“ set gaming back decades “

So it’s not the obsession with live service , graphics and ray tracing ? Not the consistent layoffs with record profits ? My fault gang it’s that people miss when games had soul and didn’t rely on 20 patches to fix

nobody jumps for joy at the announcement of a 27th version of 2001 so they can finally watch it again

They actually do lol that's why Criterion Collection has so much hype

“ devs who want to work on something new”

You asked them if they wanted to refresh games that made them fall in love with gaming or a new always online live service game ?

You are wrong

extremely niche collectors market. when it comes to games it's hardly a niche pocket of people excited about back compat

“ extremely niche “

Backwards compatibility isn’t niche at all

We know your trick. You’re going to buy the Pro and put the OG PS5 in the box and return it

Con man

Most ppl prob dont care about BC beyond the previous gen but that's besides the point. Video game consoles and video game software are not something that can exist forever. Consoles die, stores go offline, physical discs break. It is important that history is preserved in any way possible as close to the original experience as possible.

If not every ps4 game has a ps5 upgrade 4 years later what makes you think all devs going to make a ps5 upgrade version ? Explain to me slowly

Who cares about all devs man we just need Rebirth. Keep the rest

that's what I'm saying. criterion collection is a niche collectors market. yes they will get excited about watching a movie for the 15th time every so slightly improved

back compat is something casuals and hardcore gamers praise all the time and they shouldn't. blu rays and games shouldn't even be compared in the first place

“ most people probably “

The start of someone who doesn’t know wtf they are talking about

Im just playing into the poster's logic

Microsoft so pathetic cause if they actually competed we wouldn’t be in place where Sony could do all this f*** s***

thats fine and all. but the issue arises when back compat is used as a selling point and when people actually get excited about it

don't tell me to get a ps5 pro because I can play dusty ass PS2 games on it. and nobody should be excited if they hear that's possible

Also for reference only 1.5%~ of users played BC 360 games on the Xbox One, per Ars Technica. It just is what it is

It is a selling point. Why wouldn't it be lol? Do you exist in another reality where we are not getting brand new games all the time?

Yeah you an idiot

End of the day imagine getting pressed over an optional upgrade existing

iOS18 goes crazy bro thanks for the heads up on the beta

Powerful
