Tidigare idag kunde vi berätta om ett nytt Sony-patent för V-Sync som sannolikt är relaterat till Playstation 5. Nu har ytterligare ett dykt upp och den här gången handlar det om ett patent som tycks ha med bakåtkompatibilitet att göra kallat "Remastering by emulation" från Sony Interactive Entertainment. Såhär lyder beskrivningen:
"Each asset such as a texture called for by legacy software such as a legacy computer game software has a unique identifier associated with it. The unique identifier can be rendered by imposing a hash on the asset, and then the asset stored with its identifier in a data structure. An artist remasters the textures for presentation on a higher resolution display than envisioned in the original software, and stores them back in the data structure with their identifiers. The original software is then played on the higher resolution display, with asset (such as texture) calls being intercepted, identified, and the data structure entered to retrieve the remastered asset having a matching identifier. The remastered asset is then inserted on the fly into the game presentation."
Därmed verkar det väl onekligen som att Sony planerar för bakåtkompatibilitet för Playstation 5, eller vad säger ni?
