BC is just bonus for me. so i dont have two hook two console on my monitor.
I’m not fighting just saying I don’t see the PlayStation having a backwards compatibility team that are enhancing older games that the developers have no interest on doing themselves
Yes very doubtful I’m gonna say most of Sony games will go the spider-man route and charge you for a new versionWell, we don't know that!
Doubtful Sony has tho since I don't think they can do much besides testing of the games.
How disappointing.
So as it stands it looks like hardly any games will be enhanced on a per game basis. What this means in reality is that;
- Only games with dynamic resolution will be "enhanced" to reach the resolution cap (which in many cases is less than on the One X version I.e Red Dead Redemtion 2).
- Only games with uncapped or an unstable frame rate will benefit from the increased power.
I honestly find this SUPER disappointing as enhanced patches were my most hyped feature. (Just imagine Uncharted 4 at 4k 60fps!).
Pretty sure I'm done with Playstation now with this and the price increase. Got some serious thinking to do now about whether I still want a PS5.
This is why I said we should be concerned about Sony's silence regarding its backwards compatability plans last week. Some people there told us it was all in hand and not to be worried...
Update: Edited slightly to better reflect it appears only a very small handful of games will be individually enhanced.
You're right. They are coming out on PC instead.Good luck playing PS4 games enhanced on Series X?

Hoping EA Patch this one! its 900p on console.![]()
Oh you still play this too? This is like the only multiplayer game I actually play(until Ghost) and it will be my go to on PS5 too till the next Battlefield comes out. So yeah, it would be great to see something happen to this game on PS5 lol.
I don't get this view point really.How disappointing.

Because their ain't shit else to playMicrosoft implement enhanced patches to games. Eg gears 5 will run at 120fps. When it maxed out at 60fps on the x1x.

CyberPunk2077 has no PS5/XSX patches, can you imagine? Not getting it till they release it.
I understand this is not the point you're trying to make, but if you're going to buy a next gen console anyway and you could wait it out, that would flat out be the best way to proceed.
I'll play other games, plenty of great games. Will avoid all kinds of cyberpunk2077 videos/threads until they release the patch then buy it. Don't wanna waste my time with last gen graphics.
People and even the whole companies expect to be paid for work they are doing ! Shocking !!!
Oh I thought you were making a point about not worrying about patches, which would be valid because it's tricky to hold off on such a game. But yeah man, your plan is very much correct, especially considering that they already announced a next gen version that isn't far off.
Yup, you are right as well, my main point is CyberPunk2077 isn't getting the same treat for neglecting next gen consoles. So not gonna buy it soon, not really that excited about it anyway, hope it deserves the hype. Many other games to play anyway.
Honestly, might not touch any PS4 game that I finished anyway, so not really bothered.
I totally gets you. This whole thread is a look into gaming culture's need for a constant OH SHIT, WHAT? moment as if we don't have like a bazillion of options to play and not nearly as endless time on this planet to do it.
The levels of entitlement in this thread are record breaking.
People want devs to spend months porting their games to ps5, improve them and optimize them... purely because they feel entitled.
The amount of new sales of the old games (that are much cheaper now) wouldn't pay back 2 weeks of the work the devs had, and Sony can only "force" their own studios to do anything, 3rd parties do what they want, Sony can't order them anything.
Ps4 games will work on ps5, that is what BC promises, nothing more.
What I find more ironic is that when a remaster or remake is announced, a whole world of whiny kids cries that they don't want to play old games and studios should be making new games, now that BC has been announced we have whiny kids crying that they want studios to stop working on new games and work on improving old games on a new hardware.

1: Its re-released on a digital store. New customers try it out.
2: It encourages game specific DLC sales, both old content and new future content.
3: It generates sales for the sequel (more people have played the first one).
4: It increases brand awareness/engagement (more people are playing the franchise again).
5: People are more inclined to buy a console that has enhancements to their favorite games.
I could maybe see your point had Sony not kept users in the dark until a month before launch.
To be fair, Cerny told us exactly that
.. months before. It's just the warriors who were constantly spinning the story for cheap FUD points.
I'm am very pleased with BC on next gen, very pleased. Nevertheless MS takes the cake.
People are just used to getting "free" products without thinking what they actually pay for them.
How disappointing.

I would have assumed any game that had 60fps or uncapped framerate regardless of Pro/PS5 patch would automatically hit those target framerates.
But in reality they'll have the same frame drops as they had on PS4 and Pro unless they have a Boost Mode option?
Surely Boost mode should be more then that
with native resolution, better processing of graphics and improve framerate
Just seems like it will be a slight improvement over the PS4 Pro
You're right. They are coming out on PC instead.
CyberPunk2077 has no PS5/XSX patches, can you imagine? Not getting it till they release it.
It has support for them tho on release resulting in higher fps and probably resolution. Then later they will release a proper next gen patch with hopefully better textures and effects like shadows and RT

This is, let's say weird. Did you honestly expect each and every single studio to create a PS5 port of every PS4 game and for that to be released for free? What kind of kool aid are you drinking? That has never happened before and will never happen. Games with uncapped framerates/resolutions will run better using boost mode, just like with the PS4 Pro, just like the Series X.
Mark Cernys "top 100 games been enhanced by play time
You're right. They are coming out on PC instead.
You're just trolling at this point.
Why respond then. Why did he even mention top 100 games in any context if between now and then all games but 10 will be boosted. Did they suddenly make that much headway if this kind of improvement was all he was referring to? Because that's a pretty amazing increase 100 to 4000 odd.
Nope. They will probably do like MS, with selected and tested titles on Firmware. Other games no tested will need a patch, and games from July have to support Boost mode from beginningThe actual PS4 code/copies of the game need to be coded to recognize boost mode. This is different than how Xbox does BC where the games don't need to be patched, but MS themselves can essentially inject upgrades.
So there are going to be some "patches", probably Sony games + live service games will do it.
He mentioned some of the initial testing done for boost mode. In your head that was enhanced patches. I don't even know what to say.
No not at all. I expected a back compatability team at Sony to be quietly working behind the scenes so when BC was detailed liked yesterday they could say 20-100 games are enhanced on a per game basis specifically for the Ps5 including most first party (with little to no developer intervention needed)
Thinks like Horizon PC port that was rumoured to have a duel purpose of also helping to develop the PS5 version, Bloodborne that was rumoured to be having a PC port, Mark Cernys "top 100 games been enhanced by play time" and Microsofts work on Gears 5 and its 360 4k titles etc all gave me hope.
I mean it is what it is but I think it's a shame we couldn't of had more than a handful of current games enhanced via a patch. Its arguably the older games (especially those that never recieved a Pro patch) that need it more.
Hopefully this is a learning curve for developers and more will release with an higher cap max resolution and higher cap FPS option going forward.
At least with Sony's 'hardware' BC approach I know that if I take the PS4 copy of Girls Und Panzer: Dream Tank Match from the shelf and put the disk in a PS5 - it's going to work.
