Am I the only one who held back on playing the PS4 2020 games; waiting for the PS5 upgrade?

I'm pretty much with you. I am in my final year of a grad degree (plus job, family, etc.) so I don't have a ton of time. I'm going to reward myself with a PS5 next summer and will have a lot of great PS4 games to get to on it when I do.
I did the same thing minus FF7R. Played through FF7R earlier in the year(thank god, wouldn't want to go through that slog right now with all these other games available), but I held back on GoT and TLOU2. I beat God of War this year for the first time, but I wish I waited after seeing all the PS5 enhancements.
Dont believe it's had an update yet because I'm waiting on it too. Biggest complaint by most people was that the load times were very long on PS4 soI assume there improved on ps5
Same question! I actually wanted to buy this on sale but not if they plan on releasing a PS5 version specifically.
The ESRB website lists a Series X version but not PS5: https://www.esrb.org/ratings/37177/Crash+Bandicoot™+4:+Its+About+Time/
Yeah basically everything released this year will be a PS5 game in my book when they get upgrades - Ghosts, Last of Us 2, Nioh 2, Dreams, Crash 4, Doom Eternal. Everything except FF7R which I ended up getting from someone.
Held off as well.
Only played through Days Gone(wish I held off on given the upgrades), but I got it during some $20 PSN sale last summer and couldn't put it down after testing it out for kicks, ended up addicted and earning the platinum.
Didn't bother with TLOU2, GoT, even God of War and Spiderman PS4 I never finished. Knowing the PS5 was coming, I purposefully avoided purchase or playing further until the new console. (The old Spidey PS5 'loading' demo like a year ago convinced me to not touch that game again on PS4 after~12 hours).
Nice bonus is that I just got GoT on sale and it has all the upgraded patches and the perf boost, so its going to be real special on PS5. Days Gone players are also in for a treat.
Hoping for a LoU2 patch as I plan to play other games first to see if it happens.

I rarely buy games day one or even year one, and right now I have a bunch of PSNow games on top of my own backlog games to play... I was tempted to get TLOU2 in the Black Friday deal but I will just wait till at least Xmas or early next year when it might be even cheaper. But I am not rushing for it (or for GoT), as long as I have what to play I can just wait to get them and play them on a PS5 later.
I put my GoT play through on hold waiting for the PS5 and I also had bought days gone in a sale over the summer and figured I might as well wait for ps5. Is it worth playing these games now on ps5 or wait for some kind of upgrade patch (maybe that already happened i wasn't keeping track).
The only games I held off to play on PS5 were Saints Row the Third Remastered (which runs fantastically on PS5), and Mafia Definitive Edition (sounds like they haven't announced a patch to add an unlocked framerate toggle so I might just get it on PC after all). Otherwise I just played the big stuff earlier this year on PS4, I didn't want to wind up with a massive backlog for December.
Yep, me. Never got the pro so I'm playing a lot of older PS4 games right now, Horizon specifically right now.
Yes I'm in the same boat. I only just bought GoT on sale, and I'm not buying LOU2 until it's clear what's going on (or not) with upgrades for PS5.
I had already got the Platinum Trophy in Ghost of Tsushima on PS4, but I loaded it up on PS5 anyways just to see how it looked. I got a new TV as well, so jumping from seeing it at 1080p 30fps to 4k 60fps with HDR was amazing. Could hardly believe it's a PS4 game!
My list is almost the same as yours. I just bought last of us 2 digital. Stopped playing doom knowing it would be upgraded.
I'm going back even further. I'm playing God of War for the first time despite owning it for quite a while. Just finished Infamous First Light last night too. I've still got Ratchet and Clank and Spider-Man from PS4 to play.
I couldn't wait on TLoU PT.II and Ghost of Tsushima and I'm glad I didn't,they were both fantastic even on my launch model PS4.
I just bought Control Ultimate Edition in the PSN sale but will wait for the PS5 upgrade...and I'm also not going anywhere near Cyberpunk 2077 until the full PS5 version drops.

I did the same thing with a lot of the PS4 exclusives. Days Gone, God of War, Ghosts, Last of Us 2, etc.
The last PS exclusive that I played to completion is Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy. This despite buying PS4Pro at launch. I bought Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition in 2018 or so. I started GOW twice in the past two years but I am now playing the unpatched version from the start on the PS5. It's nice knowing I have quite a number of PS4 exclusives + PS5 exclusives to play atm; Days Gone/GOT @ ~4k/60fps, HZD, Spiderman Remastered/MM, Sackboy, TLOU2 once it gets the inevitable remaster/enhanced BC. All this plus whatever is coming out next year....

Man, I can't even imagine people that didn't play tlou2, days gone, ghost of Tsushima, spider man, ffvii remake, god of war and many others...
what a time to be a gamer for then, to play all this fantastic games for the first time and enhanced on PS5.
Unfortunately, the last few years has been a little rough for me and I passed a huge amount of time in home, so I played more videogame than ever and played absolute every big release I wanted on PS4 and xbox one...
I don't have any backlog unfortunately.

I'm still dodging TLOU2 spoilers. As much as I loved the first and wanted to play, it just seemed like the wrong moment. Covid didn't help. I wasn't in the mood for anything that grim. But it's also clear there's a better version somewhere round the corner, and I'd like to play that.
GoT was always a 'wait for sale' for me.

Did the same. And with their bc looking good, may not even bother with remasters and just find cheap discs of these games in a couple of years.
Playing ghost of T on PS5 is like playing another game. It feels and looks so insane. Hoping last of us and FF7R get a nice bump too as I have them but haven't played them.

When PS5 version was announced to a March release date, I just decided not to download my preorder and get the PS5 version when available since it was a free upgrade. I possibly would've played if it PS4 saves worked on PS5, but since that is not the case currently, I would rather wait.

The Last of Us was actually good on PS4 compared to its messy PS3 version. I'm going to assume the same is the case for Part II so I will own the game soon but not play until a PS5 upgrade comes.
And I don't really trust what people say about the technical achievement of Part II on PS4 because I heard the same thing about the original on PS3 and it was often sub-30, some low resolution textures, poor looking areas, etc. The PS4 version was the game they wanted to make the first time clearly.

Played TLOU2 because I just wanted to get that over with before getting spoiled somewhere, but held off on GoT, and while I played about an hours worth of Days Gone when it came out, I ended up switching to other stuff, so I've got that waiting for me now too. Started up GoT yesterday, and so far, it's fantastic!
