We need a world wide improvements to internet speeds and the removal of data caps or at least CAPs at 1TB with a weekly free reset.
Even with that Streaming can't be fully relayed on.
I know for some that is streaming is great to perfect for them.
But the rest needs options. like physical "ofc there is" and Backward support via on device hardware or emulation. SONY/XBOX/Nintendo needs to invest'n bring every old ...
Are they going to bring more/some Final fantasy characters ? cos this is what's wrong with KH 3 mostly .. the lack of any FF.
They Could At least bring in PS1/PS2 backward 'n start with a few first party titles to emulate from PS3 games
No need to limit themselves to hardware or software .. they could do both in a fixable way if they wanted.
PS5 should have at least PS1/PS2 backward support .. at least all of Digital titles from all stores as a start 'n then grow to PS3/PSP 'n vita .. why not <3
If it is gonna be another Hit-man 1/2 without a platinum trophy ..
then it may hurt FF7 remake without a plat to reward players/fans/newcomers
As long as Backward support is without needing PSnow/connecting/streaming - then it is a true excellent work
Even they go so far to only allow digital downloads of PS1/PS2/PSP-Vita 'n some PS3"disc or download" first party titles as a start.
But not a PSnow backward way - no thx, PSnow is a good as an option but not as the ONLY option
It does not mostly
Backward support might in fact increases the amount of remasters we see.
Like a publisher/developers sees a classic game is been sold so high 'n many players asks for a remaster of that game 'n they get encouraged to do so.
We just need an option " Check for updates to all installed games " just in case of auto-update does not work proper while in rest mode, We just click that button at least before putting the PS4 into rest mode
Even if steam does 5% / 95% raito
Epic will try to go for more exclusives.
/Boycotting Epic Store/fortnite/Epic first parties etc will fix many of the exclusivity problems.
If it is gonna be PS4/PS2/PS1 backward
along with at least first parties BC of PS3 games
then yes it is. It is the future of gaming - No steaming services will ever be.
No problem if they ask for 1$ fee for each game u already owned 'n u want to unlock it to be playable on PS5 " if Sony honestly claiming BC support is very expensive 'n hard to implements for PS3/PS2/PS1
throw on " why not dream about it &...
Bring full PS4 backward support ? then a good start
Bring PS4/PS2/PS1 full backward support ? then thunder is stolen ..
bring even at least as many as PS3 titles to be emulated 'n increase the number of the supported tiites ? then no more thunder left for competitors.
ofc BC digital or physical .. not PSnow ....
PSnow as optional ... not main source .
No FF characters
No Arena
No Ceirical
...
Everytime I remember the first point ... I keep thinking " I this a Kingdom hearts game ? or is this Disney advertisement game disguised as Kingdom hearts ?
I feel as if someone got paid to remove any FF characters so that the player only sees/think about Disney world.
Even tho the game is excellent in mechanic/fluid/graphics but it is crippled by the removal of FF ...
BoyCott Epic Store/First party games/services
But do not boycott the developer "who was unfortunate to use UE" once their exclusivity ended ... support them once their prices are reasonable. " also only when there is a big sale ... for Big Dev/publisher like ... ummm 2K/Gearbox 'n crowfounded teams/ or companies who betrayed their founders' trust.
Not to forget the Metro 'n what's follow of other same game with impending ...
Half-Good until you realised a game is gone from PSnow without even a hint/warning. losing your progress along with the money you invested.
Nothing like a pure BC support form all PS1/PS2/PS3 at least digitally. Better even on PS5 + PS4 full backward digital 'n disc support.
No true on bord emulation is no true backward support.
It is ruined with paid online only streaming subs ... why can't we just download or use old games we bought
I hope for a KZ1 remaster/remake with a style of RE2 work but keep dividing moments/location as they were.
Also KZ2/KZ3/KZL remaster with a faster/responsive UI ;'n improved online browsing with more freedom options 'n less limitations
all on PS4 'n with as soon PS5 with upgraded graphics/UI etc
A heritage that will help sony to Demoniate more
BC of PS1/PS2/PS4 'n even why not PSP/Vita as well
still hopping for PS3 emulation too
It will be a day 1 buy for many if the PS5 will have a full PS4 BC for games + PS1/PS2.
+ at least a PS3 emulation support 'n let it up to the developer/publishers to emulate or not their old PS3 titles
They should stop promoting/pushing PSnow if they are saying BC is hard to implement ...
one could understand no PS3 BC due to how hard to emulate .. but a PS5 with high powered CPU + huge Ram etc could at least help to emulate some titles with a bit of work.
BUT no PS1/PS2 BC ? that's a problem.
I understand PSnow is loved by a a big number of pps ... still not stable/widely available yet and costly. "Costly in a way that games...
About the PS3, Sony could show faith/goodwell by making an emulation for PS3 titles on PS5 and they bring every games own by Sony to it. Then they encourage other developers/publishers.
A refund ? not enough ! .. Everyone able should go for as far as forcing the game to be a steam release even if it is side by side to be an Epic release. Sue them for a refund+compensations 'n let them face million upon million of losses if they keep doing that.
