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.
Gori: Cuddly Carnage is out this summer, an adult-themed action platformer featuring a hero cat with a hoverboard that fights against mutated toys who destroyed the world.
If you want to try your hand at some of the new bending abilities in Fortnite, be sure to head to one of the elemental shrines for a scroll.
If you are wondering what classifies as a ranged weapon, this article lists all available ranged weapons in Chapter 5 Season 2 of Fortnite.
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.
