Next-Gen: The Backwards-Compatibility Anomaly

The PlayStation 5 has beat out Series X in many multiplatform comparisons to varying degrees. Last-gen games, however, showcase a major role reversal with Series X offering a more tangible advantage.

It's not an anomaly, MS spent all last gen working on their BC software, Sony just started. Will we see it expand to meet MSs version? Who knows, would be cool, but i wouldn't hold my breath. Just greatful we get any for of BC honestly

this mentality melts away once you get a pc. then it's not about luck it's about gaming with a complete library :)

Sunny123451555d ago

Lol complete library with not a single exclusive goty in the last 10 years. I think pc had like 2 exclusive games above the meta of 90 online past 5-7 years. No thanks to your mediocre library

phoenixwing1555d ago

You have to be really delusional to hate on pc gaming library that spans around 40 years.

isarai1555d ago

I have a PC, it isn't that easy, especially with older games where you have to start running off dos, fiddling with compatibility modes or virtual machines. Sure modern games are fine, but if we're talking going back as far as consoles, it's not easy

AndrewM1555d ago

Just recently got a gaming pc for first time in over 12 years....and your comment is still dumb.

Dragonopolis1554d ago (Edited 1554d ago )

Its not a totally dumb comment but a bit harsh. As far as a full library..... most are generic knock offs of popular games within their genre. 60%-70% of the games are blah on pc.

Add in all the cheaters and exploiters makes online pc gaming not fun.

Also in the PC world the regular gamer who has the most expensive hardware is at major advantage over those gamers who stick to basic controls mechanisms. Great Hardware goes a long way in overcoming poor strategies. Hardware can make or brake a gamer, no matter how good they are, and paying for premium PC hardware is a must for any serious gamer on PC

Type 40 or more wordspm and a macro keyboard is godlike on PC

You're missing the point dude. With PC you don't just get PC games, you get ALL the games.

I love that the new hardware is bringing a new lease on life to existing games. Hell... I'd love it if Sony could add in PS3 support at some point as well. I know i will get disagrees who think new machine means 'only' new games but we are seeing new experiences with existing games. So why not embrace the benefits of making something old feel new again?

Orchard1555d ago (Edited 1555d ago )

Totally agree - I would love PS3 backwards compatibility. I'd love to replay MGS4 on a modern console at 60FPS (or even a stable 30fps if Konami won't patch it - the game struggles a bit on PS3).

Fist4achin1555d ago

Full BC would be the greatest!

dmonee1555d ago

Are we still doing this? I thought fanboy articles were a ps3, xbox360 thing?

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1555d ago

Thank God last gen games are BC and better than ever because if it weren't for them we'd all still be playing Demon's Soul's and The Medium for the last 5 months....

The Division 2: Battle for Brooklyn DLC Launches

Time to gear up and save the day as the latest DLC for The Division 2 is here.

HectixRose24d ago

Haven't touched division 2 in 4 years but this dlc brought me back, still astonished by the graphics of this game and the attention to detail. Brooklyn dlc map is content packed with decent about of collectibles and side activities. Thinking of getting the premium pass, because I'll be doing 100% dlc completion.

Garethvk24d ago

That is good to know. I played through the game and all DLC until about a year ago. It glit he'd after an update and the only support offered was delete and I stall again. So that derailed my enthusiasm.

Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom44d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7744d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.
