Re: PS5 Pro Could Seriously Improve the Quality of Your PS4 Games

DennisReynolds

@nessisonett No it wasn't. The PS5 runs games at PS4 Pro settings and brute forces framerates to whatever the lock is meaning a game like Monster Hunter World that has an unlocked framerate can reach 60fps on PS5 or a game like Just Cause 3 that had an awful framerate is now a stable 30fps on PS5. The PS5 Pro is using its upscale tech to now increase the image of PS4 settings something the PS5 is incapable off doing.

@KilloWertz Gaming is a luxury no one is making you buy anything gaming related.

Doom Eternal can run with great visuals at 120hz so by your logic FF7 Rebirth should run at 120hz with great visuals as well.

As for Horizon yeah sorry i confused you with the other person who brought it up. My point still stands with it though and its worth noting its Performance mode looked terrible at launch for it to the point they had to pretty much remake the mode months later to fix its issues.

@KilloWertz You don't understand engines and how games are made do you. The fact you're using a PS4 game as an argument doesn't help you. Wanna know something DD2 and MHW are doing more then what Horizon is doing, its not all about pretty visuals you know. Yeah 1st party games are almost always above 3rd party for the reasons i explained, GG and Insomniac know the PS5 better then Capcom ever does and they both use engines tailored made for the PS systems and the types of games they like to make. Capcom uses the RE Engine an engine originally used for linear "smaller" games like DMC and RE, clearly the engine is struggling with open world games and its why DD2 and MHW look the way they do. Finally a lot of games rely on CPU but both PS5 and Series have really small CPU, chances are GTA VI will also have some drawbacks on console because of the CPU limitations. Its why DD2 performs the way it does on console because its CPU heavy like MHW.

@WizzNL Horizon 2 is still a PS4 game its just running on "ultra" settings on PS5, its not pushing the console in anyway as everything about it is rooted in last gen. The DLC is PS5 only but remove the cloud tech and it could have been put on PS4. You're also missing the point about it being a 1st party game, 1st party devs for Sony usually have their own engine and have more knowledge and experience with the console then 3rd party devs. In fact this applies to all console 1st party devs and its why Spidey 2, Forza Horizon 5 and Tears of the Kingdom are able to do things 3rd party games can't. Capcom Devs have to make a game for 4 different machines now 5 with the Pro and have to use an engine that clearly is struggling with more open bigger games, GG has their own engine and only need to worry about PS when making Horizon.

Really unimpressed to be honest. Performance and visual issues aside (both are awful) i'm not too thrilled with the focus on story and rubbish set pieces. The combat is good at least but so far i can see this being my least favourite entry based on what the beta offers.

Also its pretty clear the RE engine is struggling with "open world" games based on this and DD2.

@McTwist Games flop in every gen and Black Myth is only a success because of China and honestly the hype for Black Myth is pretty much dead now, the PS5 version is still a mess with zero noticeble fixes and the while the game is good its kinda just that 7/10 good. Concord flopped yeah but Helldivers 2 was a big success so 50/50 on that front. End of the day though 60M+ players and 90%+ of them don't comment online moaning so you don't really know how the vast majority feel. People are not going to stop buying PS consoles why because no one cares for Xbox anymore and the Switch is pretty much the 2nd console so unless you think people are giving up gaming next gen the PS6 will be a big success like every PS console.

@Fishnpeas Sony released 27 games in Year 4 of the PS4? Yeah i want a list of these games as i feel context is missing.

Yeah shocker games take longer to make nowadays. Look at Assassin's Creed we have only had 2 games this gen so far and both are on last gen consoles. Games cost too much money now and require a lot of time to make so pumping out endless titles is just impossible. I listed 5 AAA games that are either console exclusive or straight up exclusive and that's more then both Nintendo and MS have released. There's also Lego Horizon to come as well. You're expecting too much from Sony and well everyone else.
