psycho_clank314 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Yeah it has higher resolution and a 60fps mode. However, I don't see much of a difference in the 4k resolution mode compared to the ps4 version. In fact, I am seeing more visual bugs in this game than I did when it first launched on PS4. 60fps mode is what I am playing on now, but everything is blurred due to the resolution scaling down. This "upgrade" just felt half assed to me compared to other upgrades. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastMinuteSavior Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 EA giving away something... it was bound to be either broken or cheaply made. (It's worse for those who are straight up buying it for the first time. Poor bastards.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb5f Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Interesting. I own it but have not started it and was planning to just play the superior version (PS5) once I get a PS5. But if there is really very little difference, I might play it on PS4 anyway and then auto-pop on PS5 lol. Decisions… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anke Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I thought it actually looked/felt/played better on PS4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_obviously Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I would agree with all the above... I played thru PS4 version start of this year and am currently playing the PS5 version... and its not really blowing my skirt up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely plays better for sure due to the increased frame rate. I think the physics and lighting has been improved a bit, but overall it does not generally impress. I notice a lot of frame skips when the cutscenes cut and when you rotate the camera fast you can see the environment popping which really shouldn't happen if its using the SSD well. It all seems like optimization that could be patched, but I don't think we will be seeing that. 40 minutes ago, djb5f said: Interesting.

Decisions… It is probably worth a play on PS5 on the 60 fps mode, but skip collectables and play the story. Then go back to PS4 and do everything else to get all trophies and then you can transfer the save to autopop what you missed on PS5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Remember how broken and shoddy this game was on PS4 at release? Patched quickly, yes, but it was still a mess in the first week or so. No surprise that some will find a re-release subpar too. I don't regret buying it new though, glad to support quality single player stories with no microtransactions and always will be.

Xucien Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Sadly I have to agree, this wasn't much of an upgrade. The picture seemed a little clearer, however when trying to take advantage of this through Photo-mode I found it basically unusable due to the blurring affects on Cal's face at all times (even while stationary). Turning motion blur off didn't really help the situation at all, as there were still a lot of weird effects applied to his face that made any photo attempts from the front pointless. This is however still a very awesome game, and I recommend anyone who didn't play it yet to get to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianSwordsman Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The update was rough to play. Sometimes BD wouldn’t scan people/objects, sometimes he would teleport off my back and start floating around, sometimes I would fall through the map while picking up echoes. Not to mention the entire game the audio didn’t synch so the characters would either talk over each other or the lip-synching wasn’t synced and you’d hear their voice when the scene moves to another person. Free is free though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangisuckatgamin Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hm. I'm mixed with it right now. I've had some frame drops in fidelity mode during gameplay (which I haven't had on many games except when you move the camera back and forth of course). I've also noticed the visual bugs and the textures not loading in very well at times. It's still a fun experience going through it again so far.

knicksrulez220 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I've never played this on PS4 so don't have anything to benchmark this against. But I must say these load times are not impressive at all. If they are this bad on PS5 I can only imagine what they were like on PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetho_mig Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 On base PS4 loadings were so bad that if you were rushing through Kashyyyk the game would freeze a good dozen seconds to load the next chunk of the map. It was THAT bad. Also stable 60fps mode is well worth playing it on PS5 if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNarrator-23 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Played for an hour or so, and decided it wasn't worth my time, which is a shame, because I really like the PS4 game. It loads faster, but overall, there's little to no noticable improvement. Half-assed upgrade that's not worth the money, just get the PS4 version.

yowzagabowza Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I honestly don't know how this game got so much praise. I liked the story and when it was set, but I thought pretty much every aspect of it was janky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
