James Joell-Ireland from wedotech.net writes "When you buy a car, you don't expect several years down the line to be told that the break peddle will be taken away from the car and that your left with having to uses the soles of your shoes to stop it. No, thought not. You don't expect to buy digital satellite to find several years later it no longer has high definition channels. So why then should we accept that if a videogame you buy depending on its online success rate, its servers will shutdown because the game house wanted to save money? It appears some of you do. If you happen to be one of them, then you are quintessentially mad."

Some of these digi titles need to be converted to run on ps5 games like the last guy will be gone now
In bad 720p streaming quality + we don't know how long Sony will allow PS3 titles on PSNow.
After all (and as far as it is known) they still use PS3 hardware for PS3 games. I really hope they use an emulator nowadays, but I don't think so.
Mulando don't know if you've used Now but games like that run fantastic lol. Playing Locoroco remastered looks damn near exactly the same as downloading. I know because I've played on my PC streamed plenty of times and you don't get a single artifact or feel delay. It really just depends on the title. Those ones are fine
Or...he's correct. They have telemetry, they can see how often people play old games. You people need to understand that if you go on N4G, reddit, FB groups, etc. to talk about games or keep up with games, then you are the hardcore of the hardcore and you makeup a tiny, TINY portion of the gaming public.
None of that is to say that I agree with taking down the stores or support Sony not doing BC for PS1-3.
But N4G PS gamers says people don't...only new exclusives matter
I really wish we got a Tokyo Jungle sequel with a bit more budget to it. That game was so unique.

One of Xbox 360's best mech games is coming back.
The original Chromehounds was amazing and hands-down one of the best exclusive games for the Xbox 360. I really hope a sequel is being made.
Phil actually said they would go back to work on older xbx exclusiv ips and even though ill be happy to see fromsoftware and Ms work on a sequel to chromehounds, i'd be even happier if they worked on a sequel to Otogi or better still do both.
Chomehounds was so ahead of it's time, a new one utilizing the new XBL tech would make so much sense and would potentially be an awesome game.
Don't get your hopes up, i did when i found this on Reddit, then the date was Calculated as ending on April 1st, April Fools day, its a hoax
digital distribution is ultimately a poor value for the consumer.
Once we go all digital the publishers will have all software 'check in' to validate your licence...when they shut down the validation server you're screwed.
I still have my Atari 2600 cartridges and no one can stop me from playing them.
How many times have I talked about this very topic... But hey, gamers don't matter in the end so when they go the way of online validation and being chained to their servers and other people who may or may not have bought the game for me to play too... I'm done.
Think about this, guys. Step by step for you simple minded "not the god-like rockband of the 80's either" people.
I buy a game.
I go home to play it.
In order for me to experiene the game I just spent money on you all have to have bought it too.
Does that make sense? Were you there at the register with me? Did you give me some money towards the game? Nope... and nore did I for you. Yet, in order to play it we have to all participate and when we don't or move on to something else the developers shut down the server so no one can play it.
That sounds like true hardcore gaming, man. What an experience.
in order for me to play a game I just bought you have to have bought it and, to top it off, not be playing any other game but that one.
God the future looks bright.
If gas runs out, our cars cannot run. If you run out of money, you cannot get gas and run the car you already paid money for.
If electricity goes out, so does our TVs, air conditioning, video games, etc. We pay for all those things.
Why should the companies continue paying to keep the servers online for titles that barely get any players?
