PS5 being able to play with PS4 sure as hell better be there. You can play 360 players on an XB1 so I would hope they’re able to do it.
I wouldn’t mind if these new consoles launched in the Spring.
Launch backwards compatibility is huge for reducing that early console lifespan game gap, particularly if Sony can keep the hit titles coming.
The problem Sony has is that the ps2 and ps3 used such crazy hardware that they can’t really do it. That’s why the original backward compatible ps3s were $600 pieces of shit with overheating issues, they had to stuff all of the ps2 hardware inside the console along with the completely different ps3 hardware.They should go full out backwards compatible PS1-PS4.
I want to bust out my Wu-Tang Shaolin Style disc. If I even still have it. Best fighting game all time.
Rumors of PS5 being more powerful than Project Scarlett
Tbh we've reached a point where the tech arms race means less and less. That stuff is all plateauing and every further gen will just be diminishing returns. All I really care about from a hardware perspective is that both of these things will have SSDs in them, so hopefully consoles can get out of the load time dark age.
Really if games stayed around the same as they are now but everything had no load times and ran at 60+ frames at all times I wouldn't complain.
