Digital Foundry | PlayStation 5 Backwards Compatibility Tested - And It's Fantastic!

So, Microsoft should patch the games to run at 720p, right :D ?
Haha, for maybe six months or so I haven't been playing PS4 solo games to enjoy more definitive BC experiences on the PS5. Day's Gone was the last one I completed, and even that I should've waited on apparently. :-)
That's OK, I still have a first play through goodness ahead of me for Spiderman, Gosts of Tsushima, TLoU2, FF XV, and Seikro among others
Why is it the two FromSoft games that need it the least that are 60fps and not Bloodborne...
It's not fair...

Man, KH III without the extremely long loading times must be incredible. It's the number one reason why I wanted it on PC, as performance at 1080p on PS4 Pro is good enough for me.
That makes sense, thanks for the info!
Probably because Sony doesn't want to be seen emphasising BC or playing to the same marketing game, rather focusing on the next-gen stuff. But I agree, clarification would have been welcome, and beneficial to them.
First thhought that pops up: Why did Sony not market this more?
I personally don´t really care for BC that much but it seems strange that they basically left the BC-field to MS in the weeks leading up to launch.

If the lower resolution is 1080p for favoring stable/locked 60fps, fine by me.
As I doubt I'll buy a 4K TV/monitor anyway, lol.

Exactly, their focus has always been new stuff, not old games because it's a lot more important for them to focus on what's new. Hopefully this pleases a lot of people though lol.
Sucks about BB. This is why I believe Sony should do their own souls games. From isn't going to bother with it.
And Sony has unbelievably good teams that can do as good if not better than From. Plus they own the BB, and DS.

I'm expecting a locked 30 at the high res mode after these results, which would be great.
From didn't patch Dark Souls III for free out of the goodness in their hearts, though. If a game doesn't have a Pro/PS5 patch, that's much more on Sony than on the devs.
I think phrasing it as "From isn't going to bother with it" is a bit unfair. Are they supposed to just remove people from Elden Ring to patch Bloodborne for free and send it to Sony?
Well Sekiro it was 1800 Checkerboard vs 1800 Native and it run about 5-7 fps worse on Series X. wouldn't call it significantly lowe resolution in this case, but that differs from game to game i guess.
A solid showing for PS5. After spending years with Xbox doing their BC stuff, it's great to see Sony pushing on as well. Not as many features as what Xbox BC was bringing to the table but it's a great start and no SOny fans should be worried about what is being shown here.
Sekiro performance seems just phenomenal, what a fantastic susprise.
Thank you for your work.
One thing if possible, the most notorious drops in Sekiro on a base PS4 is when you are on top of Ashina Castle (the place where you fight Genichiro and Owl), if you have any save that allow you to go to that area, could you please check how the performance is there?
I assume that if the game doesn't drop there it won't drop anywhere else either (at least significantly).
Edit: I just watched all the footage from your Sekiro coverage and you say you played it for the first time, so forget about that :D

I never finished KH3. Made it to the Monsters Inc. world and stopped playing halfway through. I think it's time to go back.
Which make sense since they have more new games and a new controller to push for marketing .
That is mostly because fps and loading is all it's concentrating on. Series X BC deals with a number of other improvements that the PS5 does not concentrate on.
Good to see, makes me glad that I didn't play Ghosts or Days Gone on PS4, will be much more pleasant to play through them at locked 60 fps. Couldn't wait for TLOU2 though, had to play through it on a pro. With that said, it's really great to see both console makers finally acknowledge the importance of being able to play your previous gen games on your new console.
Basically what everyone expected. PS5 is letting PS4/PS4 pro games achieve their highest framerates and resolutions, and that's pretty much it.
I'm curious to know about games that would have drops in some places? I know in horizon zero dawn, there's a specific are where the frame rate just tanks & I'm curious if stronger hardware fixes that?
Things are more complicated than that unfortunately, the logic of the game is tied to 30fps. Hopefully Sony will do something about it.
I think calling it significantly lower resolutions is pushing it. Usually PS4 Pro games were either dynamic resolution (so on PS5 you'd get full 4K/60fps) or CB, which isn't a massive difference from native 4K except in a select few poorly implemented titles
Syndicate has a lighting bug:
AC : Syndicate (Games marked as Bootable) Does Work on PS5

Sadly what they'll do about it is have Bluepoint remake it and charge $70 for it..
and I'll angrily buy it...
Examples? Besides the AF?
Also it's more because the One X versions the Series X is emulating are more intensive than the PS4 Pro versions the PS5 is emulating.
