For me, PS5 has been solid out of the gate.
It's been refreshing to see it be so stable out the box.

I think it's a bit obvious that the entity "Sony" does not have one rule, since it does not ultimately control what their own studios may want to release. Case in point:I wonder if Sony would have bothered remastering Spider-Man if they weren't already building new (but very similar) tech for Miles Morales. Similarly The Last of Us Remastered was in part a result of the work Naughty Dog did to get their tech working on PS4. In both cases it feels like a case of confluence of timing and re-monetising work.
I will honestly be really disappointed of Naughty Dog spend any more time remaking existing games. They released four new games on PS3 and just two (and a half) on PS4. I want them to make new stuff given their output has halved in one generation. I want them to throw out a cheap and cheerful higher-res 60fps patch for TLoU Part II running on PS5 and move on to something new.

No, things are completely different. PS4 games work on PS5 and some games provide benefits with no changes at to their original code but fundamentally you don't need to remaster PS4 games for PS5 to get nice visual improvements.I don't think that looking at what happened in the last generation is any indication of what might happen in this generation - this applies to Naughty Dog, at least.
Totes agree.You've set out a clear pattern: Remasters - you pay for them. Patches to unlock frame-rate and resolution - free.
There were were plenty of PS3 remasters for PS4 because PS4 couldn't run PS3 games. As I said ealier, I think Sony only bothered to remaster Spider-Man for PS5 because they had spent time building that same tech for PS5 Spider Man Miles Morales. Other than that, we've not seen any PS5 remasters of Sony PS4 but I think we may with HZD.

PS3 wasn't nearly as popular as PS2 or PS4 so there was also a commercial reason to remaster key franchises like Uncharted 1-3 and The Last of US before the sequels appeared only on PS4.
Totes agree.
It remains to be seen if ND and Guerilla go down the 'remaster' route, that's the main outstanding point I guess.
I would also welcome a remaster of Resistance And G-Police from the original PlayStation.I want all the Killzones (apart from Shadowfall) to be re-mastered and for Insomniac to re-master the Resistance series. That would make me a happy bunny
Seeing how Guerilla recently shut down their Killzone website (and with it, any hope for a future title, one could assume), sadly I don't see this happening.I want all the Killzones (apart from Shadowfall) to be re-mastered and for Insomniac to re-master the Resistance series.

An update to G-Police would be awesome, loved that game when I got back into PC gaming; Pentium II 400, Voodoo2 and a Sidewinder force feedback joystickI would also welcome a remaster of Resistance And G-Police from the original PlayStation.

OR maybe cause not many people care enough? And Sony can then sell the back button thingy majig they sold for the PS4 controller to those who do care?So does the DualSense lack back buttons for lack of a few million dollars, give or take? Maybe they'll unveil a Pro controller if they do a Pro model.
The one thing I can't get over is how freakin quiet the PS5 is. I mean it's silent. I've had Control (with RT) running since ~10 this morning and there is zero fan noise. The PS4 would have been doing it's best leaf blower impersonations by now. And it's the same with all the games I've played so far. Superb bit of engineering in the cooling systems!
Providing you don't have a disc in the drive, it's silent. For whatever reason my PS5 reads from the disc every 30mins or so. For no apparent reason. It does this when I'm playing fully digital games and a completely different disc is in the drive.

This is really stupid. It's not possible for the user to swap discs without the PS5 knowing a disc has been ejected so once it's checked it, it really doesn't need to check again unless the PS5 Blu-ray drive sends an eject signal to the PS5.
I keep discs in heir cases except when I'm using them. I don't recall PS4 doing this.
I’ve never heard any disc drive being that loud! How is it even possible?
