PS5 Backwards Compatibility: All PS4 games with benefits

Performance mode, runs like a dream. Still looks like shit though lmao..
I personally could not see any difference between performance and resolution mode, so go with performance for a better time.
Good to hear played on pro around the time it originally released but it was a bit rough on there so I gave up
Question about DMC5...is the PS5 version just focused on graphical improvements? Or is the performance significantly better as well? If its just graphics I'll stick with my PS4 version
The SE version on PS5 runs at 120fps, among graphical improvements.
A few more tests from me for more obscure titles.
Arcana gothic 3 which was a stuttering mess on ps4 and ps4 pro, now is a total lock on 60 and is actually now a really fun game considering it can be picked up for next to nothing.
Prototype 1 and 2. Thought these might be better, but seems like its frame pacing issues that prevent this from seeming like a locked 30fps (so similar to bloodborne)

I think it actually runs a bit worse? Hah. The selling points are 120fps mode and ray traced reflections under certain modes. But the 120fps mode is a target and it can drop to the 90s.
Thank you! I dont have a tv that can handle 120FPS so I'm not missing out on anything :)
Anyone is welcome to correct me on these points, as I'm not 100% sure about them.
I think you'll experience much better load times on the SE, because it's a native PS5 app. While PS4 games via BC see a big improvement, I don't think they compare to the speed of native apps. There's also the turbo mode which is exclusive to SE.
I'm not putting you off playing the PS4 version via BC. It'll definitely benefit but just wanted to point out the pros of the SE.
+ Faster Loading
+ Optional Ray Tracing
+ Optional 120fps mode
+ Turbo Mode
+ Vergil (Can be bought for DMC5 at a later date)
+ Legendary Dark Knight difficulty
+ DualSense Functionality
For those of you that like testing obscure games, have you tried The Sinking City, Call of Cthulhu and Elex?
Bishop89 tested Elex a while back. Here's his post.
Not sure about the other two. I'd be curious to hear about The Sinking City, as it's on my list to play.
Just a warning: do NOT buy Ape Escape 2 if you're planning on playing it on PS5. It is extremely buggy and I had to request a refund for it:
Sorry if this has been asked already, but has Ubisoft said anything about AC Syndicate getting revisited to work correctly on the PS5?
Their initial blog post listed the game and several others as incompatible. So I don't think they are going to put in any effort. Might still get better with OS upgrades and I think that is more likely.
That all sounds nice, but not 40.00 nice IMO. I'm about 1/3 through the game and kind of just want to see it through 😬
The constant disrespect shown to Ape Escape by Sony is heart breaking.
This is what I want to believe will happen. Sony will naturally improve their BC solution over time with firmware updates, hopefully they can look into Syndicate and implement a fix for the lighting bug.
Elex runs at 60 as far as I can tell. I intend to replay it, and Risen 3, which also runs extremely smoothly. I have Cthulhu and will check it.
I say this as someone who rates the Switch their favorite console ever.
...Wow, poor Switch.
I've captured Jedi Fallen Order videos at 60 FPS, capture settings should be the same no matter which games you play.
You have to select manual recording for 4K60. The PS4 "auto records" only in 1080p30 (for clips and trophies).
No way, that's awesome. This console just keeps getting better.
You know this has been a thing on PS4 for years, right? 😅
Digital Foundry: Hands-on with PS4's PlayStation 2 emulation
UPDATE 21/11/15 11:38am: Just how much faster is the PS2 emulator compared to original hardware? We've just posted this…
www.eurogamer.net
I have tried Cthulhu. I can't remember how it ran on the Pro but it seems to be a stable 60 and loading is quite quick.
Legitimately "Jedi: fallen order: the thread"
Looking at some old gameplay videos on the PS4 versus how smooth it runs on the PS5, I can't imagine trying to play it on last gen consoles. Zero crashes, zero lag, zero stuttering in combat, zero bugs besides a couple funny graphical glitches with character models, instant load times when I fail a platforming section and I've failed many, many times.
If you bounced off it hard last gen due to performance and happen to have a PS5 now I would suggest going back to it

Except they're not. They're using a bundled PS2 emulator that works with other titles, too. People have been able to use it to play other PS2 titles.
Ghostbusters Remastered is on sale for $7.49.
Chart says PS5 will play it 4k 60fps.. but cutscenes will be 1080p 30fps.
Eitherway I'm buying it right now... I just wish this type of game got a PS5 update that featured RT, DualSense features, and 3D Audio.. because man all those colors, destruction, and Sound. 😬

I don't think that's right.
What I have been doing is booting up the game, playing for 5 Min or whatever then selecting "save full video" which records everything from the moment I booted up the game.
My videos have been a mix of 30/60fps.
Now I don't know if something weird is going on with the ps5 saving or youtube, but some titles are showing as 60fps on YouTube when I thought they would be 30fps (Witcher 3, outcast) and the ones Im sure are 60fps are showing as 30fps (Battlefront, EDF)
I think the idea is that they will play on PS5. Still could run with some issues like Ape Escape 2.
Twisted Metal Black and War of the Monsters plays great on PS5 though. I haven't tested the rest of them.
What I'm taking from this is that we need Switch 2 with an SSD, stat.
And the bundle of emulator and image is a PS4 executable.
