And now those devs are:

-Releasing less games/games more slowly because of PC simultaneous development​
-Have more bugs/glitches in the console releases because of the above (sometimes well after the console version, like with the GOT update when the PC port was announced)​
-Making safer/less creatively ambitious games due to increased AAA costs and higher licensing fees (see: Insomniac with Spiderman)​
-Reorganizing internal dev pipelines after they got screwed up with overzealous GAAS plans that were significantly changed a few months ago​
-Less regions for thematic (both storytelling & game design) variety for 1P titles​

Pro enhancements being a dev-side thing means most will phone it in and underutilize the hardware. Most of Sony's 1P won't push the system both because of the increasingly prevalent PC strategy and also because game scope for design is never targeted towards Pro models.
This is all true and it's sad to see minus Sony exclusive games coming out with more bugs. Only one I could think of was Spiderman and even then I rarely experienced bugs.

Games are more expensive to make these days so all of this is to be expected. Sony devs are still world class and I trust them to deliver meaningful PS5 Pro enhancements.

They need to go talk to Sucker Punch who made Ghost of Tsushima and it didn't cost more than 80 million was open world, had great combat and looks phenomenol.

That dev kit design is so weird lol, every time i look at it I'm confused.
personally, i like it a lot. if you put some fine material tuning and blue lights, it would be lit.

it almost like masterfully looking Ford GT40 or Jaguar XJ13 :D

With all honesty, it's just inflation, and incompetence.

For example, The Creator film costs $84M using mostly pro-consumer and low budget filmmaking tools that are accessible to many, while other $300M+ films look worse and not as good. Tech has become so accessible and only dinosaurs are trying so hard to stick to as expensive as possible methods to milk big publishers' money.

Space Marine 2 will have Pro enhancements then, awe yessss.

You mean Helldivers 2? Yeah the 1080p looks fine but the rumored 1440p with PSSR upscaling to 4K should look way, way sharper and clean with less to no jaggies. I feel like crying when I see footage of Helldivers 2 on high end PC's that look so good and clear which really also improves your gameplay slightly.

Hopefully the Pro will let us play Helldivers 2 at 60fps with the same graphics fidelity as the quality mode.

Specs are real. Verge has done an article detailing the confirmed specs.

33.5tf, Sony urging Devs to focus on PS5pro, launches before holidays, focus on RT, which means we will see games running at 4k with RT at 30fps.
30fps will never die.

It's actually 36 tf. There's a higher boost clock for the gpu than previously reported.

Production units could have an even higher boost clock. A month ago the clock was presented as 2.18GHz, now it's 2.35GHz.
My guess is devkits using earlier engineering sample chips use conservative clocks because they don't know how high the production units can reach within a certain power consumption and heat release, and then towards the release date they release the final clocks.
