I bought a PS4 to play Bloodborne because the aesthetics of that game absolutely gripped me to my core. I have put over 500 hours in Bloodborne and probably less than 40 into every other FROM game (30 of that is Sekiro).

A shameful post. DeS, DS3, and Sekiro are all top tier experiences. DS1 and DS2 have a lot going for them as well.


Those first 3 all have so much BB DNA in them, for various reasons.

I took some measurements and the PS5 can fit in my entertainment center horizontally but only with about an inch of room on each side. Do I need to start worrying about ventilation with that little space left?

Putting any console in an enclosed space of an entertainment center ensures early console death.

I don't know that that's true. I keep my PS4 and my boyfriends Xbox whatever in our entertainment stand and we haven't had any issues at all. Now ours doesn't have doors, so everything in the front is completely open, but they're enclosed on the over 5 sides and it's been fine. Of course, the dang PS5 it slightly too big to fit comfortably in the dang thing, so I get to stand it on the box of cables I have next to the stand so that's moot now anyway.

I'm really wondering how "upgraded" (or whatever official terminology they're using) PS4 games are going to look on the PS5, compared to my PC with an Nvidia 1660. For example, Borderlands 3 is locked at 30 on the PS4 but can go to 60 or beyond on my PC, and with HDR, but will the upgraded version of PS4 Borderlands 3 look like that on the PS5?

BL3 will probably hit a solid 60 on PS5, after a few patches the Pro gets pretty close to that in performance mode most of the time.

I’m kinda excited to try Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro in November myself. Uncapped framerates should have a chance to really shine.

For BL3 specifically it shouldn't be a problem because the PS4 Pro version has an uncapped (or 60fps, idk) option.

The 30fps "resolution" mode is vomit inducing to me. Not because I'm a snob, but cause they hosed up something with the lag/frame pacing.

This is where I get all confused about the terminology. For PS4 games to run on the PS5, they have to get patched in one way or another, right? Is that patch going to be called an "upgrade", or something else?

No, PS5 should be backwards compatible for most games out of the box. Some games will get patches for optimizations, but that's not what I meant with the upgrade. It's a new PS5 version. An enhanced port, except it's free if you have the PS4 version.

What was that discussion about disk-based games not working out at the box about then? I thought they were saying that an unadorned PS4 game wouldn't run on the PS5, and that it had to connect to the internet and download something.

What I’ve always read is you should allow for 4in of space on either side, of which the PS5 is the first console too big for me to even do that. I’ve never had a console die on me. Even my 360 still works.

It was from some description on their Japanese website. It seemed to say that only the download versions of PS4 games would run on the PS5, and then somebody contacted Sony about it and the response was muddled. it was about a week ago when I heard about it, I'll look for more information.

Okay yeah, that was just a miscommunication and Sony apologized and corrected it a few days ago.
