The new console generation is almost upon us. We know that the Nintendo Wii U will be releasing sometime this year, we also know that the Wii U will indeed be backwards compatible with the original Wii. However, it wont be backwards compatible with the Nintendo Gamecube, this news might bother some people, but it got me to wondering if a lack of backwards compatibility would actually sway people from one console to another if the function was left out of their favorite brands console next generation.
Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the best games from the PlayStation 2's vast library."
Sony is taking actions as video by Moore’s Law is Dead, has been issued with a copyright claim.
And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.
Digital foundry put a video out saying what he leaked was exactly what they also knew about the PS5 PRO. So no it's not just stuff he made up
Aye because they'd go to the effort of copyright claiming it if it didn't exist 🙃😂 you'd have to be a special kind to be thinking its not a thing by now
U mean the specs that we'll established digital foundry which said these are the actual specs published a video on 2 weeks ago I mean they are only one of most trusted sites for tech information but they just made up a video for the sake of it
I would love for it all to be fake, but lots of people are saying they've seen/heard the same thing. But, man, we 100% don't need mid-gen upgrades when we're failing hard to optimize current hardware.
if I recall Sony lowered sales expectations for PS5 earlier this year. if that is the case we won't hear anything about a Pro until next year or shortly before/when it's dropping. After all, if the Pro was dropping this year/fiscal year they wouldn't have lowered expectations.
As for squashing rumors. Yeah, shit like this prevents potential buyers from adopting now, just like slim rumors in the past. It only makes sense to keep things under wraps from a business perspective. Despite living in a technological age of unfettered access to information we don't need to know whats going on behind closed doors be that at Sony, Nintendo, MS, or amongst any development studios. When the steak is done we shall feast.
By the time games are actually made to take advantage of the pro spec's the ps6 will be released or close to it.
Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro
Pro won't lessen sales sames ps4 pro never and the ps4 pro was more relevant at the time cos move to 4k this not needed
Yea, my brother got his PS4 (coz of a good deal) after the PS4 Pro's release.
^^same here. I got a base 4 for only $100 off a guy who bought the Pro. then a few months later I found a guy on craigslist selling a pro for $100 because it was left behind by his former roommate who moved out. That was the beginning of my obsession to buy up the different variants of the PS4 that were released.
As of now I am really only missing the 500m one and the gold slim but otherwise I have pretty much all the other retail ones. https://consolevariations.c...
Anyone with 4K that appreciates 60fps is gonna disagree about it not being needed.
DLSS is a god send for Nvidia, and there's been nothing like it for AMD...yet ...
They will announce it around E3 timeframe about May-June whenever they do a showcase for the year.
I don't think it will pll still haven't seen the potential of ps5 yet
agreed, but it might sell if they announce some 1st party games to lead the way. if people see the difference with the base version they can move on. for my sake I am still gaming mainly on PS4 (still not finished with RDR2 due to lack of gaming time). I have a huge backlog on PS5 I am hoping to get into.
why? game makers havnt even come close to maxing out current spec yet, were getting al lthese new TFlops and game maker are making crappy remakes not worthy of the ps3
People keep saying that, yet we still have games running at near HD resolutions, 30fps, and ray tracing features turned off.
I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣
As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
if it's Sony or Nintendo, yes, if it's Microsoft, no
It's gonna really depend on what else the console has to offer. We've seen consoles do pretty much anything that any other device can do already this generation so it'll take something pretty unique to win me over if it DOESN'T have backwards compatibility.
If the 8th generation only does one or two new things that don't even enhance gameplay or a gamer's experience by much on top of no BC, what point is there in even going into the next generation so soon?
No but it would be nice.
Sold my Gamecube, kept my accessories and software, and use my Nintendo Wii console to play GC games, from time to time. I plan on purchasing a Wii U console, and it's been stated that it'll have Wii software playback, so I'll keep my Wii for my GC games, and play my Wii games on the Wii U (with the ability to hopefully play Wii games on the Wii Upad).
This gen is much different as these consoles do so much. If they r smart, they will have achiev/trophy transfer with friends. It should come with a transfer cable so u can put everything on ur new system. But, they should keep selling games and stuff on the psn or xbla. Sonyis smart. We have seen a deluge of great games that even a hardcore gamer wont get through 50% of what they want to play. Offer these games digitally or at a reduced price with indie games and many ppl will b on these systems for years.
Backward compatibility isnt a must. If it is increase shipping price, then no. It depends their strategy. If they wanna keep ppl on these systems, they wont do it. But, if another does it, they have to. That being said, if they want to saturate the market with old systems to get ppl hooked, they may not make money selling more this gen consoles but ppl will buy used ones in droves, which will ultimately benefit them. Also, sony is smart because if they have online play, it will make the ps3 relevant for a long while.
And if they surprise us and release the next data disc, it will turn tje ps3 into an ols blu ray player to keep. If they could simply update their browser. Microsoft has been smart in that they hav also turned their console into a media player. But they will have to make online free to ppl. Also, if they are expensive, many will wait because times are very hard.
