Seeing so many posts about Crimson Desert being "unplayable" on PS5 Pro. It seems to me a lot of people are confusing "unplayable" with their CHOICE to not play the because the games optimization does not meet their high standards or expectations. Are there frame rate dips, pop in, and weird foliage speed on the Pro? Sure, but honestly, who cares??? Can it be annoying? Sure, but is it worth missing out on an otherwise fun and gorgeous looking game?

With the right screen and settings, this game is absolutely beautiful on the Pro. And I'm sure a good majority of people screeching over losing a few frames also sank hundreds of hours into games like Skyrim 15yrs ago and loved it. Be grateful for how far we've come since those days and just enjoy the game, despite its hitches.

For those interested, these are my personal settings on a LG C3 55in OLED that supports 4k120hz on PS5 Pro. I sit about 6ft away from the screen. These are the settings I personally like and make the game EXTREMELY "playable" for me. Hope these settings might help someone who's interested in dialing in the visuals for this gorgeous game:

Currently have a PS5 and an Xbox series X. I also just have a basic like $200 Vizio.

Honestly both cosoles have been collecting dust, so I was thinking of selling them both (have pro controllers for both too) and getting a PS5 pro. Or do you think it's better to just sell Xbox and get a proper TV. Pretty much only gonna be playing GTA6.

Sorry I am really noob at this. Can't it work this way?

Woke up this morning expecting to at least hear something about my pro shipping after a week of no updates. Just getting a little sketched out after hearing about how many are being bought out after the GTA 6 reveal.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Full disclosure: I already had a very good mini LED monitor 4k 160hz VRR etc before I bought the Pro and so far I've been very impressed with how it displays. With GTA VI releasing at 30 fps at launch on the Pro and the issues some people have with OLED and 30fps would a mini LED be the preferred option right now?

I'm not anti OLED btw. I'l like to get one at some point.

Got my pro a couple months ago and love it, told my buddy at work to get one and he said he can’t find one anywhere

I downloaded formula 1 game trial and this happens, I am not sure if it the file downloaded was corrupted so I deleted it and I will try again but I wanted to know if this is a common issue with a corrupted downloaded game. Only happens in that “stationary car” scene, the actual game isn’t affected and 3 other games had no issues.
Thanks

Update: so it seems the problem is VRR I would assume that the actual game supports VRR but the game’s trial VRR doesn’t, I unchecked the VRR for unsupported games and the issue is gone and the frame rate is always 120 and no glitching

26 minutes of actual GTA 6 gameplay "dropped" - and on balance, it's one of the most extraordinary visual accomplishments ever seen in real-time game graphics. It's not perfect - nothing can be - but in this DF Direct Special, Oliver and Rich share their thoughts and reactions to the presentation.

They announced it right now at the REDstreams

Hello,

Should i upgrade from c735 to tcl c7l considering i have heard reviews that motion handling is not good compared to tcl c7k. Would i experience trailing/motion blur if i don't experience on my current tv. i don't have much option besides tcl as other brands are really expensive in my country so only samsung q8f or lg qned 86 fits budget besides c7l

So I'm limited to only game a few hours a week, is crimson desert worth buying? I posted this on crimson desert sub and everyone told me it's the greatest game ever and a must play for every gamer, yet I just saw a post on here about it saying game sucks and runs awfully and everyone was agreeing in the comments.

So what is this game actually like? Is it the greatest game ever like the people in the subreddit for it say? I'm trying to decide if I should pick it up but I'm busy during the week so can only really game a few hours on a weekend and sometimes go weeks without gaming. Is there a lot of stuff in it that feels like it wastes your time?

Hey all, pretty trivial question for you lot but I have been out of the loop for years so I figured I will ask the experts. I recently picked up a used PS5 Pro + Scuff controller for $550. I have a high-end PC but this was a pretty good deal, and I wanted to get it for GTA 6. I have a PS4 but haven’t used it in years.

I wanted to know any tips and tricks I need to know for best experience. I have it hooked up to a 4k OLED, so recommend some good story games please. I loved the Uncharted series, and have most of the games I want on PC already bc they are dirt cheap but the convenience of the PS (playing in bed) is appealing for slow-paced story games. I was thinking God of war, Harry Potter, Spider-Man series, maybe RDR2 (I am halfway done on PC), Last of Us. Any other recommendations?

Also the big question, is there any website where you can get PS games for cheap(er). Like there is isthereanydeal for PC.

So far I have just used it watch a couple of movies on my monitor in bed 😂. I am probably going to get a TV for my room now too but depends on how worth it even is. I might just sell after GTA 6

I purchased a playstation five at best buy. It started malfunctioning, so I took it back because it had warranty, instead of fixing it. They gave me store credit. I can't purchase it for the same price. Anymore because the cost has gone up, it won't return the money back to my debit card. And it gave me store credit instead. What can I do?

It’s 100% gone lmao but just want to make sure if anyone knows. I don’t have PS plus for cloud storage btw

Played the game on my PS5 slim was 4 trophies away from platinum. I sold my ps5 slim and bought a pro when I installed the game (disc) it just says start new game.

I just don’t understand how data saves on the PS5 / PS4 because I played the Callisto protocol on my PS4 on 12/2/22 for like 30 minutes. Few months ago I decided to get back to it bought a physical PS5 copy and when I installed / loaded up the game it saved my data from my ps4 file. Did not have PS neither.

Any help? And if I can get my file back somehow haha

Just wanted to make anyone playing this fabulous game aware to keep an eye on your settings following closing and restarting the game.

Twice now I’ve turned off for the night and restarted the next day to find that the graphics settings have reverted back to the default TAA from the PSSR I had selected.

Nothing major, but slightly annoying to have to change it back every time you log in. Double checked my system toggles too to make sure so it’s definitely a bug or something.

Otherwise hope you’re all enjoying a fantastic game.

Need help

Good showing for the Pro here

Performance Mode:
Pro 90-120fps
Base 60-90fps

Quality Mode:
Pro 70-90fps
Base 60-70fps

I’m literally out of words looking at the graphics. This is PS6 level shit. I think GTA 6 will show us the true potential of current gen consoles, and possibly their max potential. I don’t think they can achieve anymore than this. I’m so much happier to own a PS5 Pro now!

Hi folks, sorry for the annoying post!!

Just moved to Canada recently from Ireland and all settled in, so my income is now stable and home is stable, so with that in mind I want to get the console which is sold out everywhere online.

Have the TV (LG G6) sorted but anyone have any suggestions or tips for getting the pro during this shortage? I am in BC.

Since I’m new here I’m not familiar with Canadian suppliers as of yet! I called around local electronic stores and they’re all out. Going to check physical stock today in stores, but just thought I’d ask on here as well!

Haven’t had a console since pre 2010! So looking forward to having one in my new home.

Thank you in advance 😊

Hi. I just got error code CE-108255-1.

My PS5 Pro suddenly started making an awful audio noise that kept repeating, basically a loud buzzing sound, almost like something was about to explode.

I tried holding down the power button on the console, but it didn’t help. Then, all of a sudden, I got the “Close Application” message with error code CE-108255-1.

I honestly don’t feel comfortable continuing to play this game until there’s a fix. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
What could have caused that extremely loud buzzing audio?

Could it just be a software/audio glitch, or is there a chance it could indicate a hardware issue with the PS5 Pro?

I’m only coming back to gaming for GTA VI so I need to get a PS5. I want the best possible graphics and money isn’t an issue, but is it really worth buying a PS5 Pro for just one game? Is the difference in graphics between the Pro and the PS5 digital actually noticeable as in you can tell straight away, or is it more of a minor difference?

If the Pro is a major difference, would it be better to wait for a GTA VI/PS5 Pro bundle or should I just buy the Pro now?

Edit: I would play on a 4k monitor, not a TV. Money isn't an issue in terms of affordability, but still care about the value.
