On Twitter I see a lot more people shitting on Series S|X than PS5, now I’m no Microsoft fan but that console has far superior backwards compatibility to begin with, and they have plenty of older games with “FPS boost”. Sony doesn’t seem to want to do this and I don’t get why, it’s entirely possible and would probably help PS5 sales.
Worst part is you just know Sony will go out of their way to try and patch around this.
It’s not that Sony doesn’t want to. Backwards compatibility between Xbox 360 and modern consoles is possible because the architecture between them is similar, whereas the PS3 is too different to PS4/5.
I think the hate for Xbox is mostly because they lack good first party titles. Most of them bombed. Remember Halo Infinite and Redfall?
Yes the architecture is different but that’s not the point I’m trying to make. Microsoft are actively pursuing backwards compatibility and trying to make it better, FPS Boost and enhanced resolution are both such prominent features that they’re advertised on the Xbox store for each game that has them.
It’s something Microsoft is pushing for, FPS Boost was developed by the Backwards Compatibility Team, they then work with developers to implement it with past games. PS5 has Game Boost but aside from it just being there Sony isn’t offering the same assistance for developers to improve older titles, if this was an Xbox game you bet Microsoft would be helping to implement FPS Boost and get it to 60fps.
How is PowerPC and x86 similar
On one hand, I can kind of agree and see Sony having the courtesy of having PS3 available to stream if you have access to the classics catalogue. But it sucks it’s a service you must pay for, and that Metal Gear Solid 4 isn’t on there. (Though that last bit may be Konami’s fault, not Sony’s).
Do I need to mod my PS5 to install this? Because I want to install this. Like so bad.
Yup, it’s a hacked PS5

I will never understand why Sony and From insist on never updating this game.
Didn’t even get a PS4 Pro patch, and hackers got it running at 60fps even there, albeit at a lower resolution.

It’s either stupid pride or rights.

The rumor is that bluepoint is doing a remake. Doing a ps4pro update wouldn’t have made more sales and doing a remake on ps5 is gonna make a lot more money than a patch
