Well yeah that seems kinda scam, specially when xbox does that for free and I think even PS5 does that free most of the times, right? I can understand more money for the DLC, we can discuss the price, but 30 usd seems like a lot.
About the size of the new island, I get its short, but maybe the missions are in the other part of the map too. Not only in the island. So there are still chances to be a long DLC. I mean, I hope that lol. I want to play this on PC.
Yeah I think they will port it
Yes, all of my PS4 to PS5 edition upgrades were free (except Judgment, it has no upgrade path at all)
and all of them have the same upgrade improvements (higher resolution, higher or more stable framerate etc).
You only have to pay for additional content, like DLC you didnt already own.
So for example Nioh 2 or FF7R base PS4 to PS5 upgrade doesnt cost you anything,
all the next gen improvements are for free. You only have to pay if you want the season pass / DLC
(but only if you dont already own it on PS4)
But for Tsushima they want 19,99 for the island DLC (okay, whatever)
+ 10
just because they added next gen improvements that all the other PS4 games
received for free. As far as its possible to tell at the moment,
they didnt even improve the texture quality or filtering, they didnt improve
the LOD in the distance for grass for example etc.
It seems like all they did was changing the ingame screen resolution from 1440p to dynamic 4K,
they added adaptive trigger features for the bow
and the PS5 version has japanese lip sync.
But not because they made a new lip sync by hand,
its because the PS5 is able to render every cutscene in realtime,
so the AI is able to animate the japanese lip sync in every scene in realtime.
Its not possible on PS4 because the PS4 is not able render every cutscene in realtime
which means they would need to re render the scenes for japanese lip sync and that makes no sense now.
So they didnt create this for the PS5 version, they couldnt get it to work on PS4.
And for that they want 10 USD / € ... come on.
