With the way prices are for new hardware, the previously baulkalicious prices of the PS5 Pro don't seem so obscene anymore... seriously considering getting one, especially with enhanced pisser tech.
The tech behind this is impressive but it is replacing the intended art with what DLSS thinks is 'better'. Theoretically, the look of any character could be changed to whatever face model DLSS uses as it's reference; if that was something the user could choose it may have certain benefits in certain types of games, but not in this case. I tend to agree with others that it looks too generic, even if it's more detailed.
Generative AI is the modern version of clip art. It should be acknowledged but its artistic value is nowt.
Wouldn't it be kinda cool if Microsoft would partner up with Nvidia again and essentially relaunch the Xbox? The advantage of DLSS would likely give it superior image quality and performance over any AMD powered competitors, and allow even a modestly specced configuration room to breathe (look at what can be done on Switch 2). There's also the nostalgia factor for farts like me who embraced the original Xbox, only to gradually abandon the brand.
There's some excellent ports of Super Mario 64 on Android and other weakish retro handheld systems that can run at 60fps uprezzed. Also recommend checking out the 3DS port with stereoscopic 3D for modded 3DS's.
These new chips and RAM prices the way they are gonna push prices beyond what might be reasonable for a handheld...prices already are nuts for existing devices!
This is cool tech for sure, but it still leaves us with sacrificing the contrast/ colour pop that OLED can offer in favour of clarity/ less blur. Then there's the subject of HDR; something that can have such an evocative effect on the viewer.
Still, can't wait to see these displays out in the wild.

Re: Review: Tomb Raider Definitive Edition: painful downgrades on Switch 2
They could at least be honest about this not being the "Definitive Edition".
