Wonder what this means, especially with the launch of ps premium


This is awesome news. Just wondering why it took them so fucking long?
But PlayStation players don't care about backwards compatibility and don't buy new consoles to play old games. Or so they're been saying...
Seems like they are really committing to their legacy titles from this point on
Most gamers in general will choose newer games over BC gamesBut PlayStation players don't care about backwards compatibility and don't buy new consoles to play old games. Or so they're been saying...
Not sure what strawmen you're talking to, but the facts show the vast majority of gamers don't play much BC games.But PlayStation players don't care about backwards compatibility and don't buy new consoles to play old games. Or so they're been saying...
Old games look like shit (PSOne/2 especially). Unless they do some kind of upscaling then they will still look like shit.But PlayStation players don't care about backwards compatibility and don't buy new consoles to play old games. Or so they're been saying...

Competition. (Lack of it)This is awesome news. Just wondering why it took them so fucking long?

Specially since the half-assed way they do it usually offers the worse experience by far. Last year I bought FFVII on Steam, looks ridiculously bad. The PS1 version using on Retroarch with a good CRT filter at 4K looks gorgeous and close enough to how the game would look on a CRT.If a person plays on a PS1 or PS2, or (through an emulator) Sony really has no data as to how many people are playing those games. Those old consoles aren't online to report to Sony, and I doubt an emulator reports anything to them. So them saying no one plays old games is just supposition.
Yea, maybe the people that care aren't there because they are not providing what they want.Well its pretty easy to not care about something that isn't possible on your platform.
Then when it gets available then everyone wants it.
That still remains true, the team is likely going to be aimed at filling the new PS+ with BC enhanced games. Hence the requirement.But PlayStation players don't care about backwards compatibility and don't buy new consoles to play old games. Or so they've been saying...
If they are truly serious about preservation then they should port their games to PC at least PS3 ones. But even an official emulator could be great news. Hopefully this is a first step towards the return of the old peak Sony (PS1 - PS2)
PS1 game visuals are an adquired taste even when downsampling to 4K and applying all enhancements in Duckstation. Incresing resolution can be detrimental at times. But high end PS2 games can look great just by increasing resolution and applying 16x AF. A good emulator should also help these games to hit target framerates more often.

I don’t see that mentioned in the OP, just a guess or is there another source?This isn't about BC, it's about preserving games going forward making it easier to remaster and remake them.
It turns out when Jim Ryan said PS1 Gran Turismo looked like shit he was just criticizing how poor Sony's emulator was. It probably did look like shit on an HD TV without filters.Jim Ryan finally gives a shit about old games?
MGS4, Killzone 2~3, Resistance 1~3, Infamous 1~2, Ratchet & Clank games (6 I think), Demon's Souls... come on.Most major Sony PS3 games have PS4 ports that have preserved them. The ones that haven't largely aren't worth it.
I was thinking that. Maybe he felt that those games needed to be brought back to modern standards?It turns out when Jim Ryan said PS1 Gran Turismo looked like shit he was just criticizing how poor Sony's emulator was. It probably did look like shit on an HD TV without filters.
