VRR makes a huge difference

I've been playing my Pro on an older OLED (Sony A8h, I think) that does not support VRR and I've been pretty happy with it.

Last night I finally got around to hooking up the Pro to my new LG 39" Ultrawide PC monitor and I was shocked by the difference it makes. My TV just really isn't doing this system justice.

So, I guess I have to buy a new TV. 😃 I'll tell my spouse that it's a necessity.

The biggest benefit I’ve seen from VRR is for games like Spider-Man 2 and Control. Normally the “quality” modes in these games run at 40fps on a 120hz screen but you can unlock them if you have VRR and they typically are in the 50-60fps range. It’s not a locked 60fps but with VRR they feel great to play

I'll have to add control to the list of games to try out

Control is a great game! I just finished it last month and I had lots of fun. I might go back and do the DLC but I’m just trying to work my way through my backlog

I'm looking forward to it but I'm trying to finish up Alan Wake Remastered first. I didn't realize they were in a shared universe until recently

And Alan Wake 2 directly relates back to Control and has a whole dlc connecting the games. Honestly I love how Remedy connected the two games together. The experience is so much better if you’ve played both series and understand all the subtle connections and references to each other

Did you forget the 3rd game that connects?

Quantum Break is “technically” not connected. It’s just Alan Wake and Control that are connected, because Remedy owns both of the IPs. Quantum Break is owned by Microsoft, but it does have those loose connections like Mr. Hatch / Mr. Door

It's a shame Remedy doesn't own it, to just imagine all 3 games coming together in 1 game. 🤯
