PS4 BC on the PS5 to work on “overwhelming majority” of the library, games to benefit from improved frame rates and resolutions

Full BC. Boost works in most games.

 

Just like expected.

Hmm.. Well, I'm gonna have to make a gametime decision as to whether I want to trade-in my PS4pro for a PS5.

 

Might decide that over the summer.

Such a needlessly confusing fuck up on their part.

 

 

And notice how they STILL don't say "at launch"...  Not that I have doubts anymore.. but still... this unclear messaging is baffling.

They Xbox'd themselves. The word is already out, few pay attention to retractions.

Going from 900mhz GPU to 2.2ghz and 2.1 CPU to 3.5 will lock framerates  and all dynamic resolutions to their peak guaranteed imo.

That's great and all but what about the enhanced One X games which will now pin to Native 4K while the Pro versions cap at like 1440p?

It'll drip feed, everyone is asking about it because the original messaging was ambiguous.

You still get instant loading and locked framerate regardless. I see no issue.

That's awesome for Xbox owners no doubt.. but being honest.. it's all about just being able to play the library you have on your new console. 

 

Maybe SOME games will get little updates.. who knows.. but as long as the games work properly and essentially max out what their PS4 Pro restrictions were, then they're fine.

no ps3 bc no dough

They'll demo BC comparisons at the reveal imo. Boost clocks was what I expected would be nice if we go better AF, filtering etc as well

Idk maybe it’s just me but I don’t give a shit about playing old games

"To date, we’ve spent over 100K hours testing your favorite games from Xbox One, including existing backward compatible 360 & OG Xbox games, on Xbox Series X. While we are still in the process of validating, we can confirm thousands of games will be playable at launch.”

 

MS said the same thing, I wonder if it's just phrasing so they don't get sued.

It's obvious their backwards compatibility solutions are identical for PS4/Xbox One.

All BC we got before PS2, Wii, Wii U, PS3, 3DS, Gameboy etc was garbage compared to this. Both consoles are setting a new standard for BC for the future regardless. They all performed the same the original hardware. Not even sure if we got slightly faster loading, nevermind performance upgrades

 

It's the most quality BC we've ever seen in the console space. Not quiet on the level of PC obviously but damn if it doesn't make console games age much better.

As predicted, this has been drip feeding all day.

Gears 5 loading was like 30 seconds on One, and like 15 on Series X.

 

I don't get the performance variance in loading times.

 

State of Decay loaded like 5-6 times faster in comparison.

None of those games were optimized around the storage medium, that's just raw loading. Basically they're loading how a PC SSD would load.

State of Decay loaded in like ~8-9 seconds. It wasn't very fast. I assume Microsoft may throw a bit of Machine Learning towards this, but we'll see. The Spider-man demonstration was way more impressive.

Spiderman was optimized for the SSD I think though. Also 22 GBPS for the PS5 SSD is the maximum theoretical.

 

Remij was wrong.
