What if your older games got a noticeable performance boost from BC?  Would that entice you?

yes. But that is never the case. I recall PS2 games looking worse on the PS3 than they did on the PS2.

But again, I have my PS3 still, it is in great working order, and I have not used it in over 1 year (when I played SO4). So lets say the PS4 had BC, in the 20 months I have owned my PS4 I would have played 1 PS3 game on it.


My PS2 bumped the resolution up for most games quite a bit ( but MGS3 took a hell of a performance hit during the battle with The Fury).  Same for PS2 running PS1 and Xbox 360 running Xbox games.

I haven't used my PS4 to run 1995 games, either.  I use my Vita for that, though!  And after playing Mass Effect on Xbox 1, the game ran better than it ever did on Xbox 360.  We'll agree to disagree but, like I've said in multiple threads, I've always taken advantage of BC whenever it was offered.

 

*edit* looking at my site, the last PlayStation game of any kind that I've played (that will change when I get Batman on Tuesday! Preorder paid off!) was LBP3..... On PS3.  It's a dead console for some but for others, it lives on.  Good games don't have an expiration date.  PS3 had some good games.  The PS4s arrival doesn't change that.
