Oh wow, that train of concern surrounding the PS5 keeps rolling...
"This PS4 game isn't supported with your PS5's current system software. We're continuing to make more PS4 games playable on PS5. Update your PS5, and then try playing the game."
Jimbo: 99% of all PS4 games run on the PS5

PS5 will be ‘99 percent’ backward compatible with PS4 games
PS4 games could give you something to play as the PS5 lineup fills out.www.theverge.com
so much for "i´ve sold my PS4 already!"...there will be some rude awakenings i can already see it
man, this rollout keeps getting worse by the day...
That is a very positive thought, i appreciate it..
That's....a stretch.
Exactly. The PS4 library is massive and even 1% is still a good sized number. Would people rather Sony not communicate this?
Edit: I also failed at math, sorry. Still, my point stands, these messages are necessary for some games.
Likely just a safeguard for the rare 1% that won't work or just an incompatibility issue. I wouldn't really think much more about it.
yes and its about fucking time
hopefuly this means there is a PC app too
lol yes I fucked up but the point I was trying to make was the small number of games still need an error message
people should expect some outliers in the beginning that get updated to work later.
But folks are going to try to spin this as another huge fuck up or something on Sony's part

The first games I try on my PS5 are FFXV and FFVII Remake. I need to see if they go to 60fps and how good they look.
Thats not happening unless Sony pays FromSoftware for a Remaster
Game didnt even get a PS4 Pro patch to unlock the framerate, let alone fix their frame pacing issue
Big doubts this is happening. Game is locked to 30. Would be a joyful day if it got a patch.
I'm betting this is that this covers the 1% or so that won't work on PS5, so the likes of P.T definitely won't as you can't even download it. I'm also assuming that Driveclub might be another, but who knows.
Just need a list of what games will work at launch, which won't now

When are people going to learn that Boost mode does not unlock framerates.
When.
WHEN.
This won't happen without Bloodborne getting patched. Other games with unlocked frame rates, though, like DS3 and Sekiro, should hit 60fps.
they may have said it, but where is the proof? I need proof that it is 99% /s
There we go haha
seeing what Series X did for Sekiro I'm hoping PS5 can do the same. So many games are gonna be almost completely new experiences if they'reable to be boosted
Lmfao!!!!!
PSNow sharing...hmmmm.
I gotta read over this some more later. Yeah.....alot now info is coming...Sooony.
PS4 Pro Boost Mode doesn't, with PS5 we're reaching unknown territory here. We know MS has something where they can double frame rate in older games, lets see what Sony has.
Seems like it's one way to stop someone on PS5 from buying a PS4 game that may not be backwards compatible yet. Pray for Lichdom Battlemage, I think a PS5 boost mode would have finally made it playable lol
Patched? Oh, it will get patched alright for $70 a pop. I don't see a free patch coming at all, however, can absolutely see a PS5 remaster for full on price. Maybe it won't be $70 but $60.
So what you're saying is it needs a remaster. Which at that point just make a new one please.
That's one possible scenarios, but there are plenty of others and the text doesn't really say anything one way or another. There are only two things we can conclude with reasonable certainty:
- They're really testing thousands of games and will be transparent on the store about the current state of a game before you purchase a PS4 title. That's great news.
- Titles that are problematic won't necessarily be a problem forever. There are clearly some steps they can take to expand the collection of compatible games, whether it requires patches from developers, game-specific binary fixes, or just tweaks to the compatibility environment for problem games.
It says message and voice chat; not specifically just voice chat. So I wouldn't necessarily read that as there being the ability to voice chat via the app.
FF7 Remake is capped at 30fps.
Unless devs patch something, you can expect it to play exactly like it plays on the PS4 Pro. PS5 might fix the low rez textures "bug", but even that, I'm not sure.
Wait, if the game is locked at 30 I don't think the new xbox can double it. Wasn't that just for already unlocked framerates or performance modes from OneX?
There is no reason to expect this. Bloodborne it definitely won't. It physically can't. It would require a comprehensive patch as so much of the game's code works at 33.3ms.
The Xbox Series X does not boost games past framerate caps. So no, a boost mode from Sony would not either. Microsoft have been clear on this on their end. There's no reason to think Sony will be doing it. Microsoft will be doing it on a game by game basis, much like high res xbox 360 games. That is not boost mode doing it. An automatic mode cannot unlock framerates. Bespoke work has to be done on a given title, and some games just don't do that without extensive work, like Bloodborne.
I do not know why people think boost mode can ignore caps. It will not. We have never, ever seen evidence that it will, and even Microsoft, who is actually advertising such a feature, has stated it will be on a title by title basis. I don't know how else to explain this.
Pretty much. It's a prime candidate for a game to be remastered.
Everything Cerny said about PS5 Boost Mode made it sound like it is exactly like PS4 Pro Boost Mode in that it allows games with dynamic resolutions, unlocked framerates, and performance/quality modes to utilize the new hardware to max those out. Sony hasn't talked about having a BC team that updates games without dev input to do things like double framerate on select games.
Oh right, it does play capped. Well, Square Enix would rather re-sell it for full price probably. In any case, XV will be good probably. It is enhanced with XSX.
No, DF's testing was with games with unlocked frame rates. What Microsoft was saying that on specific games they would actually be able to enable doubling frame rates that were once locked to 30 up to 60, we haven't seen anything with that yet.
Agreed. They never talked about timelines but one could argue that they will start with the most-played titles (the 'top 100 most played' already mentioned) and work their way down from there. So I'm pretty sure there will be quite some games not-playable at launch, and like you said, some titles will take longer than others.
Posting the earlier statement for posterity:
User Banned (5 Days): Conspiracy theorizing to platform war
haha you people believe only 1% will not work at launch?
When sony is this unclear the reason is simple: they are hiding something
sure they said 99%... but not WHEN
