Never had the chance to play it. I have heard mixed reviews about it but never could play it myself. I'll clearly give it a try when I can.

Could you please tell me if there is hitching/stutters like in the last gen consoles. Also is the loading speed improved?
I'm really not the person to judge those things. These days loading is so fast in general that I've been spoiled. I can't really say without any form of measurements. And now it's back to work. I can only play so long during my lunch break.

Okay I can confirm that you can just import your PS4 save without some weird upload/download system, provided the save is on the console you are playing.

I'm absolutely confused why other publishers did the whole upload/download thing.

Ok, thats weird. Maybe sony has implemented a new way to import saves in newer SDK revisions? Good to know anyway, thank you.

Yeah it takes two did this too. It shared saves across versions. I don't really get the whole download upload thing. Might be an engine thing like control

It's interesting for sure. But it could very well be that Sony offers some kind of standard/default saving system (which is compatible with PS5); but that it's also an option to implement a more customised version (which isnt compatible) and if you do that; it's up to the publisher/studio to make sure saves can be transfered accross.

I tried launching the game on my Series X and got a prompt that an upgrade is available. Downloading now - ~50GB.

I hate to be pessimistic, but I feel like if the changes were dramatic EA would be doing more to promote this launch. Still, I'm interested to hear more once folks get their hands on it.

Well, if there is no changes, then why bother? They already made an enhanced BC patch, and additional SKUs cost them money.

Gave it a try on ps5. Solid 60fps with no hiccups on Bogano. Looking very solid. Shadows on characters look weird though.

Installing on Series X now.

Of course it says Series X/S enhanced, and the description states "optimised for Series X/S". Talk about barebones marketing even in the description.

Trophies seem to pop when you meditate. I'm not 100% sure it was every PS4 trophy I had, but a lot activated.

Blah, the trophy unlock bugged out for me. Had platinum on PS4; when I loaded my save in PS5, it only unlocked 4 trophies:
  • Scan all enemy types
  • Discover 75 Force Echoes
  • Collect all chests and secrets
  • Find all of BD-1's encrypted logs

So I played a bit on my X and I see no difference between this and the back compat mode. The microstutters when traveling are still there, textures on ponchos/lightsaber switching menus still take about a second to load, and the performance mode is definitely lower res than the 30fps mode. Maybe it's just the back-compat version for now and it will be patched later?

So on XSX at least (don't own the PS4 version) I can't see much of an upgrade over the prior 1440p patch. Still looks really soft compared to the game running at 4k on my PC. No 120hz mode either. And still has random stutters.

I guess PS5 will see an upgrade though as the prior patch was only 1080p there IIRC.

LMAO

On ps5 the game has no mechanism to check if the game is fully downloaded yet, so if you try to load a mid-game PS4 save, the game just crashes

I selected purchase and download for free ps5 version. Came home and it had downloaded the PS4 version first. Whyyyy…why is this this default? Why would I want both versions of the same game???

With what I've heard so far it seems extremely cheeky of EA to be repackaging this as a next gen release.
But honestly I'm surprised this is the first BC enhanced title to simply be shifted to a new SKU and be sold on as something to different it's last gen version.

This seems to be happening a lot lately with PS4 to PS5 versions - Saints Row The Third Remastered had a similar problem where only certain trophies unlocked.

It's possible as you play the game more will unlock, but it's hard to know.

Why? It's not like they're charging again for it, it's a free upgrade. At the very least it will take advantage of faster load times.

Was like that on it takes two as well. Just gave me one trophy for find all mini games and had to do the rest manually. Still the ones you unlocked are the time consuming ones at least
