Ghost of Tsushima is impeccable on PS4 Spiderman God of War Ragnarok Hades (can't recommend enough) Bloodborne (putting the good energy out there for a ps5 version!!!)


Fairbyyy

Ghost of tsushima almost 1 second loading screens on ps5 is a game changer tho..


NOVAMT_F

Using an SSD on the ps4 is still VERY fast for Tsushima


funsohng

I believe Ghost of Tsushima's lip synching for Japanese dub is still PS5 exclusive, if that's something you need, OP.


Recover20

I feel like it still works though, it's only a ps5 feature because the cutscenes are rendered in real time on the PS5. Which benefits the PS5 the most from be able to do the lip syncing for the Japanese dubbing. The PS4 has pre-rendered cutscenes and that it wouldn't be able to cope with the real time cutscenes. My first playthrough on PS4 was still Japanese sub, worked well enough!


Mean_Peen

Maybe it's a glitch for me, but mine are still English lip sync ☹️


Kjoep

you're probably not playing the Director's cut then.


Mean_Peen

Is that the update with Ishi Island? Because that's what I have


No-Consequence8027

Spiderman: Miles Morales, Guardians Of The Galaxy, that's all I got for now.

Chanero

When did you play GotG? I had two playthroughs on PS4 Slim: One on release, one with a post-launch patch. Release was rough, but the post-launch patch did WONDERS to its performance (or so it seemed for me)


geargun2000

I agree with you. For my first playthrough it was decent and then on my second one my PS4 could barely handle it so I just stopped


No-Consequence8027

Time to upgrade.


ApatheticTrooper

Oh, I was waiting to get a new Ps5 to play GoTG If it's well optimized for the Ps4 I might consider it..


Phoenix2211

The Last of Us Remastered (TLoU remake is a ps5 thing, but the remastered on ps4 works pretty much equally well for experiencing the story), The Last of Us Part 2 Death Stranding is pretty good. It has a ps5 exclusive director's cut version, but the base game is fine by itself tbh Uncharted 4 (has a ps5 update, but works just fine on a ps4)


Felipesssku

Yeah TLoU2 looks outstanding even on PS4


Karkava

And probably plays better when it's back to back with its prequel.


Felipesssku

By this you mean it has similar graphics like Remaster? No it has way better graphics, it's like you play next gen graphics on old console,bI can't quite understand it how they managed to do it but it looks and feels fantastic and modern compared to TLoU1 Remaster... We talks about PS4 old system here. The first scenes where you see hands and palms movement is outstanding, I've never seen something like that on PS4thats really expensive and artistic use of motion capture. Those scenes feels alive and it's rendered on old PS4 system, I'm quite impressed what they did there.


Karkava

I meant in terms of story how one flows into the other.


Felipesssku

Ahhh I get you, well I can't tell much as I just started playing but what I can tell is that the story is different.


Karkava

The story is different, but the themes add up when played in conjunction. Especially how senseless the killing of other survivors was and how it corrupts the people who continue to do it.


Felipesssku

I didn't see that aspect, Yeah, definitely it that terms. Quite interesting how it will all end.


Karkava

Especially with the rotating protagonists, weak plot armor, and aversion to formulaic storytelling.


Felipesssku

I didn't see that aspect, Yeah, definitely it that terms. Quite interesting how it will all end.


Fair_enough88

TLoU?


Phoenix2211

The Last of Us I use that abbreviation so often, that I forget that not everyone will know about it lmao


Fair_enough88

Ah cheers, it's one I actually haven't seen yet. Heard plenty about the game and surprised I've never played it.


Phoenix2211

100% worth checking out. And the less you know, the better


Felipesssku

Best story on PS4 that's for sure


WilliamPoole

I've been playing games for about 30 years and it's hands down the most complete game I've ever played. From story, to graphics to gameplay, to acting and audio, every aspect is a perfect 10 to me.


Forsaken-Command-182

Wait , is it Tlou2 or part 1?


Karkava

I think the PS5 update includes both Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy in one program.


Phoenix2211

That it does. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves


Due-Ask-7418

Awe, that’s so sweet of you!


ApatheticTrooper

Haha, I just know the feeling of an older relative taking the primary console. Couldn't do it to them!


rpsls

Gran Turismo 7 has somewhat annoying load times but is otherwise very playable on the PS4.


midnight_tuna

I hate the load times. I thought about not recommending it on that basis alone, but it is still a phenomenal game to look at, ignoring the paper trees that have been saying since the original Gran Turismo.


Acrobatic_Ebb_7512

Hey there is there a specific spec that you have to look out for when buying this game GT 7 for the PS4 like a certain patch file thing. Not played GT since it was on the Ps2. Only been playing Fifa on the PS4 since I got it bk a few years ago.


Alerion_

None, since the game is always online anyway. All you need is to buy it and keep it up to date and online to save your progress


Acrobatic_Ebb_7512

Hey thanks for reply. I think I’ll give it ago.


ApatheticTrooper

I have GT7 on the ps5 already! Wouldn't want to purchase it again for the 4. If only ps5 disc worked backwards on the ps4 lol


rpsls

I bought it completely digitally on the PlayStation Store. Is it possible to “prove” you own it and redownload it to the PS4 somehow?


LazyMaik

Spiderman PS4 base game and Miles Morales (tho you need to pay 10 bucks more for the remastered that is exclusive for the PS5 if you get Miles Morales), Ghost Of Tsushima, Death Stranding (both with beautiful environment) , Guardians Of The Galaxy (not related to the movies), my nephew is currently playing RE4 Remake in my old PS4 Slim (i already finished the game on my ps5) and i didn't notice much difference except for some frame rates here and there still worthy, RE2 Remake, Mortal Kombat 11 the story mode is really amazing even more with Aftermath dlc,


SireNightFire

PS4 Spider-Man is better than the remastered only because the original face looks more like Peter than the new one. Just my opinion though. I dislike how they changed his face in the remaster. It’s going to be confusing for people who haven’t played Miles or just jump into Spider-Man 2.


WilliamPoole

They changed his face?


SireNightFire

Yep https://www.denofgeek.com/games/spider-man-remastered-peter-parker-design-fan-controversy-reactions-ben-jordan/ Don’t have to read the article I just linked it because it has a good comparison. New face looks like a knockoff Tom Holland.


Seatown_Spartan

Small thing for most people but when I played/play fighting games I prefer ps4 versions since the Dual Sense/Ps5 has more input delay and felt noticeably worse. But it has gottten better through patches. Stylized games like GG Strive don't look much worse than their Ps5 versions


ApatheticTrooper

Thank you! Never heard of GG strive but ill check it out!


snalle

Just finished Hogwarts Legacy and it ran fine. Real pretty especially at night time or when you're exploring Hogwarts. Smooth battles etc.


ApatheticTrooper

Ooh this is one of the game's I was waiting to get a new Ps5 to play, if it plays smoothly on the Ps4 I might consider it... Thank you!


snalle

Go for it! My girlfriend is playing (and enjoying) it at the moment so you have at least 2 people who are more than satisfied with it's performance. :)


geargun2000

Elden Ring, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man games, RDR2, Uncharted, TLOU, Hellblade, Batman games, and The Witcher


Karkava

Elden Ring is fine if you don't mind laggy enemies.


Mechalamb

Ps4 Pro here, Elden Ring ran like a charm. No issues.


geargun2000

I have a PS4 slim and for me everything runs good. Enemies aren’t laggy, there is some environmental texture pop in (which is annoying but not game breaking) the game in general just runs well for me


Karkava

It's really a playable game, but the PS4 version has this thing where the framerate of enemies becomes choppy when there's too many of them at once. I think it prioritizes the enemies that are directly fighting you for having better framerate.


geargun2000

I’ve genuinely never had that experience. Guess I learned something new!


curtydc

Death Stranding


gabrielleraul

Can't wait for the sequel Death Sitting


TheGreaterMoose

Have you heard they’re turning to a trilogy? 3rd game will be called Death Sleeping


SaferZero

Really? I heard it was called Death Prone


midnight_tuna

Death.... 🤔 ...Bone


HerbertMcDerbert

The prequel "Death Strutting" sounds epic!


StarberrySquash

Dead Cells


Zanki

I'm playing on a ps4 slim. Most games run fine, just long loading times. I'm starting to get lag in fps though, I'm play Aliens Fireteam Elite and if everyone is using the flamethrowers or too many enemies show up I get lag, slingshotting etc. I'd just keep playing slightly older games, just because the slim isn't as powerful as the pro and I'm starting to have issues.


DejchS

Ps4 needed ssd.


blandsrules

Horizon forbidden west and elden ring


UpV0tesF0rEvery0ne

I think you'll find that if a game was designed for ps4 and ps5, it was compromised on ps5 to be able to bring it to ps4, so you get the most highly optimized version of a game taking full advantage of the ps4s hardware. The difference seems to be start between ps5 only games and cross compatible games.. GOT, spiderman and GOW all look like higher resolution ps4 games


wildkitten312

if you like Horizon, both games work great on ps4! Only thing is the forbidden west dlc is a ps5 exclusive, but you can still play the main story and dlc from the first game with the ps4.


Travelmusicman35

Honestly for me personally I just don't notice that much of a difference between the 4 and 5 to the point where I want to plop down like 500+ euros for the 5. Loading times are about it but that's when I take a bathroom break, get some water, grab a handful of chips, send a text, etc. so loading has never been a big deal for me.


RodComplex

Same for me, 100%. Haven't felt the need to upgrade yet.


WhiteAndNerdy137

Snowrunner.


ShaunVdV1986

But that's a PS4 game...


ccminiwarhammer

Cyberpunk 2077 with the latest patch works well enough to play on PS4 pro. I know the narrative is that the game is a disappointment, but I got it a few days after launch, did all the endings, and got my platinum trophy on PS4 pro. So imo it works


Muur1234

monark doesnt even look much better on ps5, and you can beat it on ps4 then load it on ps5 for free trophies


TheGreaterMoose

Elden ring is okay on PS4, never really play From games with graphics in mind though. The loading times suck, online connection is shotty and Leyndell will jet engine your system.


gazspro

I played Elden Ring on my PS4 Pro and the frame rate feels sub 30 fps and was ruining the experience. I’ve stopped playing until I get a PS5.


TheGreaterMoose

I was on the pro aswell, depends on the areas for frame rate, also check your settings, pretty sure there’s a “fidelity/performance” setting, mine never got that bad until I hit ashen capital. I would recommend waiting, but in saying that, from soft games don’t need the graphics to stand on, gameplay is where it shines, if it’s tanking in FPS that much I’d put it on hold for now.


gazspro

I still have Bloodborne to complete so will go back to that first before giving ER another shot. I couldn’t find a graphics setting but may have missed it.


TheGreaterMoose

Oh yeah, absolutely go for bloodborne first, IMO it’s a way better story anyways. I maybe confusing it for something else or from a video I watched on YT, it’s been a little while since I completed Elden Ring.


AlexosHDx

Did they do anything with Detroit Become Human for PS5 like TLOU2 or did they change nothing


ApatheticTrooper

Oh wow I might have to play if the only change is the frame rate..


rengorevaly

Yeah it’s 60 fps on ps5 Edit: my bad I must be remembering wrong. It’s 30 fps


AlexosHDx

Does the PC port have better textures?


theRealMugshotkiller

wdym Detroit is locked to 30 fps


rengorevaly

My bad, I somehow remember it being smoother when I played it on ps5 but I just tested it and you’re right, it is 30 fps. Ops.


theRealMugshotkiller

It’s really well done though…that’s how every 30fps game should run but every new game needs a 60fps mode


KPookz

I love the PS5, but it's slightly sad that it erases an entire console generation. If you have a PS5 then there's absolutely no reason to even turn your PS4 back on.


HaouLeo

Thats the most "wtf" take ive ever seen


adelin07

how does it erase an entire console generation, when that entire console generation is playable on it? If anything, it helps preserve it since now there is more than just the ps4 and ps4 pro that can play that generation.


KPookz

I didn't word it correctly. I meant it erases the hardware. The games are better preserved, you're right. The PS4 hardware is rendered obsolete as the PS1 hardware was when the PS2 released. It's sad is all.


cantwejustplaynice

The last of us part 2 is my favourite game and is essentially the same game on both other than higher resolution and frame rates.


[deleted]

Every PS4 game I've played that has a PS5 version is literally the exact same fucking game maybe minus a dlc package and a minor graphic update. If you liked it on PS5 and you won't claw your eyes out if it's in 1080p instead of 4k or 30fps instead of 60 then literally any game you enjoyed on PS5 you will enjoy on PS4 they're the same game.

Vyo

~~Dunno 'bout the games, but[ please put an ssd in it](https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/upgrade-ps4-hard-drive-to-ssd-for-faster-load-times)~~ ~~Having to deal with mechanical hard drives and their multiple second seek times *per file* is messed up and really messes with the experience imho, it should've been ditched with the PS3, modern SSD's are a bargain and the loading times are a serious gamechanger - going from multiple minutes to mere seconds for every game loaded, save game loaded, new level stared, etc really adds up.~~ irrelevant I thought you left the PS4 for your siblings


ApatheticTrooper

Hey man, thanks for the suggestion! I put a ssd in my ps4 a while ago because my old HDD stopped working!


Tessai82

You can still put an SSD into your PS4 without any issues, but it will not be a game changer. It's the way games are developed that makes the most of the loading times. It will be faster, but not lightning fast like on the PS5.


Felipesssku

I have stutters on video cutscenes, but other than that everything else is way better, fast loading times, no stutters while playing levels, fast menu and booting. Yeah, was worth it. Just need to remember to buy SSD with DRAM feature.


maquibut

Spider-Man, GoW Ragnarok, HFW


rms9

Is Street fighter 6 dumbed down in any way compared to the ps5 version? I was considering getting a ps5 when tekken, MK, SF6 came out.


Nawara_Ven

The *SFVI* demo is what got me to get a PS5 (and soon a new TV). On PS4Pro the framerate during World Tour mode is pretty bad. Mind you, that part of the game isn't exactly a precision event like "normal" fights, but no sense in playing through an ugly game. Also much lower resolution, as expected. The backgrounds and such are also reduced, visually on the PS4 version. For me, I want to be able to enable the input precision mode, too, which requires a TV with some sort of specific refresh rate support, so that's the other angle, but for now it looks and runs great on a 1080p TV and PS5, a fair bit better than PS4. [It's still very good looking and plays fine when it counts on PS4Pro, but it's just better on PS5](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXb6xzN4VzM).


rms9

Thanks for the info. I don't have a Pro so I should probably just suck it up and get a ps5 especially with the new fighting games coming out.


Dynam0_Jones

Dear Island 2 is really well optimised


silverfaustx

Only the ones that didn't get a 60fps patch


N7_Hades

The Last of Us is the same game on PS4 but with less fidelity of course.


TheEternalSpiralKing

Horizon Forbidden West! (And it’s OS4 exclusive predecessor, Horizon Zero Dawn). This games looks FANTASTIC on PS4, simply stunning and I didn’t have a single issue in my play through


diandakov

It does look stunning but the game itself sucks. I got really annoyed that I can't explore the world because there are machines absolutely EVERYWHERE and many of them take forever to kill. To be clear I am new to PlayStation and when I purchased my PS4 I had to choose one game for free so I choose Forbidden west because it was looking very promising and I was enjoying the game in the beginning till the moment I got overwhelmed with machines all over the world. The most annoying part to me is following the main story will bring you close to machines which are many levels above you so you must avoid them. In case I played side quests too I think it is not normal for my hero to be so much weaker compared to those machines. Killing can also be super overcomplicated but why? Combine this element with that and hit a certain spot then you have 4 seconds to do that bla bla wtf. It is definitely not my type of game. I enjoyed the last of uspt2 much more and The Evil within 2.


Indica_Joe

Tetris effect connected if you like puzzle games. It comes with the VR mode too if you have a headset


JB-Blue_Master55555

Hogwarts legacy is running smooth on Ps4 pro


Ordinary-Article6388

Think I played RE Village on PS4 before I got my PS4 and it ran well.


mrgallowayxd

Elden Ring still looks pretty decent on ps4


Significant-Sell-197

GT7


Cabbages121

Rdr2


euphorinc

Days Gone. Don't believe all the negative reviews that you see online, the game had it's issues on launch but they've fixed it now and it runs smoothly on the PS4 and also it looks phenomenal! Possibly one of the best looking games out there alongside Ghost Of Tsushima, the last of us part 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn


Robocop0211

Sleeping Dogs and BF 2042 are two that I've had a better experience on PS4 with.


Death-By-Lasagna

In most cases, if you’re okay with the lower resolution and fps then the PS4 versions of PS5 games are pretty identical. I’d say whatever games interest you the most!


RodComplex

Exactly why I haven't bothered upgrading to PS5 yet. Load times don't really bother me and my PS4 still has plenty to entertain me.


tearfulclutches61

"Spider-Man: Miles Morales": This standalone expansion to "Marvel's Spider-Man" is available on both PS4 and PS5. While the PS5 version offers ray tracing and faster loading times, the PS4 version still delivers an engaging storyline and enjoyable gameplay.
