Wonder if he's confusing forward compatibility with backwards compatibility. BC really shouldn't need any developer interaction. If you have to code something special for BC, then it's not really BC. Maybe if there are programmed enhancements to BC, but that's not something I can see being a requirement.

Wait... on PC an emulator does everything and the guy says they have to do extra work to make the games compatible? Something isn't right about that statement but i could be wrong. I thought the software inside the console makes the magic.

I believe he means something like how Dead or Alive 6 was developed on xbox one with a 4k graphics mode that doesn't even work properly for xbox one x. Dead or Alive 6 high graphics mode was probably developed for the next xbox console. Games can be cross developed for both xbox one and xbox series x

Okay, if a console is backwards compatible, like Series X and PS5 the developers don't have to do a damn thing! Pop an Xbox One game in your Series X or a PS4 game into your PS5, and the system is already able to run it!

It only cost the developer more money, if they are making NEW games and they want to release them on the old systems as well as the new systems! Because of coarse the games would be enhanced for the newer hardware.

Gaming Bolt completely changed what the dev said. The dev said more hardware updates more often (like the mid-gen kind) is what causes more work. He is absolutely right about that. That has nothing to do with BC.

What GamingBolt fail to mention is that the studio they interviewed was bought by Google a few months back. Their role moving forward is developing games exclusively for Stadia.

So, although I like the guy they interviewed, any input he has into the process on consoles going forward is pure speculation - as is usually the case in these GamingBolt 'interviews'

Couple things.

1.) This guy/studio is now owned by google. So he isn’t making series x and ps5 games. He probably doesn’t even have a dev kit. He is now able to talk crap about Microsoft’s and Sony’s platforms because he doesn’t have to rely on them anymore

2.) This studio has made one game. 1. So I take what they say lightly.

It's good to know you're still at it Gamingbolt. You just keep doing what you're doing. I'll continue to not read your articles and post a snide comment every time you post a "says dev" piece.

The phone model won’t work with consoles, I can see it affecting the gaming industry in a bad way. I mean look at what this generation already brought, expensive incomplete games.

This article makes no sense.
The console manufacturer will be the one making sure PS4 games run on PS5.
This will either be done by brute force through emulation, through hardware (if similar enough, which it is), or through some sort of other software solution.
