The video discusses a recent update for “Star Wars Jedi Survivor” on the PS5 Pro, which aims to enhance performance through improved PlayStation Super Sampling Resolution (PSSR) technology, addressing previous visual issues and stabilizing the experience. While the update shows significant improvements, such as resolving flickering problems and enhancing the River Run section, some issues remain, including softness in image quality and a peculiar vignetting effect.
In the video, the hosts discuss a recent update for “Star Wars Jedi Survivor” on the PlayStation 5, specifically targeting the PS5 Pro. This patch aims to improve the game’s performance by upgrading the PlayStation Super Sampling Resolution (PSSR) technology. The hosts reflect on the previous patch, which had significant issues, particularly with performance and visual fidelity, leading to a less stable experience compared to the standard PS5 version. The update is seen as a positive step forward, attempting to address these shortcomings.
The hosts detail the improvements brought by the new patch, noting that the strobing and flickering issues with foliage have largely been resolved, resulting in a more stable visual experience. While some minor issues remain, such as a slight pulsing effect in certain scenes, the overall performance mode has seen a marked improvement, especially in motion. The infamous River Run section, which previously exhibited severe visual problems, now looks significantly better, with improved lighting and reduced shimmering effects. However, the image quality is still described as somewhat soft and lacking clarity.
Despite the improvements, the hosts point out that some issues persist, including a peculiar vignetting effect at the edges of the screen, which they believe is unintentional. They also mention that while the performance metrics have been stable, there are still concerns regarding the game’s ray tracing global illumination (RTGI) not functioning properly. The quality mode also shows similar trends, with some lingering instability and softness, though it does not exhibit the vignetting issue present in performance mode.
The discussion then shifts to a comparison between the PS5 Pro’s PSSR and NVIDIA’s DLSS technology on PC. The hosts note that while the PS5 Pro’s implementation has improved, it still does not match the clarity and stability offered by DLSS. They highlight that the PS5 Pro’s image quality can sometimes appear noisier, particularly in still scenes, while being better in motion. However, they also acknowledge that the comparison is somewhat skewed due to the older version of DLSS being used in the PC version of the game.
In conclusion, the hosts express cautious optimism about the update, recognizing the improvements made while also acknowledging that there is still work to be done for PSSR to reach its potential. They call for future updates to address the lingering issues and elevate the PS5 Pro’s image quality to a level that meets or exceeds current standards in gaming technology. The video wraps up with a reminder for viewers to support their channel and stay tuned for further updates on the game and its performance.
