PS5 Visual Settings and Performance Features
On PlayStation 5, Toy Story: Retro Roundup delivers enhanced rendering while maintaining original hardware presentation options. Digital Eclipse built several visual and quality-of-life toggles into the core interface:
- Render Scaling for PS1 Titles: Players can toggle PS1 3D games between their original 1x native resolution—preserving raw polygons and dithering—and an upscaled 4x render mode that smooths character models and environmental textures.
- Aspect Ratio and Display Modes: Games can be played in their original 4:3 frame with illustrated screen borders, stretched to full screen, or adjusted to widescreen.
- Display Filters: Visual filter settings allow players to apply simulated CRT curved screen scanlines or display clean, unfiltered pixels.
- Frame Rate and Performance: PS5 performance targets 60 FPS output across modern displays, compared to the 30 FPS cap observed on base PS4 hardware.
Modern quality-of-life tools let players bypass retro difficulty spikes:
- Rewind Mode: Holding a mapped controller button scrubs gameplay backward in real time to correct missed jumps or avoid enemy attacks.
- Save States: Players can save and load progress across multiple slots at any time.
- Rex's Cheat Codes: Built-in menu toggles can activate infinite lives, character invincibility, level skips, and bonus content without manual button sequences.
- Practice Mode: Players can watch guided playthrough replays for tricky sections and take control of the character directly from the replay at any moment.
- Digital Manuals: Localized, high-resolution instruction manuals provide control diagrams and level objectives.
Toy History Museum and Documentary Content
Digital Eclipse structured the menu interface around Andy's room and included an interactive playable documentary mode titled Toy History. This section functions as a preservation archive detailing how the games were developed in tandem with early computer animation history.
The Toy History wing includes:
- Six video featurettes containing over an hour of developer interviews. Featured contributors include Jason Katz (Head of Story at Pixar), Jim Hanks (voice actor for Woody), Luigi Priore (VP and GM of Disney & Pixar Games), Jon Burton (founder of TT Games), and Mike Mika (Digital Eclipse).
- Archival galleries containing concept art, production design documents, and promotional photography.
- 3D package models of original Sega Genesis, SNES, and PlayStation game boxes that can be inspected and rotated in real time.
- A dedicated in-game Music Player containing complete soundtracks from all included titles, including chiptune Game Boy arrangements and PlayStation audio, with custom playlist support.
Toy Story 3 Complete Edition PS5 Details
Players purchasing the physical double pack on PS5 receive Toy Story 3 Complete Edition on the same disc package. Developed originally by Avalanche Software in 2010, the remaster brings the movie adaptation to modern consoles with native 4K resolution at 60 FPS.
Toy Story 3 Complete Edition contains:
- Story Mode: An episodic campaign spanning Andy's Room, Sunnyside Daycare, and the junkyard. Players swap between Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie to utilize pull-string swinging and throwing abilities.
- Toy Box Mode: An open-world Western sandbox set in Woody's Roundup where players take on quests, unlock vehicles, and construct town buildings.
- Unlocked Content: Emperor Zurg is playable in Toy Box Mode across all platforms, removing the platform exclusivity previously tied to the PS3 release. The game also includes four previously released decorative Toy Box theme packs.
- Local Multiplayer: Full two-player split-screen co-op across both Story Mode and Toy Box Mode.
