The fixes could definitely be applied via patch, I just don't think there's enough financial incentive to do it. A PC / PS5 re-release a la Scholar of the First Sin would sell really well, though. Market it as a 4K / 60FPS game, include the DLC, list it for $40, and watch the money roll in.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:Any PS4 game that runs on PS5 should run with increase framerate and resolution at no additional cost. I agree 100%, but BB has a ton of gameplay-related stuff tied to frame rate, and it's going to require a significant amount of work to get it running at 60fps without any bugs. It's unlikely anyone is going to do this work unless they can get some money out of it. If a PC version is indeed in the works, I think it'd make the most sense to apply the same upgrades that the PC gets to a PS5 version. Include the DLC and sell it for $40. If you already own the PS4 version, offering an upgrade to the PS5 version for cheaper would be cool, and not unheard of. il serpente cosmico fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Jun 7, 2020 |

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.

Nail Rat posted:They might not even be able to make all games work out of the box legally. They probably only could do games where they own the IP without paying publishers. 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.

The Question IRL posted:Interesting. Wow, I did remember that right. Sony could absolutely put dedicated hardware in the unit to run PS3, PS2, and PS1 games. The problem is that this will increase its cost, which almost certainly isn't worth it. There aren't any fabs currently producing any of that hardware, so you'd have to consider how much it would cost to get production up and running on a die-shrunk cell processor, dealing with its heat output, etc. The goal would be to find some addition usage for it on the mainboard, but then you're looking at increasing engineering costs and potentially making the system more of a pain to develop for. Software emulation makes a lot more sense, considering the power of the system. il serpente cosmico fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Jun 9, 2020 |

The Question IRL posted:So is Software Emulation or Hardware Emulation better/ more reliable? They both have their benefits and drawbacks. Ultimately, good software emulation can reproduce games with 100% accuracy (or get you so close that only digital foundry will be able to tell the difference), and they also give you more flexibility with features like increasing the output resolution, supporting save states, speeding up games (such as JRPGs where you just want to blast through the random encounters), allowing different input options, etc. It requires a lot of development, you need more system overhead, and bugs are often found in a per-game basis. Hardware emulation, like Sony's solution in the PS2, has the benefit of running a vast majority of a system's library at 100% accuracy with much less software development. Nintendo has also used Hardware emulation in some interesting ways. You might remember when Nintendo gave away certain GBA games to early adopters of the 3DS, since the system launch ended up being such a poo poo show. These games weren't made widely available. When you boot them up, the system essentially turns itself into a GBA - the processor down-clocks and replicates the functionality of the GBA. You lose all of the functionality of Nintendo's other Virtual Console games (things like save states and wireless multiplayer), because the system is just functioning as an exact replica of the GBA. I also believe you need to reset the console to return to the home screen, since the GBA obviously doesn't have the functionality to do that. It's kind of lovely that Nintendo didn't make the GBA library available for everyone with a 3DS - there are a lot of GBA gems. You can inject GBA games into the console with custom firmware, though. A fun development in emulation is the FPGA scene, where programmable transistor gate arrays are programmed to replicate different pieces of hardware and run games in a native environment, despite the hardware itself being very different than the original systems'. I don't think Sony would be able to hit anywhere close to 100% backwards compatibility on PS3 games out of the game without hardware emulation. If they are going to aim for PS3 back compat, they will probably use Microsoft's approach and get different games running through emulation over time. The poster who mentioned the PS5's sound chip being of similar design to the cell processor is definitely interesting, though. Hopefully they'll lay out some of their plans soon.

I just had a bad thought. What if Sony reveals that PS4 games will run natively on PS5, and PS1-3 libraries will all be playable through PS Now 2.0, and that's what we get for back compat?

I would think HZD2 would be ready to show at this point. It's been over three years since the release of the first game, and AAA games are usually on about a 4 year cycle these days. I guess The Frozen Wilds came out November 2017, so if they didn't start production in earnest until that was finished, it may still be pretty early for the sequel.

It'd probably make the most sense for them to hold off a bit on the enhanced editions. The install base on the new consoles is going to be small at first, and I suspect at release the game is going to be coming in very hot and will need further optimization and bug fixes. They can continue to optimize the PC version, and use the improvements there to release an enhanced edition on PS5 and X series once the user bases are a bit bigger.univbee posted:So it seems the PS4 version will run on PS5, but a proper PS5 version will be later.

Mira posted:wait didn't bluepoint say they were revealing two games? I don't think they said anything. Rumor was that they were working on a Bloodborne remaster and DeS remake, both of which would be revealed at the event. Given the "leak" also said the press event would end with the DeS remake, I think it's safe to safe the rumor was BS. The Demon's Souls remake has been rumored for ages now (with some decent supporting evidence).

Fractured more in Demon's Would may resemble a proposed hardcore mode that was cut from the original game. It may be a permadeath mode, where if you did in Soul form you lose (or lose significant progress). The upshot is that touching your bloodstain would revive you to human form. This is all speculation at the moment. The game will also have a performance mode and a fidelity mode, much like SotC

I remember when Bluepoint did the SotC remaster for PS3 and people complained that the higher frame rate ruined the cinematic quality of the original. There will be a subset of people who will not be happy no matter what they do. The good news for that subset is that they'll always have the original game to go back to.

I decided to replace my Pro's internal HDD with a solid state drive. Thus far, I've only really tested it with the FF7 remake, which I'm currently playing through (I'm at chapter 14). Some observations: Load times are reduced noticably, but I didn't time how long will it took before and after. They aren't even close to outright eliminated, and the PS4 clearly doesn't see the same benefit a modern PC would. The more interesting effects happen in-game, though. The solid state drive has completely eliminated that annoying lag between opening your map and having the elements load in. Likewise, it has completely eliminated the time it takes between interacting with an NPC and their conversation loading in. The texture pop-in is reduced significantly, but I still see it from time to time. The quality of life improvements with the map and NPC interactions are very nice, and they were not things that I was expecting the upgrade to fix.
