Why is there no backwards compatibility? There's a lot of games on the ps3 I want to play but cant
>>
Because you can get a PS3+E3 flasher for like $100
>>
Because then they wouldn't be able to sell you the game at full price, plus keeping costs down after the PS3.
>>
Because the PS3's architecture is really unique. In order to make PS3 games work on PS4 they would have add a bunch of extra hardware into the 4's, which would make them more expensive.

Thankfully Sony learned their lesson and made the PS4 with more accessible architecture. If the PS5 has the same architecture than the 4, then expect PS4 games to work on it next time around.
>>
>>377459141
this. Why let masses re-use their libraries, when you can just make'em re-buy it all?

on top of that: keeping unit costs as low as possible. Even at 559$, PS3 caused losses to Sony

I kept my ps3 so I don't care. It's nice having a bluray player/netflix box in both the bedroom and living room anyway.

>I kept my ps3 so I don't care. It's nice having a bluray player/netflix box in both the bedroom and living room anyway.

Not to mention it can also play CDs.. which I found out the hard way PS4s dont when I bought the new Gorillaz album on CD, tried to play it on my PS4 and it told me the disc couldn't be read..

The PS3 is seriously the ultimate entertainment media box.

Nope, it can't.. I dont know the reasoning behind not implementing that feature. I realize not alot of people play music on CDs anymore, but some do. The only reason I can think of is having to pay some kind of royalty which is not worth it to Sony for the amount of people using CDs, but thats just my guess.

>>
>>377462265

Yeah I did. I'm up to date on firmware and everything. Still can't play CDs. A quick search on google tells me the PS4 indeed cannot play music CDs.
>>
There is, but it's worse than the XBone's BC in almost every way.
>>
>>377460037
I should add that there's nothing better than having consoles on all of your tvs OP. I would really suggest buying a ps3 if you have 80-100 bucks or so. Remember every single model is backwards compatible with ps1 even if you don't want to hunt down a decent working fat with ps2 capability.

Between my ps4, ps3, and 360 I'm also covered with ps1 and a box of OG xbox titles as well. It's great.
>>
>>377462436
The only upside is you can play from your PC and xbone BC is console only....but yeah, it's shit.

>>
>>377462341
>How the fuck is that even possible that they found a DVD drive that can't play CDs

I'm wondering the same.. it all goes back to Sony somehow having to pay royalties to someone for the playback feature. It's the only reason that would make some kind of sense for this basic feature.
>>
>>377462994
This is fucking rediculous - I'm installing Destiny and it has moved 2% in 10 minutes in "preparing to download"

From googling, allegedly it's doing a file hash on everything locally first to figure out the diff between the latest patch and what you have. But the speed is fucking bullshit.
>>
>>377462642
"preparing to download" IS actually downloading, its just a shitty version of it where it adds a patch to existing content and it royally fucks you over if u want to pause and restart because then instead o resuming, it starts from the beginning.

but watch. after its done "preparing to download" it doesnt even take a minute to finish the rest of it.

PSN speed has always been shitty and will always be shitty. Japs unironically still use fucking fax machines in day to day business there.

later ps3 models can emulate ps2 games from isos, just not from a physical disk. that's why you can buy ps2 games digitally.
they could let you download an emulated version of the game and use the disk as a check that you own it, which is what the xbone does with 360 games, but obviously that means you could use your own games instead of having to rebuy them for full price.
>>
>>377467095

If the PS4 had the cell then PS3 BC could've been possible.

the later models can still emulate them.

>>377467095
I might be reading your post wrong so forgive me if I am but are you suggesting the PS4 could emulate ps3 titles? Because given the absolutely fucktarded architecture of the PS3 I can't see how that would be possible other than the way they're doing it now, with ports and streams.

Hell a PC can't even emulate that clusterfuck for shit.

>>377466310
While this does have a bit of a basis in fact sometimes HD remasters are worth it given the sales PSN sometimes runs.
For instance I got TLoU remastered on sale for 9.99 on PS4 which included Left Behind which I hadn't played yet. I already had TLoU on PS3 and they were charging 9.99 for Left Behind.

So really I just bought Left Behind for the same price and got an upgraded copy of the game as a bonus.
>>
I've been thinking about getting a scorpio when it comes out, assuming it's just an xbone that runs multiplats at PS4 level. I'm not too impressed with the backwards compatibility list though, there's no Dragon's Dogma support. Like how do you look over one of the few gems of 7th gen?
>>
So they can resell you all those PS3 games as 'remasters' and shit.
>>
>>377467919
Dragon's Dogma bombed with normies, it's way down the list on M$'s priorities.

And if Capcom's participation is needed for some reason then you can pretty much write it off as never going to happen.
>>
>>377468315
I still think there's hope since they're apparently still adding onto their BC list. Just saying though no Dragon's Dogma BC support no Scorpio purchase from me.
>>
>>377468120
The Nathan Drake Collection and Last of Us remastered were both pretty good values to be honest. The jump to 60 fps alone was great. There are far more egregious remaster exploitations than the Sony's IPS.

Looking at you Gearbox.
>>
>>377468676
I don't know what platform you play it on but presumably you already have something. Do you need to sell whatever that is in order to afford the Scorpio? Because if not there's no real reason you can't roll the dice.

>have to switch between LAN and wifi every 15 minutes or so during downloads to get full speed
Sony is retarded
>>
>>377467919
It's more amusing that Capcom went through the trouble of porting the game to PC but didn't put it on XBone/PS4.
>>
>>377459501
This they would have needed to include PS3 hardware like the original PS3 fats which included some of the PS2 hardware.

Still does not entirely excuse them though because MS has backwards compatibility through custom emulators but I imagine emulating a PS3 would be way harder than a 360.
>>
>>377464571
Makes you wonder where the fuck your money for online goes
>>
There's like a 99% chance that the PS5 will have BC, right?
>>
>>377459057

Yet it runs like shit like the Og PS3. Xbone has games running better on BC
>>
>>377459002
PS3 had obscure architecture and PS4 isn't nearly powerful enough to emulate it. So they'd need to include PS3 hardware in PS4 in order for it to play PS3 games.
Problem is, we're 4 years into the PS4 gen now and they got the price down to $250 for slim with a 500GB hard drive, and for PS3 the lowest they could ever get it is with 12GB of flash at right around $200 and that's after it's been out for 11 years now.
So best case scenario they get the price of PS4 down to $600 at launch and don't lose too much money on each unit sold. Remember what happened last time they launched a backwards compatible console at that price?
>>
>>377469652
Assuming they don't go full retard with special snowflake hardware like the PS3, yes,

don't have a ps4 yet, but still play ps3 fairly often.

>>377469710
I think people not being more vocal is a bad thing, we need to let them know we want BC. Because why wouldn't they just push psnow instead you know?
>>
>>377459002
Because no-joke it would have fucked over the PS4 you fucking moron.

The PS4 beat the Xbone for 2 reasons: It won e3 because Sony gained love while Microsoft gained hate. More importantly, at launch the Xbone was $100 more expensive because it forced you to buy a Kinect.

My point is that adding Backwards compatibility would have raised the price of the system considerably, most likely by $100 or more because they would literally just need to put a PS3 into the system, just like how early PS3 has PS2 in them for backwards compatibility, which is why the PS3 was FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DOLLARS at launch.

With that much of a price raise the clear victory of the PS4 would be a murky victory or possibly even an outright failure if it ended up making the PS4 more expensive than the Xbone.
>>
>>377470049
pro, at some point devs will start fucking over the slim. Also the HDD is nice.
>>
>>377470121
> mfw a ps4 slim is $500 in ausbucks
>>
>>377468676
Capcom hasn't let any games be BC for awhile now aside from the very first SFIV (yes, the first version nobody wanted since it's beyond outdated).
>>
>>377469384
PS4 turned out pretty good for the price though. Meme's aside it's got a solid lineup of exclusives now, with more to come, and is still the best console multiplat machine. Personally I'm not sweating my $350.

Not to say this will have any bearing on the Scorpio but as of now PS4 is pretty far down my list of gaming mistakes. If Scorpio ends up being the new multiplat champ + 360 backwards compatibility that could be really appealing.

you underestimate the stupidity of the normie. Especially if they dangle the next Halo out there.
>>
>>377470782
Yeah I agree with you that it won't take off. PS4 Pro already came out and while it didn't bomb, it didn't do particularly well either.
I don't see a lot of people jumping on a $400-$500 mid-gen console to play multiplats better when most casuals or budget conscious gamers that haven't bought a gen 8 console yet will opt for a regular bone or a PS4 in the $200 range instead.
Not to mention Microsoft has been shutting down their studios and canceling games like crazy the past couple years so there wouldn't be much first party stuff outside of Forza and Halo anyway. And if you did love Forza and Halo you'd already have an Xbone in the first place.
>>

>>377472357
That doesn't solve anything, it isn't true backwards compatibility. BC is taking a game from last gen, putting it in the new machine, and having it just work. Being allowed to buy curated ROMS is different.
>>
>>377472357
They did, on ps now and through remasters (ports)

If you think they can just release ps3 coded games to the ps4 and expect them to run you're too stupid to breath. The ps4 cannot emulate the ps3. Hell 99% of PCs can't emulate the ps3.
>>
>>377459002
I know I'm not alone in this boat, but I can see where it would be a burden for people new to games or just new to a brand of console, but I never get rid of old consoles to make way for new ones. A console being backward compatible or not doesn't mean shit to me.

I'm practically certain it is to save money. How they saved money, I believe, is by having an optical drive that only has one laser (used by Bluray) and not including the other laser (it's a different colored light) used for music CDs.

Being that Sony is one of the co-inventors of the audio CD (Phillips Electronics being the other co-inventor), there are no royalties.

Sony's just being cheap which is irritating as all hell. As if the consoles being made in China or Mexico or whatever crappy country doesn't lower costs enough as it is. It couldn't cost more than $3 or $4 to include audio CD support.

you can't be defending sony ignoring backwards compatibility with later models.

It was god damn jewish of them to fucking go "Hey, fuck the other models if you didn't get that one, buy the games again you fat fucks."

I don't like companies that ignore the demand for BC because it's allowing people to play the games they have on their new console which is incredible value to the consumer. If microshit had actually included this at the start they would have done what sony did and crapped in the jap's mouth

Because people bitched that the PS3 was too expensive when it had BC.

You can't have this shit both ways. I supported BC by purchasing a launch PS3. You obviously didn't (or else you wouldn't be bitching about not being able to play PS3 games. I also purchased a Wii (BC with GC games) and a Wii U (BC with Wii games).

Did you buy the launch PS3 when it came out, or did you bitch that it was too expensive? They listened to the masses, you know. People didn't want to pay more for BC, so they axed it to get costs down, and will instead nickel and dime you to the point where you wind up spending more for less.

Even with a launch PS3 (60 GB model), I still wish that the PS4 would be BC, as no console will last forever. But at least I voted with my wallet to try and support actual BC. What you are asking companies to do by following MS's lead is to give you a feature for free. Companies don't do that unless their back is against the wall.

I have no idea why sony did this. I know it's to make more money but did they really expect the normal consumer to buy this scheme? Only dedicated sony fans would have done this and sony overestimated the amount of fans they had for handhelds. the PSP was successful because of how modular it was and the games it had. Games sell systems, accessories are a money maker. YOu can't sell a fucking car without tires and that's what sony tried to fucking do.

that's not a fucking feature IT'S A GODDAMN NECESSITY YOU CORPORATE FUCKING DOG. If I've BOUGHT THE FUCKING GAMES FROM LAST GEN, I WANT TO PLAY THEM STILL. MAYBE I WANT TO TRADE MY OTHER CONSOLE IN TO FUCKING GET THE NEW ONE WHILE THE VALUE STILL HOLDS.

Get fucked you piece of crap. It's a necessity in 2017 while most people love their old games and don't want to go "Well fuck it I don't need this any more"

Do you just discard your shit every five years like a good corporate lap dog?
>>
>>377478859
Huh, that's pretty interesting..
>>
>>377481252
Don't know about PS3, but both PS1&2 have LOTS games and many are extremely good. At least we have emulators for those.
>>
>>377481321
You realize you can just get a PSTV (for like 20 bucks), hack it, and then load and save games using the USB port, right?

Sony did a lot of things wrong with the Vita. But the PSTV, for all its flaws, more than makes up for that so long as you aren't looking to play a game that really requires a touch screen.

The reason people are buying xbones IS BC.

It's the only fucking thing saving microsoft's ass right now over PS4
>>
>>377481385
I definitely want an explanation for this as well. There's even that thing you can download off the psn for ps2 software or whatever.

>>377466760
no shit retard, i don't even know why you bothered posting this, you just reaffirmed exactly what he had already posted.

>>377481254
Good analogy with the tyres. Add to that the tyres costing about as much as the car itself. All it did was cost them money in the long run as people didn't have the space required to buy their games. It completely ruined an otherwise decent handheld, killed any future Sony handheld devices handing that entire market share over to Nintendo.
>>
>>377481785

I'm honestly of a mind that the japs at sony hated their handheld division and didn't mind to see it go.

If it's not PS4 they're not focused on it and I'm of a mind that they intended it to die. Why devs are still making games for it is probably contractual obligations.

>that's not a fucking feature IT'S A GODDAMN NECESSITY YOU CORPORATE FUCKING DOG

More than 57 million console owners beg to differ, regarding the PS4, and more than 85 million console owners beg to differ regarding the 360.

You vote with your wallet, and the companies listen. The market told them that including hardware to enable full BC wasn't appreciated, but that charging 50+ dollars per year for online was A-OK.

This is what happens when you aren't willing to stand for your principals.

>Get fucked you piece of crap. It's a necessity in 2017 while most people love their old games and don't want to go "Well fuck it I don't need this any more"
You're telling someone who voted with their wallet to support BC hardware being built-in to get fucked because you didn't, but now, in hindsight, you wished you had.

>Do you just discard your shit every five years like a good corporate lap dog?
Never given away a single console. Only game I've ever sold in my life was FFXII. My launch PS3 has been reballed and is still connected to my TV (along with my PS4, and my Wii U).

Don't be pissy because hindsight is 20-20. I can play my PS1-3 games just fine on my PS3, thanks to me voting with my wallet. You can't, because you weren't willing to show companies that you were willing to pay for it.

>>377481572
I'll be honest- there's not much of anything I desire on the Vita to consider getting a PSTV. I heard it's a solid little console, but I already have a PS4 which is keeping me busy. I loved the PSP for its emulation power, it was basically the greatest handheld gaming device ever. I wanted the Vita to be that but updated.
>>
>>377481983
Yeah, well, presuming you mean emulation that wasn't on the PS Store, you're the reason all those anti-consumer practices got put into place.
>>
>>377459002
I don't understand why PS4 can't play PS1 games.
>>
>>377480054
$3 more per console with the 60 million they've sold thus far is already $180 million extra dollars they could have had instead of including CD support.
Scale things up to those numbers and that's how cheaping out little by little adds up.

>>377480735
> clearly talking about 360 HD MGS
> hurr fuck sony

>>377459002
What would be the best console for me?

I'm looking for a console that has very few violent games, and most games for all ages and all audiences

I hate pokemon


I hate the legend of Zelda.


I hate RPG's

And look for a console that is very cheap and very economical
>>
>>377459002
The ps3 architecture was designed by aliens and possibly my boy Nyarlathotep as well. Humans can't accurately recreate it.
>>
>>377482532
I've responded to this before. You don't want anything that has Zelda, Pokemon, or any RPGs on them.

Virtual Boy. You want Virtual Boy. Shy of Game and Watch, it is the only system with nonviolent games that also have zero RPGs, no pokemon, and no Zelda.
>>
>>377482532
Are you the same weird guy that was asking for games like Dragon Quest or Call of Duty (no innovation, all the same)? Are you indonesian?
>>
>>377459002
Because then you wouldnt buy the ps3 or the inevitable hd remaster
>>
>>377482064
Oh boy, this old corporate bootlicking meme again. Just because piracy was a thing on the PSP doesn't give Sony the right to go ahead and make every little thing proprietary (and therefore pricegouged) on the Vita so no one will buy it. I bought like 15 or more games for my PSP, and then I bought a second one when my 1001 died. Don't tell me I'm the reason for anti-consumer practices because I like CFW because I have put in more than my fair share of money towards Sony's handhelds, before they went full retard.
it's 100% profits motivated and you're just taking their sob story about piracy hook line and sinker.
>>
>>377482532

You want nintendo consoles but hate their IPs?
>>
>>377482654
Nah, he's posted this exact question before. It's almost like the dude is trying to pose a riddle, because it's not enough that he purchases a system, but avoids the games. He doesn't want the things he doesn't like to even exist on the console. This leaves Virtual Boy.

>>377482784
>Just because piracy was a thing on the PSP doesn't give Sony the right to go ahead and make every little thing proprietary (and therefore pricegouged) on the Vita so no one will buy it.
It sure does. And they reaped the consequences of doing so (no sales). They can do whatever they want with the tech they develop, and have every right to fuck the consumer. And that's not bootlicking. To expect a company to not respond to the things that happen to them (both good and bad) is foolish.

>>377482789

Doesn't exist, bud. Closest you'll get is the Super Nintendo, but they still have violent games (doom), a single Zelda game, and plenty of RPGS.
>>
>>377483394

>>377483553
You can buy literally any console to get Fifa. But if you're looking for a console that doesn't have any of what you don't like, then you're shit outta luck. Instead, you just buy a console, and only purchase the games you like.
>>
>>377483553
You have high functioning autism. Just buy a console and don't buy the games you don't like.
