Backward compatibility: PlayStation®4 games playable on PlayStation®5
- Thread starter Thiago
- Start date
Hope they clarify save game compatibility as well. I'm a bit worried about starting a game now and not being able to finish before ps5 comes out and I trade in the ps4.
Had no idea that home internet had data caps. I don't think I've ever had a limit imposed like that, but I guess you learn something new everyday
They have the same sort of disclaimer on PS4 pro boost mode and only one game seemed to have any problems(SOMA I think), and also on the psn name change with some serious potential issues that haven't been reported online yet, they even provided a list of games with potential issues. I bet that disclaimer would still be there even if all PS4 games worked on the PS5.
Oh this is a great question. I really hope it does since I've used it so much this generation
It'd be pretty much impossible for them to have a large enough team to run through thousands of games when some of them have specific content locked behind dozens or even 100+ hours of effort. I'd like to think they at least did some kind of general check for all major titles beyond the early-game/tutorial, but again some games take hours just to reach the open world so who knows lol
Save files will work for all BC games. They even say how to transfer them in the article.
A lot fo that is sort of answered in the OP. They basically tell us that some games may exhibit errors. They might not be game breaking ones but they could hinder your enjoyment.
The impression I get is that there is nothing that is definite about this BC solution. I wouldn't seek your PS4 until you know the games that you want to play work without issue.
P.T. isn't downloadable from PSN even if you "purchased" it with your account right? So, assuming it runs on PS5, we'll have to potentially do the WiFi game transfer from PS4 to get it on PS5. Guess I'm keeping my PS4 for a bit longer.
How are you going to put PT on your ps5 when you cant download it
Seriously....😒
lol, pretty much.
More info is probably coming.
Exactly.
PS5 having trouble with RT
Last minute overclock to push it beyond 10TF
Yield issues
Only 100 BC games at launch
It will be at least 60k to 70k yen as per my Japanese sources
PS5 struggling with 1080p/60 in certain games
The UI is a lie
Games aren't being whitelisted by Sony. It's games that already have the modes patched in to take advantage of the higher power or just games that couldn't hold their target FPS in the first place.
They aren't going to lost every single game that counts for because it would be too long and they don't want to promise stuff that could go against them.
I don't think it's defensible. It was poorly justified when it was announced, and now that we know they're perfectly fine with people playing Miles Morales with a DS4 instead of a Dualsense, it's even more obviously unjustified.
It's simply dumb that I can't use my DS4 and DS together to play multiplayer Dirt 5 with my kid or something.
There's a trick to redownload it but otherwise it's not readily available in your download list. I wonder if the trick works on the PS5.
The list of PS4-only games excludes demos.
So it not being on that list doesn't really tell us much. Will have to wait for someone to try it probably.
Can someone give me a list MS has provided for every game that is BC and what enhancements they have?
Also where has MS stated that every game will have enhancements. As far as I'm aware all the games the DF tested were games with unlocked frame rates and variable resolution that were brute forced by the hardware. No secret MS sauce.

I could be wrong but I thought they basically made it so it's not required to support the DS4 but I believe if a developer wants to add support for the DS4 they can. Otherwise no 3rd party controllers would work on the system, right? Seems more for cases like Astro Bot that use all of the Dualsense features, it would probably be unplayable during certain sections without a DS.
This is BS man, I can't believe Sony won't let me play my games on this. /s
The fact that the PS5 doesn't play PS4 games with the new camera is bullshit. So I have to keep both cameras around? UGH.
Don't think it would need to be, there is a local system transfer option.
It's just not really possible to improve fps and resolution etc for most of the games without patches, and this goes for XSX as well.
Without patches, games with uncapped frames and variable resolution will see benefits on both consoles, that's basically it. Only difference on a system level is that Xbox has the auto HDR algorithm for games that don't have HDR implemented.
I never said it was, just that it's entirely consistent with how they view hardware and there should be zero surprise about this.
I've already cancelled my preorder and banned any future Sony products from my householdIt's unacceptable we can't play Joe's Diner properly on PS5... >: (

It's like Medusa's head, cut one "concern" head, three new "concerns" pop out.
They said this weeks ago, and it was pretty split for people for / against it. I think it just has to do with all the gimmicky tech they crammed in the Dual Sense, which just like the Dual Shock 4; most of it probably wont even be implemented past the first year. For instance, do you remember that there is a speaker in the Dual Shock controller? How about using the Touch-Pad as an actual touch pad, and not just a giant button.
Then Microsoft came out and said 'Yeah all our shit works over everything fuck it"
I am still confused.
Can I play PSVR games using my official PS4 camera with my PS5? Or do I need to buy the new cam?
I understand I will need to use my DualShock. But the camera question is unclear.

Ohh, I didn't think about this aspect. I've been debating on which system to get Dirt 5 on between PS5 and XSX and I was leaning towards PS5 because of the Dualsense features but I might lean back more towards XSX because I'll have extra controllers to play multiplayer with.

Yes, you use the PS4 camera for PSVR BC. Sony will provide a free adapter.
You'll probably be able to use existing external drives on PS5.
I don't think that's true either. The PS5 is also a PS4. You can play PS4 games with a DSense. The limitation for the opposite scenario is quite arbitrary. Especially if they let you disable the new haptic and trigger features, which they eventually will if they don't already due to accessibility concerns.
It's pretty clear you can only use the current camera but you need an adapter.
Don't buy the new camera, it's not compatible with PSVR.
Sony will provide instructions soon on how we can order a PS4 Camera Adapter free of charge.
