bna_brat Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I understand that the PS4 is not backwards compatible and will not play disc games but my question is about the downloaded games. Would we be able to play all the PS3 downloadable games? All the free PS3 games that we got with our PLUS membership and the games that we purchased for the PS3. I would hate to lose all of them if I update my system to the PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBloodmoney Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 You won't lose them, but they won't play on your PS4. You will still be able to play and redownload them to your PS3 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiteraryRecluse Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yep, what DrBloodmoney said. They are still connected to your PSN account, so you will always have the ability to download them, but as of right now they are only compatible with the PS3.

bna_brat Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 That Sux! Really the only reason right now I'm not updating to the PS4. If I'm gonna buy one I wanna go PS4 only and not have to switch back and forth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABEWLEY Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I don't think the switching back and forth would bother me to be honest. The only reason I haven't got one yet is because my backlog of ps3 games is crazy with at least 20 games that I've not even started yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadCarbon Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I seem to remember Sony on the pre-launch battling saying they would be working on "cloud emulation" for backward compatibility. And one thing that makes me laugh is it cant play the games but it can read enough of the disc to allow the use of the upgrade titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_MOUSEY Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Personally i think its a business stratigy, as if it was backwords compatible what is to stop people from buying the ps3 verson of the game and playing it on the ps4. Just like the new Assassins Creed, currently on sale for about £25 on xbox and ps3 but about £50 for it on ps4 and xbox one. I think it is rather sad that there is no backwards compatibility as i would rather have the 1 system for my gaming, however i dont think it would really bother me about switching back and forth on the console as apposed the limited room on my tv stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Scuba Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 There are just as many good PS3 games coming out in 2014 as PS4 soo if you refuse to switch back and forth your going to miss out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
