Why no Ps3 backwards compatibility? I want to try fallout 3, new Vegas....

So can ps4 still download ps1 and ps2 games?

Also if you check playstation now, i guess you can rent the game if is available if you wanna TRY it out. Of course is cloud streaming so expect not perfect visuals if your internet connection isnt solid

 

It's expensive and not an easy thing to do. The PS4 is already an extremely expensive system to make, throwing on PS3 backwards compatibility would just add to the production cost.

 

Simple, buy a PS3, job done.

 

for the ps4
you can
re-buy your ps2 games as ps2 classic on ps4
sub to PSNOW for ps3 games
as for ps1 games , TBD (support for them might come, it might not)

 

Welcome to Sony.
Every gen, they get more anti-consumer and will leech your entire wallet dry.

 

Because the PS4 isn't powerful enough to emulate a PS3 at commercial level quality. I doubt the top gaming PCs would be.

 

In my opinion, the PS4 would use hardware simulation to play PS3, just as the PS3 handled backwards compatibility with the PS2. I'm not really sure if I'm correct though.

 

A hardware-based PS2 backwards compatible PS3 makes for a great legacy gaming machine. My CECHA02 lets me have the entire PS1 and PS2 library plus all the homebrew emulators too! It's great

 

Yup with all those 60 GB storage and glitches in some games.

All joking aside, the 720P Classic games are actually nice to have. But no emulation of any kind is perfect. Even official emulation. PS2 games have some glitches. (FINAL FANTASY X-2) And some graphical problems, and i think not every game is playable for some reason, maybe lag or whatever. But i never had problems with the games personally.

Let's be honest here, keeping our old systems are best option, why?

1. Adding backwards functions will make the console more valuable obviously as you can see with the ps3.
2. Having it in the system would be a deterrance to the PS4, cause then everyone would have it simply to play ps3, ps2, or ps1 and not buy any from PSN to play. Not only that but would be hard for players to focus on ps4 library of games with all the other options.
3. Sony would charge ridiculous prices for the systm. (You thought $599 was bad enough in 2006 E3 try $1000 or more.
4. SCALPERS. The main problem.
5. EXCLUSIVES ARE WHAT SELL GAMES AND CONSOLES.

Having one thing that does everything, is great for consumers and works for us, but not for business. Cause there no reason to get anything else putting others out of business. This is why having exclusive content is always important. Get a ps4 for fighting games, Xbox one for shooting games, Wii u for Good long lasting replay and party games, and steam for super sale deals and free online games. If all that was in one, then there is no reason to have different consoles. Bad for business.
