By your logic we had to not go back to the PS1 or PS2 because they didn't have HDD but memory cards, or they played on CRT tv and not on HD modern one. You can go by this logic for every generation. You can say the same SSD thing about the PS4 as well. So people don't have to go back because of this. The patches and installation on GT5 and GT6 specifically were big and long yes, but that is from the exception games, that are rare cases. Nowadays pretty much every game you have to wait for download and install around the same time or even more, so don't bash the PS3 gen about that. It was longer even in the PS4 gen. On PS3 and 360, 90% of the time you could play straight away cuz most of the games didn't require installation on 360 or PS3, and the other that require it was 10 minutes at most, way way less than the hours you wait now for downloading and installing. I would, many others would, and many others and I included do, all over the time. You are welcome. |
My kids recently played Skylanders on it, didn't need an install. That's indeed something worthy to go back to! Just plays straight from disc. But it would be too slow nowadays since disc tech has not kept up. HVD never made it to mainstream. 4K Blu-rays are merely souped up blu-rays, slow.
Patches are much better now. Most games don't need to make a full copy anymore for every patch. It took 26 minutes to copy GT Sport on PS4 (standard HDD) to apply a patch that downloads in less than a minute. Plus you need all that extra space to install a patch because of the copy requirement.
I can bash the ps3 gen for ruining gaming. The crutch of release now, fix/finish later started in gen 7. Plus gen 7 shifted multiplayer from couch to online. As well as killing the A game industry. Either AAA or indie. And of course paid online.
Tbh PS4 and PS5 would be behind PS3 for me if it wasn't for VR. PSVR1 re-ignited my passion for gaming, PSVR2 now gets 90% of my game time. I definitely wouldn't mind playing all the great PS3 games again in VR. But on TV, nah that time has passed.
