There must be other people wondering if we can play our PS3 and Xbox 360 games on the next gen consoles, right? Theo hopes we are able to, he says it would be a big slap in the face if we bought a game about a month or 2 before the next gen consoles come out. Would people then have to switch between their next gen and last gen consoles?
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.
Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
Next gen xbox....99% possibility
PS4....From rumors we are hearing they will have to be streamed using Gaikai.
So i guess the answer is yes.
Way too much speculation going on, it's getting boring. How about we all just sit back and wait for the announcements?
No all 360's and PS3 are rigged to explode on release of their respective successors ¬_¬
Seriously though, if you want to play current gen games come next gen then just don't sell your current gen system.
I'm gonna say no. Sony and Microsoft are making too much money off selling classic games online as well as the HD remakes that have been coming around. Just resize the textures and sell it as a new game. Brilliant! But seriously, Sony learned the hard way that ensuring 100% backwards compatibility is more work/effort/money than it's worth. The first big price break for the PS3 came after they switched to software emulation and that was only partially successful. Whereas Microsoft never put much emphasis into BC and did just fine in the market. If they can keep the console prices cheaper and make more money selling the games you already bought back to you as a download, then that is what (I strongly believe) they are going to do.
In a couple of years when ps3 and 360 are dirt cheap, as well as their games....I'll buy it all!!!! and not have to worry if my next gen console can play...although I agree that it should be backward compatible.
