Push Square: "There’s no doubt that the PlayStation 4 is exciting for all sorts of reasons, but the next generation system’s lack of backward compatibility remains one of its biggest blemishes. While the manufacturer has promised to explore other methods of legacy support through Gaikai, the fact remains that your entire PlayStation 3 catalogue may never be supported by the impending machine. This, according to system architect Mark Cerny, was a subject that the entire company agonised over."
Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.
This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.
tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?
Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.
By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.
Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.
It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.
"Digital Extremes are today very happy and proud to announce that Warframe’s next highlightly anticipated Prime form launches soon with Protea Prime Access arriving on all platforms on May 1st, 2024." - Digital Extremes.
I thought it had bc through Gaikai
Look when I first bought my PS3 when the slim-model launched I missed some of the Ps2 games I used to own. I played the hell out of my Ps3 on Killzone 2's online, Mass Effect 2, MAG.......etc. on my Ps3 but I missed some of my Ps2 games.
A few years later I replayed the PC version of my favorite Ps2 game on my PC, it wasn't the same, the fond memories of the game seemed tainted afterwards. I think I might miss some of my Ps3 games but there will be so many awesome games coming to the Ps4 that I will be to occupied in the limited time I have to play games playing new releases. If you how ever are so AGONIZED that you cant play your favourite Ps3 game on your Ps4; for God's sake just keep your Ps3. Sony aren't holding a gun to your head.
Edit: Gakai???
Lack of BC is really a disappointment.
That's what she said.
I see a lot of re-releases via the store.
Being able to run past games via cloud service will not nearly be as good as playing the game directly from console.
At the end of the day, while Sony is offering some form of backwards compatibility, this is still a somewhat veiled way of selling you your games again. Something they are very good at and never shy away from.
