I can't believe backwards compatibility for these old ass gens was such a hot topic throughout this gen and continues to be a big deal for PS5 and SeX. How is it that so many people are so easily consumed by nostalgia?

Who tf STILL wants to play PS3, 360, PS2, OG Xbox games?! Most of the times those games have such terrible and outdated mechanics that playing them just makes you wanna off yourself. Don't get me started on how you playing with legos in 360p in half of them too.

I can safely say I never spent a second playing some dusty s*** this entire gen. I don't even care about One/PS4 games being backwards compatible tbqh but they at least give you something to play during SeX/PS5's infancy.

What's good with people?

This ain’t it

but how tf am i supposed to play the MGS HD collection if PS5 isn't bc with PS3 games?

TO YOU.

I just want guitar hero man

I agree with OP

even going back to ps2 xbox eras those games looked good on the hardware it was built for

Would much rather play my PS2 games on my Sony trinitron CRT setup than full HD Remastered bullshit

Setting up backwards compatibility into the hardware prob makes the s*** more complicated and limits the potential of what the system could achieve just look at the PS4

Use your Playstation 3

But what if I wanna be in a party

That's a fair point

Personally I don't use party chat with my friends I mostly play single player so I can't speak on that

Why wouldn't I want to play Skate 3

I agree. Backwards compatibility is only for the 1 year transition phase between generations. Never played a single PS2 game on my PS3 nor did I wanna play a PS3 game on my PS4.

insanely out @ this thread

get clone hero on pc man. runs on any pc. uses any guitar hero controller and even drums. can download any song ever made from guitar hero + way more custom s***

Normally I agree with NLC but not today

There are some out of print games that won’t be rereleased due to licensing that I would like to play so

BC isn't all that important to me but it's been a fat min since I've played those classic ps1-2 games.. admittedly it'd be nice to play those games again seamlessly

I do. As a matter of fact... Majority of games I play are remasters..... There are good games this gen, but the quality of gaming has gone down from a fun aspect since the ps2 era. Everything is a boring cinematic 1 and done experience. A lot of amazing games have been left to die on the Ps2 and will probably never be remastered. Ps2s aren't going to live forever. People should have a modern solution for playing these games since emulation is frowned upon... This thread aint it.

Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Banjo Kazooie, Pac-Man World & games of the sort are more than likely the biggest and only plausible reason for people to want to go back,

I don't think emulation is frowned upon. Emulation using pirated games is, but it's fine if you use the official discs

Most people aren't using discs though and thats being real. Nobody is trying to pay close to a hundred for a copy of Budokai T3 in 2020 when they can just download it.

Put any ps1 or ps2 games on my switch I ain’t playin dem s***s on a ps5

just give me yugioh forbidden memories and final fantasy tactics man

Dragonball badukai tenkaienchi 3
