OOSponce Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Hey there, I was wondering if anybody has experienced a similar issue to what I'm currently dealing with. I bought the game at launch and platinumed it. Traded it back to Gamestop. I recently picked up the Ultimate Edition on the PS store sale to finish off the DLC but when I boot the game up it doesn't give me the option to continue where I left off. It only allows me to begin a 'New Game.' Its like the Ultimate Edition is its own separate game yet it shares the same trophy list with the original version. My original save data still exists on the hard drive too and I'm still using the same PS4 I originally beat the game on. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Cobbsquatch Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 It's not meant to, it's a different version of the game, same as base Mordor wont recognise Mordor GOTY, or any game wont recognise GOTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OOSponce Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Mordor GOTY has a different trophy stack than the base game though. There is one shared trophy stack for both versions of Control so they are not separate games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordor has a 2 lists one for the launch version and one for the GOTY another example of this is The witcher. So this doesn't make sense at least put out a new list if you count them as separate games. 1 hour ago, OOSponce said: I was wondering if anybody has experienced a similar issue to what I'm currently dealing with.

Thanks for making this post I was about to just pick up the ultimate edition for the dlc I might have to rethink that now not really in the mood to restart another game.

communistwookiee Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I loaded my platinum complete vanilla version save with the Ultimate Edition just fine but with both being physical copies.

(until they were ported to PS4) plenty of other games didn't either. I just can't think of em cos I'm drunk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZBigC Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Are you sure? A quick Google search showed this message on a number of websites: Hi, Thank you for contacting 505 Games support. Unfortunately, save-data from the base PS4 game isn’t compatible with the PS5 Ultimate Edition. The PS4 base game saves are compatible with the PS4 Ultimate Edition, however. Additionally, the PS4 Ultimate Edition is eligible for the free PS5 upgrade, in which the save data will be compatible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abhinandhan22 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Nothing to do with the save since I pretty much assume the ultimate edition (PS4) won't recognize my R2 save of the original game but can I still 100% that trophy list with the ultimate edition or will dlc trophies not unlock since they are different regions. There doesn't seem to be different region lists though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyTrust Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Alot of game saves from physical releases don't work with digital. Maybe physical game copies selled in some countries are "imported versions" or maybe some devs just classify those saves as different Edited January 28, 2021 by leandroxpto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraezr Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Ah shit, I was hoping cross-save would be possible. But then again, it wouldn't be a bad thing to re-learn the stuff after not playing for ages. A couple of the boss fights were rough though.

Is this basically saying if you got the plat on the normal version and want the ps5 plat. You can load up your PS4 save to the ultimate edition on your PS4 first, get that save and then use that new one to auto pop on 5? As we are getting the ultimate edition for both surely this would work Edited January 28, 2021 by mikem192 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as your standard version is the same as your ultimate version (digital & digital OR physical & physical) Depending on how the trophies are programmed it might auto pop or it might not. depends entirely on how the developers programmed the trophy checks.

But now I’m wondering if that will even be possible? ☹️ edit: Just to clarify, I no longer have the disc on which I platinumed this game. What I’m wondering is whether or not I’ll be able to download the digital version of Control: Ultimate Edition (PS4) from PS+, import my base game save file from the cloud, and then use that data to go straight to the DLCs to clean up the remaining trophies.

People need to stop passing that comment around (or referring to it in later posts). That was from October last year - since then the engine and game has been changed and due to that, you can't import any saves from the ps4 versions into the ps5. You'll have to start again.

I read don't work I downloaded the digital Ultimate Edition PS4 version on my PS5. I downloaded the save file from the cloud that was from the physical NA standard disc version of Control. Booted the game and the save file let me continue from where I last finished. I'm not exactly sure how to access the DLC (it's been over a year), but the progress carries on. So to confirm, the save file from the standard disc version is compatible with the digital ultimate edition version, at least in the NA region.

I don’t have a PS5 so I’ll be doing PS4 > PS4, but hopefully it works like it did for you. Your comment has me hopeful at least! I’m downloading the game tonight and will hopefully be able to test it and confirm for people here whether it works or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhinandhan22 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I just tested it but for me it's a R2 physical copy save and the digital is the US copy and the ultimate ed on ps4 didn't read my original file save. Now I just need to know if ultimate ed on ps4(played from scratch) autopops trophies on ps5 ultimate ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the PS4 version on the PS5 instead of the 4 should have no bearing on things.

Certainly that’s not standard. If you went out and bought an R1 physical copy, the R2 save wouldn’t work with it, so really your experience only confirms that saves aren’t compatible across regions. And for point 2, no there is no auto pop. There is no save transfer option from PS4 to PS5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselmanchild Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Well, good news! Once I downloaded and installed the Ultimate Edition, the option to Continue was already there in the menu. It loaded me straight into the game where I left off, with 2 new DLC missions available immediately. So for anyone else wondering if you can use the Ultimate Edition to get 100% after platinuming the base version of the game, the answer is yes. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
