Technically, there's no real barrier. The question is, will Sony activate the feature? They could just block PS4 discs from reading and force you to buy the remasters for the PS4 instead. Until they announce it, we can't be totally sure Sony will include the feature. |
Yea. They could also make PS5 release a deadly nerve agent when a Ps4 disc is inserted.
Sorry, but there really isnt anything that points against PS5 BC. Its not like Sony has ever been outspokenly against compatability to the previous generation of games. There were exceptions made in the past due to exorbitant costs and hardware difficulties. Nothing of this has remained. With technology emerging (Ps4p) capable to upscale and improve games in other ways with relative ease, it is actually more likely than ever. It is cheaper, less resources binding than remastering. It makes remaster obsolete.
From the economical point of view it would make no sense to invest into a such versatile technology with great potential and not make full use of it. I mean, it is so cheap, even Microsoft is doing it.
Sony didnt do a clean hardware cut for nothing in this difficult period of time. Cerny had to bring very convincing arguments to the table. If it wasnt a sure thing he wouldnt be allowed to be so open about it.
The only thing you can be unsure of, how exactly they re going to handle the digital part.
Another thing im sure of, in the future people will obscure what was said, similar to the "ps4 used game/DRM" case.
Hunting Season is done...
