Hideo Kojima and Remedy Entertainment creative director Sam Lake have teased a mysterious project they're involved in at Kojima Productions. Hideo Kojima is known for working with a number of high-profile actors and creators and inserting their likenesses into his games. For example, Death Stranding characters Deadman, Sam Bridges, and Cliff were based on full-body scans of Guillermo del Toro, Norman Reedus, and Mads Mikkelsen, respectively. Some of Kojima Productions' upcoming games will continue using high-profile actors and their likenesses, including Death Stranding 2 and OD.
PS5 Pro's Rumoured Spectral Super Resolution Tech Could Be Transformative | Push Square
20.03.2024 - 01:21 / pushsquare.com / Sony / Pro
According to all rumours and reports, Sony is working on its own reconstruction technology similar to DLSS, or Deep Learning Super Sampling. The feature, named PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution according to Insider Gaming, seems like a long-term play by the platform holder, with the first iteration planned for the PS5 Pro.
You’ve probably already seen the specs for the mid-gen refresh, which has led to an internal investigation by the firm after it leaked. But one key feature is the aforementioned PSSR, which will help the upgraded system to achieve 4K resolution at 60fps and 8K resolution at 30fps. Looking ahead to the PS6, it seems the Japanese giant wants to realise 4K at 120fps and 8k at 60fps with this tech.
The idea with reconstruction techniques like this is that games can be rendered at a lower resolutions, reducing computation overheads. The technology then upscales the overall image with no discernible compromises to quality. The idea is that you’re seeing a crisp 4K or 8K image, but the hardware can be pushed in different areas because it’s not having to render those pictures at a full native resolution.
We’re sure more will be shared by Sony once the PS5 Pro is announced, but we can imagine this technology being particularly useful with resource intensive titles, like the upcoming GTA 6, for example. We imagine the platform holder will put together some compelling examples in due course, and we’re looking forward to seeing exactly how it pitches this new platform.

This console is going to be way too expensive for… a console, isn’t it?
@itsfoz I'm interested in it but i can't see it being cheaper then 600 and even then i expect around 700 and both of those prices are way out of my price range.
I think I’ll just wait for the ps6. Not especially keen on mid gen refreshes.
100% unnecessary console
Magg from Colt Eastwood's channel is claiming that his source at EA/Respawn told him that they tested PSSR on Jedi Survivor on the Pro devkit and they got a locked 120fps at 4k.
Not sure why an Xbox YouTuber would lie about that but It still sounds a bit too good to be true to me. I guess we'll see though.
I'm definitely buying a Pro anyway.
@hbkay that's your opinion. Lot's of gamers want this, including me. At the end of the day it's like a iphone and iPhone pro. You CAN CHOSE. And for me it's a no brainer. Very excited about this!
@itsfoz Yeah, that seems to be

Sand Land Could Be a Surprise PS5 Hit, But the Grind Has to Be Good | Push Square
Sand Land, the open world adaptation of Akira Toriyama's standalone manga, has real potential. And honestly, that surprised us, because we had this game (perhaps unfairly) tagged as another somewhat underwhelming Bandai Namco tie-in. But now, having played through several hours of the adventure ourselves, we think this could be one of the publisher's best projects in years.
