With the Tlou2 release delayed closer to the supposed ps5 launch date, will you wait for the ps5 version/patch or will you still get the ps4 version?

Edited: added patch

I'll get the PS4 version, because I have a PS4, and when I get PS5, I'll play the PS4 version (enhanced). If and when a PS5 version comes out, I'll buy that too.

Don't think so. I mean it gets delayed to June at tops, I still think it will come out at around April. That's plenty of time between the release and the potential release for the PS5. Also in my case, I don't think I'll get the PS5 on the release day.

I was always planning to wait for PS5 since it's so close but this makes the decision much easier.

Mind you, I will probably get a PS5 two years after launch like I did with the PS4, I just hope it's not another PS4 scenario where actual good exclusives don't arrive until way later than that.

Why would I wait more 5-6 months because of a ~2/3 months delay?

As someone who is almost certainly not getting a PS5 at launch, I think I'll just get the PS4 version. PS5 version will probably just be an 8k upscale.

If it's June....I may try and hold out....Who am I kidding, I'm PS4 pro and then I have less reason to upgrade to the PS5.

I'm hoping that sony goes and announce that it will have a patch for PS5 improvements so kinda a "buy it now for PS4 and you can experience it enhanced on PS5" marketing thing.

By PS5 version you mean playing the exact same PS4 version on PS5 via backwards compatibility?

1- Because you are really sure there will be PS5 version at some point... a console that already BC with PS4 ?

2 -And risk spoilers for a game that is focused on story telling?

lol.

Unless it's coming out a month before the PS5 then I'm playing it on PS4.

TBH I don't think there'll be two different versions. Given that the PS5 is based in part on PS4 architecture I think the PS4 version will pop into your PS5 and there'll be some huge patch to download to bring in new textures and take advantage of the more powerful system.

I was probably gonna play it on PS5 anyway so the delay won't effect me, though it does suck for those waiting on it.

I still think there won't be a PS5 version. A PS5 patch, most probably, but not a re-release of the game on the new machine.

wont ps5 run the ps4 version? no reason to wait in my opinion.

would take them a good while to remaster the game for ps5 anyway. tlou1 remaster took a year and a half iirc

I'm with some of the others here, why release two versions when the PS5 is backwards compatible? They'll probably patch in support for enhancements later. I doubt I'll wait, I'm weak and it looks great as is.

There's no PS5 version. It's a enhanced BC and patch, you won't have to buy the game again.

Also, it could be a 1 month delay, not sure that would make anyone decide to wait till fall 21

You assume that there will be a PS5 version and not some kind of patch or special mode built into the game.

no I'll get both but i would prefer if the Ps4 version would just get a patch on ps5 to benefit from the new implementations from the Ps5 version ^^

We don't even know the strategy for PS4/PS5 backwards compatibility, if there will be separate versions, or how long before a potential PS5 version would be available. The race to get up a thread on the hint of every news tidbit is crazy.

na it's still gonna come out before the PS5 launch so I'll still get it on PS4. Also while it's probably a safe bet it's gonna come to PS5 there's no guarantee so until stated otherwise I'm gonna assume it isn't

And wait 6 months? lol. The ps5 is BC, so you're getting both version really.
