id say from would have to patch it first though at least according to this article i was reading

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2020-bloodborne-60fps-hack-tested-the-complete-story

possibly the rumors of a remaster might just be a patch for higher resolution textures for the ps5 and the work done to make it compatible with
60fps and if it is coming to pc a patched version of the ps4 game would the version that releases

Guess we'll have to see on Bloodbourne, but apparently Sekiro runs at a "nearly locked" 60 on Xbox. Hopefully there's a similar boost on the PS side.

I joke a bit, but Bloodborne is the exceedingly rare game this generation that really could soar with a performance boost. I mean it’s one of the best games ever made already, but I’d be truly excited about playing it at 60FPS or even without the frame pacing issues. Same with The Last Guardian come to think of it.

There’s been a pretty solid baseline quality this generation thankfully - even at 30 FPS most games run fine! Even something like Control has an excellent PC version which lets you run it at full potential (plus it has a full next gen upgrade coming). The ones with noticeable, game-damaging issues are few and far between, so those are the ones I’m keen to see boosted.

Yakuza 7 is out on PS4 (and thus PS5 through BC) at the same time as Xbox. I suspect this is more a case of the technical simplicity of releasing the same game as both an Xbox One and Xbox Series game at once, versus needing to do some upgrade work to release it as a full PS5 title.

Probably due to the whole generations vs not generations ideology the two platform holders have going.

I’m very pro the backwards compatibility efforts that Microsoft has led the way on, and I’m sure they’ll continue to do stellar work. But literally the only backwards compatibility question I have about the next gen is whether Bloodborne will play at a boosted frame rate :pac:

Pretty sure like Konami Sega are much more than their videogame division and have their hands in anime and music as well as other industries.

I remember people where suggesting EA where about to buy Sega a few ago under the impression that Sega are quite small struggling company now. They are not. They are still worth billions.

Japanese customers seem highly resistant to buying previous Xboxes no matter how many Japanese exclusives they've got so stuff like Yakuza is just going to languish on there in that market.

Retr0gamer

Rumours of a buy out and they have been in discussions before.

The loss of Sega and particularly Atlus would be quite a bit hit to Sony.

But it is rumours.

Shapey Fiend

I suspect Sega getting bought out by Sony or Microsoft would be terrible for them. They'd just get broken down for parts.

Retr0gamer

Stealth hint at that Sega buy out?

Possibly Microsoft going hard in trying to get a stronger foothold in the Japanese market.

A still image of DOA 6? You know everyone is just wondering how the jiggle physics look now.

Can't watch the video. Did they answer the important question, how Ninja Gaiden Black runs in 4K?

I won't be convinced until I see new game running. The PS4 seems to have gotten stable 30 fps nailed on most games and I've a funny feeling this gen will be locked to 30 FPS again for most games. The graphical advantages going to 30 FPS are just too tempting.

What's the difference in the pics?

Yes, the Series X framerate is a locked 60, whereas the One X version varies between 30 - 40 fps. It'll make all those games with an unlocked framerate in 4k mode look and play amazing.

The One X has that finger censorship

The framerate is all I noticed. Seems like a very solid 60fps on the Series X, whereas the One X flows between 30-45.

The games will need to be updated to push past what you'd see on PC, at least for now. I've no doubt that (expensive, top end) PC will be faster than next gen within a couple of years

Following on from this, it seems Ancel was one of the ones being investigated for toxic behaviour at Ubi. The story, including an interview with Ancel himself, is from French newspaper Libération via Kotaku.

Just heard in a podcast years ago that him and the producer would go to movies all the time at Konami and if the producer hated the film or liked it Kojima was the total opposite. Kojima just seemed to like his generic action film shlock so loved crappy films like the replacement killers, Armageddon or sphere and think they are the next best thing in cinema while the producer would be baffled by his love for them.

I think his hiring of Ryûhei Kitamura to ruin direct the cutscenes for Twin Snakes is telling of his taste in schlock.
