| curl-6 said: A PS4 version of something like Star Wars Outlaws or Assassin's Creed Shadows or RE Requiem would be theoretically possible; thing is though, it wouldn't look like the Switch 2 version as it wouldn't have access to DLSS or RT support or SSD-level read speeds or larger RAM capacity. It would need to be its own custom thing with less in common with the "full fat" PS5 experience than Switch 2, kinda like say the COD ports to Wii that were rebuilt to specs a gen less powerful. |
All those games have roughly the same minimum requirements as Survivor which was ported just fine, obviously with lower fidelity and performance. So it wouldn't even need that much custom, again same requirements as Survivor which was ported.
Which backs my point. Building hardware tiers based on what games can be played is antiquated and stupid. It made sense in the 90s, but that was a long time ago.
The Steam Deck plays 90%+ the same games as a 5090 (32 gb dedicated vram and 1500 gb/s)... not the same hardware tier.
To be clear those games would look and run better on the S2, perhaps the ps4 pro could get (somewhat) close. But the argument, that many of today's games can't run on the ps4 is false. It could be done, survivor demonstrates this.
