Probably, but it would give Sony some much-needed good press, and honestly, I doubt that BC for PS1 and PS2 games is all that taxing nowadays, despite Shuhei Yoshida's previous bellyaching. This is likely Sony's last console, so I'll hold out my dream that they go out with a bang. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve already confirmed backwards compatibility so the only thing that remains to be seen is if those versions have trophy support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If PS1 is possible, I say go for it. I think we are far away from this being Sony’s last console. Let’s cross our fingers that Sony makes some improvements like active trophy tracking. I would love to not have to keep track of how many matches I have played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vujos Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Cloud gaming is cool and all that (Stadia & PS Now), but I hate relaying on the internet connection to game. Will always prefer to have physical console and play offline when router or internet craps on me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t pull the trigger on a PS4 pro about a year before the new system is released. Frankly, I would invest in the tv so you can get the most out of the PS5.

Sifferino Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I never understood the point of introducing that PS4 Pro anyway. A bit of a d*ckmove, to be honest. Everyone should have the same console, that’s the whole point. They handled it reasonably well, I was afraid from the introduction onwards games on the regular PS4 would run like crap and that didn’t happen, but I hope they don’t repeat this again. I can understand (a little bit) different configurations (like a smaller model without a bluray drive or something), although this should be introduced at launch then not as a surprise years down the road, but I don’t like the proposition “this is the ultimate model, but here’s our base model: games won’t run smoothly and won’t look good but it is $100 cheaper!”. That or periodic hardware “incremental upgrades” (=gaming PCs) and I’m out of console gaming. I just don’t understand what’s wrong with the ‘old’ way of simply introducing a brand new generation every 5-7 years. Basically I just want to know that the game runs as advertised. I don’t want to deal with “yes it will run but you have to tinker with the settings, won’t run smoothly” etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubuki Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Considering PS4 just sold 100 million. I don't see anyone buying a PS5 unless they didn't like PS4. Backwards compatibility is a thing. But screw that. Did I buy a PS5 to play PS5 games? Or PS4 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but then that’s it: this is the PS4. Devs, deal with it. Get creative. Judging from its success, we don’t care about underpowered consoles and creative developers can do so much given limitations. Devs weren’t allowed when the Pro was launched to make Pro-only games or screw the regular PS4 gamers over in any way with subpar games. So who is it for then? Only a tiny niche. I bet new buyers buy the Pro mostly because they fear the regular PS4 would be a bad buy (‘inferior’), not specifically for its pro features. It made all of us earlier buyers wonder if Sony screwed us over. Its just bad business. And it could have easily happened if the Pro had been more successful and devs started developing primarily for the Pro instead of the regular model. Once console buyers start questioning if the basic premise for a console (plug & play, guaranteed fun for x years) still holds true... it is game over. I don’t want a PC-lite, I want a console. I hope Sony won’t make this gamble. Microsoft seems to want to for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't think that Sony will withdraw from a thriving market. But I just don't see much place for a new console in 2027, and even if there is, I think Nintendo is better poised for it. I expect Sony to continue its move (as well as the market's move) toward streaming. Oh, and before anyone else says it, yes, this is an opinion. Because of course it is. I haven't built a time machine and seen the future of gaming. 2 hours ago, Sifferino said: Once console buyers start questioning if the basic premise for a console (plug & play, guaranteed fun for x years) still holds true... it is game over.

vanessaking2 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I am going to wait too a while before I buy a PS5. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSquirrell1 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Depends on the sales. I have a launch PS4 and a bunch of games that I'd like to play, and don't want to be without a console until the PS5 arrives. So, if a slim is being offered at a great price for Black Friday, I'll pick it up. Same goes for the Pro or even a decent bundle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I guess having a iconic name is good. Im more curious about what itll look like though. Personally I never liked the Ps4 design but its growing on me all these years. My favorite still the Ps2 design. In a way Ps4 and Ps2 has their similarities i suppose.

DaivRules Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Would announcing PS3 backward compatibility for the PS5 finally stop all those “When will PSN shut down for the PS3?” askers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid-Fisch Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) 32 minutes ago, ChimJiminie said: Still no true confirmation on whether or not it will be PS3 backwards compatible as well huh? It would make it very appealing on the market... They will give the same excuse as the did on PS4 already, that PS3 Games are not compatible due different hardware and cell structures and what not, which is crap if you ask me. But that's what they'll tell you. Also they won't stop with PS NOW... so here is your answer: PS5 will not be backwards compatible with PS3 retail games.

I would like for them to update the trophy level system to where it can go past 100. It should be unlimited considering we're in the generation of all these easy games. I agree. It should be changed, and I hope it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
