Guys I can’t understand what you guys were saying because caption is turned off, ever since you guys released videos, I won’t be able understand if they anyone in the video were talking. Please don’t turn off caption and please consider adding captions, so that I can share with my Deaf gamers. Thank you
I hope they look into this!
up
Everyone share this
Well I can at least summarize this video for you. They discussed how most PS4 games run flawlessly with a solid 60FPS on the PS5. And you can look at the graphs on the screen to get an idea of which games did not get a solid 60. The PS5 using checkerboard rendering performed better than the series X with games like Sekiro. Basically it feels really good to play these PS4 games on a PS5, it feels like a remastering of the original games. Not just for the FPS boost, but the games even look better graphically. There was only one or two games like Bloodborne that are stuck in 30 FPS unfortunately
For the most part for this video the visuals on the screen speak for themselves. The voice is a nice addition just to give you something but if you just watch it you're going to get 99% of the information. I could have watched this with no audio. This is still no excuse for having captions turned off of course and I hope they remedy that for you.
I bet when you get captions on this you have a completely different opinion which is why they need to add them

Dont you read the title ?
@@jayparker5941 yes. But it still caught me off guard 😅
The content I live for. Brilliant analysis gents
i just came from your backwards compatibility video, excellent work i enjoy your videos a lot.
Can't wait for your review as well gent!
A great video, quick question in your Series S video you suggested Xbox One games that were less than 1080p have been boosted to 1080p but here they gave the impression that they were still at whatever those original resolutions were. Is it something that has been pixel counted either way?
I would love an MVGxDF crossover about emulation!
@@pspthegr8 yes we want this
get yourself a girl that talks about you the same way they talk about locked 60 fps
Both probably take it up the boom boom......LOL
@@nolann3815 You got two girls who do that with you? Nice.
or just get yourself a girl, with this audience. just jokes.
I think that's near impossible, lol. The admiration is uncanny.
Then you'll be talking about locked 69 :P
Just a short note to say that this is indeed a 4K video - but once again we're waiting for TH-cam's encoders to catch up. Expect 4K and higher quality 1080p60 to come along in a little while.
Awesome video just watched it all, but I was hoping to see Horizon Zero Dawn, any info on that game, does it hit 60 at 4k High Quality Graphics?
you can feel the PS5 bias seeping through,
Have you guys heard anything about PS5 supporting 1440p as a native output like the Series X? I bought the LG 34GN850-B a few weeks ago and was hoping for native 1440p 120Hz support, from what I've heard it's not likely. Playing at my desk I think 1440p 120Hz is a sweet spot and I don't think upscaled 4k with dynamic framerate/res is good enough. I'd hate for 1440p monitors to be stuck with upscaled 1080p! I also don't think anything less than 60 FPS at any resolution in 2020 is good enough.
I've always been a PlayStation gamer and have only picked up proper PC gaming in the past 3 years. I think PC gaming has spoiled me!
Could you test crysis remastered ray tracing mode on the ps5 ?
@@BurningFlame08 im sure u can set 1440p in ur display settings on the system. Thats just a given

I'm a big xbox fan, and seeing this makes me happy for all playstation owners. I'm sick of the negativity between fanboys. I hope this video puts all trash talking away and everyone just enjoy playing your favorite games. I may pickup a PS5 eventually myself, I did own the 1,2,3 and skipped the 4. So the 5 maybe perfect to play the PS4 generation games in full 4k 60

I completely agree with you! Even though I'm a big PlayStation fan, I will be getting the XSX as well. There are some really good games coming out that I want to play on the Xbox.

Hahaha
This makes me glad I skipped out on PS4 Pro. Going straight to PS5 will be awesome
Like you can find one right now 😖
going from base ps4 to ps5 is a big upgrade but the graphics basically look the same on ps4 pro. The biggest change is the framerate for some games.
@@thanos2399 I have mine pre-ordered from Target on that crazy first night of preorders
So excited I secure a PS5 also at launch 🚀
Same here. I also waited on buying the first party games in the last 3 years to play them on a next gen experience. So for got, spiderman, the samurai game that came out and others I'll never know the ps4 experience but I'll play them as they should have been on PS5
Now we just need every developer out there to publish a patch for their games to unlock the locked 30 fps games to 60 fps on PS5.
Ratchet & Clank ps4 and Horizon ZD need 60 fps patches
Not every developer will do that.
They wouldnt go back and do that.
Good luck
some games just cant, their animation is set to 30
Glad I never played Ghost of Tsushima yet! I'm going to enjoy it for the first time in 60fps on the PS5 and I'll definitely be replaying God of War!

music for my ears
That's a good time right there.
You love to see it
The fact that sekiro runs at a solid 60fps literally made my day thank you guys! After stopping playing it because of its uneven framerate on ps4pro i can finaly continue on ps5 😁
Yea I don't even wanna play days gone on ps4 until I can play it at 60fps
But you have to start from the beginning. 😉
@@Gagac you can transfer saves
FromSoftware games are the best Sekiro will be great on PS5 and I'm waiting to try Bloodborne and of course Demon's Souls.
Yes! I’m in the same boat. After having played DS3 on PC at 60, I just couldn’t tolerate Sekiro hovering between 30-45 on Pro. Glad to see I don’t have to double dip on a steam copy after all.
I’m so so happy about 60 FPS in days gone, I just got into the game and I love it so much. It will be so much better playing it on the 5
Yea its a great game but the Framerate was just appalling in Days Gone, Especially when riding the bike in the later levels.
Dude, enjoy Days Gone! It was probably the most underrated game on ps4. I love it!
And also all those loadings after and before every cutscene. They will be basically gone with the fast load speeds
I fell of it for some reason, but I’ve been hoping for an update for the ps5 to be able to pick it up again. Now I can’t wait.
I guess the game now should be called...."Loading Gone" 😉
I’ve been playing Sekiro on PS5. Soooo smooth. So difficult too, which that 60fps helps. Makes it easier to tackle.
It still hitches for me in hirata estate. It’s not frame drops but it’s hitching and I’ve seen it in walkthroughs. Surprised they never mention this
The “warning” is not unlike Boost Mode on Ps4 Pro: merely a catch-all warning the 4000-5000 available games have not been individually checked. Boost mode had the same warning. Nothing to worry at all.
That's what I thought. I'd rather have a warning and know it's not been checked for backwards compatibility than just not be able to play it outright. Seems like a bit of a non issue.
sound sony alright..
@@campkira It's so they don't get sued. It's more of a legal thing.
Thats actually not true, there is two type of warnings in the PS Store. The one you are talking about is the one that just says you may need to update your console to run the game. The warning they discuss in the video is one that says "you may encounter graphical issues" running this game, go check in the store Doom Eternal and Sleeping Dogs as shown in the video show a different warning than most games.
Well, as long as we never find any issue, no problem at all, and no one care right? It just like manual book that majority never bother with
Damn lol, they got me with that “not good news” in the beginning. So glad it’s great and it just works.
Me too. I even forgot about the title of the video for a moment.
My heart sank..
Xbox has been doing this for years lol. Welcome to backwards compatibility. I thought Playstation players didn't care about old games!? Simps!
@@ccmuscleman21 Still dont care much, good bonus, but not the most important thing.
@@ccmuscleman21 You sound angry that you have no games to play on the new Xbox but old games 😔
AMD has really outdone themselves with this generation of consoles.
AMD has outdone themselves in all fronts. Ryzen Zen 3 being faster than Intel in pretty much everything now. Their 6000 GPU’s are looking mighty competitive to Nvidia’s recent Ampere cards.
It’s absolutely incredible how much AMD has managed to turn things.
Yep, ryzen is pretty great on multi task, and now it also great compared to intel on gaming
@@Zenzuu I would say just that, AMD will finish this year in real style.
AMD is smart. They made last gen consoles have shitty ass specs so any little upgrade at all is a big upgrade.
Although, I'm still more skeptical on the GPU side. My 5700XT had horrible ass drivers so I have little faith in their RDNA2.
@@cunnyman I agree except the RDNA 2 gpu are going to be alot powerful than both series x and ps5. The only thing they have is rdna features not power, also a rtx 2070 super is better at a graphical and performance wise
As someone who never really played console games and didn't have one... I really want to get a PS5 and play all of those great PS4 games in their best quality now!
Sooooo... did you get one? If so, what are your thoughts and what are you playing?
@@mikem2253 I did get one and it's a great console. Played through Uncharted and God of War already. Working on The Last of Us soon. :)
@@xAeternax how did you end up getting it??
@@GabrielGarcia-lw4tb Around here a MediaMarkt store was taking "pre-orders", so two days after official launch I signed up for that... and then I waited for them to call me.
No need to keep searching for new ones becoming available, or dealing with scalpers.
@@xAeternax you'll be surprised but the older consoles, such as PS2, Dreamcast, GameCube and the original Xbox, had lots of games with locked 60 FPS.
Was really hoping you'd discuss dynamic resolution games. Particularly, games that had a maximum of 4K and usually ran lower than that on the Pro. I think Assassin's Creed Origins is a good example.
Any game that has a dynamic resolution will always run at the upper bounds of the limit. Say if a game on PS4 Pro ran at 4k dynamic res, as in that was the maximum res but it dropped frequently on current-gen hardware to maintain frame-rate. On the PS5 it will most likely run at a locked 4k.
@@Shaved_Ape not necessarily look at gears 5 was dynamic 4k one x and still is on series x
@@MMTT7sALd
That's different because they went back and patched the game to make it run at a locked 60fps in the campaign as well. It never ran at a locked 60fps on the Xbone X. Not even close.
Any un-patched game that originally had a dynamic resolution or unlocked frame-rate will automatically run at the highest settings without any additional work.
@@Shaved_Ape thanks for clarifying
@@Shaved_Ape Right, I expect that but it would be cool to see some of that in these videos
Developers need to open up those 30 frame locks on resolution modes so that we can enjoy 4k 60 modes
Unlikely for games like FF15 as they've moved on to FF16 and already deal with the issues of covid effecting those newer games.
They will feel like they are competing against their own next gen titles, so they won't do it.
@@Skylancer727 Yeah, but unlocking frames wouldn't require any special resources. It can done on PC, a mere code change is going to do the job.
That's what Rockstar is going to do for GTA 5, remove the capped framerate and play at 60fps. Can't wait
4K native 60fps will be hard on both consoles. Dynamic 4K and 60fps will happen.
I stopped playing Ghost of Tsushima until i get PS5. That game is the best ive played in many years and to experience that in 60fps is going to be incredible.
Man I've put insane amount of hours in ghost even on just standard PS4 and was incredible, Ps5 is gonna be next level
No disrespect but I felt people buying Ghost and Last of us 2 early this year to me aren't that bright or didn't think about that ps5 was coming in the same year. I never played both because I said people will be pissed because they got a half assed experience while I am going to play both in 4k 60fps for the first time. Why buy a game when the current console can't lock 60fps and the ps5 can? I don't understand the logic not waiting months for a good experience.
Same! I've played Ghost for about an hour, then decided to put it to one side and start it again, properly, when I get my ps5 👌✨
@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 it was a fantastic experience and still is because of the online coop but I mean sure not everyone has such an elitist mindset, I don't have to rebuy ghost when I get a ps5 anyway so it's a pretty dumb thing to say really if you haven't even played it lol
@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 Well until 4 weeks ago we had no idea it was a possibility. The devs just announced it was supported. And we dont know if its going to be native 4K, just 60fps through game boost.

Damn, I was expecting to see Until Dawn. Crazy to see how it runs on the PS5 since its FPS is uncapped
I just made my girlfriend play that game. I love it ha.
Pretty much will same as everything else, 60fps
John said on Twitter that is running good.
They usually capped framerates at 60 when they say uncapped cause the older consoles would rarely hit 60
until down has lazy developer to run optimally 30 fps on base ps4
It's for this very reason that I have held off buying and playing a number of PS4 titles. I want 60FPS (get a PC, I know) that's locked and the last gen was wildly inconsistent in that area. Looks like I'll be picking up some older, cheaper titles once I get my hands on PS5. :)
Horizon: New Dawn should be awesome.
I skipped the "Pro" generation because I knew, based on specs, it was a waste of money. The CPU bottleneck was so obvious and so many people bought into it.
I instead put my money into PC gaming and have not regretted it, except that I chose to go with ibuypower instead of building my own and could have saved money/paid the same and had a better GPU and memory.
I'll be waiting to move into this next console generation and upgrading my PC instead, personally.
However, eventually, I'll need 3 PS5's. The life of a gaming family.
Same here, by the time I had enough money to buy the games I wanted I figured I might as well wait for next gen. So here I come God of war, spiderman and ghost of tsushina
@@fuerte1300 Buy a ps4 and enjoy the many top shelf bargain bin games.

Same here. Went full pc on this generation (excepting for TLoU2 played on temporary ps4 pro) and I have so many exclusives and games that just won't run well on my pc, can't wait to play those on my PS5. About this, the PS Plus Collection has been great great news.
NIce to see Sony do some back compat. Gonna be a good generation for both honestly.
Agreed.
@Cesar Ponte And how's that a ptoblem?
@Cesar Ponte if you're talking about 120 fps dont expect it anywhere else other than pacman games, even on the Xbox series X. Doesnt really matter anyway, if a game has a solid 60 fps you won't be able to tell the difference even if it were to play at a 120 fps.
Wtf? Sony started back compat to begin with, you must be new to Gaming. PS2 & 3 both had it, PS4 didn't because of crap hardware unable to emulate PS3 bespoke CELL Broadband Engine. PS5 simply emulates the console in question clocks, it was designed to do this, Bluepoint Games inadvertently revealed they got original Demon Souls game running on PS5 and then they rebuilt the current game on the original game timings. Sony isn't saying much because it's better to stay quiet until everything is in place. People will be surprised but PS5 can run all PlayStation titles, what do you think is powering PS Now? No chance they are still using those old 40nm Cell chips, too hot and cost ineffective. They had to migrate that to something current and built for future streaming.
I'm case you missed what I said, Bluepoint Games had a PS3 title running on PS5. Yes PS5 can run PS3 titles, Sony probably won't do it since there isn't a market there, but it can do so.
I feel like the warning is because they haven't fully tested those games to verify they run fine. There will probably be several that need firmware patches to correct small issues.
"Playstation 5 - backwards compatibility...it's not good news...it's great news!"
Almost got me there too
He got me there too I cant lie!
Sound like the devs are just covering their arses with these warnings.
Most likely. These games are gonna run fine and if they don't for whatever reason, this warning is there for those people.
GoingGreninja yeah, probably. there is after all the risk of compatibility. different hardware could throw over your optimization. that's why i think sony themselves didn't sound too confident at times, rather talking about either "top 100 games" or "some games might not work" just as a warning in case. but seriously a lot of warnings we saw in games since years feel more mandatory "in case" to save them from possible lawsuits or other stuff.
@@Gendor64 Agreed.
Sounds like the PS4 games getting the warning are just one's that weren't test, so it is more of a general disclaimer just in case things don't work well.
@Noctua Wright Pretty much what I am saying
@Noctua Wright ACS has glitches on PS5 from the PushSquare BC test. But it runs fine for the most part.
@@Jdogg4089 Interesting. Going to hit that video up. Thanks for the info!
Just Cause 3 is actually playable now, played it quite a bit this weekend & it’s like an entirely different game when the camera isn’t hitching every turn & the FPS dropping during every battle, would love to see it unlocked for 60fps.
Cant wait for my xbsx but so glad to see PlayStation have put the work in on backwards compatibility.
Finally I can play Knack! I waited two generations for this.
🤣🤣 lol..yeah me too..only took 7 years for Sony to get it right.
😂😂😂👍👍👍👏👏👏
1 year later its great to see that most games on my wish list got the 60fps treatment ON PS5, especially horizon zero dawn, uncharted 4 & lost legacy.
It would be fantastic if Sony went the extra mile & offered ps5 owners a similar fps boost mode, like Microsoft has with the series X.
It's a great bonus for XSX owners as the list of fps boosted games is impressive. Being able to play so many older games with a 60/120 fps boost is nice as I own a series X too. Well done Microsoft! 💯❤😁👍🙏
I agree, I so wish I could play Prey (2017) at 60fps on PS5, but that's only available on consoles on the Series X/S with FPS boost. I can't go back to 30fps but Prey is one of my favorite games of all time
Didn't they charged uncharted 4 and lost legacy for the 60fps in the legacy of thieves collection?
@@Eddycut they charged for UC4 and Lost Legacy as a combined package for new gen. That entails a lot more than just bumping the framerate up to 60
@@apictureoffunction so do the PS4 versions run at 60fps on PS5?
@@Eddycut no, not that I'm aware of anyways. They also don't support 4k, 120fps, or utilize fast loading using the SSD. A 60fps update and a full PS4 to PS5 conversion are two different beasts, there's entirely different storage APIs and vastly better chipsets to be developed for on new gen, among other things
If you see that warning, I'm sure it just means Sony hasn't fully tested that game yet.
No it means wait for a patch if I remember correctly.
@@one_up907 Games don't need patches for BC
@@AndyGilleand Yes, if you want faster loading, higher framerate or higher resolution. Unpatched bc games will run exactly as the PS4/PS4Pro ran them.
@@Blintedhaa No they do not need patches to run faster. Most will run faster unpatched. Games that haven't been fully tested, or games where developers have specifically flagged that the game needs to run no faster than PS4 will be like that. The vast majority of BC games will be able to take advantage of the faster hardware in some sense, even if it's just faster load times and more consistent frame rate, even if there's a 30fps cap.

I'm looking forward to getting a PS5 and I'm hoping to pick one up at the end of December/beginning of January. One of my reasons for getting one was that I thought of upgrading from my PS4 to a PS4 pro but with the new PlayStation console coming out soon, it made more sense to get a PS5 instead. It's just a shame that the local backwards compatability doesn't extend to OG PlayStation, PS2 and PS3 games. In the meantime I'll look forward to playing games on my Xbox Series X when it arrives on Tuesday.
On the gamexplain review, you can see that there is a ps3 section on the psn store. So, it looks like the system is getting them at some point. it could just be for psnow too.
ps and ps2 maybe could have been done but ps3, don't think so, even on pc emulating an ps3 is very hard.

People should keep in mind that Ps5 hitting that 60 fps, while ps4 pro gets only about 40 in some games is cool and all, but 60 fps is the limit. If the framerate would have been unlocked it could be like 70-80 fps or higher. Really hope to see some patches for ps4 games to utilize full power of Ps5 in the near future.
it's better to have 60 locked than 70-90 unlocked

You're missing out on game of the decade
SX and PS5 owner here. I'm in absolute bliss right now. I really hope these 30fps games get an unlock.
Not seeing it. With games like FF15 they've moved on to FF16. If the game has no major bugs they have no reason to waste the effort. It's not like they are gonna get that many more sales as they are already years old. Plus it takes away from development of their new games which devs don't want to do.
This is the argument i've been waiting for. Now i'm DEFINITELY getting a ps5 to enjoy the backlog i still have on my ps4 account in GLORIOUS 60FPS !
I have a huge backlog. This will be great! 🤗🤗
True likewise😊

I just got the plat for Days Gone,now ill just wait to play new game plus on the ps5 in 60fps
Guys I'm curious to know if Final Fantasy VII Remake is also running at 60 FPS on PS5?
That would be awesome. Anyone got the info? Thanks.
Is it uncapped on PS4?
Ik they released a patch for it a few weeks ago so maybe 60fps
Any game that has uncapped fps on ps4 or pro will run at 60fps. Any game that has dynamic res will run at its maximum res. As ff7r does have a 30fps cap it wont run beyond that. The dynamic 1620p that pro had for the resolution wont ever drop from that anymore however.
FF7R is capped at 30. I doubt we will see that change until the PC release.
we don't know how many game to get ps5 free upgrade.... best just wait for pc since it is unreal so it should be easier to run on pc...
Imagine what we could see here if Sony backwards compatible ps3 to ps5 Native.. and no streaming.. metal gear solid 4 in 4k 60fps.. or MotorStorm trilogy.. we could Play buzz on ps5..
Now all we need is, Patches to unlock the frame rate and resolution.
because ps5 obviously runs at ps4 pro legacy mode, this means it will run how the ps4 pro actually ran
example: ps5 can technically play hitman at Dynamic 4k 60 but ps4 pro ran at 1440p, so this means ps5 gonna run at 1440p, so game developers need a patch to unlock the code.
It's not 4K 60fps. It's 1800p checkerboarded. They said so in the video for Hitman 2. Hitman 3 will run better for PS5 as Sony doesn't natively support backwards compatible games like the Xbox does, it's a pseudo emulation. Not true emulation as it is running on hardware but not as a pure substitute like the Xbox. It's why Sony expects bugs in some games while Microsoft seems to claim zero. Hitman 2 was running as emulating PS4 so like emulators on PC you can force up performance but you are still limited by the headroom for said emulation. Why BotW, a game that should easily hit 4K 60fps on GTX 1060 barely runs 30fps. There is a hit from doing such but it is easier to program.
I think Microsoft went the other way as they intend the Xbox to be constantly replace. Not like how we had the One X, but every 3 years we just get a new Xbox similar to every 2 years PC users get new GPUs and CPUs. It would make sense then as they need to carry those games for the long run while Sony is still going be the normal "generation" system. Obviously Microsoft won't tell us that yet but it is something to watch. Plus it does match their current stance on buying their systems.
PS5 doesn't run anything at 1440p. The drivers don't support it natively, only 1080p and 4K.
@@MihovilMandic It ran Demon's Souls at native 1440p back during the first gameplay trailer. DF said it themselves at 2:36 on there video detailing it.
Drivers can be updated
@@icaruswindrune7116 it's likely upscaled 1080p, because Sony officially stated the console only renders at 1080p, 4k and potentially 8k where it can. No API support for rendering 1440p
You had me at the Knack comparison. Amazing.
Here comes the money!
Just cause 3 with 20fps, remember how laggy that was.
Not on pc atleast
unplayable garbage. 60FPS SOLID or go home in 2020.
@Z390 Let me approach this from another angle, I won't play a game at 1440p or 4k 'IF' it means DROPPING BELOW 60FPS.
In 2020 1440p SOLID 60FPS should be BASIC PERFOMANCE. 1080p/60 should have been BASIC STANDARD in 2010 - A DECADE AGO
This half assed crap we got on X1X with 60FPS which was basically 40-50FPS 70% of the time with the other 30% at best holding actualy 60 was enough to make me quit most games until HOPEFULLY this gen.
The other option is offer us choice, SOLID 60FPS or higher res, as long as we get to choose, I can handle it.
Absolutely amazing game, and that frames drops was making the game feels better to me 👌
Interesting, so the PS5 actually performs better in the majority of these selected tests due to the lower target resolutions on the PS4 Pro version and the use of checkerboarding. Hopefully, Microsoft look into games like Sekiro and adjust the resolution accordingly to smooth out those dips.
Going forward into next gen, games need to utilise dynamic resolution scaling as much as possible. The 60fps target is more important than slight dips in resolution during expensive scenes.
No worries, fsr 3 is on the way so it will help a lot for 60 fps

Microsoft spent more time on there BC but they really had no choice but to due to the lack of exclusive titles
@@Bledsoe195 yeah I get that. But still most of the times microsoft doesn't get praised that much. Even for things that they have better than PS. Including BC and Game pass.
@@Bledsoe195 we have more games coming then you
Because the code was made to run in the original xOne and xOne X. One X is more powerful than Ps4 pro, that's why the games in oldgen had better resolution, and of course, this affects backwards compatibility
Friendship ended with 30fps, now 60fps is my best friend!
Until more next gen games come out that push the hardware even further and target 30 fps :(

Sony don't talk that much. They barely respond to rumors, even when they are persistent. They just take actions to answer. Sony like more to surprise. I don't know if it's a Japanese way of doing things.
Anyway, it is what it is.

Jéosbé Avadra well still the weaker console
@@krys8494 aaaaaand? Still will have the better exclusives. You know, the main reason you buy a specific console. TO PLAY THE GAMES.
@@krys8494 Tf was the point of saying that. This ___ is better than ___ shit is sad. They both play games fine, the end.
@@krys8494 PS5 being weaker than the XSX is not a news, unless you just discover internet or TH-cam. What is a news though is that it's surprising DF because even them, they were expecting it to be way more outperformed by the XSX, but at the end of the day, the gap is almost not perceptible.
BTW, if u buy consoles because of power, good for you, go buy XSX only. But if you buy consoles because of games, you can buy both XSX and PS5. Oh yes, you can get get both consoles. But I guess, some people don't know that. Or maybe they can't afford both. So the only way to compensate their frustration is to shit on the console they are unable to get.
@@krys8494 actually the Backwards compatible games are running better on the PS5 than the same game on Xbox Séries X and you know why?! I guess you don't but I tell you.... They run better because contrary to Xbox Séries X that runs in Windows api the PS5 run games using all the Power of the PS5 to the Metal! The API is not bottlenecking the PS5!And that's also the reason you see developers expressing how easy the PS5 is to develop in context to the Séries X.
I would really love to see how the Xbox Series S performs! I have a bad feeling it isn't performing well and they're not allowing anyone to speak about it
They've already made a video about that a while ago. Look it up on their channel.
Oh, sorry, I just noticed you were referring to the S, not X. My bad.
I’m a massive Xbox fanboy and I am very impressed by this video. I am also very curious to see how Sony leverages that SSD speed advantage in the future. I am also funny enough a massive fan of knack, ever since I watched Mark at classic game rooms review of it many years ago. I am also very impressed with the games that have been shown so far for the PS5. Just like Nintendo has shown that in reality it’s the games that make the difference. I don’t get that fun kid like feeling when I watch the game reveals that have been done so far for the Xbox Series X. I’m still going to buy one for the back compat but the games are really not their yet. It’s going to take a game like fable or halo to really make me happy again with Microsoft. Another fantastic video guys! Who knew that back compat would become so impressive on the PS5 even possibly outdoing the Xbox versions. It’s a wonderful new world!

This makes me very happy. I care alot about backwards compatibility. I love the fact i can play some of my fav games with far better performance. Going from 30 to 60fps totally changes the feel of games, so im very excited to revisit my favorites
Yes better frame rate bu not higher resolution... That's sad
Several of games i care about had a 4k mode, but it was locked at 30 or had dynamic resolution to keep 60 fps. So this will lock at the highest resolution or give 4k 60. Not sure how much higher you want to go besides 8k lol

@@pixelknight163
The thing is they are talking like it's amazing news. It shouldn't even be news. Ever since consoles switched over to the x86 architecture, compatibility within the same architecture is basically guaranteed. Consoles are even more similar to gaming PCs. They just got a CPU/GPU upgrade. Ofc games are still going to work.
Actually surprisingly good news would be backwards compatibility with older architectures. Such as it is with the X/S.
Clearly older gen PS owners are not the target demographic. I skipped the ps4, I'll skip the PS5 as well. Now I'll save money and buy a disck drive just to rip my ps2/3 library. 🙃
Count me as one of the people who actually likes Knack, especially the sequel. Locked 60 in the resolution mode is nice to hear. I remember now that Knack 2 has a toggle for uncapping the framerate. THAT's what more games needed.
Series X runs at native 4k while ps4 pro uses checkerboard ...
well yeah one x was stronger than ps4 pro and ps5 and series x base their BC to these 2 consoles, and each have their advantage but ultimately true next gen games should both run fine at native res and stable framerate
Ps4 games that were 1080p and 900p on xbox one will be better on ps5, there's swings and roundabouts in bc games, meaning better performance on ps5 but lower res, or higher res and better performance.
Bc is great on both.
Next gen games is where its at and ps5 is looking amazing there.
