The Dilemma of "Play TLoU:P2 and Ghosts of Tsushima at launch" or "wait to play them on PS5"

I'm not waiting for TLOU2. I will wait and see on GOT, and I think with that I'd rather just wait and get the benefit of improved graphics hopefully on PS5. TLOU2 will likely warrant a second playthrough which will be glorious on PS5!!
Well after hearing some things about other consoles, I guess my base PS4 isn't the loudest, but I've just used noice cancelling headphones with certain games like RDR2 or GoW which make the fans pretty wild. Works great and you definitely can have the volume at whatever level is best. It's still a bit annoying that you absolutely have to use the headphones of course.
Indeed, I would expect them to run and look better too, we'll see.
I was waiting already. But you might as well wait, especially if Phil is right that there will be delays to gaming in the future.
Very likely, because almost all PS4 games will be playable on the PS5.
Sorry you had to bring it up. Maybe you should place your pro on an even opened surface if not already, it might help with the noise.
Day zero on Pro for Ghost. Game looks sublime from the footage shown on Pro and I don't have a noise issue so no need to wait for me.
I'd be shocked if either ran badly on PS4. Only PS4 exclusives that come to mind in that regards are Days Gone and TLG. Days Gone was later patched to run just fine and for TLG I think it was more the tumultuous development that heavily impacted his performance. Later SoTC ran on the same engine and performed well enough. TLoU2 is arguably Sony's flagship game of this gen, again I'd be shocked if it hasn't been optimised to run perfectly. And it's also not like SuckerPunch has history of poor performing games either. SS released early on in the PS4's life cycle and ran flawlessly from what I can remember, it'd be very surprising if the the proceeding years SuckerPunch actually got worse at using the PS4 hardware and not better.
I feel I need to know whether they'll upgrade the games for free before really making that decision. If not, I don't mind waiting a bit.
I will wait, not because I want to, but because the Mexican peso is shit, and the price would be too much for me to buy both games at launch.

No matter what the situation is I think it's safe to say that no 'Sony Computer Entertainment' game from the companies Sony owns is going to be without backwards compatability.
1440p/1600p Checkboarded -> Full 4K
Higher framerates or a more consistent framerate
Much faster load times
Better antisotropic filtering
Improved lighting
Etc etc
There's a fair amount of changes that could be made with a simple enhanced backwards compatability patch. If they go the full remaster route like with TLoU on PS4 then things could be improved even more.
Impossible to answer until we know if Sony is going to make the game enhanced or not for the PS5 and if they do are they going to charge for it. I plan to wait and see on both games. Also OP your reasoning for PRO and it being a Jet Engine does not apply to all of us with a Pro. My PRO is pretty damn quiet...not Xbox One X quiet but not the jet engine that many complain about...so if I do play it on the Pro, noise is not something I consider since my unit is pretty quiet.

No worries, you couldn't have known :)
I currently have it on the middle shelf of a glass TV stand like this one:
There aren't really many other places I can put it.
I will be opening it up to check for dust and the like (my house is old and I've got dogs so who knows) but I'm not sure that'll help.
I kind of want to wait to play them on a PS5. I have a base PS4 so I could play them, but I'm comfortable waiting a bit more too. I think some of this depends on when we learn more about BC on PS5 and if there is going to be any significant advantages.
At launch for tlou2. Fuck that nonsense about waiting to play on better hardware. I'm not waiting for cyberpunk either.
Ghosts I'm gonna wait till it drops in price and wait for impressions

Tbh I don't know, that's a question for a more educated person lol
What I do know is that even on my current high-end gaming rig with an SSD GTAV at 4K with literally every single setting turned to maximum still exhibits some pretty noticeable pop-in, whilst Spider-Man on a console decidedly less powerful than my PC has some of the best LOD management I've ever seen. So it might be more than just something that can be improved by simply better hardware.
Though I think pop-in will be more of an issue in GoT than TLoU:P2 seeing as that is an open-world game whereas the other is a much more directed experience.
Nah those are both day 1s. And I like replaying games so seeing them updated on PS5 which they hopefully won't charge for lol is part of the appeal.
Does kinda suck for people without headphones though or a surround sound that can drown out the noise.
Even still TLOU2 is risky because those spoilers. That's a long wait between release and PS5.

TLoU 2 is day 1, after it everything else is probably just going to be a impulse buy or wait for PS5. GoT and CP2077 are the most likely games I just say "ah,fuck it" and buy though.

I'm just glad that I have my PC and, if push comes to shove, my Xbox One X for other AAA games.
I legitimately re-bought and then lost around 8 hours of progress with Assassin's Creed Odyssey because i didn't want to play it on my PS4 Pro anymore (the Pro I had before the Death Stranding one. Long story). It would go from 'jet engine' any time I was talking to a character to almost whisper-quiet no matter what. Playing RDR2 a few weeks after that with barely any noise whatsoever was just bliss tbh.
Ah. Yeah, OP, now I understand why you're asking this question more. I have moderate tinnitus myself (about 45 dB loud when measuring it versus white noise adn a decibel meter), and having headphones with a good seal and using an decibel meter to measure before using them allows me to safely use headphones.
I've been fortunate in getting a launch model Pro that has never had a major sound issue. My launch model OG PS4 was louder.

This is going to sounds strange but a friend of mine has a similar TV stand and he doesn't keep the Pro on it anymore. Someone told him to move it on a wooden panel to reduce the noise, and it actually worked.
That said, in your case opening the console and cleaning whatever gunks inside will most likely help. Good luck!
Yeah, and that is great, but I am specifically concerned about next gen versions of these games. They are coming about just months before the PS5 releases, and since I am 100% planning to buy a PS5, it makes me hesitate to jump in on PS4 versions right now.
I'm playing them right away to pass the time while we wait for the PS5 and/or the extinction of humanity.
Also, put on some damn headphones if your PS4 is soooo loud you just can't enjoy a game. 🙄

Hmmm, that might be something to try. Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Already addressed that, read the thread.
