I'd really appreciate the same game in 60fps and some of the bad texturing fixed from the slums areas.

Thoughts?
They'll more than likely release an upscaled port of part 1 for the PS5 once we're approaching the release date of part 2, and release another port as part of the All-In-One package after the final part has been released.

Of anything, this will give the PC players more gloating power unless Sony works a deal to make sure the PC release for later episodes is postponed until a much later date.
It depends on how long SE is planning to milk this cash cow. If they plan to make it a trilogy then they could easily complete it by the end of next gen. Anything more than four parts will probably be pushed into the generation after.
