What games run like crap on current-gen that you can't wait to play smoothly on next-gen consoles?
- Thread starter RedSwirl
- Start date
Sekiro, base PS4. Started playing it but couldn't handle the frame pacing and stopped. Actually, do we have any reason to believe that the classic FROM frame pacing will go away with more power? Is it jank on Pro as well?
Also Control, but the upgrade kerfuffle kind of killed my motivation.

I'd buy a Switch Pro upgrade for that game. Framerate, resolution, and texture improvements would make the game shine.
I've been wondering what Days Gone will look like on the PS5. I can easily imagine a more polished and smooth experience for that game in particular.
I have no idea. I just hope that since the PC load times are so much better, we can at least get closer to that. But yeah, I don't actually know how it works, just hopeful.
The whole game needs a remaster for the Switch successor. The game looks and runs mediocre/bad in so many ways.
I think we'll be paying for a ps5 enhanced version of Bloodborne.
Final Fantasy XV in pro mode.
Fallout 4 in pro mode.
The Last Guardian in pro mode.
God of war doesn't run bad but the uncapped framerate option on a 120hz display is something I can't wait to try.
Also sekiro with the uncapped frame rate option as well.
Excited to try Infamous: Second Son as it also has an uncapped frame rate and i'm pretty sure would look great in HDR.
Bloodborne from what I understand would require more work to implement 60fps as i believe the way the game tracks time is tied to 30fps. They would either have to decouple the clock from fps or have a toggle for each mode. Something that would require a lot of testing and i'm not sure they would release as a patch to the existing game.

Not really. It's pretty smooth for the most part, outside of the occasional slowdown.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands.
I'd pay for a 60fps patch for this game on new consoles, but won't get it of course. Maybe for Breakpoint.
I'm playing this on Xbox with some friends who don't have gaming PCs, and it's such a struggle.
I'm used to playing it at 90+ fps on PC, and even there it's terribly optimized.

Avengers makes me feel sick on 4k mode on the X1X which is normally a sign of framerate issues, it's fine on 'performance' mode. Hopefully will be able to play it in 4k on the Series X.
I also only have a base PS4, so decided to wait for PS5 to play Days Gone as I only got it recently anyway.

The Last Guardian.
I've noticed frame-rate drops in other games but the near continuous dropping in this game really spoiled a lot of it for me. Hopefully we'll get a 60fps mode on the PS5.

Good luck with that one. I just popped it on with my 3080, and it still had really terrible frame drops
Is Tekken ever going to get these patches the game needs so badly? I know nobody has the answers but it's just something I think about from time to time
PS5 - First games I will boot up:
Games I won't launch:
- Bloodborne - shouldn't be any different than on current PS4 Pro in Boost Mode which gets more consistent fps but still that Fromsoftware-stuttering, but it will be the first game I will start just to see if they put out any surprise update! (beyond wishful thinking)
- Until Dawn - 35fps on PS4 Pro Boost Mode - will it reach 60?
- The Evil Within - I just have to see if the 30 fps feels any smoother compared to PS4 Pro. I would be very grateful if anyone with a PS4 Pro and PS5 could do a comparison video later!
- Monster Hunter World - Performance Mode 60fps. Should be playable on consoles for the first time!
- Final Fantasy 15 - Performance Mode 60fps.
- Dark Souls 3
- Sekiro
- Nier Automata
- Dying Ligtht
- RE5
- RE2
- No Man's Sky
- Infamous: Second Son - 60fps Performance Mode
- God of War - 60fps Performance Mode (looking forward to hear the PS5-noise level)
- Oddworld: New 'n Tasty
- Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
- Just Cause 4
- Abzu
- Steep
- Skater XL
Games I won't launch:
- Days Gone - I didn't notice much frame dips the whole game so I don't know what people are talking about. Had a blast playing it on Pro with SSD. The initial stage loading was long but fast traveling went fast. I'm too burned out on it but will definitely launch it if it ever gets a 60fps patch.
- The Last Guardian - Not my favourite game. Played it in performance mode. Might try if I can bear with the Trico-jank.
- Human Fall Flat - Please fix 60fps please!
- GTAV - Is it getting a 60fps re-release?
- Witcher 3 - Waiting eagerly for the free sweet, sweet 60fps patch! :9
- FF7 Remastered - if there are any rumors on any PS5-version I might wait.
- Spiderman (confirmed)
- Control (confirmed)
- Death Stranding
- TLOU2
- Ghost of Tsushima
- RDR2
- Ubisoft and Asscreed: I'm not that keen on giving money to Ubi but I'm counting on 60fps remasters of the later fantastic Asscreed games coming to PS5 which I'm looking forward to!
- Fallout 76 demo and Fallout 4 please! Those should get 60 fps patches to PS5 but I have no hopes for it.
- Mad Max - needs an 60fps patch! It's so fun in 60fps on PC with Dual Shock! A bit similar game to Days Gone in a good way!

Unfortunately you'll be waiting a long time. CDPR have said that they're hoping to get that patch out some time in 2021, but can't guarantee it.
AC Unity runs quite well in boost mode on the Pro.
Bloodborne never even got a Pro patch.
This. I'm playing on pro and it is not much better. I would love a smoother experience on ps5.
First game that came to mind is Grounded. On the OG Xbox One the framerate/graphics are not that great.
Most of Sony's exclusives - Horizon Zero Dawn, Bloodborne and Days Gone in particular. Gears 4 and 5. Forza Horizon 3 and 4. I stopped playing Sniper Elite 3 because of its performance, but I'm not sure I'll go back. I might check out Far Cry 5 and Primal again if they get frame rate improvements.
There's a lot out current gen games that would be improved by a performance patch.

Monster Hunter World on Xbox One X didn't run great. The performance mode fluctuated between 40-60 and sometimes dropped further. The resolution and graphics modes ran even worse (somewhere around 25-35 fps), while still targeting 60 fps. The Xbox Series X should give these titles quite a boost.
I got Jedi Fallen Order on Xbox and PC last year. It was a very good (but not excellent) experience on PC where I managed over 60fps the majority of the time.
It felt sluggish on Xbox One X and I think that's a shame.
The silence on further optimization of the current gen version and any sort of news about a next gen optimization is kind of a bummer to me. I think it's a game that could very easily find a new audience with a much better performance profile on next gen. I hope it's coming.

IIRC Bethesda said recently that they have no plans for a next-gen upgrade on 76 unfortunately.
Definitely cant wait to play a version of jedi fallen order that runs smoothly. Marvels avengers on ps5 will hopefully be a smoother experience than what it is on ps4.
Well damn that stinks. Hopefully it plays on ps5 at least. I'd rather not have to play both consoles when I get my ps5.
have some bad news for you. unless they cap the fps to 60 this wont go away. Its an inherent problem with that engine.
Load up sekiro or dark souls 3 on pc. cap fps to 30 and look at frametimes. its the same issue. This engine just has problems at 30fps. at 60 there is no framepacing issue.
I love Warzone, but holy shit are the menus an absolute joke. You can't even view a custom built weapon for 10 seconds sometimes on a base PS4 / XB1. Cannot wait for the non-gameplay aspects of that game to function properly.
Played 150 hours of Odyssey on PS4 Pro and I've only experienced that kind of issue when in a busy naval battle. Load times though... They are so bad and next gen is so close that I would just wait if you plan on getting a PS5 day one.
Here is another weird one that may make you want to wait to play it on PS5. If you plan on playing the fate of Atlantis DLC then know that if you ride your horse in Hades, you will come across streaming issues. Meaning that the game can't load the area fast enough so it pauses for like 5 seconds mid game while it loads the area. It is terrible.
The jump for (and anyone in that boat) is going to be glorious.
I actually watched a video on YouTube of someone emulating it on PC and it removes the blur filter... absolutely insanely better experience, no doubt.
Can't believe Nintendo (of ALL people) would allow that it to be finalized in that state.

I just want all the bugs ironed out of Wasteland 3 and load times reduced. I don't even really care about the performance given that it's a turn based game, but improved performance would be nice too.
