I am under the impression that PS5 game files and PS4 game files are separate.

For example, Last of Us Part 2. The game will work on PS5, but it will play the same way the PS4 Pro version plays. No enhancements since that game doesn’t have a dynamic resolution or unlocked framerate.

For a game like that to take advantage of PS5 additional power, it would have to be a version of Last of Us Part 2 for PS5.

On Xbox Smart Delivery would allow a patch to be pushed through for a game to take advantage without the need of a brand new game file.
Xbox Smart Delivery is literally no different from cross-buy which PS5 will be doing. Smart delivery will just download the XsX version of a game if available.
Several PS4 to 5 games have announced new versions
PS4 Games on PS5 - All Confirmed Upgrades

Cyberpunk 2077 Unconfirmed Unconfirmed Unconfirmed Yes, in 2021
Destiny 2 4K, HDR, 60fps 4K, HDR, 30fps Full HD, 30fps Yes
FIFA 21 Unconfirmed Unconfirmed Unconfirmed Yes, before FIFA 22
Madden 21 Unconfirmed Unconfirmed Unconfirmed
Yes, before Madden 22

Marvel's Avengers 4K, 30fps or Dynamic 4K, 60fps 30fps 30fps Yes
NBA 2K21 Unconfirmed Unconfirmed Unconfirmed Yes, but only if you purchase Mamba Forever Edition

They(Sony) also said at least 100 games at launch will be supported on PS5 and be enhanced but most of the library will work on there through BC eitherway.

This is a very common misconception.

In the grand scheme of things, cross-buy and Smart delivery are the same thing. Essentially you buy the game once and you have access to both current gen and next gen versions.

For devs using crossbuy, you have a time limit as to when you can claim the next-gen version of a game. This is because they have to validate the purchase, you have to prove that you own the game. I believe Madden 21 (for example) is until end of 2020 to buy the game to be able to claim the next gen version. The reason for this time limit is because the game supports crossbuy on both platforms and not crossbuy for PS5 and Smart Delivery for Xbox.

If the game supported Smart Delivery it would not matter when or how the game was purchased for Xbox players. When it is placed into an Xbox it would download the appropriate version (One X, Series X, Lockhart etc)

Link: Madden NFL 21 doesn't support Smart Delivery; cross-buy is a limited time offer - MSPoweruser

In regards to enhanced PS5 games, I will reiterate my point from before. Games that support unlocked framerates or dynamic resolutions can potentially take advantage of PS5 since the CPU and GPU run at higher clocks. So, if the games don't 'break' by running the game logic at higher clocks, it can take advantage of faster hardware. But only for those two aspects. None of the games will have better textures, further draw distance or more particles since those features aren't dynamic.

Haven't gone thru the thread but if you have digital games saved in the cloud

Will I be able to play them on the PS5?

Any answer would be appreciated

Apparently this shyts is 8tb and will be priced at £579 in the UK atleast

Sony already confirmed the hard drive will be 825GB!
8TB of this kind of storage would be insanely expensive. A retail price of £579 is retail suicide, it'll be £500 maximum.
