Do you think that PS4 and Xbox One games will play better on Next gen machines

[More Butter]

I think most people are expecting next gen machines to be backwards compatible. Since that is most likely the case should we expect gamers playing Xbox One and PS4 games on next gen machines to get the royal treatment?

Both Sony and MS did a good job making the PS4 pro and XB1X easy to update games for and some games (even those released before mid gen machines) have better frame rate, resolution, and even more in some cases. Hell MS has some 360 games with 4K res and more stable and faster frame rate.

Do you expect to same treatment next gen?

 

[No_Style]

Yes.

 

[TheYanger]

Absolutely. While I'm sure not all will, most games in the back half of this gen were made with things like dynamic rez or uncapped framerates almost surely specifically to assist with this.

 

[Poimandres]

Xbox absolutely, but I can see Sony half assing it.

 

[PEVO]

Shure, but with a patch such as games on PS4 Pro

 

[Prine]

Yes, they already are in Xbox X (Witcher 3)

 

[chandoog]

They should. PS5/XB2 should come with day 1 "Boost Modes" at the minimum so games with dynamic thresholds or frame drops don't have those issues anymore.

 

[Gulduur]

Probably the same we've already seen both in backwards compatibility and the cases of slim/pro and the xbox equivalent: sometimes a great difference, sometimes negligible.

Fucking hope not. Sony had better been paying attention to what MS has been doing this gen.

Yyuuup

I mean, bc should be a given from both, execution will be interesting to see.
I expect it from Xbox, across all games you can run now on Xbox One (so all games that are currently compatible), from Sony we have to see how much their old games can scale on quite different hardware

 

[Dokkaebi G0SU]

MS - "expected"
What are the BC team doing now? Anyone know?

boost mode for ps5 will be great too.
Anything better than 16x af? Gimme dat knowledge

I can totally see Sony's approach to be similar to the Pro. Boost Mode will be available as an option to cover a majority of software but they will also provide fine tuned enhancements via a patch to select titles.

 

[Jiraiya]

Play better...yes to both. I think micro will be the one to continue to make the old games better looking.

Id imagine the team has some good updates come Scarlett reveal. They would've had some decent time since the program ended this gen.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Yes.

[OG_Thrills]

I know this will sound like heresy to some but I'm not going to be interested in PS4/XB1 games on my next generation console.

Ok, but that's not what OP was asking.

 

[GalvoAg]

Yes, the Pro and X laid the foundation that they will follow.

 

[ShinUltramanJ]

They'd better. And preferably without the need for them to be individually updated by the publisher.

Agreed.

Without question.

So you don't have a backlog or you just don't care about the old games anymore then?

 

[Betty]

Xbox - yeah

PlayStation - probably only for the big titles

 

[Strike]

I would hope so. Enhanced BC is already a thing on the Xbox.

 

[PEVO]

I can totally see Sony's approach to be similar to the Pro. Boost Mode will be available as an option to cover a majority of software but they will also provide fine tuned enhancements via a patch to select titles.

I hope so. But the best thing will be to offer some pc-like options to users, so we can decide how to "invest" the extra power of the next generation console.

 

[Gestault]

Based on what has already been achieved this gen, Xbox almost certainly, Sony closer to hopefully.

Yet the only next gen console where we saw any information regarding improvements on current gen games is the PS5...

 

[Scently]

I haven't played The Witcher 3. I have it on X1X. Looking forward to playing in in 4k60 on Scarlett.

PS2 to 360 to PS4... As soon as the new console is delivered it's a wrap for me and the previous gen. I always say to myself I need to play X or Y but that's never happened.

I'm just like this. My X will be a 4k media player after Scarlett hits.

That's a good point. I was mostly basing it on how amazing Microsoft has been in this space this gen, while Sony has frankly been quite bad (PS1 classic, inability to access old PS titles, very average Pro support for old games)

 

[Mass Effect]

Yep. Should be nice.

 

[GlitchyDegree]

Games with uncapped/unstable framerates will definitely play better on newer hardware.

 

[AndyD]

I;m counting on it. My backlog is too large and some games I have written off (time wise) until the new gen.

 

[Ostinatto]

Bloodborne 120 fps or bust

 

[1er tigre]

I hope so. I'm holding back on playing Control for the moment, waiting to play it on ps5 for a decent framerate.

 

[Jmdajr]

I believe this.

 

[Boozer]

Yes.
After playing bloodbourne for a short while, I'm hoping to get back into it on the ps5 with improved frame rates.

 

[dogbox]

I hope so but I also wouldn't be surprised if publishers thought a truly upgraded version was worth at least a few bucks.

 

[Palookah]

Given the current state of affairs, Xbox for sure, hopefully for ps
