"Why would anybody play this?"Sony's Jim Ryan comment on backwards compatibility

[Bathing Ape]

Dumb statements all in this thread like bc hasnt always been popular. If i brought a game on ps3, i should be able to play on ps4 without having to double dip. Plus some games still hold up in 2017.

Backwards Compatibility is a big deal and Sony WILL be forced to put that shyt back in future consoles and abandon the PS Now disaster.

How so?

Its clear Sony aren't putting shyt into future consoles.

 

[The Mad Titan]

BC was a big deal until sony deemed it wasn't.

I don't know why people acting brand new

 

[Maximus Rex]

facts

BC doesn't sell systems

sony learned this the hard way with the ps3

"nikkas want my old shyt buy my old albums"

 

[The Guru]

Maybe you can get a little more play out of games you already own. Or try games you didn't get around to playing when they came out. If Switch had backwards compatibility i'd have bought it day one.

 

[Zero]

Actually gamers enjoy backward compatibility

There's a reason, remakes and re releases sell over and over again.


Funny thing is SONY has NO problem selling you a old game, but giving to you for free? "Why would anyone want to play it"

Of course he'll say that, knowing they'd rather squeeze more dough from you with remastered titles.

Ya'll better wake up :iseeu:

Funny considering Black Ops 2 shot right up to the 10 ten NPDs because it was backwards compatible on XB1.

spend millions on technology to support one game that you don't make money off of brehs


i mean it's obvious what they are doing.. they don't make any money off bc tech, so why waste the time, man hours and money to build it... you gonna buy the shyt anyway apparently.. and bc ain't enough to make you switch to xbox one.. so essentially they don't give a fukk

This is how I feel about all that BC/Remastered bullshyt. I played the old shyt already so why would I want to play it again?

I highly doubt you played all there is to play bruh. You have no backlog? Then you only care to play a handful of games. You like to keep it safe and not try new games huh man?

You'd fit in with the majority

nikka wtf are you talking about? Regardless, I don't want to go back and play old shyt, period. If I missed the game during its era, oh well.

 

[Jax]

Sup with PS Now then?

To the bolded...

Why?

Are you saying the best thing about a game is the honeymoon stage? The freshness or trendiness of it?

What about a legitimate great game you've never had the chance to play? What is it that makes you say "no, I'm good."

 

[Cladyclad]

When I was a kid and a new system dropped. It was time to go to Funcoland to trade in everything from last gen. I never looked back ever. The last time I played my PS3 was Walking Dead Season 2. And I regret that cuz I could have waited for the PS4 version.

It's too much new shyt for me to go back to old shyt

Thanks to BC on the PS3 I was able to play MGS1-MGS3 and GOW 1,2. (this was prior to the remakes)
