why has Sony put so few classic games on PS4's PSN?

So you don't realize how pitiful their current lineup is in comparison.

>Buying shit over and over and over
Why would you want them to?

>>383357809
because some people never owned those old consoles in the first place, they would be making money off of fanboys who'd buy the same shit twice and people who never got to play it in the first place

>>383356762
Because most of the games you want sony to put up there aren't games that sony owns, and you should be asking third parties why they aren't doing it instead?

>>383357964
just emulate them.

this shit is fucking stupid.
Sony does this and Nintendo does this.

does Microsoft do this shit too? why not develop new games, new ips and shit and leave the old shit in the past?

we need to move on already.

>>383356762
Because Sony don't understand why you'd want to replay old games

>>383358097
It's not like putting old games on PSN takes a lot of resources. Money earned from them can go towards new shit, too.

Sony doesn't own every game made for the ps2, guys. Non Nintendo systems are built on third party support.

>ony removes backwards compatability

It's hard to remove something you didn't have in the first place.

>>383359226
that's just the shitty aspect of the popularity pendulum swing, Microsoft has to play catch-up big time so they add good features that don't fix their big problems, while Sony is free to become complacent

>>383359281
The PS3 was BC with the PS2.

okay.

>Console that just focuses on its own library outsells the one that just pushes itself with backwards compatability and no exclusives by almost 3x as much.

So, sony was right?

>ps4 isn't backwards compatible
fuck i didn't know this
just bought demon souls and still cant play it

>>383359281
PS3 can play PS1 games, and the fat ones can play PS2 games.

>>383359832
see
>>383359476
Also, only some fat models could play ps2 games, and only the 60gb ones could actually play them well because it was hardware BC.

>>383358097
99% of people dont care enough to learn how to emulate, but they will stream games off the ps store. are you too autistic to realize you dont represent the average consumer?

>>383359586
yawn make vampire savior thread, can't play it because no ps triple

>>383356762
They're not done adding trophies to them.

>Thread is people complaining about lack of BC when the average consumer actually doesn't care about BC
>Rips on people for not being the average consumer

>>383360314
The average consumer took BC for granted. They didn't say they wanted it gone.

>>383360523
They sure don't act like they want it.

You know, with their spending habits.

The things that consumers do that actually matter.

I mean, making a big show of BC did nothing for the xbone.

It's something I wish they'd do more of. Nintendo doesn't do a bang up job when it comes to their classic rereleases on 3ds and Wii U, but at least it's there and there genuinely is some stuff worth playing. Microsoft doesn't do too good a job but don't they have full backwards compatibility for a majority of the games worth playing on 360 and original Xbox?
>b-but muh emulators
Sometimes if a game I wasn't able to play when it released is good enough I'd at least like to support the devolper in someway.
Part of the reason I don't think Sony classic rereleases are a thing, as well is backwards compatibility, is that the majority of Sonyfags are genuinely dumb enough to slurp up the shit stream of remasters they push out so frequently. They're litterally less consumer friendly than modern Valve.

>>383361596
list those remasters Sony themselves publish/develop.

>>383362706
God of War
The Last of Us
Uncharted

pretty sure those Nintenfags are on the same level as Sonyfags. but I agree.


but Sony doesn't push these out that frequently. and yes I didn't include the ones that weren't published/developed by them.

God of War
Last of Us
Uncharted
Ratchet
Jak
Shadow/Ico
Killzone 1 HD
Prince of Persia

>>383362883
that's frequent? only 3?

>wah wah why should old games be preserved let me suck EA dick and buy the new fantastic AAA releases with 4K GRAPHICS!!!
fuck off, those old games were much better than the garbage we have today, emulation is nowhere near perfect and old consoles aren't being manufactured anymore, your argument is just as retarded as WHY IS WARNER BROS PUTTING OUT OLD MOVIES IN BLU RAY??? DONT THEY MAKE NEW ONES???? Except nobody who likes cinema ever said that in history because they usually have at least two neurons
