More PS5 stuff happening now, Bungie confirmed on their stream thing that Destiny 2 is PS5 bound at 60 FPS, free account transfer (ala PS3->PS4 Destiny 1's) with inter-generational crossplay.

exquisite tea posted:As much as I would like to see Horizon 2 sooner than later if it were anything close to launch-ready then it would be Sony's best-kept production secret to date. Their usual MO is to go approximately 24 years between the reveal trailer and release. Bloodborne was announced like 7 or 8 months before release.

How's Battlefield V now after all the patches? I always liked the battlefield games for vehicles being the great equalizer for my poor shooting skills.

I revisited it 2 weeks ago, hoping it might be salvageable after all the content and updates... Played 30 min, 2 maps, with new us/japan content. ... .. Uninstalled.

BF5 is just not very fun at it's core. I don't think it's salvageable. That series needs to take a serious look at what made it fun in the first place and go back to the drawing board.

Bungie just livestreamed their new content plan for the next few years and two of their announcments were: A) Inter-generational Crossplay, meaning a PS3 D2 player and a PS4 D2 player and a PS5 D2 player can all play together. B) All paid D2 content is now transferred freely between consoles. So if you have paid D2 content on your PS4, it will all just be there on your PS5 if/when you upgrade for free. Bungie really trying to stop hemorrhaging players and clean up the currently lovely game experience. They've also announced new content for the next 3 years and quashed any rumors of D3 in the meantime. Also they released a new dungeon that unlocks today at 5 PM PST!

Squad and Hell Let Loose are pretty good alternatives to bfv but are only on steam. It's not the same though. I miss bf2-bf3 days a lot

That series needs to take a serious look at what made it fun in the first place and go back to the drawing board. I've played nearly every battlefield game. Hundreds of hours each. Battlefield v is the only game in the series that I couldn't even break 100 hours. There is something fundamentally wrong with the game. Maps aren't as good as they could be, game modes are slightly worse, ttk is weird, and so on. It's all just a slight change but together it just is off-putting.

Agreed. There is just something so off about the balance that I can't put my finger on. I can usually find my footing in a role in BF and get relatively good at it, but I felt like I was just terrible at it even after a few dozen hours. Not in a way that made me want to improve though. It just made me ultimately not want to play and eventually just uninstall it. It's a shame because it looks absolutely stunning and the destruction is pretty incredible.

I agree it has problems in nearly every mechanic. What really sticks out to me, and similar to cod ww2... it doesnt feel like ww2 at all, you're putting red dot sights and poo poo on ww2 guns that are just reskinned mw2 weapons and it feels horrible. Edit: which is why i recommend HLL because most players are running around with faction appropriate bolt action rifles or m1 garands. the guy carrying the rocky launcher is a dedicated class again etc ethanol fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Jun 9, 2020 |

It's responsive, the ttk is appropriate for most things, matches are quick. Mindless yes, but still gets dopamine running better than BFV does. Don't forget that they've tried to make big changes to BFV like three times now. It just can't be fixed easily, they're better off just tossing it all out and rebuilding from the ground up.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who can't quite place their finger on why BFV isn't a good BF. It's kinda like how I can't explain why Bad Company 2 is such a great game but it just is. Funny thing, Battlefield games.

FlamingLiberal posted:Isn’t the whole PS3 BC issue that those games were made to run with the CELL processor and don’t emulate well without one? PC emulation for PS3 has come a long way. Sony understands the architecture better than anyone else, and if they put in the time and effort, they could get the games running well on PS5. If they do target PS3 back compatability, I'd be really surprised if all or most games work out of the box right off the bat. It'd probably be easier to target games that don't make extensive use of the SPE cores.

I wonder if they could stick a CELL processor in as a secondary processor like the WiiU and Wii did for backwards compatibility. Also the "not all PS4 games are backwards compatible" statement had a clarification shortly after it iirc; most games SHOULD work, the edge case is some games apparently run at the cpu clock speed instead of a hardcoded speed. Which gets REAL fun on a faster processor...

veni veni veni posted:Bloodborne was announced like 7 or 8 months before release. Just for fun I looked at the biggest PS4 exclusives for this generation and calculated the length of time in between their worldwide announcement and retail release. Bloodborne (06/09/2014 - 03/24/2015) - 9 months Uncharted 4 (06/09/2014 - 05/10/2015) - 11 months Horizon Zero Dawn (06/15/2015 - 02/28/2017) - 21 months God of War (06/13/2016 - 04/20/2018) - 22 months Spider-Man (06/13/2016 - 09/07/2018) - 27 months Death Stranding (06/13/2016 - 11/09/2019) - 41 months The Last of Us Pt. 2 (12/03/2016 - 06/19/2020) - 42 months(!) Ghost of Tsushima (10/30/2017 - 07/17/2020) - 32 months The average:A little over 2 years, becoming increasingly more and more ridiculous as this console generation has gone on.

Like I'm not seeing a reason Sony couldn't sell you a PS2 tomorrow (other than no one would buy it) that let you play PS2 games you already owned. if you're talking about them reselling games digitally on the store, then sure, but that's not really BC.

I don't know the ins and outs of this, but I think the main issue that Microsoft has run into with 360 games on the Bone is that they aren't simply running the native code. They are doing some light port work to get the games working on the newer platform, which means they need to get all the rights holders onboard to make it happen. This isn't a problem 90% of the time since the original publisher doesn't have to do any work on it, but sometimes things can get caught in limbo. If PS5 is just running PS3 game code without modifying it, then I don't think they'd run into this problem, but I'm not positive. Obviously things are more complicated these days than they were when the PS3 was running PS2 and PS1 discs when you consider most people have extensive libraries tied to their accounts, the game all have patches and DLC, music rights can get tricky, etc.

I remember back in the day, the rumour why the PS2 perfectly emulated the PS1 was because they just put a chip inside the PS2 that was the processor for a PS1. So that your PS2 contained a tiny PS1 architecture inside it. Typing it out and looking at this thread, this was probably all bollocks, but I believed it back in the day because I didn’t know any better. But could they do that with the PS5? Like was it in any way feasible?

That's the same way PS3 played PS2 games, until it got removed in new models to reduce hardware production cost. PS5 doesn't need to include dedicated hardware for PS4 games because it has the same general architecture, and a GPU with a PS4 compatibility mode.

Incidentally, there's a pretty neat article here about the PS2's BC with notes from the guy at Sony who was tasked with making it happen: https://medium.com/@freelansations/the-story-of-the-ps2s-backwards-compatibility-from-the-engineer-who-built-it-ec39cf5a0353 among other things, apparently in the early stages, when you completed a lap on Ridge Racer, the screen turned pink morallyobjected fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Jun 9, 2020 |

So, could Sony not put the same or a more advanced chip for the PS1 and or PS2 into the PS5? Like they couldn’t be that big, right?
