    Sony thought “Long and hard” about PS4 Backwards compatibility

    The long and hard part made me giggle! 🙂

    tbh who cares, majority of the ps3 owners wont sell their PS3s anyway and why would you want to play crappy games on your new console …..

      Backwards compatibility is a neat feature to have, but when you really think about it, how many of us will replay our old PS3, PS2 and PSOne games? I know I’m in the minority where this is concerned. I happily replay these titles, but since my old PSOne, PS2 and PS3 are still working (and console emulation on the PC exist – yes, my ps2 and Psone disks are running through an emulator) is it really a feature that’ll keep you from buying a new console?

        The thing is, Sony screwed themselves when they released the Cell core thing in the PS3. This makes life difficult to make it backwards compatible with the new PS4.

        Yes, they are going to allowed it to be played from the CLOUD but again, half of the LG users bitches about online play and this is EXACTLY what Sony is offering to play older PS games….

        You will need a perma online connection to play older PS games on your PS4 or am I getting it wrong ?

        So you as a buyer will have to decide on the end of the day…

    Wish there was more leaders like the “Iron Lady”. South Africa really needs someone like her to lift us out of our current state. RIP ma’am, the world will always remember you!
