I think all the ps4pro modes have unlocked framerate, so they should be able to do it with the framerate mode at least.
And not only that, but faster loading times as well.

PS4 BC on the PS5 to work on “overwhelming majority” of the library, games to benefit from improved frame rates and resolutions

Genius Sony marketing. Now everyone will be so relieved to have PS4 BC that they'll forget they wanted PS1-3.
It's the PS4 multiplayer paywall all over again.
As somebody who isn't a tech genius is there a chance PS5 can help with that?
I would give it another playthrough and see if it has issues still in Old Yharnam
they have to say things like that because if they said "All" and eve just one game didn't work then it would be an uproar
I think today's message was pretty clear and promising and I'm one of the ones who was discouraged initially
This unfortunately. Sony appear to be taking an almost identical approach to how Boost Mode works on the PS5 Pro. Basically stabilising frame rates and dynamic resolutions but that's it.
Because there are a bunch of games that don't work anymore due to shutdowns and such, so they can't say all will be playable if it doesn't include every single game.
I have zero faith that the backwards compatibility will be handled well at all with PS5. It just doesn't seem like Sony has allocated the resources and efforts Microsoft has to do this justice. The fact it's confirmed that you can literally unplug your HDD from the Xbox One and plug it into your Series X and continue playing on Day 1, while were still trying to figure out exactly what Sony even means when they describe their backwards compatibility shows where we're at with this.
I will just keep my PS4 Pro around like I did with the PS3 and call it a day.

right lmao. We literally dont even say things like approved in my line of work vs accepted due to the legal ramifications when dealing with multiple entities.
Man, I really love FromSoft, but their Technic has always been hit or miss (mostly) miss. I don't think Bloodborne will ever run optimally.
I want to be wrong on this though and maybe, just maybe, Sony will put Bloodborne on PC like Horizon.
You are telling me that Sony confirming BC months ago, and Cerny recently expanding on it in a 52-min tech video was all true?!! Damn man, legit shocked haha 😂.
Now time to start getting worried which out of the 4000+ games wont work, because of course it will be that 1 game that is dropping a frame that will stop someone on Era from getting the PS5. Never change Era 😘
OK, this confirms my original read on the what Cerny said. They know nearly all the top 100 games work fine, and they are confident that ratio is true for the entire library.
From Cerny's talk it sounds like it's still early days for this testing. I Imagine things will shore up as launch approaches.
Era loves leaping the Dillinger.Are you telling me ERA jump the gun again?No shit,and I thought I was naive,I love this particular page.
PlayStation 4 Backwards Compatability for PS5 won't be 100% at launch, PS5 too fast for some titles, tweaks and testing on game-by-game basis
You sure? And in that case what do even boost mode mean? On Pro it was basicly just some better framerates in some games, seems lackluster if it isn't more.www.resetera.com
This is great to hear. Awesome. This really had me worried. Cerny seemed clear to me, and then the PS Blog made it sound different.
Also great to hear that most PS4 games will very likely have locked framerates given the boosted frequency at which they'll run.

Thank goodness. It was super clear during Cerny's talk, but then they posted an ambiguous blog post that absolutely read as though they had <100 titles even working.
Anyway glad to hear it, maybe I'll keep waiting to play Last Guardian on my Slim...

I seem to be missing one normal combat encounter on the 3rd mission. Here's what the map looks like. Can't seem to trigger anything in what seems to be the last encounter zone, and I had to backtrack to get here anyway. Is it a bug?
I think you posted this in the wrong hell world
Well of course. Framerate/resolution locks can't magically disappear.
And all the dynamic/reconstruction games will run at vastly higher resolutions. Along with quicker loading it will be a night and day difference. Similarly with XSX. This will probably be the best generation for BC ever.
Smells fishy. I could see a few companies try to sell last gen games plus expansions bundled together as a 'new game, now in 4K! (even though 4K assetts were provided for free to PC players)' and mysteriously the original game won't run on PS5 because reasons. I'm looking directly (and with a mad frowny face) at you Monster Hunter World.
You plug in your brand new PS5.
You want to try out the backwards compatibility so you download Bloodborne from the PSN store, hoping it would run at 60 fps.
The download finishes.
You start the game.
It loads so fast that you miss the splash screen.
Something seems off.
It's actually Bloodborne 2.
Somewhere on the other side of the country Mark Cerny is smirking to himself in his bathtub.
You create your character and start the game.
It still has framepacing issues.
A single tear rolls down your face.
On topic: it seemed clear that this was the case with backwards compatibility but people overreacted like they always do.
So you want Sony to tell people all games will work... then tell people which games won't work. Ok.
I cannot understand how this notion of two separate modes of PS4 games running is still circulating in this thread unchecked. Even in this clarification they made no such distinction or specificed a specific class of games that benefit from boosted frequencies. Their language is too broad to find any indication of that.
I'll just post what I wrote in the earlier thread. This clarification hasn't fully cleared the picture for me, frankly.

Don't the dynamic res games likely have a res cap? That being said, having those games run with a consistent resolution will certainly be nice, too.
They can't say all because they haven't tested all of them.
Good to see this confirmed a little better. I was really going to be irritated if I had to wait forever to play my games. I'm only upgrading to PS5 because I have the OG PS4 and it's starting to get near the end of its life. Would hate to be locked out of all my shit.
I do initially. The blog post was at odds with what Cerny said.
Pretty sure Spencer has said on Twitter that he's run into problems with some BC he's played. There's work to do for both of these companies before launch. It's striking the difference in how readily people will believe Microsoft over Sony in this aspect.
It's absolutely his fault.
You do not publish something like that with incomplete information.
It will be interesting to see how many games, and at what quality Sony can delivery for launch. Backcompat was a huge reason, along with potential proper 4k versions of 1st-party titles for me to get a PS5.
This news does seem like a bit of a hail Mary though, just like the GPU overclock to mitigate negativity, but if they can actually pull off thousands of games for launch, we are all the better for it.

I mean, it says that they're testing thousands of more games in the lead up to launch.
I know and I acknowledged that in the quotation of my other post. I wrote that the mention of them testing thousands more was the most reassuring part of the clarification, but other questions remained, not that no questions were answered. Seems like you skimmed my post in this thread and didn't actually read through it all.
This is the best response early on. I think it was pretty obvious that there'd be more than just the 100 titles Mark mentioned, and that it was FAR too early for people to jump the gun and predict doom and gloom, but the truth is that their messaging was NOT 100% clear and consistent across the board. Glad to have the clarifying message today.
I absolutely read it. I agreed with the other parts and only felt the need to reply to that specific part.
