Next-Gen: The Backwards-Compatibility Anomaly

The PlayStation 5 has beat out Series X in many multiplatform comparisons to varying degrees. Last-gen games, however, showcase a major role reversal with Series X offering a more tangible advantage.

It's not an anomaly, MS spent all last gen working on their BC software, Sony just started. Will we see it expand to meet MSs version? Who knows, would be cool, but i wouldn't hold my breath. Just greatful we get any for of BC honestly

phoenixwing1874d ago

this mentality melts away once you get a pc. then it's not about luck it's about gaming with a complete library :)

Sunny123451873d ago

Lol complete library with not a single exclusive goty in the last 10 years. I think pc had like 2 exclusive games above the meta of 90 online past 5-7 years. No thanks to your mediocre library

phoenixwing1873d ago

You have to be really delusional to hate on pc gaming library that spans around 40 years.

isarai1873d ago

I have a PC, it isn't that easy, especially with older games where you have to start running off dos, fiddling with compatibility modes or virtual machines. Sure modern games are fine, but if we're talking going back as far as consoles, it's not easy

AndrewM1873d ago

Just recently got a gaming pc for first time in over 12 years....and your comment is still dumb.

Dragonopolis1873d ago (Edited 1873d ago )

Its not a totally dumb comment but a bit harsh. As far as a full library..... most are generic knock offs of popular games within their genre. 60%-70% of the games are blah on pc.

Add in all the cheaters and exploiters makes online pc gaming not fun.

Also in the PC world the regular gamer who has the most expensive hardware is at major advantage over those gamers who stick to basic controls mechanisms. Great Hardware goes a long way in overcoming poor strategies. Hardware can make or brake a gamer, no matter how good they are, and paying for premium PC hardware is a must for any serious gamer on PC

Type 40 or more wordspm and a macro keyboard is godlike on PC

@Sunny12345

You're missing the point dude. With PC you don't just get PC games, you get ALL the games.

I love that the new hardware is bringing a new lease on life to existing games. Hell... I'd love it if Sony could add in PS3 support at some point as well. I know i will get disagrees who think new machine means 'only' new games but we are seeing new experiences with existing games. So why not embrace the benefits of making something old feel new again?

Orchard1874d ago (Edited 1874d ago )

Totally agree - I would love PS3 backwards compatibility. I'd love to replay MGS4 on a modern console at 60FPS (or even a stable 30fps if Konami won't patch it - the game struggles a bit on PS3).

Fist4achin1873d ago

Full BC would be the greatest!

dmonee1873d ago

Are we still doing this? I thought fanboy articles were a ps3, xbox360 thing?

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1873d ago

Thank God last gen games are BC and better than ever because if it weren't for them we'd all still be playing Demon's Soul's and The Medium for the last 5 months....

Four fan-favorite THQ Nordic games are coming to Switch and Switch 2

"Get ready to beam up, paint over, and dive deep: THQ Nordic is thrilled to announce that Destroy All Humans!, Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide will release on Nintendo platforms later this year!" - THQ Nordic.

darthv7248d ago

This is a bit of a stretch but i see this a s a missed opportunity for THQ to have made a full Destroy All humans collection containing not only 1 & 2 but also Big Willy Unleashed and Path of Furon. Those last two are stuck on the Wii and 360 respectively.

TGG_overlord47d ago

I agree with you 100%, so it's a blunder with no doubt.

chicken_in_the_corn46d ago

I'm hoping a Big Willy remake is next.

gold_drake47d ago

are those rly fan favourites? lol

1nsomniac46d ago

For some reason I thought that was a psychonaughts and got excited

Hereandthere46d ago

Nintendo switch is amazing, Nintendo when they were down innovated to recover, while microsoft and xbox are now gone and hiding behind pc.

The Division 2: No Plans for a New Raid in Year 8; Exotics Balancing,Specialization Rework Confirmed

The Division 2 devs have confirmed there is no planned raid for Year 8, though they did confirm a bunch of other important stuff on the way.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH47d ago

Just give me cross save so I can get back into this game. I got thousands of hours on this game on Xbox. I plan on PC now and I’m not starting over. Do you guys have any idea what I had to go through just to get Eagle Bearer!?!? No way I’m going through that again. Add Cross save Massive please!

INMATEofARKHAM46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Cross save just isn't going to happen. There's ubisoft accounts that have played it on all three platforms.

That said raid/incursion exclusives aren't so exclusives anymore and not really that deal breaking. Its the expertise/proficient that's the big hang up.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH46d ago

Yeah either way I’m not touching that game again unless I can bring my progress to PC.

TheColbertinator45d ago

The story needs some serious content for the rest of the year. Warlords of New York was the last time I cared for the storyline and all the new "loot" does not excite me at all.
