PS5 exclusives*Īs noted in our PS5 one year later - the good, the bad and the ugly piece, the PS5 currently has six exclusives you can only play on the system. They are still the same old games underneath the shiny new veneer. I appreciate that the games look and run at their best on PS5 but those are novelty upgrades for someone who has already played them. Aside from the Iki Island portion of Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, I didn’t play more than 10 or 15 minutes of these and other enhanced titles before moving on to something new. However, if you’re like me, then you’ve no doubt already beaten all or most of these titles on PS4. (Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment) If you’ve never played these games before, you’re going to have a wonderful experience. Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, God of War and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade look and play beautifully on PS5 - with smoother frame rates and higher resolution textures.

#Ps5 ever forward Ps4
We’ve seen a slew of PS4 games get enhanced on PS5. Will we have to wait that long this generation? Seeing as how many upcoming 2022 releases will continue the cross-gen trend, the answer seems to be a resounding yes. It wasn’t until late 2015 that we saw the effective end of cross-gen.

#Ps5 ever forward ps3
For almost two years after their late 2013 launches, most major releases on PS4 and Xbox One were also available on PS3 and Xbox 360. I should point out that cross-gen titles aren’t new. It’s hard for a console to feel next-gen when most of its new releases are playable on last-gen systems. Why? Because that's exactly what they are due to also being available on PS4 and Xbox One. Despite their respectable graphics, titles like Resident Evil Village, Far Cry 6 and Tales of Arise look like last-gen releases. I’m all for more folks having access to games, but if new titles have to also run on eight-year-old systems, we’ll continue having last-gen experiences on new hardware.
#Ps5 ever forward install
From a business perspective, it would be unwise for game companies to only release titles on systems with relatively small install bases - especially when many can't get a PS5 or Xbox Series X due to the ongoing global chip shortage. It releases its first-party titles across consoles, PCs, mobile devices and streaming platforms. This is a mantra Xbox has wholeheartedly embraced. Cross-gen releases ensure that everyone, regardless of system, has access to the same titles. I can’t disagree with that sentiment.Ĭross-gen titles (games released on both last-gen and current-gen systems) are another reason why I don’t feel I’ve truly stepped into the next generation.
#Ps5 ever forward pro
Friends who also own PS5s often joke that the console is a PS4 Pro Plus. This wasn’t a problem in and of itself, but it left me feeling like I had simply upgraded my PS4 Pro, not that I bought a brand-new next-gen system. Why am I bringing up my experience setting up the PS4 Pro? Because I went through the exact same process when making the jump from the PS4 Pro to PS5. I opted for the cloud storage option since it was easier for me. I also had the option of transferring data between my PS4 and PS4 Pro with a LAN cable or via my Wi-Fi network. I signed into my account, downloaded my previous games and saves and was ready to go. Switching over from the base PS4 was a relatively smooth transition thanks to PlayStation Plus’ online storage feature.
