Hopefully we get more concrete information soon, but for now, at least we know we get a new game sometime this year!

 

Hope they make it for ps4 or pc day1 not gonna burn some cash for ps5 right now NRS.

I would expect Steam - PC on day 1. Last gen consoles will depend and something I'm curious about as well.

Can't see that happening. NRS has always been on the front of the fidelity race in the FGC. I expect it to be modern console only, maybe even not for PS5, but for the rumored PS5+ and high end PCs.

It'll be on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for sure. For PC, NetherRealm doesn't handle the PC ports, and Mortal Kombat 11 was actually far easier on the requirements than Mortal Kombat X was (since a more skilled company handled it's port). A mid-range PC will likely run the game without issue and still look great.

As for a new PlayStation rumours, at best it'll likely be a "slim" version, if even. The cost vs performance of silicon hasn't drastically changed, so releasing a mid-gen refresh right now makes 0 sense, especially considering this generation still hasn't properly taken off.

Digital Foundry expects there will be no mid-gen refresh this generation, and at best we'll get "slim" versions later in the generational life cycle. Time will tell, of course.

 

Well I cracked and bought a PS5 last week so guess I'm set either way lmao.

Nice. The quality-of-life upgrades over last gen, especially the loading times, are great.

So you have any PlayStation 4 games that are "enhanced" for PlayStation 5 that you'll be able to try out right away?

 

loading times are all you need to know to upgrade

I haven't done much but play Ragnarok which is a PS5 game so I can't say. But I have to reinstall the games I want regardless nothing came installed that was already on my ps4. Though the download times are super quick, there's barely any loading time like Jynks said and it's a much smoother experience than the PS4 every was when you get used to the UI. Games look incredible, especially on a good gaming monitor. Don't regret the purchase at all.

Dunno if the image will share in full quality but I'll try:

Very cool. And yeah, just signing in to your account wouldn't automatically download your games. On PlayStation 5, don't you have to download the PlayStation 4 version, then "buy" the PlayStation 5 "upgrade" in the store, and then download that too? I heard that's how it was for DOOM Eternal.

For God of War: Ragnarok, interesting fact: according to the developers, it's actually a PlayStation 4 game that they enhanced for PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation 5. It's not a next gen game but firmly cross-gen like so many other big titles right now.

The only truly current generation game I own myself is A Plague Tale: Requiem.

Edit: Your screenshot looks great, by the way.

No... you just out in a ps4 game and it downloads the ps5 update free. Also, the "upgraded" ps4 games with better textures and stuff are also free. So if you go into a store and see a ps5 version of Doom Eternal for 50 bucks and then see a Ps4 version in the bargain bin for 5 bucks... they are identical, as the "enhanced gfx" are included in the update patch.

 

ahhhh good to know!

 

ahhhh good to know!

you don't even need a Plus Account... just the free one to get access to the PlayStore.

Ah, okay. So if you have the digital PlayStation 4 version of, say, God of War: Ragnarok, do you download that and then go to the store and "buy" the free patch? Or does it automatically download the PlayStation 5 patch?

You gotta download the upgrade I think in the store, if I understood correctly.

 

No... it will download and patch it automatically, but you need a play account to get the ps5 to connect to the internet at all.... playPlus is the subscription one.

 

Oh okay, coffee hasn't hit yet I don't understand anything rn lmao.

 

Cool, thanks both. It's cool to hear how the process works.

@Vslayer Welcome to current gen, both in the console and the PC space. I expect 2023 is the year where last gen consoles will be phased out, so it should be a good year!
