Is The PS5 Pro BETTER For VR?

I compare the PS5 to the PS5 Pro using the VR to see if maybe this is a use case that justifies it's cost.

6:55 Penguins are more difficult to render because they aren’t running Linux.

I love that the aroma evaluations are just a normal tech review mention on this channel and we all go along with it.

The PSVR 2 uses eye tracking to determine what areas of the screen can be rendered at a lower resolution. Basically, it's always rendering the highest resolution wherever you are looking. Everything in the periphery can be blurry and you won't notice.

AND the ps3 originally was backward compatible with ps1 and ps2. The value was stupid high

The best reason to buy one would be, only if you have a large audience, to show other people why they shouldn’t buy one 👍

7:07 i love pixel peeping at the ice hole

Looks like it’s not much of an improvement

These triple black lines are not for ventilation. Purely cosmetic.😂

I actually really appreciate how well you blend the comedy into comparisons like this. This is the kind of content i would look for if I were deciding to buy things. Seeing the side by side, in motion and screenshots is also a huge help.

the penguins in the kayaking one are skeletal meshes, which means they take more memory bandwidth overall than a static mesh, therefore the pro can support more of them.

Only problem with PS5 Pro is its ridiculous price. In Australia, thanks to Black Friday deals you can find a PS5 digital for about 500 AUD (tax included) On the other hand PS5 Pro here is 1200 AUD. So instead of buying a PS5 Pro you can buy 2, 4 PS5 Digital editions. It is just ridiculous as I said.

The entire PS5 Pro is cheaper than 2TB storage at Apple.

Isn’t the resolution falloff on the edges of the image because of the foveated rendering?

[westonallen]

Something to consider, on PCVR, the gameplay you see on your monitor and the resolution sent to the headset are not linked in any way. This is because outputting two separate windows of your game causes extra strain on your GPU. I would wager that Sony could have increased the rendered resolution in the headset while leaving the TVs resolutions the same. That could explain the better quality you see in the headset, but little to no change in your recording

Glossy plastic looks nice until you blow on it gently to remove dust and cause a million scratches.

the reason vr games tend to not look as nice as flatscreen games is because the screen is right up against your face.
the pixel density per degree of vision is an extreme amount lower, resulting in a lower resolution image compared to even a similar resolution flat screen display.
the lenses also interfere with colour and can glare like you would see on your glasses (if you didnt get an anti glare coating).

the lenses in the psvr2 have an internal coating that applies a slight blur to everything in order to hide the screen door effect better.

I think you are probably the first person I've seen to provide a legitimate reason for the PS5 Pro to exist. As you said, when looking at the screen captures its almost impossible to tell the difference (especially for most people who will be using this console 3-4 meters away on their couch) but when your eyeball is smooshed up against the screen it becomes much easier to see the better detail.

Okay I set up the PSVR2 to on my PS5 pro no issues pure fun great colors great contrasting colors great sharpness. Gt7 was the game I played

Hi Dawid, you have quickly become my favourite tech youtuber! Always brightens my day when I see you have uploaded 😁

I don’t get why it’s so hard to design those feet to just fold down when you need them then lay flat when folded back up
