[SmokedMeat]

Curious as to how the ports run. Wasn’t this in poor shape at launch?

 

[sono]

I have been on the fence about getting an Xbox one this has pushed me right over the edge

 

[Buggy Loop]

Oh boy

Remember this on PS5 ?

Can they make it even more of a pixel soup?

 

[Trunx81]

 

[winjer]

This game really suffered on the CPU side.
I'm curious to see it running on the Jaguar.

 

[N30RYU]

Looks like there will be a good Star Wars game releasing this year after all

 

[Bond007]

They should release a new map instead.

 

[Fake]

Most of you will change tone when they announce the Nintendo Switch version.

BS just like Mortal Kombat not releasing on base PS4/Xbox because nExT gEn, but also Switch. 'We need to drop last gen in favor of the next gen, bruh but also we made the Nintendo Switch version"

 

[Skifi28]

If owning the PS5 version lets me just download the PS4 one for free, I might just give it a try for the lulz.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Xbox One? Ugh. Why? No way that is gonna be pretty.

 

[mckmas8808]

Can't wait to see how a game released 18 months ago runs on a console released 11 years ago

Seriously!

 

[scydrex]

Looking forward to the DF video about the last gen version. This will be good!

 

[Three]

Weird. This is the first time I see a current gen game get ported to last gen. Are the any more examples of this?

Hogwarts Legacy had a later release on XB1/PS4. Blasphemous 2 got a late last gen port. Not many examples.

 

[Barakov]

Hmm...given how the PS5/Series versions run, this might be the one to get.

 

[intbal]

I doubt they do one.
Maybe a segment in a DF weekly, though.
There are plenty of recent games that they've never taken a look at. Banishers, for example.

 

[Luc2010]

Funny, I just started playing this on my XBOX Series X a week ago. It is pretty fun.

 

[Moses85]

For the

Version

 

[Redneckerz]

Hogwarts Legacy had a later release on XB1/PS4. Blasphemous 2 got a late last gen port. Not many examples.

Splitgate 2 next year (!!!) should be a doozy considering it is Unreal Engine 5 yet it gets a PS4/XBO port.

Imagine buying your PS4/XBO in 2013. You got some impressive mileage out of those machines.

 

[Wastelander92]

For the

Version

Gonna be burning more than

Spoiler

Anakin in ROTS

 

[Osaka_Boss]

First worlders forget How big ps4/Xbo install base is.

 

[ReBurn]

I need to get my flip flops.

 

[diffusionx]

I will be looking forward to the DF video on this because the PS5 version runs like ass.

 

[CityHunter1981]

Oh, new PC patch… Let me guess, they lower on PC the settings to the PS4 version settings and problem solved…

 

[saintjules]

this has pushed me right over the edge

 

[StreetsofBeige]

720p/30 on last gen consoles?

 

[EverydayBeast]

It's fair to make games for last gen just because it isn't as good as current gen doesn't mean it's bad.

 

[EDMIX]

SlimySnake I know how much you love that last gen support lol

 

[Itchy Tickles]

Considering the game is a stuttering jank fest on PC, I wonder how those consoles will hold up. Might make the resolution Wii style 480p or something. They did say they are releasing a patch for PC that will apparently help, *ONLY* after about 15 months. Shameful for a massive company.

 

[RPS37]

I stopped playing on xsx because of performance issues, love to see how these versions run.

 

[FeralEcho]

This is the worst fucking generation.

 

[Carmen Winstead]

"Let's release a more than a year and a half old game on hardware from 15 years ago."
Why are devs and publishers so delusional these days?

 

[Jigsaah]

At 30 fps 980p. Rejoice all

 

[Ozriel]

Wow, what the fuck? Can we throw out last gen consoles already?

Don't get me wrong I loved my PS4 and then my PS4 Pro but seriously, can we just have some more new games on the current consoles please?

How does this impact you in any way?

It’s a port of a current gen game. It doesn’t block any game from coming to your console, and the game was designed with current gen in mind.

Imagine the resources required for doing this. I can't imagine this is a small or simple task. Plus these studios are simply still looking into the past. It's unnecessary waste of time.

It's why we never get any new innovation for games like MLB The Show. So yes, it does directly impact me.

The more time these studios waste doing dumb shit like this, the less the industry will move forward.

 

[Portugeezer]

Much lower install base besides this was also announced last year in August.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is coming to PS4 and Xbox One

The game first launched in April this year.

Most PS5 owners probably were active on PS4 before. Most new releases sell better on the new consoles.

PS4 version won't do much if it underperformed. They probably planned a last gen versions early in development, put it in pause to finish next gen, and just slowly polished it off over this year.

 

[Ronin_7]

Ps4 will probably be timeless, i can see people playing it until 2030.

It is a port. It’ll be handled by a small pool of staff, and in today’s world where people are laying off folks and funding for new projects is a struggle, this is a positive indeed. They’ll draw on the work they’ve already put in to optimize the game for current gen, and try to come up with an acceptable last gen port to mop up some sales.

It isn’t ’looking Into the past’ if there’s still a decent sized market out there.

It's why we never get any new innovation for games like MLB The Show. So yes, it does directly impact me.

This is complete nonsense. MLB et al are cross gen games, designed with last gen consoles in mind. This one is a current gen game, being ported downward for last gen consoles. Not even remotely the same thing at all, and there’s no logical reason why this should impact innovation in future titles.

Hell, if it keeps more talent employed and boosts the studio’s finances, then it will benefit you.

 

[Kenpachii]

Could be they made a version for the switch 2 and realized they might as well go the full mile and make a ps4 version.

 

[Topher]

Can't wait for the Digital Foundry Face Off

 

[RAIDEN1]

Is this like the developers trying to take a leaf out of Capcom's book like how they ported Resident Evil to the N64, (when it didn't even look possible?)

He really believe last gen are holding back next gen games, when as you can see this game was indeed a next gen only game, until now.

 

[daclynk]

But WE BELIEVE IN GENERATIONS they said.

 

[Fbh]

Oh boy

Remember this on PS5 ?

To be fair to Respawn they did massively improve the game like 6 months later after several patches.
The screenshot is from the launch version where performance mode ran at like 680p and struggled to hit 60fps.
The current version on Ps5 runs closer to 1080p (though still not quite full HD) and sticks closer to 60fps the vast majority of the time. Turns out disabling RT allowed them to improve the resolution and framerate with minumal visual downgrade in most scenes.

That said the IQ is still kinda trash. Lots of upscaling artifacting when moving.

Brah, this is an EA game. Use your references correctly

And on last gen, they’ll just need to target 30fps.

 

[Physiognomonics]

If this isnt an indication that load of people have still not moved to next gen yet ..

This

 

[MarkMe2525]

Whoa, I'm having dejavu. I thought for sure this was already announced like 6 months ago.

 

[BlackTron]

Is PS4 the new Game Boy?

 

[Barakov]

Can't wait for the Digital Foundry Face Off

I need a chuckle so I'm definitely looking forward to this comparison. It'll be funny if the last gen versions run better than current gen.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Can they next try a Xb360 & Ps3 release?
