shocking news. this whole smart delivery nonsense is just PR speak to confuse people.
So there is a boost mode on PS5 BC?
PS5 version is going to be a crossbuy later on but it's not launching on PS5 then?
But the game in PS5 should run on BC mode, so the patch should be something akin to the PS4pro patch which would point to a boost mode for PS4 games in PS5.A next-gen patch is going to be available for free for PS5 if you buy the PS4 game.
As i understand, the key difference with xbox games it's the forced use of this abstraction layers system that they are using to make games run natively in the xbox ecosystem, so a xbox 1 game would run on a xbox series x as if was made for that console. Assets quality aside ofcourse, but the game would be able to boost performance accordingly without modifications because it would not be just emulated.Exactly but people don't seem to understand it. MS can't force 3rd party into smart delivery.
There are three BC modes in PS5.So there is a boost mode on PS5 BC?

PS4 games needs patch to run in PS5 native mode.But the game in PS5 should run on BC mode, so the patch should be something akin to the PS4pro patch which would point to a boost mode for PS4 games in PS5.
PS4 games don't just run in PS5 as native tittles. And since the wording implies that a proper next gen version will become available later, i think that a boost mode of sorts it's what they are hinting at.
Nope.As i understand, the key difference with xbox games it's the forced use of this abstraction layers system that they are using to make games run natively in the xbox ecosystem, so a xbox 1 game would run on a xbox series x as if was made for that console.

so xbox s x also runs a xbox one mode like the PS5 and it's PS4 modes?Nope.
What do you mean? they picture in original post says that CDRP are preparing the new version and releasing it in 2021. there is no backward compatibility here.I kind of knew it was possible on the PS5. Unfortunately it's up to developers to implement it. Probably the first real example we have of PS5 Native BC mode.

There are three BC modes in PS5.
PS5 mode.
PS4 Pro mode.
PS4 mode.
The two late modes works for all games without any patch/change.
PS5 mode needs the game to be patched to use the available power of PS5.
CDPR is talking about that PS5 mode.
CDPR has marketing deal with MS so they can talk publicly about PS5 or PS4 version... that is why people though there is only Xbox SmartDelivery option and nothing to PS5.
here is what the actual leak says and not he interpretation by the title creator:"it is confirmed that the day one next gen patch will not be the last update. At a later time a 'more robust next gen update' (remaster) will become available (2021-2022) "
Sounds like the 1st patch is the Native PS5 BC mode while the next one is the PS5 version.
here is what the actual leak says and not he interpretation by the title creator:
" Next-gen version is planned for 2021, "more robust update". will be free of charge for those who own last -gen version."
this sounds like they will release a ps5/xsx game version. It is not a backward compatibility program for neither of consoles.
even if there is a simple patch at released, there is no where were it says it will run the game as ps5 native mode. I don't expect much either for xsx as well.But the next gen versions come later though. When the game comes out a simplified patch will be released. That's what understand by a simple patch versus a more robust one.

So the only "next gen" version of CP2077 releasing this year will be playable on PC?
Looks like on PS5 you can get native support on PS4 games with patches (supposed PS5 native profile on the Cerny captures). If this is true is better for me that "smart delivery", because this could bring patches supporting better resolution and framerate for older games such as Sony games, Witcher 3, etc
It's called backward compatibility and it's been a thing on XBOX One for half a decade now.
And how exactly will this work on PS5? From GDC presentation I understood that only top 100 PS4 games will work on PS5. It's far from "native support".Its not the same technology. Xbox One its not running the same binary game you have in 360 dvd, its downloading a special compatible and compiled version for Xbox One . That means, only selected games you can play.

Just to add.No, 100 games was tested on PS5 native mode at time from GDC presentation. There are 3 modes, PS4 mode, PS4 Pro mode and PS5 native mode (using all console power), Sony is testing for using PS5 native mode at most games, games not compatible on this mode will need patches or using the other 2 modes.
