Jeeze damn yeah. If this is a hit, I think that we're on the verge of watching China just absolutely explode out into the console games world.

Not surprised but still kinda sucks.

My PS3 is never getting unplugged, is it

how is it so hard to get backwards compatibility for at least ps1 and ps2 games at this point in time. can you not do software emulation for it, even if it won't work with every game. if my low powered old laptop can run ps1 and sometimes ps2 ones, surely a new console should be able to.

also make it work region free so i can play my japanese ps2 games without having to import/mod a console.

Yeah but that's Ubisoft talking, Ubisoft as in 'we don't have an issue with toxic culture', Ubisoft as in 'we totally pay taxes, lol', Ubisoft as in 'we have surprise mechanics because loot boxes are unethical', Ubisoft as in lying, cheating, trash, well you get the picture. They wouldn't support backwards compatibility unless it was monetised to shit.

Also, hello darlings. <3

Anyway no, I don't believe it will support backwards compatibility beyond PS4. I mean I predicted that so yay?

I wasn't expecting backwards compatibility beyond PS4, but this is still a bummer, especially since it doesn't seem like consoles will even have disc drives after this upcoming generation. In general, it just sucks that games get so bound to console generations (with the exception of PC releases, I suppose, and emulation). Remasters are better than nothing, but them being the only way to play older games on modern consoles is pretty obnoxious, and not all games get remastered - companies only remaster games that will sell.

"supported PlayStation 4 titles" is also a bit worrying - so, uh, which ones aren't going to work?

ForceStealer · Sep 1, 2020

I'm willing to give them a pass on PS3, but there's really no excuse for PS1 and 2.

I would imagine the "supported PS4 games" is just covering their asses in case some obscure game doesn't work. But maybe I'm just being optimistic :shrug:

what i want to know is why can't i play the game archive versions of ps1 games on the ps4 (and i assume ps5 but i don't actually know)

you have this huge library of games just sitting there, waiting for you to make them compatible with the newer consoles. yet you don't, smh sony get it together

i just bought klonoa door to phantomile and i'm feeling bitter that i have to go all the way upstairs if i want to play it or any other game archives titles on a tv and not my ps vita
