Ghost of Tsushima's PS5 upgrade is worthwhile but not a game changer
When PlayStation 5 launched in November last year, two Sony first-party developers - Bend Studio and Sucker Punch - tap…

game is good. performance is good too. resolution is good. load times good.
Charging $10 more for this is still absurd
Cutscenes locked to 30fps? This seems odd

About time Sony worked around the ridiculous workaround they had. This should make life easier for Playstation owners.
Game is great if you still haven't played it, expansion seems to be kinda more of the same and the director's cut seems not worthy to upgrade.
Also this version is €80 in EU lol
If you ever think you're useless remember the High Framerate mode exists even though the 4K60 mode is flawless smh
Is thereIs there any benefit to playing the PS4 version of the DC (on PS5) over the Ps5 version? The DF video makes it seem like the PS4 version of the DC won't work, but the PS5 store has that option available for some reason.
Yeah esp knowing sony is improving their SDK which pretty much just point to some of the early issues with versions and saves was more them prob running behind schedule
IMO it is disappointing for being paid when you look at something like Hellblade or Metro Exodus... which are free and do a heck of a lot more.
That said, yeah this PS4 to PS5 upgrade shouldn't cost an extra $10, the $20 for the Director's Cut should've been the only upgrade path. I do hope Sony doesn't pull this shit again if they re-release Part II natively on PS5.
The LOD stuff not being any different is the biggest shame here. Seeing the distance that the grass load in and assets pop in to higher quality versions being the exact same on PS5 and PS4 seems like something that would've been nice to improve.
There are basically no discernable visual enhancements outside of the res boost from 1800p to 4k. All shadow qualities, draw distance, LODs, geometry, textures (outside of a few very minor exceptions) the same as running the PS4 Pro version.
You're paying for the DLC and the non-visual difference (load times, lip sync, etc). Helps that it's still totally gorgeous, obviously! Just a shame it didn't go a little further with any enhancements, especially because it's a rare paid upgrade.

The visual enhancements are disappointing but theres still a lot in the upgrade package. Haptics, load times down to virtually nothing, lip sync. Might not be worth it for everyone so I'm glad they separated it from the expansion.
other companies have made more substantial upgrades entirely for free. We should expect more from Sony
A lot of complaints about the upgrade cost - don't buy it if you don't want it.
The PS5 BC version is outstanding, as is. It was free.
The charge is optional.
At least the DLC isn't locked behind the PS5 Upgrade.

I'm still baffled at Metro Exodus free enhanched edition to be honest. It's just too good to be free. Koch Media must be happy with the sales of the original version.

Ouch. $20 forced content for the opportunity to buy a $10 upgrade for pretty much a res boost. Sony gonna Sony...
Checkerboard 4k.
Not to mention Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which got a free visual upgrade for PS5 as well.
So?
It's still 2160p, checkerboard is just fine, so many games use it these days (RE Village was great too)
I still can't believe they gave away the amazing Metro Exodus update for free. Absolutely wild stuff
Yeah, agreed with you there. It's especially odd considering how much they gave us for free with the Legends mode

There are reasons why they calculate these things for free, this is the same tired argument you all had with spiderman when you dont have to pay a dime if you dont want to. Vote with your wallets and go. You all continually degrade what a games worth is or what the effort is with zero idea on who was working in it, the price of the game, etc.
I get it not worth it to you. Its 10 bucks, and great news the PS4 version is more than competent.
So can you just buy the expansion? Not worth the extra 10 just for some haptics, unless they are really good in here.
I'll probably buy it outright because I'm building my digital library, but still, they need to put more effort in this stuff.

Yeah. 20 for the expansion on PS4, 30 for the expansion plus PS5 upgrade.
I'll say that what you get for a $10 upgrade is disappointing, but this is also the easiest 'vote with your wallet' ever. Don't like it, don't buy it, and you'll still have a pretty impressive PS4 BC+ game.
For me haptics, lipsync, 3D audio is worth it, plus I'm getting it on physical anyway (with a way too good trade-in deal).
Cross post from the other thread:
So, pure conjecture on my part, what if the 'Performance Mode' has been added to give an easy unlock above 60fps once VRR gets enabled.
Or perhaps it is more relevant in the Legends mode?

I'll happily continue complaining when small devs can put out things for free that sony wants money for. I don't see any reason why you would even need to defend that.
Something DF picked up is that they've added a Melee Alternative control scheme so you use R1 and R2 instead of Square and Triangle. That's a nice little QOL change for people who are maybe more used to Ubi or Fromsoft controls.
Edit: They've also added a lock on feature during combat which was sorely missing from the PS4 version.

Small devs have to do it for various reasons esp when they can sell their game at full cost again for it, the sony games always drop in price in a month for two etc so like you all complaining about prices. and Ghosts gave a whole free raid mode and improved the PS4 version for free. I just dont see how you totally discredit all the other parts of this.
