Sony confirms PS5 won't be backwards compatible with PS1, PS2, or PS3 games

download.jpg
Famitsu recently interviwed Playstion's CEO, Jim Ryan which was translated to English by Siliconera. In that interview, Ryan confirmed two things. First, the PlayStation 5 will have a 99% compatibility with all PlayStation 4 titles. Second, the PS5 will not have backwards compatibility with PS1, PS2, and PS3 games.

Famitsu: We were also surprised when we heard that it will have 99% compatibility with PS4 titles. By the way, will there be compatibility with PS1, PS2, and PS3 titles?

Jim Ryan: We keep in mind the engineering specialized for the PS5, as we produced the device. In the midst of that, the PS4 already has 100 million players; we thought they ought to want to play PS4 titles on the PS5 as well indeed, so we included compatibility with the PS4. While implementing that, we also focused our efforts on taking in the high-speed SSD and the new controller DualSense at the same time. So, unfortunately, we couldn’t reach the implementation of such compatibilities.

This news makes it clear that remastered versions of the PS1/2/3 era games for the PS4 will still be playable on the PS5 via backwards compatibility with the PS4. However, the confirmation that backwards compatibility is limited to the PS4 may be upsetting to some, but it is likely not surprising. What classic PS1, PS2, or PS3 era games do you wish you were able to play on the PS5?

But you all seem to think this has been something sony always did.

They did it once, no fucker else did it or does it, yes even xbox doesnt do it, they emulate titles they want.

I dont see anyone bitching at nintendo or microsoft because you cant just slap any game in and play it.

And even if your console bit the dust, only costs like £10 to get another.

Only $10 (or whatever 10 pounds converts to in dollars) to get another, huh?

The development on RE8 for PS5 is being difficult, as ps5 can't keep the game running at a stable framerate..One developer mentioned the game is always crashing and having slowdowns on multiple points. He also mentioned the game is running perfect smooth on Series X with no problems, struggles or whatsoever. This is happening cause ps5 is not really next as their hardware is not optimized enough for it..

Holy shit, for real? The disparity between the PS5 and the Series X has been confirmed to be that big? Or is this just rumor talk that hasn't been confirmed beyond the shadow of a doubt?

And considering how badly RE8 was slowing down with that one trailer earlier this year, it's looking like both systems are starting on shaky ground. I mean, is the PS5 even launching with a new game? As in, it isn't a glorified remaster with extra stuff, but a brand new, made-exclusively-for-PS5 game at launch? Because I've heard and seen announcements and reveals, but not much in terms of what's going to be available at launch. We already know Microsoft is just selling a system that will only be playing previous gen games at launch, with nothing new to come until at least next year, so I'm now curious who's going to be coming out on more stable ground at launch here?
Spiderman miles moras, sackboy (cant wait for this one myself) demon souls, and destruction allstars all release on ps5 release. Now are they exclusive, im not sure about that.

Disappointing, but not surprising. I have my FMCB'd PS2 and PS3 Launch/Slim so it's not as if I can't play the games I want, if I do.

PlayStation: Gran Turismo 2
PlayStation 2: Tekken 4
PlayStation 3: GTA IV (something about this game just makes me play every now and then)

Sackboy and Demon's Souls? Sure. Isn't Spiderman Miles Morales, like, the PS4 game with better graphics plus some extra stuff where you play as Miles Morales, as marketing has lead me to believe?

Well, if you happened to have a phat PS2 and a network adapter, why not go the HDD route.
It was just more comfortable back in the day.
Not sure comfortable is the word to use. A tiny USB stick is definitely more convenient for me.

I use a Samsung 128GB USB for my PS2 Slim, it's so small you'd barely notice it's there.

Meanwhile Nintendo ported three old games to the Switch, a Nintendo 64 game, a Gamecube game and a Wii game and is selling them together.
And it's supposedly a limited print until March 2021.

Nintendo.. the Apple of Gaming.

Yes i believe so. Plus i think they all also are coming out for ps4. As for the re8 topic from what i can find that all seams to be rumors and supposed leakers nothing official heres 1 article about it https://www.google.com/amp/s/gamerant.com/resident-evil-8-may-ps5-performance-issues/amp/
Also stats at the end of it that it may be due to the new re engine

not a troll, just someone who isnt acting like a wet blanket over a feature no fucker else provides.

its not expensive at all, if your stupid to use fleabay for replacement consoles then thats your problem, i recently picked up 3x ps1, 4x xbx, 1x 360 and 6xps2 consoles and some games for £90.

not exactly breaking the bank is it.

so no, im not going to bitch because the ps5 doesnt support backward compatibility because i still own my original consoles to play on them.

but hey using you bitching logic, fucking complain about nintendo switch not supporting any of its older games.

now that fact that you dont, clearly your the fanboy troll.

Oh, it may not support older games officially...but let's be real here, all of these systems are PCs that can emulate shit without the need for companies to do shit. They're the ones losing out by not providing customers with the option, you know that? Because there are people who actually do use those features who may be won over, as clearly is the case with the Xbox Series X supporters in these threads who like the BC options they're offering, not to mention the cheaper price point of the Xbox Series S for those looking to save some cash...before the memory card prices fuck them over, but then again, "OH THEY'RE NOT MEMORY CARDS HURR DURR" and to that I say...find something more substantial to split hairs over in life.

And when it comes to fanboyism, trust me, I have a gaming PC that can emulate up to and including the PS3. I only like to see how feeble console makers' attempts are at winning those of us with said capable gaming PCs over and to discuss it with others interested in discussion and not sucking away time and attention like you are.

Now, off to your hideout!

ohh little boy, be gone, stop fucking complaining, you sound like a delicate little snowflake crying because it doesnt do WHAT NO FUCKER ELSE DOES EITHER!!!

so they dont include emulators, who gives a fuck really, for someone who sits there claiming to have a pc set up to emulate everything, why the fuck you acting like a snowflake for.

no one actually gives a toss if the ps5 doesnt include it, again ill ask you.

WHY ARENT YOU BITCHING THAT YOU HAVE NO BC SUPPORT ON A NINTENDO CONSOLE.

WHY ARENT YOU BITCHING THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE BC SUPPORT ON XBOX, YOUR LIMITED TO WHAT THEY TELL YOU TO PLAY, ITS NOT BC AS YOU CANT SLAP ANY GAME IN YOUR CONSOLE AND PLAY.

now be gone, go play with your toy cars, stop been a fantroll.

A lazy fucking excuse, typical. Time goes forward Sony, you could, y'know, still work on it instead of just giving up :rolleyes:

Thank fuck for all the various PS1 emus/PCSX2/RPCS3, random internet people do what Sony Don't. ;O;
once its hacked it will play all of them

PS1 and PS2? Sure.

PS3 is where things could get very interesting.
if my macbook pro from 2017 can play RPCS3 emulator, by the time PS5 gets hacked, it will emulate it just fine

a hacked ps4 was the best place to have all playstaion consoles emulated, minus ps3

ps5 can handle ps3 games, if GPD Max Can Do it, there is no excuse

its nice to have the collection in one box, i do have Hyperspin, LaunchBox with 3 TB worth of console roms, but i still prefer to play my digital collection on a Modded Wii U or switch, nothing beats havning a gamepad with a screen for short bursts gameplay in bed or a ps1 game emulated on switch while you are in Toilet!

i have my eye set on purchasing either a GPD Win Max or Aya Neo
Consoles like Alienware UFO is the Future of Gaming and Emulation
