Does anyone know if Spiderman PS4 (not the native PS5 Remastered or Miles Morales release) will run at 60fps on the PS5? I'd rather not buy the Ultimate Edition bundle since I'm not really looking for the next gen high resolution upgrades, just a better framerate.
Edit: The X-Wing VR Demo is a separate thing, but not the VR mission that was mentioned.

I'm pretty sure it was a locked 30 with a dynamic resolution, even on the Pro, so probably not. And I would suspect no patch is coming for it for a while, seeing as how I'm sure Sony would rather you fork over the $70 for Miles Morales and the Remaster. But Insomniac has been doing a lot of goodwill gestures lately, so it's not impossible.
The PS4 Pro options are greyed out and it won't let me change it. Seems stuck on performance. I never had a pro or not so I can't tell if this is normal or whatever.
It runs fine just looks a bit soft.
Just played a round of arcade endless and a planet mode. Seemed fine no hitches or anything. It did popup with the warning saying you could experience unexpected game behavior.
Maybe it has something to do with the VR mode?
So has anyone tried playing AC:Syndicate yet and check if there was any substance about it not working?
Days Gone is super smooth. Was experiencing some bugs with the hordes though. Basically just disappearing. Not sure if this was just the game or related to BC.
I was hoping playing bioshock 2 on ps5 would save me from the game crashing every time I load but same issue. I will never play the game again I guess even though I was really enjoying it earlier this year.
Yeah it's playable but in the open world the shadows are bugged.
I played an assassination mission and that seemed fine. I think the time of day is fixed so there's no dynamic time of day shadows.

I'm pretty sure I have this figured out. Sony has deactivated all demos and trial versions of PS4 games on PS5. There seem to be two issues:
* PS5 mistakenly tags full games as demos, and thus reports them as unplayable. Fortunately, it correctly reads the game license, so users have the option to download the full game again and restore playability. (I think that's what's happening to the Destructoid writer, and he didn't notice they could be restored. As posted above, Battlefront does actually run.)
* Some full games are mistakenly tagged as demos on Sony's backend. I doubt there's any way for a user to play these. Here's the list I suspect is thus affected (16 games):
The Breach
Death Tales
The Gardens Between
Golem
It's Who You Know
Northwoods
Pixelbot Extreme!
Pool Elite
Pool Nation
Snowball
Star Child
Storm Flood
Tower of Time
World War Toons
YIIK
Zebra Cartwheels
I'll add to the OP when I update.
I did a NieR: Automata PS4 Pro vs PS5 test.
PS4 Pro left, PS5 right.
It's not as synched up as I'd like it to be as I kept running into bushes, but it's close enough and I think (hope) it shows the difference despite youtube compression. Couple drops here and there on PS5 but otherwise runs really nice.

Probably the game itself. I roamed around, running, and it looked fantastic. Textures and Deacon looked great. Can't wait for the sequel!
Persona 5 Scramble runs flawless 60fps in resolution/graphics mode. Looks great! Good news for western release.
Still pretty floored by how much better Monster Hunter Iceborne looks and loads on this. Man, games that have locked framerates vs unlocked framerate games are just night and day on PS5 BC. I really hope Sony patches some of their 1st party games, like LittleBigPlanet3 would be so nice at 60fps. Same with Gravity Rush 2.

Does anybody else have Nier Automata, Gravity Rush 2 and Parappa greyed out on their PS5? I can't see anywhere that says they shouldn't be playable.
Tried Warriors Orochi 4, its noticeably smoother but still has some drops. Not larger ones or seconds of slowdown but you can catch it hitching occasionally still. It's almost running perfect though. It's one of the random games I wanted to see run better and it does so yay.
Please Sonyyyyy. Need all those 30fps PS4 sequels that have 60fps remasters of prior entries to have their framerates unlocked.
Some clips I took for load times.
Apologies in advance for the "clicking" sounds. I keep forgetting the controller itself has a mic built in and I keep forgetting to disable it lol
EDF 4.1
You can't tell in this video but it's really smooth. Not sure why it didn't upload in 60fps..

Yes. It runs smoother than a base PS4 for sure but I didn't have a pro so I don't have a comparison there.
They still have the same modes and resolutions as PS4 Pro, but FFXV has an uncapped 'lite' mode, which can now hit 60fps consonantly.
Are they trial versions? Trials/betas/demos don't work.
Go to the store, search and download. Your library is showing demos
If you click on the greyed out game, and then the three dot option next to where the Download button should normally be, it'll list the full version of each game there. For some reason it defaults to betas and demos for those.
Hey everyone, I just decided to test this myself.
On the main console storage, the first cutscene of Last of Us 2 loaded in 39.32 seconds by from the time you hit "start".
On my extended SSD storage, I timed it at 42.69 (nice) seconds
So, SLIGHTLY slower, but not noticable in any meaningful sense of the world :)
Wow this is great. I've always wanted to get an EDF game. Which would you recommend? Are there any with splitscreen?
Is there an equivalent thread like this for Series X? I'd like the link if that's the case. Also, I really am curious as to how certain games run in particular:
Nier Automata
Pure Pool
Resident Evil 2/3
I really hope we get a Final Fantasy VII Remake patch for 60FPS.

I'll let others answer this lol
4.1 is the only one ive ever invested time in
I'll try this myself, but it will take some time for the transfer to happen. From other sources, it's supposed to be 1 minute 20-odd seconds.
Thanks. I figured it out if anybody has issues. It looks like I had to restore my licenses. It's the same process as the PS4 was. Glad I didn't lose any games!
I'm getting consistent results for other games
God of War load time from Internal PS5 SSD - 19.8 seconds.
God of War load time from Internal PS5 SSD - 22.5 seconds.
Uncharted Lost Legacy internal PS5 SSD - 40.42 seconds.
Uncharted Lost Legacy external PS5 SSD - 46.23 seconds.
If you have an external SSD, it will cost you a couple seconds, but nothing major.

So this may sound dumb but FFXV has a toggle to turn HDR on and off. Since the PS5 always outputs in HDR mode, does turning it off in-game actually turn the HDR off? I don't notice the HDR toggle on the TV change at all which usually shows when I enable or disable HDR.
God of War loads that fast?
Uncharted LL loads that slow?
Sweet Jesus.
Last of Us 2 Load time from PS5 Internal SSD - 39.32 seconds
Last of Us 2 Load time from PS5 External SSD - 42.69 seconds
Last of Us 2 Load time from PS4 External SSD - 49.41 seconds
Last of Us 2 Load time from PS5 Internal HDD - 56.99 seconds
CORRECTION: Apparently, I don't have an external SSD, I have an external HDD. It's this one specifically, which I vaguely recall buying for it's higher RPM, but I'll be getting an external SSD now to test out load times properly.
