I’ve played more PS4 games than PS5 games on my PS5 at this point and that’s alright.

I am 100% going to be doing the same when mine arrives, I just hope that some of the games I've been putting off run better. It still seems a bit inconsistent from what I can see so I might play through the stuff that got improvements first

Basic rules of thumb from what I have seen on the net,

If it was uncapped but didn't hit 60, it should probably now.
If it was capped at 30 and didn't hit it consistently, should be locked to 30.
If it was capped to 30 but had bad frame pacing, no improvement.

Dynamic resolution will probably run at max resolution.

Me too but I didn't have a PS4 so it's been incredible. Turns out GoW, HZD, and FF7R are in fact good.

I’ve beaten Demon’s Souls once, I’ve played maybe 3/4 of Miles Morales, and now I’m just jamming Persona 5 Royal until my next paycheck and I’m buying a fat rear end TV so I can play all the PS5 games with HDR and all the bells & whistles. I am feeling sorta stupid about it, but at the same time the way vaccine rollout is going in the US, I realistically don’t expect a return to “normal life” until May/June at the earliest. I’m in my 30s without any preexisting conditions and I work with animals instead of people, so I have to assume I am dead last in terms of getting a vaccine. If I’m really gonna be locked in my apartment for another 6 months, I need a giant shiny TV to fuel my escapism.

But in February Control PS5 comes out, and Returnal in March, and hopefully by April we get the PS5 version of Cyberpunk and then I’ll be good on video games for a bit.

It seemed like it was the whole internet because Sony played their cards super close to their chest on that front for most of the run up to launch, to be fair.

It was really only the very first round of media where they talked about it specifically having some kind of “Legacy modes” for BC that it was mentioned and then they said basically nothing useful about it until it was in people’s hands.

Mark Cerny talked about legacy modes back in like March 2020 and it was publicly stated by Sony at the time that the overwhelming majority of PS4 games will work on PS5. It was only clickbait journalists and doombrained "obviously it's going to be the shittiest solution possible because that's the timeline we live in" posters insisting that it was going to be anything other than what we got.

PS4 version of Cyberpunk play okay on PS5 or does it still have problems? I've been avoiding most news for fear of spoilers so I dunno how much it's been fixed, or even how bad it originally was.

I think whether you can play the game now depends on how comfortable rolling the dice with crashes. Could be constant could not happen at all

I thought 13 sentinels was going to be an “oh no I’ve bought a Bad Creepy Anime Game that I’m going to be really uncomfortable playing” purchase when moments into the opening cutscene one of the Anime Teenagers had to flash some thigh to summon a giant robot.

Luckily nothing else like that happens for no reason for the rest of the game and it turned out to be really loving good!

Thanks, that's kinda what I was figuring. I got Cyberpunk for Christmas but haven't started yet, maybe I'll give it another month for patches or PS5-version news.

I know if I start it I'll have to finish it, but if I hold off I can distract myself with GOW (which I've never played) or some of the other PS+ collection.

If it hadn’t been mentioned in the dialogue I probably never would have even noticed it, and to comment any further would be spoilers!

VVV - also this. Unless you’re super into drawings of shoulders there’s nothing remotely titillating or exploitative about it, and you could even argue that the below examples are more “sexualised” in their portrayals.

The nude in the robots is about the same level of the transformations of like Sailor moon or digimon. If you find those shows to risqué fair enough I guess

It gets repetitive after awhile but the main concept is amusing, and elicited a few sensible chuckles from me over its 10-hour runtime.

I know FF14 isn't F2P but it used to have resolution options so I imagine I can play in 4K/60 frames on the PS5 (It ran like poo poo on the PS4 if you went above 1080p)

It might as well be with the new free trial if people have never played it. I put 70 hours in and found out I was only half way through the realm reborn and was just hitting the first wave of content from patches. Then I've got the entire second expansion to go before having to pay.

I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.
Requested a return on Cyberpunk on PS4 as soon as Sony said they were doing them in mid-December. Then I got a PS5 and it actually ran and I just accepted it for a while. Now three weeks later they finally process the refund and somehow I ain't mad? Never got too far into it, so I figure restarting for a proper PS5 version won't be so bad.

that's exactly it, the game is just "go here and eat this thing, go here and eat this thing, go here and eat this thing, now you're done" interspersed with a lot of wry sarcasm about pollution/commercialization throughout

Even though I never owned a PS4 and have the entire back library, I have mostly played PS5 games. Or ones that have a PS5 version and aren't just running in backcompat mode.

I think the only PS4 game I've played extensively was Disney Afternoon. The others I've wanted to finish my PS5 games first.

Can I go from rest mode to being completely shut down without having to turn it on, and selecting 'off'? Sometime's I have it in rest mode to charge controllers and whatever and don't really want to have to turn on the TV, turn on the console, then turn it off.

I don't think so, but I don't know why you would want to do this, just leave it on rest mode, it uses gently caress all power.

Main reason is if your power goes out at any time while in rest mode your console will tell at you for improperly powering it off and have to run a repair on your internal and external drives

If you never owned it or registered a key (free ps+ version counts as owning the game) you can play ARR + Heavensward for free and get all jobs to 60 without a time limit. Social restrictions exist tho.

I played Demon's Souls and Miles in the first week, and since then it's been an upgraded PS4, which yeah, is totally alright.

Using the PS5 as a much better PS4, while I wait for more games to roll in is 100 times better than sitting there with my PS4 and having nothing to play on it for the better part of a year.

Support for these things (VRR and Auto Game Mode etc) when they're actually enabled on PS5.

(Alternatively if someone releases a super-optimised visual showcase that actually runs 4K120, that requires HDMI 2.1)

iinm, stuff like Dirt 5 already goes higher than 1080p @ 120Hz (though resolution can dip below).

PSVR has nothing to do with HDMI 2.1, are you mixing it up with VRR? VRR is Variable Refresh Rate, it lets the tv match the refresh rate of the screen to the frame rate of the game.
