Smashingpmkns posted...If they don't have backwards compatibility they will be shooting themselves in the foot. Most of the PS4's good games are slated to release within the next few years, including hyped games like Spiderman, Last of Us 2, KH3, FF7 (lol probably a PS5 anyways second year release at this point), etc. True, but no company releases a new product hoping that it'll sell in a few years and not immediately. It'll end up being a Wii U if they fuck up this bad. --- Clean Butt Crew ... Copied to Clipboard!

PS3 had the slow start due to the price. The issue was the PS3 used weird ass cell architecture that was hard to emulate and it wasn't designed with forward compatibility in mind. As the PS4 software and hardware kept selling they really didn't need to invest in any BC so they haven't. I don't think PS4 has this same issue at all. PS4 games seemed to be designed for eventual upgraded hardware (which lead to the PS4 Pro). --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

I sold my PS4, and I've been sticking with Steam this gen. I'll pick up a PS5 and play the PS4 games I missed since they'll all be remastered and re-released.

Also, price is a factor too. You can get a good premade pc for 700ish dollars now, so if the new consoles are anything more than $400....

I think the worst part about this new gen coming out so soon is that neither the One nor the PS4 have had any real break out games. No new IP they could build off of. The closest we have is probably Sunset Overdrive.
The 360 and the PS3 had a shit ton of new IPs. And if the PS5 isn't BC we're going to be playing sequels to games that started 2 gens before that you have no way of playing unless they sell a remastered version. Which is shitty. --- Clean Butt Crew ... Copied to Clipboard!

The closest we have is probably Sunset Overdrive. Damn 2 IPs lol completely forgot about HZD. Pretty bad regardless. 360 and PS3 both built an amazing future lineup that it seems like was squandered this gen, and both companies seem to forget that they probably should have made new IPs. Without them, this gen is pretty hard to define. --- Clean Butt Crew ... Copied to Clipboard!

Really lowering the bar compared to last gen, with the exception of Bloodborne. Is it? Microsoft had Gears of War and Forza. I guess Mass Effect as well if you want to include that. Sony had Uncharted, Resistance and The Last of Us right at the end of the gen. It's a step down for Microsoft sure but Sony seems around the same IMO --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

Smashingpmkns posted...Really lowering the bar compared to last gen, with the exception of Bloodborne. Uh yeah definitely. There was a craze around Uncharted and Last of Us. There's no PS4 game this gen that even matches those. HZD is basically comparable to your regular Ubisoft open world game, Until Dawn doesn't do much more than your regular interactive novel game, and Bloodborne, albeit being great, is another Soulsborne game and is not as accessible nor as popular as those aforementioned games. --- Clean Butt Crew ...

This is pretty damn specific criteria now. Horizon Zero Dawn is a great game. I consider it better than Uncharted and TLOU. Releasing the same month as BOTW isn't a knock against the game. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!
