Don't think it's Psycho since it seemingly lacks RT reflections on some rough surfaces, but those guys on Twitter are just idiots. Psycho doesn't do a lot more than High except for being much more demanding and the differences are hard to spot.
I think there's also benefit of Pro patches overall for next gen. Ps5 runs PS4 games in BC, if they had Pro versions, then ran at those settings. If you have ps6 on horizon, it would make sense it would ran best versions in it's BC mode, so all Pro games would look and run even better on base PS6. This is is why I don't like so many games just don't have FPS uncap for quality modes. Like if cyberpunk had toggle for 40fps mode, then you potentially are looking at 60fps or more on next gen console.
The fact there's this many people mistaking Pro footage for PC Path Tracing (with mods even), and straight up refusing to believe it's not should tell you everything.
RT shadows and RT reflections (on transparent/sharp surfaces only though) are Psycho settings. Not sure RT AO and those RT lighting elements, but according to ERA those are too.
I think they might be. I've heard they are full res, they render all shadows within the reflection, and the distance is huge. Yes, I don't think I've seen better on console.
No idea personally, that's what I've read on the purple place.
Weak ass response from beluga, that's still trying to downplay their colossal fuck up. "Vast majority of reflective surfaces do not seem to use RT.. This includes most windows.. glossy painted surfaces"Oliver responded to some criticism on beyond3d.

He's literally contraddicting CDPR for fuck sake:
I haven't tried it myself, but we had people here corroborating every single glass surface in the game has RT reflections:
Where are those "vast majority of windows" without RT when even all those balcony ones have it?
Not sure about "metals and glossy painted surfaces" either, after reading this:
And I guess car paint could also enter within both definitions.
What a joke.
Yes, it's not that serious, but if they were in any way professional, given afterall they interact with (and influence) directly developers and are even acknowledged by people like Mark Cerny, they would take down the video, issue an apology, and make a whole new one.
There is no making PC redundant. A lot of the draw of PC gaming cannot be replicated on consoles. I'm still surprised this is a talking point in 2026.
Same nonsense we hear at the start of every gen. PS3 was supposed to make PCs obsolete with the power of the Cell. PS4 was going to make PCs struggle with the massive 8GB of GDDR RAM it had, PS4 Pro made PCs useless because of advanced checkerboarding, PS5 had the almighty SSD IO.
And PS5 was supposed to force everyone to get 64GB of RAM and a super fast SSD.
And millions agree too, so what's your point?
4 sentences. Such confidence. All wrong.
Wow so much wrong…are you ok men?
can't you try to put your TV into 120Hz ? The 40 fps feels pretty fluid imho, and yes the added GI sometimes has a transformative effect
I don't think that's possible if you connect to the TV through a receiver and the receiver does not support it. So the choices are to connect directly to TV and have the audio alone go back to the receiver via eARC or fiber optic, or upgrade the receiver altogether.

, why can't you connect directly and use eARC or optical? I had an ancient receiver for a long time that didn't even support 4k 60, so that route worked well for me for years....

Probably when I'll actually end up playing it. Lol. I think there's going to be quite a few games that get path traced remasters around launch because they have no other game ready during that window.
I'd rather play the Raytracing Pro Mode at 30fps within a 60hz container just to avoid the color banding that comes when executing 4K outputs within a 120hz container on the PS5 due to the console's inferior HDMI bandwidth.Are there seriously people who would rather play at 40fps over the 70-90fps mode?
End of 2027 will likely have 70% of PCs on Steam more powerful than a PS5. It's currently just over half.PC gamers should listen more to Valve regarding the "PC"

Reflections are not everywhere. Not on puddles or surfaces that are diffuse. Which is everything that is not mirror like. SSR is still pretty obvious in those cases.
May be there is a performance bottleneck in doing that. Large bodies of water in this game generally means there is nothing much happening on screen at that point, so they can afford to do it. Any roughness means sending out rays for most pixels all the time, even during heavy combat scenes. When it's raining, that simply may not be within the budget for this game on pro. Could be VRAM bandwidth, for example. Just a theory
Let's not pretend contextual signals are not stripped in text, yeah?
The current RT reflections which are in are pretty high resolution though, could they decrease the resolution of these in order to active reflections on rough surfaces ?
