"PS5 will play all your already bought PSN games library, no need to buy them again"
and now
"no, sorry, you can't play the PS3 game you got on PS+ ...."
Damn, I hoped I could finally play remastered version of Beyond good and Evil I got on PS3's PS+ three years ago... before playing Beyond good and evil 2 on PS5 !
Well, now I'm hoping they will surprise us by releasing a remake or at least include the remastered version on the prequel!
Also Mass effect... but if PS4 game release is not a hoax, then it'll be playable on PS5 if part of the 99%, that would benefit from loading time, right?
I'm happy it can play 99% PS4 games though, I feared it would be limited to "best 100 PS4 games" like they announced few weeks ago.
I just wonder which one are not compatible, it might be the one I own and I didn't play yet, and that's why I still have my PS4 for that.
I still have too much backlog of PS1/2/3... for my hole life, but I wouldn't have been able to play them on any retail unhacked console. PS1/PS2 is probably fine on raspi4, PS3 would have been nice on PS5, even if I had to buy the game again at lower price (I did buy some games twice ! to play on PS4 without having to get my consoles out again, because my TV don't have scart cable anymore!). unfortunately, even if PSNow is a solution, it does NOT have a lot of games. not all the library at least, look they don't even have beyond good and evil remastered !!! If they plan to use PSNow as a marketing solution for previous games, at least make them all available !
The PS4 backward compatibility on PS is probably hardware restricted games? like camera ? or another input controllers ? like VR ?
Don't expect to play your PS4VR at PS5 launch ! the PS4 camera is not compatible with PS5! the PS5 camera is not compatible with PS4VR!
I'm still wondering WHY the PS4 camera requires an adapter for PS4 VR games...
like the console couldn't detect PS4 or PS5 hardware difference and use corresponding firmware internally. if it's because it's a different plugtype... why ? just make it same plugtype and problem solved!
or at least, if you have to buy a PS5 camera, make it work with PS4VR! your hardware is not released yet, you have all the time and ideas to make things work the way you want.
The PS4 adapter will not make it work with PS5 games or else they wouldn't have any need of releasing a new camera and could have kept the PS4 camera as natively working.
now you'll have to manufacture adapters, make a website to distribute them, create a team to manage it, ship them, manage returned faulty devices, and all that for free ???? why not just plug it and let the console work with PS4 camera ??? Your console is not even released, just make it work from day one !! so much waste of money on that decision...
Yes, sony officially said "free of charge adapter ship to VR users !" on their blog !
