Daudastund 0 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) As on PC this game is flawless, on PS4 you take more time looking on the loading screen than actually playing this damn game. I know it is an Obsidian thing, since there is no issue with Divinity Original Sin 2. So I guess it will make no difference at all..

Boeroer 14,979 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) You can't compare PoE/Deadfire with D:OS I/II when it comes to loading times. The first are 2D/3D hybrids that have huge high-res, pre-rendered handdrawn images as maps that get filled with 3D objects while the latter are a pure 3D games. Naturally loading those high-res pictures from disk takes a lot longer than rendering some 3D-objects which the maps are composed of (which doesn't include a lot of I/O). That's the reason why SSDs improve PoEs' loading times drastically. If PS5 has a SSD then it should load PoE games a lot faster. Still not as fast as lightning but it's a noticable improvement. This is already true if you buy a SSD for the PS4. Edited September 23, 2020 by Boeroer Quote Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to post Share on other sites
thelee 1,870 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) PS4, on top of defaulting to an HDD, is also a 2013 system, and I don't recall it being a a cutting-edge processor for 2013. Relevant because IME on playing Deadfire on many different machines, the graphics can be tuned to be ok for many different systems, but it is consistently cpu constrained (unlike DOS2). PS4 is an old platform. PS5 is a 2020 machine and defaults to an SSD. I would imagine that the difference between Deadfire on a PS4 vs a PS5 might be night and day.

Tencatta 5 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I do not know if they have a development team that will make a PS5 version since they aren't doing it, right? I got the impression VS EVIL was making these ports, and I don't think they're going to spend more $$$ on them after their first efforts weren't so great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The game should be playable in a compatibility mode on ps5. But some features might not work properly. No compatibility by developers needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tencatta 5 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I feel like without some developer support, the chances of PS4 compatibility mode for titles is an iffy thing, and I know Obsidian has distanced themselves from their own console ports and didn't work on those anyway (or really support them much, especially with VS EVIL as the publisher).
