However, the game almost certainly can’t have this feature on PS5 if it can’t have it on PS4. The significant extra power of the PS5 means that compromise isn’t needed and GT7 would be able to run dynamic time of day and weather at a true 4K60, likely seeing the return of endurance races. PD opted to pre-bake light conditions with ray-tracing, in order to save GPU power for 1080p60 on the base console and 4K60 (checkerboarded from 1800p) on the PS4 Pro with HDR. Gran Turismo Sport was a visual compromise. For the most part this probably doesn’t matter, as it doesn’t for DIRT 5 or Wreckfest, but it could severely hamstring GT7.
This means that if there’s a PS4 Gran Turismo 7, it too should be identical to the PS5 version, aside from different sound, visuals, DualSense effects. Although the PlayStation 5 is outperforming the PlayStation 4 in terms of consoles shipped at the same point in their lifespan, despite the silicon shortage, the simple fact is there’s 110 million PS4s out there right now. While we wait for appropriate confirmation one way or the other - GT7 still appears on the PlayStation site as a PS5 exclusive - the possibility of a cross-gen Gran Turismo 7 raises several questions.
“That being said, it’s also very important to have showpieces for PS5, hence the development of Returnal and Ratchet that are exclusive to PS5.” If they want to go on and play the PS5 version, that game will be there for them. And if PS4 owners want to play that game, then they can. “Where it makes sense to develop a title for both PS4 and PS5 - for Horizon Forbidden West, the next God of War, GT7 - we’ll continue looking at that. But at the end of the day, there are few hoops gamers wouldn’t go through to play their favorite early PlayStation titles on the PS4.“You can’t build a community of over 110 million PS4 owners and then just walk away from it, right? I think that’d be bad news for fans of PS4, and frankly not very good business. There is also a level of inconvenience that needs to be accounted for. While it is possible to play some classic games on the PS4, not all fan favorite titles are available, particularly those from the PS1 generation. Given their previous comments about the lack of interest in backwards compatibility, this doesn’t appear high on their list of priorities.
The only way PS1 games would become widely available is if Sony made an official software emulator that allowed them to sell the classic games digitally. This is generally considered ill-advised as installing illegally-downloaded games can lead to serious legal ramifications, not to mention the danger it can pose to the console itself. As of now, it is not possible to play PS1 games on the PS4 without jailbreaking the console, a process which involves downloading custom firmware onto the machine. However, PlayStation Now does not include titles from the PS1 generation.
