@thefourfoldroot I have a 2.1 cable (the one that came with PS5) and I have to disable HDR to get 120hz on Warzone (120 works fine on Fortnight or Cold War). I have a HDMI 2.0b TV which does support 120 but PS5 games know to auto drop HDR to YUV instead of full RGB so might be that PS4 games don’t know or can’t do this.
@pip_muzz Get what you’re saying but if you allowed games to be played from external you would be losing all the benefits of allowing developers to create game worlds based on SSD like Ratchet & Clank.
This is a non-issue. Hell in 20 years you will be able to emulate PS4 games on a budget PC. Plus the PS4 is already hacked so imagine in 20 years you will be able to boot anything from an offline PS4 with a home made update.
@kyleforrester87 ok, how old are you because you really don’t know what you’re talking about. Let’s use your analogy. Say you have a bank vault. It’s filled with gold coins. You can’t fit anymore in. You have $1 million. The bank is going to change those coins into $100 bills. So you STILL have $1 million in cash but now have half of your vault space available to add more money into because the bills take up less space than the coins.
@get2sammyb they specifically said PS5 will receive a next gen patch day 1 so it won’t be running in game boost / back compat mode. It will take advantage of PS5. However there will still be a full next gen patch / version released later that fully uses the new hardware.
@FlawlessG Yea true. My TV is hard wired as well. I find that one the PS4 HDR comes on for everything and also game mode is on which I don’t want for viewing TV.
@Zuljaras surely you don’t need to wait for reviews. The launch PS1/2/3 and 4 were fine. I don’t know how people can resist not getting the next gen straight away. Telling yourself there’ll be bugs or problems is just negative and I don’t have time for that kinda talk lol
The article says they are sitting “in the exact same positions” as in the game. They’re not. When Ellie is playing/singing Dina is NOT sat cross legged.
@Ryall that’s what I said! You won’t have to worry about which drive will fit and which will be compatible because Sony will issue a list of approved drives...
@TheBuzz Yes I’m sure the exact reason is that developers “can’t be arsed to finish the game”. Do you even realise how much these guys have to crunch just to get the game done by the deadline.
@kyleforrester87 really! I had a Full HD TV when I had a PS3. I get your point but I don’t see them coming to market and being affordable for a long time (like 3-5 years).

Re: Former PS Plus Game Sniper Elite 4 Receives Free PS5 Update
Surely if this is an update to the PS4 version then it’s not a native PS5 app??
Re: PS Plus Version of Greedfall Won't Upgrade to PS5 Version for Free
Greedfall was on PS Now last time I checked but I’d be surprised if that had a free upgrade.
Re: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart's Pixelizer HD Plays a Funky Melody with PS5 Pad's Haptics
My Pixeliser doesn’t have a charge mode. Does it unlock later when you level up the weapon?

Re: Play At Home Game Subnautica Can Be Upgraded to PS5 Version for Free Starting Today
@Bamila Ah right, that probably doesn’t include the patches etc. My installed PS4 Subnautica shows at 12GB.
Re: Play At Home Game Subnautica Can Be Upgraded to PS5 Version for Free Starting Today
@Bamila How was your PS4 Subnautica only 4GB, mine was 12GB. PS5 version is 3.8GB though.
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Download Size Is Massive on PS5, PS4
Ah fair enough. Thought you knew something I didn’t lol
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Download Size Is Massive on PS5, PS4
@Pditty1980 what does 3 have to do with digital vs physical edition?
Re: PS5 Firmware Update: All the Features You May Not Know About
Might also be worth mentioning that on some TVs and monitors 120fps was restricted to 1080p. 120 now works in 4K.
Re: Hands On: PS5's External Storage Feature Offers Speedy Solution to Launch Fears
@pip_muzz Get what you’re saying but if you allowed games to be played from external you would be losing all the benefits of allowing developers to create game worlds based on SSD like Ratchet & Clank.
Re: PS5 Firmware Update 21.01-03.00.00.38 Is Available to Download Now
YES! 4K 120fps now works on Samsung TVs. Previously 120fps dropped to 1080p.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Yuffie DLC Officially Titled Episode INTERmission
So do you need to start a new game or can you play the DLC stand-alone from main menu or from a completed save file?
Re: PS5 Console Update Adds External Storage Support for PS5 Games, Social Features, and More Tomorrow
Hopefully this will also include the promised update to fix the 120fps/1080p issue on some Samsung TVs.
Re: PS4 Clock Battery Problem Proven, But Don't Panic Right Now
This is a non-issue. Hell in 20 years you will be able to emulate PS4 games on a budget PC. Plus the PS4 is already hacked so imagine in 20 years you will be able to boot anything from an offline PS4 with a home made update.

@get2sammyb haha just yanking ya chain. Great article though.
Re: Soapbox: I Don't Think Sony's Obsession with PS5 Blockbusters Aligns with Reality
How is MLB The Show 21 a PS5 exclusive when it’s on Gamepass?
Re: Disco Elysium Patch 1.3 Out Now on PS5, PS4 and Fixes Bugs, Soft Locks
Are saves in this game cross compatible. Like can I start on PS5 then continue on PS4 then go back to 5 etc?
Re: Call of Duty: Warzone Finally Getting an Install Size Reduction
@kyleforrester87 Yes. Yes I am. Congratulations.

Re: Call of Duty: Warzone Finally Getting an Install Size Reduction
@kyleforrester87 they are just making the game files smaller with compression or better optimisation. We aren’t losing anything.
Re: Call of Duty: Warzone Finally Getting an Install Size Reduction
@kyleforrester87 the hell you talking about
Re: Call of Duty: Warzone Gets a Third High Resolution Texture Pack
@Lightning13 Can you not just use a USB drive for War Zone on PS5 seeing as it’s a PS4 game?
Re: Metro Exodus PS5 Version Runs at 4K 60FPS, DualSense Support Included
Last time I checked Exodus was on PS Now so hopefully the PS5 upgrade works with that version too.

@Voltan I’m in U.K. and got it last night.
Re: PS5 vs PS4 Pro Fan Noise Video Eloquently Makes Its Point
What’s the point of these videos. A brand new Pro would be silent. Let’s make these videos after the PS5 has operated in 3 years worth of dust.
Re: Demon's Souls PS5 vs PS3 Gameplay Comparison Shows Great Upgrade
Are they just not reporting that Far Cry 6 has been delayed?
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Delay Is Due to Current-Gen Consoles After All
@Medic_Alert Ah right yea, they must just be unlocking the frame rates or something then so that next gen can get to 60fps.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Delay Is Due to Current-Gen Consoles After All
@Medic_Alert That is wrong. CDPR have said PS5 and Series X will get a basic next gen patch day 1 so they will not be running in back compat mode.

Re: Battle Royale Shooter PUBG Will Run at Up to 60FPS on PS5
There’s literally no change for PS5 other than faster loading due to PS5 SSD and even that could be bottlenecked due to PS4 code.
Re: Sony Confirms PS5 Media Apps, Explains Dedicated Entertainment Space
@FlawlessG Yea true. My TV is hard wired as well. I find that one the PS4 HDR comes on for everything and also game mode is on which I don’t want for viewing TV.
Re: Sony Confirms PS5 Media Apps, Explains Dedicated Entertainment Space
@thedevilsjester Yea I guess so. I have a Samsung Q90R which has great app support but guess not everyone has a high end TV at hand.
Re: Sony Confirms PS5 Media Apps, Explains Dedicated Entertainment Space
Not sure why people would use these over their native TV smart apps?
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Creative Director Explains Differences Between PS5 and PS4 Versions
@Zuljaras surely you don’t need to wait for reviews. The launch PS1/2/3 and 4 were fine. I don’t know how people can resist not getting the next gen straight away. Telling yourself there’ll be bugs or problems is just negative and I don’t have time for that kinda talk lol
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Creative Director Explains Differences Between PS5 and PS4 Versions
@Zuljaras ***** waiting 2-3 years for a better model. I’ll buy it now and then buy the new model in 2-3 years. Life is to short for that *****.

Re: Gran Turismo Trademarks Filed on Original Date of PS5 Event
@munkondi Are you mad lol. How about higher quality textures, 4K 120fps and ray tracing for a start.
Re: PS5 Comes with 825GB of Internal Storage on SSD
@Ryall that’s what I said! You won’t have to worry about which drive will fit and which will be compatible because Sony will issue a list of approved drives...
Re: PS5 Comes with 825GB of Internal Storage on SSD
@Ryall Cerny already said they will test and recommend particular drives to get so this won’t even happen.
Re: DOOM Eternal Comes Packing a Day One Patch on PS4
