FF7 is for sale. It is only one, I think.

Godo to know.

I wonder if Sony is trying the same thing as Nintendo - fill in software gaps with more classic games?  Personally it drives me nuts, I shouldn't have to wait for the game collections to build back up again every time I buy a new piece of HW.

I could emulate Suikoden 1 and 2 this very night. But I am still waiting for Sony to come to their senses...



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

It is possible, as they did with FF7. Sony hates me.

Of course its possible, just 2 months ago they put Suikoden IV in the PS3 store instead of doing it for the PS4 store. 2 years prior they did the same with Suikoden 3. Like, whats that about?  Why not put them for sale in your newest console, geez? The logical answer is Sony hates you.

Get a vita my dude.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I would love if sony do that, but it looks like they don't have any interest on doing it.

I'm guessing PS3, Vita, and PSP are all playing PS1 via emulation. I highly doubt bringing that to PS4 would be difficult.

Maybe Sony feels there isn't much money in selling PS1 games because they already did it on older devices. So it just isn't a focus.

This is actually one of my biggest disappointments with PS4. I've been buying PS1 games on PS3 because I expected them to work on PS4 sooner or later, but nothing's happened. I know it's my own fault for expecting that, but I don't think it was an unreasonable expectation considering Sony's general stance on backwards compatibility. It's also one of the biggest reasons for my current dislike for consoles in general. On PC, I have backwards compatibility decades back from now. On consoles, I have backwards compatibility for one generation back if I'm lucky, and even that's not complete backwards compatibility.

Considering Sony has already done it with PS3, it shouldn't be too hard to do again because it's probably possibly to reuse large portions of the emulator from PS3.



Ali_16x on 02 May 2017

It pisses me off so much how they aren't backwards compat yet, I understand why PS3 games aren't but there is absolutely no fucking reason for PS1/PS2 games to not be BC. I really wish Microsoft was doing better so it would be push Sony to do better but eh.

PS3 games would be one thing. PS1 games would be inconsequential to most gamers though. PS1 games haven't aged well at all. A majority, anyway.



arcaneguyver on 02 May 2017

I think Sony isn't doing PS1 games because they would prefer they be remastered (FF7, Parappa). They probably want trophy support for all PS4 releases, which also rules out quick & dirty straight ports.

So...either emulate that shit or get a Vita TV.
