Summary

  • Gaming journalists John Scaplehorn and Oliver Mackenzie have extensively played both the PS5 and PS5 Pro versions of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
  • At around 19 minutes into a podcast, the pair discuss the game’s asset quality, including footage comparing the two PlayStation models
  • The PS5 Pro version, they note, consistently delivers 8K assets, while the base model frequently must rely on 4K or even 1080p resources
  • Scaplehorn remarks that the opening train sequence of the PS5 Pro looks “incredible,” but assumes a reachable resolution of around 4K owing to the detail seen
  • Comparatively, the PS5 version frequently falls short in textural and geometric complexity, with fewer shadows and fewer particle effects, despite higher framerates
