Because someone sued them over Killzone Shadow Fall's resolution. So language ever since has always been "targeting" or "up to", regardless of whether it's locked.

Days Gone PS5 will be up 60FPS w/ Dynamic 4K
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
Oh wow, this would actually make a huge difference and make the game a lot more enjoyable. Would be fun to fight the biggest hordes in the game at 60fps!
Nice. This was a game I was considering playing on the PS+ collection. Given that it's getting an upgrade, I'll be much more likely to play it.
Hmm, since this is being patched, so that the frame rate can be unlocked to 60 fps, maybe there is still hope for Bloodborne???
Good fucking stuff
The 'smaller' Sony studios really putting in the work for this, damn. Days Gone looked amazing already so I'd honestly be perfectly fine with giving this a play.
Here's hoping Naughty Dog follows suit instead of going the way of Insomniac or Santa Monica.

Yup.
I guess they moved to the dynamic resolution + temporal upsampling from UE.
Should look very nice.
In terms of big first-parties it's 2-for-2 when it comes to substantial non-paid updates.
Sucker Punch - 60fps update for Ghost of Tshushima
Bend Studios - 60fps 4K update for Days Gone
Sony Santa Monica - No improvements on God of War outside of Boost Mode
Insomniac - Paid Remaster without cross-save
So it's not any form of guarantee. Since it never even got a PS4 Pro patch, and came out ages ago now, I really wouldn't hold out any hope.
God of War isn't getting a PS5 patch: it's just getting the bare minimum improvements that come automatically with PS5's boost mode.
Thanks for the insight. Wasn't aware that it's been 2 for 2 so far. Well, here's hoping! :)
ya, im wondering if this a PS5 game or just our PS4 game running in back compat with unlocked framerate and resolution
God of War is unchanged. It already had an unlocked frame rate. It's possible they patched that mode to have a higher resolution as well, but they didn't say so, so I think they didn't.
Can't wait to hear those sweet atmospherics from the tempest engine:
Me: "I'll just discreetly sneak past this enormous horde of zombies."
Deacon: " ...ok, nice and quiet does i.....FUCK YOU COPE YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"

Sony agrees to settlement in Killzone: Shadow Fall lawsuit
Spoilers: The settlement is secret Sony, Guerrilla, and Killzone are no strangers to controversies about graphics, after their E3 trailer...

yup lol. Fucking hell. Lol
It's the latter. PS5 games are seperate SKUs that don't automatically transfer saves over from their PS4 counterparts. This is a patch for the PS4 version of the game that makes the same SKU run differently on PS5.
Bloodbourne wasn't done by a first party studio though, only reason I can see why this hasn't got patched to get a fps/res boost.
Nice,
Now this is what I like to see. I hope we see more updates like this for 1st party PS4 games on PS5. I might have to check this out down the line.

Nice to get more confirmation that this is a PS5 specific enhancement, which seemingly is free for all owners of the game. I do hope that 60 FPS target is stable during regular play as I'd be more than willing to have the Resolution be more dynamic to ensure a more stable experience.
It is just for legal reasons.
That and practically every game uses dynamic resolution nowadays. It's so prevalent that Digital Foundry has even begun describing fixed resolutions as 'typical' resolutions in case they're actually dynamic.
I suspect we will continue to see more of these announcements.
A lot of people said a few weeks ago, "If these games were getting improvements, they would be shouting from the rooftops by now"
And once again we continue to find out more improvements for old games.

AWESOME!!! I will definitely boot this up and check out it runs. Maybe do another horde or two. Game was fantastic.
Very nice! On the console side, I think you really have to give credit to MS for making BC something that I think needs be a focus heading into a new generation, especially with how they've taken the time to enhance old games going back to the OG Xbox days. It's good to see this happening with the PS5. You not only have an instantly large library to play on your new hardware, but with game-specific patches/updates, you breathe new life into the old library as well and somewhat eliminate the need to keep old systems hooked up, not just getting better performance via brute force means.
They've got a content gap to fill for PS+, they can't change the terms for PS4 and they aren't going to give you this on top.
I'm not trying to downplay something I do not really understand, but is it really impressive they a new generation can run a last generation game at 4K/60fps, 4K being dynamic?
Those new consoles are advertised a being 4K/60fps/RT machines after all. Does the fact that 4k is dynamic on a last generation game indicates that sacrifices will have to be made more often than not for games targeting the upcoming generation?

Awesome! I had been meaning to get this game every time there was a sale until the PS+ collection was announced. Looking forward to play in 4K 60fps
I never finished this game from when it originally came out, after the improvements they made and this I will for sure go back and complete it.
People need to understand and accept that dynamic 4k is going to be a thing all generation and there is NOTHING wrong with that. The less resources used for native 4k, the better.
It managing to run at 4K/60fps isn't impressive (and, as has been said, dynamic 4K and 'up to' 60fps don't really mean anything, it's just legalese); what people are celebrating is that Bend Studio has gone back and patched the game to be better than just the bare minimum through boost mode. It allows people to play this game in a much better light than, say, God of War which only runs at 1080p/60fps because that's what the PS4 version was capped at in Performance Mode.
And dynamic 4K especially doesn't mean much nowadays. 4K itself is a waste of resources and very few games actually use a fixed resolution now. It'll likely be 1440p in the absolute worst-case scenario, but will likely be at 4K or very close to it the majority of the time.
