When someone complains about the PS4’s lack of backwards compatibility they’re instantly met with comments like, “Keep your PS3 — it isn’t going to self-destruct. When was the last time you played a PS2 game on your PS3?” or “We don’t need another $600 console.” I’m tired of reading comments like these. So I’m going to deconstruct them and tell you why backwards compatibility matters.
Fortnite Festival Season 3 is here and this time it is featuring Billie Eilish, here is everything you can unlock in the Festival Pass.
Dennis says “SaGa Emerald Beyond is a challenging throwback that hardcore veteran players will feel right at home with.”
The latest from a resurgent Atari team, Lunar Lander Beyond touches down on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.
No it doesn't. Keep your old system and stop trying to hold back next gen.
If it's backwards compatible it's only going to take from the current budget and leave a less powerful system because of it.
Nobody is saying it doesn't matter at all, most people just tend to exaggerate it's importance. Calling anyone who offers an alternative solution to backwards compatibility an "apologist" is clearly jumping to an offensive conclusion.
It matters only to those that complain about it...
Havent touched a ps2 game (Not counting HD versions) since 2006. BC is really only good for the 1st 12-18 months of the system. After that there are gonna be plenty of ps4 games to keep people busy. Until i finish all my ps3 games (30 game backlog right now) i'll keep it, even when i buy a ps4
It matters but if it increases the price of the ps4 its not worth it.
