I don't think a lot of those are in house though. I'm pretty sure I read that they have around 4. Maybe the bought some to make shovel ware. But last I heard that was not the case.

The reason the online was better with Live was mainly (especially now) the fact of cross chat. And a significantly better console how? Again I think about games and Sony has TONS more exclusive games then MS does. And if you look at my list above it speaks for it self with just IP's. Now the PS4 with their new PSN has cross chat, amazing online features with Gaiki, and can do what live can do plus a whole lot more. Unless you really like Halo/Gears I would say that Sony may have more to offer. And their online service rigth now beats anything MS has. However we will have to wait to see what Live has in store with the third Xbox but without cloud servicing I doubt they could do the interesting things the PS4 can do like the sharing of stuff and virtually helping your friends which is such an amazing feature. I have a feeling you did not watch the whole event, did you just see the game trailers or did you see the whole segment they spent on the PSN?

Anyone know if the PS4 is backwards compatible so you can play PS3 games?

Sony: PSN purchases don't carry over to PS4 ![]() 79 Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida just told our friends at Engadget current-gen PSN purchases won't transfer across to the PS4. In last night's PS4 announcement, Sony revealed the new console won't have backwards compatibility for PS1, PS2, or PS3 discs, although the company aims to use the PS Cloud service to stream previous-gen games as a workaround.

It's still kinda unknown, I don't think they flat out said no. But I don't think so. But they said they are going to make all PS1-PS3 games playable/downloadable on Gaiki. You can stream them download them or whatever.

The backwards capability is not a big deal, because I figured they would say no to that. But no PSN transfers? That should be easy as hell. So ya hope they change that.

Thanks for the replies fellas.
I don't blame Sony for not flat out saying that the PS4 will be backward compatible. Can you imagine the drop in current and future PS3 sales if they admitted the PS4 will play PS3 games? But the PS cloud sounds crazy. I love living in the future.

Ya PSN is going for a huge upgrade and it looks good. The only low for me is that recent news of non-transfer of PSN stuff. Let's hope they change that.
But can't wait for this next gen. The Witness looks really interesting to me as well. UPDATE: Not a surprise but press was told that they would be able to see/play the PS4 at E3.

Not surprised if it's not BC & PSN transfers don't carry over. Sucks but why would they turn down the free money they can make from reselling those games.
I really want to see and get one of these new controllers in hand. It seems like they took on board all the criticisms of the previous versions and addressed them all without making anything worse. I like it.

If they want me to go digital they can NOT do things like "oh... Your PSN purchases don't carry over... Sorry". So what's to stop them from saying that the 60 dollar Ps4 games I buy digitally won't then transfer to the PS5?
This isn't a deal breaker but Microsoft could have an easy counter here... But they'll probably follow suit. |

Ya but I bet Sony will change it. Like the rumble feature and PSN if we yell at em they will change it lol. To me they will get a lot of flak if they don't. I will yell at them. Not a deal breaker as you said but it is important.
Also I just read Sony said that you do not need to be online with the PS4. That's good.

I don't know if I care as much about backwards compatibility now than I did when the PS3 launched. I went into the PS3 and the Xbox 360 wanting that machine to replace the previous generation console I had. If I get the PS4 or NextBox, I am seriously not getting rid of my current consoles. My brother and I switch up, so whenever I have the PS3 he's got the 360 and vice versa. So, personally...I'm fine with no backwards compatibility.
I get that people are pissed about the console not being shown, but I think Sony got ahead of Microsoft anyway you cut it. E3 should still be interesting, which I imagine is where we'll see the console, get a launch date and a price. I was reading that there was speculation about last minute changes Sony had made on the hardware, like kicking up the RAM to 8 gigs, which is apparently a huge ****ing deal. I wonder, that if the speculation is true and Sony did make some of these hardware decisions last minute, if that'd explain why we didn't see what the console will look like. I wonder if Sony wants Microsoft to blink first on the date and price. |

Reading the rumors that the system needs to be online, and with Microsoft's that the kinnect needs to be functional and calibrated, were all off putting for me. We'll see if Microsoft goes that route, but I think we'd all be better off if they don't either. |

Backwards compatibility is a huge deal breaker for me. Why alienate people with large game collections, you know, the loyal customers?

Well they go hand in hand. All PSN purchases are either PS1, PS2 or PS3 games. The system would have to be BC for those to transfer

I hope Gaikai can really deal with the BC issues I mean when they said eventually it could be BC in Sony terms that means "In another 2-3 years or never"

I wonder how the game streaming will work. Do you pay a monthly fee? Does it come automatically with PSN +? If you don't want to sub PSN +, can you just pay a small fee, if you just want to play a particular game?
PSN on PS4 should register which games you bought on the PS3, and let you you stream those games with no cost.

I dunno, people have been complaining for years that Sony hasn't restructured PSN. If to do that, and completely change the structure PSN...it may explain why it wouldn't transfer.
But, they're smart people behind the scenes. I'm sure if people *****ed enough, they would crack that nut and make it happen. Also, they might just try and cash grab it. I feel like that's what Sony has done with the PS2 games lately. I can't use the disc I have of GTA San Andreas but I can digitally repurchase it and play it on the system. If that's the case, then they should seriously reconsider. |
