5 PS4 Games that Got BETTER on PS5 and PS5 Pro.

[@RetroMediaRoom]

PLEASE READ FOR CORRECTIONS AND UPDATES: CORRECTION: I took another closer look at Infamous Second Son and I need to correct myself a bit, so the image enhancement is less pronounced (hardly can tell really) in the "higher resolution" mode which was the way I showcased it, but if you change it to "better frame rate" then you can see the image enhancement toggle doing its thing more, which further proves how it doesn't seem to do much (if anything) to games that are anything above 1080p, and I still think the higher resolution option is better in this case but whatever works for you. Everyone is new to the Pro so we're all still figuring out all of it's quirks, and I'm trying my best to be honest and transparent about it for y'all, because the main point is that these games play better on PS5 period so this isn't a video JUST for Pro owners, any PS5 already does 95% of the heavy lifting for making PS4 games run better. I pointed that out in the beginning and end of the video, as well as stating PS5/PS5 Pro in the title and thumbnail. CLARIFICATION: The toggle in the system settings is "Enhance Image Quality for PS4 Games" and it does not technically say that it's using PSSR in the description, Sony has not officially revealed 100% exactly what this feature (as Digital Foundry put it "I believe it's some sort of smart upscaler") is derived from, some say it's PSSR, some say it isn't, nobody truly knows other than Sony because it's their proprietary technology, I'm in the camp that it's some form of rudimentary AI-upscaler that's a byproduct of PSSR (it behaves in very similar ways, such as digital film noise confusing it) but I'm humble enough to admit I don't know for an absolute certainty, so as a correction, when I say "PSSR", I am strictly referring to the "Enhance Image Quality for PS4 Games" feature toggle only. Do with that info what you will, I'm just pointing out the games that I think have noticeable improvements that I was planning on covering with my base PS5, but then got the Pro and it simply superseded my original plans because the Pro does a pretty good job when it works and I'm enjoying revisiting these games, and that's all I'm going to say any further on the matter.

[@Deccani]

@@RetroMediaRoom easy way is to show it in layman's terms. PS4 Image Quality Enhancer ON and OFF. Because that's the actual toggle in settings.

[@Deccani]

@RetroMediaRoom PS5 Pro is probably the only console which can finally run ps4 games as devs originally intended especially pro enhanced ones. We are still a far way away from PS5 games running as devs intended on ps5 pro that'll probably be possible on ps6 pro, if not base ps6 but seeing response to ps5 pro sony will not push an expensive ps6 probably only a 4080 equivalent gpu with some latest cpu

[@nexornator]

Infamous SS also looks and plays butter smooth in the normal PS5, SS each time I see that game running on my PS5 always ask myself what the hell happened to todays video games seriously, SS is an openworld, has destructible environment, has smoke physics , particle physics , the city coloring ambience is stunning, the lightning effects makes the city look so vibrant and alive even thou there aren't that many NPCs on screen, the detail of the cities are beautiful, the gameplay is so damn satisfyingly to look and play, there is absolutely no current game today and is open world that looks this insane as Infamous SS, maybe on PC you can find something similar but it has to be heavily modded imo.

[@RetroMediaRoom]

Yeah it really does look better than most stuff today, thankfully any PS5 is a PS4 on steroids 💪

[@husen9941]

the different between this game and cyberpunk, rdr2 or current open world game are, the npc you cant interact, no building you can enter, no live progress there like rdr 2 is soooo massive. thats why this game is not that big as rdr or cyberpunk. i only played infamous ss and rdr 2 but not cyberpunk, but from what i watched on ytb and reviews... it is a huggee game

[@RetroMediaRoom]

@husen9941 True, it does give you perspective of how SUPER detailed and interactive Red Dead 2 is, that game is absolutely insane.

[@ToMiBriX]

Yes, because the interacting KI thing is very cpu heavy... and Infamous SS has nothing interaction.

Infamous 2nd Son This is the amazing game that I first played on PS4 that got me back into gaming after a 20 year break, I'm so glad I chose to try this game, and it blew me away with how colourful and graphically great it was (for the time, still looks amazing now!) and it plays like a dream. This game reignited my love for gaming all over again. Sucker Punch are one of my favourite Game Devs, they are up there with the best of the best, you've only got to play Infamous 2nd Son & Ghost Of Tsushima to realise this. Great vid! 👍

Before PS5 pro I play 20 ps4 games backwards on Original PS5 system they're definitely looking great

[@RetroMediaRoom]

Oh yeah any PS5 does 95% of the heavy lifting for PS4 games, it's just extra nice to add that cherry on top with the Pro.

[@ScottX68000]

These games also play better on a base PS5, Infamous and Killzone especially run at 60fps whereas on a standard PS4 they only run around 30 - 40 fps most of the time.

[@RetroMediaRoom]

Yes that's what I said in the very beginning of the video, any base PS5 already does most of what I'm talking about minus the image quality enhancement toggle. I was going to cover these games on my base PS5 anyway, but then I surprised myself by getting a PS5 Pro and after checking out the new feature and liking it, I changed the course of the video a bit.

[@jamajedi]

You can add to this list the game Fairy Tail which I am currently playing, on ps4 pro it is impossible to play because it runs tragically, frames jump between 30/40/60 all the time and on ps5 it is stable 60 fps. It was really heaven and earth when I copied the save and switched from ps4 to ps5 after about 5 hours.

[@RetroMediaRoom]

That's awesome and a PERFECT example of why I made the video 😀

[@jamajedi]

@@RetroMediaRoom You know, they say that a stick has two ends or a rose has thorns. Not all PS4 games run better on PS5, some can't be finished at all or have some bugs. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II on PS5 has a bug that makes it impossible to finish the game and it occurs in about 70% of the game, and it runs worse than the same game on PS4 and PS4 Pro because it has short freezes. Unfortunately, backward compatibility on PS5 is not perfect and has a lot of bugs, this is not Xbox, where all Xbox One games run the same or better on Xbox Series X. Greetings from Poland and I wish you good health.

[@RetroMediaRoom]

Yes as nice as it is when games work, that REALLY sucks when bugs are that game breaking happen, Xbox has been MUCH more consistent overall with their cross-gen/backwards compatibility support, I'll research if someone has a comprehensive list of known bugs like you described because that's important to know. I wish you great health as well friend!

[@saviordream]

I'll have to check out Infamous: Second Son. It was one of the first titles I bought when I got my PS4 back in 2014, but I haven't played it since that time. Now that I have a PS5 Pro it sounds like it may be time to take another look at it.

[@RetroMediaRoom]

You'll love it, and the framerate should be even better if you have a HDMI 2.1 VRR compatible TV or monitor.

[@sirMadMushroom]

I 100% agree with your opinion about PS3 streaming on PS Plus, I've never seen PS3 games look this bad. I still have my PS3 slim hooked up to a decent OLED TV, and difference between the same titles streamed on the PS5 and played on the original PS3 is night and day. If Sony really cares about preserving the memory of these games, they need to do a much better job. For now, it seems like they're trying to convince us that those games looked much worse than we remembered them...

[@RetroMediaRoom]

Absolutely, and thank you for testing that and telling us about it, they need to do better!

While I wouldn't take it THAT far, there are cases such as Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (outside the scope of the video) that's fully utilizing the PSSR and is being praised as some of the best graphical and image quality to ever grace consoles, but as far as PS4 games in the video, all models of PS5s are already able to do the majority of what the Pro is capable of, but that extra image quality that select PS4 games can benefit from is a cherry on top of the Sunday. Finally there are some cases of new and old games that actually look and run worse on the Pro so it's still not perfect yet.

Does the ps5 pisser work on all games or just the ones that have ps5 pro ehanced supported

[@RetroMediaRoom]

Haha I like the Maximilian pisser reference, I call it that too. No not all games, right now only the developers are able to fully unlock the pisser for PS5 games natively, but in the case of these PS4 games the Pro has the AI-upscaler toggle that enhances the game's visuals without a patch, but it varies a lot from game to game so test accordingly.

[@sgonzac7874]

Taking that ramdom game out, all others are good choices.

[@RetroMediaRoom]

👍

[@Y3llowBone]

And normal ps5

[@RetroMediaRoom]

Yes, I addressed that in the very beginning and end of the video that any PS5 does an inherently good job minus the Pro exclusive image quality enhancement toggle.

[@mikekanner2156]

That’s the sad thing about PS5 PS4 consoles they can’t make all games play better like Xbox one X and series X your saying only 5 but when it comes to PC abd xbox series’s X all games play better not just some

[@RetroMediaRoom]

I'm covering a select 5 of worthwhile games, I never said only 5. It is hit or miss so you have to test accordingly. Like 1886 for example, I considered featuring it but the enhancements were virtually unnoticeable due to the game's film noise effects that the AI-upscaling can't do much with so it wasn't a good example to promote.

[@mikekanner2156]

@ I already saw the games on my PS5 that can play better it’s not all of them like the last of us part 1 if I never played it I probably would be interested in playing it Spider-Man 2 I already beat the entire game the PS5 console already tells you what games plays better it’s not all of them Sony is like Konami who doesn’t care making games playing better the true publisher is capcom square enix those publishers are the best in remakes but naughty dogs is a joke no last of us part 3

all ps4 games got better on ps5. not just 5 games...

[@RetroMediaRoom]

I never said it was just these 5, that's not the point of the video at all.

[@Crashed131963]

5? About 150 Ps4 games have the free 4k/60fps patch for ps5 .

[@RetroMediaRoom]

It's a select 5 that I chose to cover, I never said only 5. I don't cover triple digit amounts of games in single videos, that would be either a lifeless list, or a 5 hour long video, so that doesn't make any sense for my channel's format.

[@seancasaus1036]

I knew it was just a matter of time..... PS5 PRO. Is not as bad as people make it out to be cause of the price of course. How much was the base PS5 when it came out $200.00

[@RetroMediaRoom]

It was $500 for the disc model and $400 for the digital only model, IMO the Pro should have been $600 with the disc drive and stand included.

[@Sejuani89]

It’s only 5?? Well that’s extremely disappointing. Hopefully that changes this time next year.

[@RetroMediaRoom]

No no these are just a select five I wanted to talk about, there are more to cover, I can only cover so many at a time 😂

[@IAMthatIAM992]

Shouldn't they all be better on a next gen console?...

[@RetroMediaRoom]

Generally yes, some more or less than others, but sometimes people either don't know, never played, or forget to even fire them back up utilizing newer hardware, when they're even available in the first place.

[@Crashed131963]

@@RetroMediaRoom Even if the Ps4 game does not have the 4k/60fps patch the Ps5 having the faster ssd load times makes it better .

It's capped at 30fps since it hasn't been natively updated by the developer, so it's just stable at 30fps.

[@jacksally09]

I feel like all this video is telling me about ps4 games, not how much better they look or run

[@RetroMediaRoom]

I talk about how they look and play for each and every game, but playing these classic games on new hardware is simply a vehicle to showcase and talk about them, whether you want to re-experience or play them for the first time. The heart of my content is to not only inform, but to simply talk about the games that deserve to be talked about from a retrospective.
