@get2sammyb It should AT LEAST default to the console version you're playing on though. And an opt in toggle if you want the old for a separate trophy list.
@wiiware Terrible comparison. When Persona 5 came out the PS3 was dead several years by that point and there were already dozens of millions of PS4s because everyone had moved on.
Compared to Spiderman which is selling more on a console not even out yet.
@thefourfoldroot But the PS5 is running it as an overclocked PS4 because it's not a native PS5 port. It is treated as a PS4 game and has to stick to the development environmental enforced 60fps cap.
@naruball Thanks for proving my point. Since there was no way to dispute the facts because I'm right, you got in your feelings over plastic and here you are going to insults.
It makes me so happy I get to use this comment again because there are literally people in the comments section complaining about Microsoft paying to keep upgrades of existing games off PS5 (which still work in BC mode), while Sony are paying for modes and even entire games to stay off other platforms for an entire year.
"Keep that same energy you guys have when Sony does it and you praise it all the time"
@God_of_Nowt Cool, thanks. I have my games all on an external SSD so I was planning on doing a network transfer for save files and remaining few leftover small things.
I'll have to uninstall it from my external SSD since that is patched. Then I'll just pop the disc in with the ethernet cable out whenever I get around to a PS5. That game is ridiculously sluggish in it's current form.
@fluggy They actually did say exactly that in the deep dive back in march.
Specifically said "don't go out and buy any just yet because they're not on the market till later this year" and "our drive is 5.5gbps, it will need to at least be equal but preferably faster"
@thedevilsjester Actually they said equal or preferably a little bit faster to be safe. Per the Cerny deep dive. There was no implication of considerably faster at all. 5.5mbps will work. My guess is 6000mbps to be "safe". PC drives releasing now are considerably faster than the PS5 drive and we're now very close to maxing out PCIE 4.0
@AdamNovice Store, not play from. Like.xbox can. Quicker to transfer back to the console to be able to play them than redownload or reinstall from disc.
I do get a kick out of all the "financial deal!!!!" comments because I always make sure to point out "keep the same energy you had when Sony were paying for timed exclusive games or content and you were praising that".
@Medic_Alert If anyone actually believes it was human error, then they're gonna be disappointed. These things get reviewed and passed through multiple levels of checks multiple times.
Besides, both FFXVI and Demon's Souls had their wording changed from "also available on PC" to "not available on other platforms for a limited time". I guarantee you it was only changed after Sony saw the instant ridicule they got.
"* on Xbox Series X|S, all our Xbox One games will be backward compatible. On PlayStation®5, all games will be backward compatible except the following ones: Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles Trilogy Pack, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles India, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles China, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles Russia, Risk, Star Trek Bridge Crew, Werewolves Within, Space Junkies."
I've already refunded it and will pick it up cheap down the line during a Steam sale. I've got plenty of stuff to play on my personal backlog as well as about 6 months worth in my professional backlog too.

Re: Some PS5 Players Are Mistakenly Playing the PS4 Version of Cross-Gen Games
Awful design on how it's handled by Sony. At least the Xbox automatically prevents this. Very on brand for Sony so far this gen though.

Re: PS5 Backwards Compatibility Limitations Block Call of Duty: Warzone from Running at 120 Frames-Per-Second
@thefourfoldroot There is nothing truly next gen about a game designed around a jaguar CPU and GCN GPU.

@thefourfoldroot Except that there are none to compare yet. It's all cross gen.
Re: Call of Duty Loads in Seconds on PS5, But You Have to Wait for Everyone Else
Lol it's cute seeing console guys now dealing with what we've been doing on PC for years. It's like a child on christmas. Wholesome.
Re: Here's Why Rocket League Can't Run at 120FPS on PS5
@thefourfoldroot Likely not an option based on PS4 dev environment. It's clearly the issue that the PS4 software was not designed to output.
Re: Here's Why Rocket League Can't Run at 120FPS on PS5
@thefourfoldroot But the PS5 is running it as an overclocked PS4 because it's not a native PS5 port. It is treated as a PS4 game and has to stick to the development environmental enforced 60fps cap.
Re: Here's Why Rocket League Can't Run at 120FPS on PS5
@thefourfoldroot Because unlocking the frame rate on a PS4 game will likely cap out at 60fps due to how the PS4 development environment was coded.
Re: Here's Why Rocket League Can't Run at 120FPS on PS5
@thefourfoldroot Output on PS4 likely capped to 60fps. Dirt has a native PS5 port.

@naruball Thanks for proving my point. Since there was no way to dispute the facts because I'm right, you got in your feelings over plastic and here you are going to insults.
Re: Rocket League Won't Get Meaningful Upgrades on PS5, Unlike Xbox Series X
@GamingFan4Lyf Agreed. This is why I don't take fanboys seriously. I'll gladly wait out the FF16 timed exclusivity myself.

Re: Rocket League Won't Get Meaningful Upgrades on PS5, Unlike Xbox Series X
@Shepherd_Tallon Yeah, I'm sick of Sony paying for timed exclusives as well. Glad we're on the same page.
Re: PS5 Could Add 1440p Support if There Is Enough Demand
Downscaled is such a stupid term. It's called supersample.
Re: NBA 2K21 on PS5 Needs a Minimum 150GB of That Precious SSD
Higher quality everything comes with a price.
Re: Best PS4 Exclusive Games
@LiamCroft TLOU, Spiderman, SOTC. One could argue the "remaster/remake is only on ps4", fine.
But most notably, Horizon Zero Dawn.
Edit: FF7R even confirmed as multiplat in the original announcement.
Re: Best PS4 Exclusive Games
Bunch of multiplats included on this list for some reason.
Re: PS5 Doesn't Support Save Transfers via USB

Re: PS5 Doesn't Support Save Transfers via USB
Hey Push Square, is there an option to transfer your entire PS4 contents via LAN to PS5? Including PS4 save games?
Well, except for PT lol
Re: The Last Guardian Runs at 60FPS on PS5, But There's a Catch

Re: Sony Stresses Japan Is of Utmost Importance After Report Claims Company's Interest Has Drifted
Don't you mean "the former a timed exclusive" because I haven't seen anything about RE8 being timed.

@SlouchingToast There are already multiple drives that have exceeded the PS5 raw speed requirement now for the last few weeks.

Re: Sadly, You Can't Store PS5 Games on an External HDD
@Mpquikster Yes but you need to be logged in to the PSN account they were bought with (if digital) or have the disc available (if physical)
Re: You Can't Play PT on PS5
@GKO900 The playstation community have an unhealthy obssession with Kojima.
Re: Godfall Is Apparently a Timed PS5 Console Exclusive for Six Months
Just like FF16 and Demons Souls and whatever that other Project game from Squeenix.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Requires 133GB of Free Space on PS5
@lacerz Also a viable option. People want all the improvements but don't want to face the cost of said improvements.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Requires 133GB of Free Space on PS5
You want next gen quality textures and effects? Here you go. You don't? We have a product for you, it's called PS4.
Re: Dragon Quest XI S Demo Out Now on PS4, Progress Carries Over to Full Game
Just buy the PC version of the original. It looks the best, can mod in the proper music and almost all the extra S content is completely worthless.

@Rob_230 If Syndicate wasn't on the list I probably wouldn't have bothered posting it tbh, since other than that they're all pretty small games.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Gets a Surprisingly Cheeky TV Commercial
Sony might wanna revisit their PS5 BC list because Ubisoft just announced a bunch of their games won't be BC on PS5, including some AC games.

Re: Watch Dogs Legion - The Dullest Ubisoft Open-Worlder Yet
@Deadlyblack Ubisoft love the "play as anyone" approach as you don't need to write good characters/stories that way.
They did the same in ZombiU, play as anyone.
