Absolutely this. I've downloaded the PS4 version of cross gen games by mistake. A lot of people will do that and not realize.
They stopped giving shit, i still have this issue where when i put in a disc for a ps4 game that has a ps5 upgrade it automatically starts downloading the ps4 version, even though i've already got the ps5 version installed.
Except every time i have to download a crossgen title the PS5 always asks me which version i want to install.
Stupid Delivery should be trademarked by Sony by now
This so much. Even I with some knowledge of this stuff. Didn't know you have to manually change the settings lol
That, and most gamers don't really give a shit about graphics the way people on forums do.
This too.
That's now. There was a period where you would need to find the specific version you wanted to download. It's been confusing since the start and I'm not even going into the disc versions where the PS4 update download would overwrite the PS5 version. It's better now but it hasn't been gracious.
It has now. It didn't before.I find it hard to blame Sony here it literally has an icon next to the games stating PS4 or PS5 when you hover over it this is more user error
That's true but it also asked what version you want to download idk I guess Sony could have it automatically download the PS5 version it's obviously a problem and everyone isn't technologically sound. They could also have a prompt when playing the PS4 version of games on PS5 warning them that an upgrade is available for free
I guess this means people being able to read.That's what happens when you have Dumb Delivery
And what if that happens to be the ps4 version like with Elden Ring?
I had to still deal with the PS4 version of game pop up on the dashboard every time I insert the disc version of Horizon FW.
I don't think it helps they make it so confusing on the console itself. If you insert a ps4 disc of a game that has an upgrade version, you should just be able to install and see the upgrade version. Instead you can install both, and if you're not paying attention, you'll end up playing the ps4 version. Happened to me with ghost of Tsushima, the way the shitty menu handles it is confusing.
Well it is a PS4 disc I'm guessing, but that does sound inconvenient. I'm all guessing it's still a fairly painless process to get the PS5 version. The most annoying thing was trying to get FFVIIr upgrade, and even worst was the PS+ intergrade upgrade.
Fine. Make that the default then as opposite to the mess that is the current system of downloading 2 games or giving the option when downloading instead of just defaulting to the best/current version.
It is not. It is the PS5 disc version of the game. If that was the PS4 disc I would be okay with that as I would understand that Sony failed to develop a smart system to deal with the issue. But why every time I insert the PS5 disc version of the game I get the PS4 version to download even though the PS5 version is already downloaded?
Ok, that shouldn't be a thing. Whenever I get games from PSN there's a screen that let's you pick which version. I'm surprised it's not the same with a disc.
Exactly. I bet the "notable number of PS5 players playing the PS4 version" of Destiny 2 are playing it by mistake.
if it's advertised as 120hz or 144hz why wouldn't it be running at 144hz to begin with? why does it have to be a setting you gotta enable
For the people that can't advantage of the hz probably. Could they even run it to begin with if was default?
Sadly it is not. I believe it is the same for other PS5 disc games. Insert the PS5 disc version of the game. I get 2 downloads. I delete the PS4 version. Play the game. Eject the disc to play something else. Insert the disc again to play the game. The PS4 version pop up as a download that I had to delete again. Every time. Again, it is just bizarre that this hasn't been patched, unless it is something weird related to my country store that make it does that even though I don't have to go to the store as it is the disc version. Or maybe the country version of the disc. I just don't know.
