PlayStation Super Spectral Resolution (PSSR) Sparks Debate Among Gamers
Ubisoft to Release Patch for Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Ubisoft has announced that it will be releasing a patch for Assassin’s Creed Shadows to provide support for Sony’s PlayStation Super Spectral Resolution (PSSR) technology. However, not all fans are convinced about the benefits of PSSR.
PSSR: A New Upscaler
PSSR is a new upscaler developed by Sony, which uses AI to upscale games to provide sharper image clarity on a 4K TV. While it has been reported to have some visual issues with previously released games, Ubisoft is now convinced about its performance.
Developer’s Perspective
Ubisoft worked with Sony to address issues with PSSR, particularly with moving vegetation and water. In a statement, the developer said, "PSSR is a new upscaler and after an in-depth collaboration with Sony over the past few months, many issues have been addressed, mostly around moving vegetation and water – problems that other titles have faced."
Gamer’s Perspective
Fans are divided on the benefits of upscaling tech. Some gamers are skeptical, expressing concerns about the potential trade-off between quality and resources. One gamer wrote, "I can’t see any difference at all on any PSSR title. In fact, In GT7, it makes the image worse, with a weird shimmering texture on car interiors. I feel cheated after having bought the Pro."
Pros and Cons of PSSR
While some gamers are fans of PSSR, others are not convinced. Some argue that native 4K uses too many resources, while others find that upscaling tech, such as Nvidia’s DLSS, is nearly indistinguishable from native resolutions. One gamer wrote, "Anything that can deliver a similar image with vastly less power used can only be good for gamers."
Conclusion
The debate surrounding PSSR highlights the complexities of game development and the choices that gamers face. While some are convinced about the benefits of upscaling tech, others are more skeptical. Ultimately, the choice between native 4K and PSSR depends on individual preferences and priorities.
