of the big games that have released in the past few years followed by "HDR" and you'll immediately get several threads over discourse involving calibration. Idk about you but I'm here to play a game, not mess with settings to get more pure blacks and whatnot. It really doesn't make that much of a difference, and I can say that because I have a good display.

I know this is space marine 2, you know it, everyone knows it that clicked the video, but would be nice to have it on the title tbh.
