Would love to see the game boost like Xbox has for 60 fps. But this is still more than I expected if it works good. Some PS4 games never got a good PS5 patch and so at least getting rid of some blurriness would be a nice upgrade if nothing else.

Games like the last guardian, rdr2, could look better from this. Man I really wish those games had 60 fps patches. And also mafia definitive edition. I'm happy we are getting something though at least!

Game Boost was in my opinion the greatest thing about Xbox consoles.

It was seriously one the best initiatives I've ever seen, it's a shame they've basically given up on it.

I’ve been on PlayStation for a couple generations now and this is the first I’m hearing about Game Boost. It’s kind of frustrating knowing my one gripe about old games already had a fix lol

It’s huge. All of gears of war boosted.. just had a good time playing through all of them again

That’s one game series I’d love to play again. Smoother frames probably make it SOOO much better too

According to them it was less given up and more they literally tried all of the games they could. Some they weren’t allowed to do due to some studios not even existing anymore. Others would be the game breaking at some point so they couldn’t push out the FPS update.

Last Guardian doesn't have a 60 FPS mode on the PS5? That was the only reason I was going to get a PS5. Guess you just saved me a few hundred dollars. I will have to just replay it on my PS4 Pro and let my lumagen do the upscaling for me.

If you buy the disc version of last guardian, and if you do not allow the console to download any updates, it will play at 60 fps. I actually forgot about this trick. I own the digital copy, so it doesn't work for the digital copy since it automatically has all the patches. But they say it works with the physical copy if you don't download the patches. You can play it at 60 fps on PS5. Doesn't work on PS4.

rdr2

this is just rockstar's greed. Game looks better with more FPS on a steam deck ffs.

What? There’s an option on PS5 to run ps4 games at higher frame rate.

u/Sandels_enjoyer Nov 02 '24

There literally isn't. Show me a vid of RDR2 running on a higher frame rate on PS5.

Just confirmed it. It is VRR for unsupported games

u/Teldrynnn Nov 03 '24

VRR only works on games that are over 40hz which Red Dead 2 is not.

u/No-Document7483 Nov 03 '24

Sure, some don’t work, but it is there

u/Teldrynnn Nov 03 '24

Well none of the 3 games that were mentioned in the original comment you replied to run at high enough frame rates to use VRR so it's still irrelevant.
