While this doesn’t make for a earth-shattering change with releases like Bloodborne, there is a marked improvement in image quality. But it is not without its drawbacks.
“Being a post-process filter means it’s not as advanced as Nvidia DLSS or Sony’s solution PSSR– continues Leadbetter. “The filter is not integrated into the game engine at all, which means the 2D image goes into the algorithm based on its best guess of what it should look like on a 4K screen, and then output to the screen.”
The report said it’s something that’s “nice to have” but isn’t a game-changer and in some cases it’s worth turning it off because issues like chromatic aberration can be poorly addressed using this solution.
Ultimately, it’s better than nothing, but we’ll have to wait for the oft-requested Bloodborne remake, which is a much prettier version of FromSoftware’s favorite game.
