Exploring the frustration around the lack of retro games on PlayStation 4 and Sony's poor approach to Backwards Compatibility.
Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida has responded to speculation regarding his involvement with the rumored Final Fantasy IX remake.
had stated that the rumored Final Fantasy IX remake is real and that it will retain the classic turn-based combat seen in the original.
I hope this is true, that's what I want from a remake. FF7R is actually really good, but not what I was looking for from the remake.
I can't wait for it to be revealed and I am hoping it will not be episodic or simply a remaster.
EA has revealed the Madden NFL 25 new gameplay features incoming for the PS5, Xbox Series and PC versions, as the closed beta kicks off today.
Bawal from Tech4Gamers writes "Red Dead Redemption 2 is still incredibly popular today, and it's a shame it hasn't received a 60FPS upgrade for consoles yet."
Kind of wonder why they can't release a patch for 60fps. I don't expect a native ps5 just a patch to allow the original PS4 version run at 60 on ps5. They did it for the red dead redemption remaster.
It needs far more than 60fps, better resolution, fix the trash checkerboard rendering that somehow makes 1440p look worse than 1080p, fix the input lag, and fix the wack HDR implementation.
I've been waiting for this since getting my ps5 I don't think it's a big ask the game sold 32 million copies plus.
There's already homebrew out there to achieve this on modded consoles.
Knowing Rockstar they probably want to release a native version but will delay it over and over like GTA v which didn't need a native port tbh a 60fps patch would of been fine.
I predict however were more likely to get GTA IV remastering ported to PS4/5/switch same as rdr
Here we freaking go again with this:
It's very freaking simple..unlike the previous xbox360 processing chip inside it..to emulate the PS3 cell processor, and its CellBE token ring Bus, Sony already knows it is just not viable to do at this point because of costs involved to simulate at a price point cheap enough to do such at a price point low enough to be viable in this market.
With Microsoft, xbox360 processor it's far more viable to do such with the Xbox one , than it is for Sony with its PS3's chipset on the PS4.
All last cycle, oh the PS3 was lambasted for being $599.00, it was Memed, all I've seen on gamer forums last generation was lots of talk about the $599.00 price point, and snide back handed statements..oh I did not buy my new console to play old game's. Where are the new Gamez Sony..or PlayStation Has no Gamez, which continues even today..remasterstation, indie station..
Well , this remasterstation indie station is selling pretty well, due despite many seeming to want to claim it's selling based on slight power over its competition, or that it's games are over hyped and under delivered..
It's clear, that maybe it's selling better for more reasons than just backhanded compliment reasons.
The Cell processors EIB is 204GB/sec bandwidth alone , to get that in simulated mode would require a very compute heavy processing or add in the freaking CellBE into the PS4, both of which would increase the overall cost of the system.
The days of selling their PlayStation systems at a Loss are over.
Sony chose to charge for BC and they have the hardware lead ..... there is zero chance they change that model. They do charge via PS Now because they can...and they will continue to do so.
Not gonna happen.. I've lost count the amount of times they've said its not possible because it's different architecture.
Although for me it's a nice feature to have, I'm happy having it on my X1 only because I never had a 360 so I'm able to play most 360 games I missed out on.
So it wouldn't be a big deal to me if it ever did come to ps4 since I played everything I wanted on ps3... I know I'm not everyone but I'm just saying.
Some of these articles need to stop getting approved as they're doing nothing more than trolling.
PlayStation 4 does not have any backwards compatibility whatsoever by the pure definition of what backwards compatibility actually is.
You are not able to put any game inside the PlayStation 4 from any previous generation and have it actually work on the platform.
Could be because there are more important things to worry about then BC.
