They haven't solved it until it's implemented at the OS level and requires no extra work from the developer.

CaptainHenry9161004d ago

I agree with you but ghost of Tuishima was so easy to transfer the PS4 data to the PS5 effortlessly. I thought the PS5 was the Series X LMAO

can they not just use cloud saves? and then you just download your save when launching the game on PS5?

IRetrouk1004d ago (Edited 1004d ago )

Probably another update away

Z5011004d ago

Cloud saves are behind ps+

IRetrouk1004d ago

Yeah but at the moment, you would still have to download the cloudsave and then do the transfer process, he's asking why sony can't just do it as its downloaded from the cloud like ms does.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1004d ago

I don't understand why Sony didn't just do the same as MS wh n it came to this. It's absolutely ridiculous the trouble I have to go through just to transfer a save file from PS4 to 5.

IRetrouk1004d ago

Transferring the files from 4 to 5 is the easy part, getting the ps4 save working on a ps5 version is the problem.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1004d ago

None of it is easy when it requires me to do more than just simply install the PS5 version of said game. It's just a mess

IRetrouk1004d ago

Oh no, its very easy to download any save file you have on ps4 to 5, the only issue comes if they done a ps5 version of the game, which is deff an annoyance, now it seems easier for ya👍

GhostofHorizon1004d ago

Really? Couple minutes and few click is causing you that much grief?

IRetrouk1004d ago

Yeah I don't get it, I downloaded all of my saves on day1 before even getting a game loaded lol, the only issue is some of the ps5 versions of games wouldn't work with those saves or you had to convert them first, its an annoyance for sure, but nothing so dramatic lol

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1004d ago

When compared to how easy it is on Xbox yes it is. It shouldn't be a process at all but feel free to defend this BS.

IRetrouk1003d ago

Who defending? I'm sorry that common sense hurts your feelings so much🤷‍♂️

chicken_in_the_corn1003d ago

I wish they would change the transfer system for Spider-man. I traded in my PS4 version before downloading the PS5 version

ps5 keeps up with the best on this one. GOT:2 is going to be reeeedicolous

Cacabunga10h ago

To me RDR2 still is the most detailed game ever made.. everything is better in that game.

Babadook75h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Disagree. TLoU Pt2 was more detailed, at least when compared on console hardware.

StormSnooper1h ago

TLOU2 was head and shoulders above. But I’m not sure why we are even comparing these top notch games when they all offered us a level of excellence not common in gaming.

Sonic188112h ago

This is my first time ever playing this game and I'm enjoying the PC version

Cacabunga8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Amazing gameplay mechanics and soundtrack

Sonic18815h ago

Absolutely. I can't believe I missed out on this 🤔

VariantAEC38m ago

Sorry that you did miss out on it. Console gamers were eating well on the PS4 and on PS5. At least you get to experience some of these games now.

DustMan7h ago

People even get downvotes for saying they play on PC. LOL. Same boat as you man. It's fantastic on PC.

Gamingsince19815h ago

They have 1 disagree in 6h ..........yeah all those disagrees 🙃

Nittdarko12h ago

As a PC gamer, the difference is negligible for a $2500+ machine vs a $500 PS5 and considering its part of PS+ the $70 price tag is crazy

Einhander197211h ago

So what you're actually saying is that the PS5 and PS+ are a great value, right?

VincentVanBro9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

its $60 on PC and runs great on a $300 gpu (a $700 PC runs it perfectly w/ higher settings than PS5 and still 4k 60fps), no need for something even close to $2500 for this one. Also, this isn't the game to measure the difference between $2500 pc and ps5, its an updated ps4 game. Try Cyberpunk 2077 w/ path tracing or Alan Wake 2 to see the real difference.

Babadook75h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Where do you get such a PC for $700?

As for Cyberpunk I'd say that was poorly optimized for console hardware.

Number1TailzFan2h ago

Exactly, even DF showed Alan Wake 2 running on a 3080 with a 2x performance increase (over 100FPS) vs a PS5 at similar settings.

just_looken2h ago

You are 100% right 5yr old pc can easily match the god tier ps5 console everyone jerks off too.

The game also has no intrusive drm runs great on pc another dam good port job.

andy858h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Now I've gotten into PC gaming I've noticed it is. The difference between ultra and console settings is something you'd only really notice much side by side. Certainly not when in full flow playing. (Apart from proper RT games) The only proper advantage is the frame rate, which when you go above 60 its very negligible anyway.

DustMan7h ago

Exactly. I've come to notice the difference between Ultra/High, and even medium settings sometimes can be hard to notice unless you're deliberately looking for the differences as well. A lot of folks seem to think you need a $2000 GPU to enjoy pc gaming when a midrange card that costs similar to a new console can perform exceptionally well for years.

VincentVanBro5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Depends on the game. Baldur’s Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, Helldivers 2, and many others are substantially better on PC if you have the computer to run them at max settings.

andy853h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Bought BG3 again on my Laptop because I loved it that much, honestly it's barely different. Obviously higher frame rates. But a CRPG is certainly not something you need over 60 on. CP2077 I'd agree because the full RT and PT on that is awesome. And AW2 on console is stunning anyway. Like I said it's mostly about frame rates not how the game actually looks

Number1TailzFan2h ago

60 -> 90+ FPS is not a negligible difference, many people can see and feel the extra smoothness, but each to their own.

andy852h ago

True everyone's different but it certainly is to me. There's only a small difference visually to me at 144. Every single day if the week I'd be pushing the settings to max to play at 60 locked rather than drop fidelity for over 60 fps.

just_looken2h ago

Sorry but native 4k 120hz on a 58ich screen maxed out no dlls/fsr shit is way better than a glorified tablet aka ps5 using every upscale crap tech out there.

andy851h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I was with you tbh until you said glorified tablet. That tablet produces stunning games for it's price. Forbidden West Burning Shores is still the best looking game I've ever played. Native 4K doesn't suddenly make a game worlds above anything. It's a massive waste of resources. I play in 1440 on my monitor and it looks just as good as my TV with the screen size.

This was a game released on pretty old PS4 hardware. I'd hope it'd come close to PC parity. I waited for the PC port before playing it on PS+ on the ps4 and I'm glad. This game may be the most optimized out of the box day one pc release I've played in a long time. So happy Sony is bringing their top quality games to PC. Even if some time later.

jeromeface8h ago

clearly a port of the ps5 version (directors cut)

DustMan7h ago

Sorry. I don't pay attention to the PS5, only console of theirs I've decided to skip. Not for any particular reason. Just between the PC, and old ps4 pro I can't validate getting one. Even better that the PS5 version runs perfectly (for me) out of the box without waiting for patches. Still, the system requirements are quite low, and that's what made me assume. Just very well optimized then. Must have learned a lesson from the terrible state The Last of Us launched on PC.

anast10h ago

It's crazy how well the PS5 runs compared to systems that cost 4xs more.

VincentVanBro9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

This game is effortless for even a cheap PC to run though. 4060 ti runs the game max settings in 4k at roughly 60 fps and is only $300 on sale, processor and everything you're talking no more than $600-$700, so definitely not even close to 4x cost. A pc that is 4x the cost of PS5 will run Cyberpunk 2077 path tracing and Alan Wake 2 path tracing at over 100 fps, try doing that on PS5. Another example is how awful the Helldivers 2 PS5 version looks compared to max settings on a good PC. I think you are overestimating the cost of the PC equivalent of a PS5.

anast8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Building a PC that will run 4k at ultra settings at 60fps for $700 is a myth. It cost about $1600 if the price is right. If not, it will be another $400 on that.

The PC they used for this is top-shelf.

purple1018h ago

it is a ps4 game though, directors cut just added improved lighting and 60fps for ps5,

when got:2 comes out and runs still efortlessly on ps5, we will see the value perhaps;

VariantAEC6m ago

Lemme get this straight... $300 just for the CPU. And $400 for the OS ($99), motherboard ($109), case ($74), SSD ($84), RAM ($64), and GPU ($-30? Um...) combined (excluding the price of a the game, and human interface devices like TV/monitor, KB/M, and mic/speakers). Yeah, I mean if you make a gaming PC with no GPU and even cheaper components than I listed the prices for, it could come in at $700. Otherwise it will cost at least $1,100 to run modern games including PS4 games updated for PS5 like Ghost of Tsushima: Directors Cut.
