What are the odds that the PS5 will be completely BC with all Playstation console games?

Thank you for that pointless copy and paste information that has jack shit to do with why post.

Please do not reply to me in the future.

You don't know shit about PowerPC.

Pretty simple really, if the PS5 is BC with the PS4 then BC will matter to cows and they will be praising Sony for it. Now if it isn't cows will say BC doesn't matter, and still praise Sony anyway.

It should be BC with the PS4, the only excuse for the PS4 is that the PS3 had the cell.

Given you past claims and pure self-ownage you are the last person in this entire forum to question people's technical know-how.

And in regards to part in bold, it would appear you can't read either.

Pretty simple really, if Sony announce full BC and have no new games to play then BC will be the best thing since sliced bread. If they announce full PS4 BC and have new games to play it'll be a nice bonus.

Lemmings need to understand that BC is no substitute for a lack of decent, AAAE first party games.

I hope there's bc with PS4. Not that interested in previous consoles tho

Zero, ziltch, nada.. Cows only watch day one new games and after watching them they sell them to GS. Sheeesh, ya think Phony hasn't been listening to their fans? :P

Outside the ps4, there's no way in hell ^^

And even for the ps4 i'm not quite sure :)

can you buy and download PS2 games from PSN onto any PS3? did they manage to fully emulate the PS2 on the PS3 through software?

anywho everything bar maybe the PS3 should be doable. the PS3 could be a problem.

Doubtful, at launch. I can see this happening if Nintendo or Microsoft being more competitive with the PS5 (regarding market share), then this could be a big E3 announcement a couple years post launch.

@theone86: wiiu plays all Wii games both on Wii store and retail and I paid 0 a second time .. ps2 plays ps1 as does ps3 plus early ps3 plays all ps1 and 2 so saying it's not how it works is total bs

Every single cow should have voted 0 chance followed by "I don't want BC, I don't purchase new consoles to play last gen games. BC is an unnecessary feature that we don't want". Up till release then it's "BC done right, it's the greatest feature to have. I'm glad I don't have to keep my PS4 plugged in"

It'll probably play PS4 games out of the box, as it certainly will have similar, albeit far stronger, hardware. PS3? Not likely, as it would require a beast of a machine to emulate that weird architecture.

Probably just with PS1 and PS4.

PS2/PS3 - will probably be Digital/Streaming

Honestly, I don't give shite about BC. I'd rather much have a powerful PS5 focusing on PS5 games and digital downloads of past games. BC is a neat convenient feature but it's definitely not a priority feature that I desperately need.

Did the Wii U play Gamecube games? Did it play N64 games? Could you transfer all your digital games from the Wii for no charge? Can you play your Wii games on the Switch? And the PS4 has zero backwards compatibility. Don't tell me this is how it already works, because it's not.

Right, gamers want to be able to play the software they purchased on different systems and devs want gamers to pay for the same games over and over again, but GAMERS are the ones who are entitled. That's some bass-ackwards logic,right there.

@theone86: If gamers didn’t buy the stuff, the Devs wouldn’t make it. Developers are in the business of making money and would be stupid to leave millions on the table. That being said, the vocal minority, “hardcore” aka entitled gamer cries on message boards anytime the are asked to spend money. If Devs made new systems that played all the old games we would have even fewer studios and exclusives than we do now. Software sales drive the industry. And looking at the success of the remasters this gen, I would say the majority of consumers are fine with it. The issue is those pesky kids on the internet that “vote with their wallets” and just watch the games on Twitch anyway. $60 is too much for a game, DLC and micro transactions are evil, paid online is a scam, DRM is bad, backwards compatibility is a right etc. That’s a bunch of ways to say I want games and I don’t want to spend money on anything.

I wonder where the hobby would be today if devs and pubs catered to these people....

Except they already spent money on the games. Like I said, you're calling gamers entitled for wanting to play a product they already paid for, while studios are insisting it's their right to get paid twice. Bass. Ackwards.

And that's the way things work on Steam, they seem to be doing fine these days.

I find it funny that youd call it a bombshell. #OLDGAMES
