@Neonridr: No, for the first three years you did not have to pay to back up saves on PS4.
External Hard Drive support on PS4 has nothing to do with the ability to back up saves. External Hard Drive support stores the games and apps, not game saves. Game saves can be stored either via system storage, a USB storage device that isn’t set as an external hard drive for PS4, or cloud storage.
USB storage however does not and has not needed to be set up as exter...
If they find they make enough by leaving it solely accessible as a feature to cloud storage only?
Complacency doesn’t lead to change. Either people voice the fact that leaving backups of save data to cloud storage only isn’t acceptable or they accept it while it is the only option to deliver the message they’re willing to pay for the privilege of backing up.
To which why does Nintendo have to change anything if they see leaving it is more profitable for t...
@indyman77: If you want to get technical Nintendo has had some sort of online service way before a year ago and even before the Switch.
Ironically also three devices from Nintendo have already offered apps. The Wii, WiiU, and 3DS.
Hell. Nintendo has outlined the fact they’re going to a paid service for around a year now.
If anything is premature it is Nintendo by outing information prematurely, talking about upgrading their network prem...
“The same basic methodology also seems to work with copies of PS2 games, though these need a little bit of extra massage and recompilation with special tools to fool the PS4 into making them work with its built-in PlayStation Classics emulator. Tests so far show this basic method working on games ranging from Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 to Klonoa 2, the latter of which didn't even work on the PS3.”

I think it’s unique and a chance to win one Ian definitely a no brainer. The console itself is normally $499. There’s five of these retailing $2,625 total so a $525 console for free and limited to boot.
@TrashCanMonster: The kicker is that the PS3 version isn’t much more than the version they released for iOS with tweaks to compensate for a TV screen versus a mobile screen.
The iOS version is the PS2 version with upgraded textures and resolution along with achievement support. The mobile versions also support cloud saves with a Rockstar account to continue on another device. I wish consoles allowed use of the same cloud save.
The thing is Rockstar is a t...
@Goldby: Both of which were replaced and eliminated as an option. Also, not all 80GB PS3s supported PS2 backward compatibility. The only models that did were the 20GB, 60GB, and some 80GB models.
40, some 80, 120, 160, 250, 320, and 500 variations did not support PS2 backward compatibility short of rebuying from PSN if the option is available.
PSOne games are playable on any model both physical and digital.
I just wonder how many emulators Sony has running for PS4. You’d have to imagine if they have a working PS2 emulator along with a working PSP emulator they also have a PSOne emulator among other things.
PSOne titles on PS4 physically is unlikely to happen though as the PS4 doesn’t have a CD diode. So no CD reading ability.
I think it may beg the question. While PS4 can’t really read a UMD could digital rights be transferred? Japan at one point had a program that would convert UMDs to digital for the PSP Go as well.
The story also talks about the existence of a PS2 emulator Sony uses for PS4 as well with Classic titles.
But isn’t that allowing the story, particularly here on N4G, to be very clickbait worthy? It’s just misleading and it’s simple to edit to save confusion and add context.
To me SKU is just vague. While SKU in context here refers to software coming the title does not isolate itself to just software. Hardware also carries a SKU. The description here on N4G doesn’t help either.
I don’t fault the person adding the story here but Nintendo Everything for making it appear as such without a click required. I do however again wish the person who posted the story here would add in the fact that it’s software.
The document in the story is labeled “SWITCH SOFTWARE UPCOMING RELEASES” at the top. It’s a list of software, not hardware. Prices are all $59.99.
It’s not about new systems but rather new titles for Switch
May I request one thing?
I understand you transferred the title and description from Nintendo Everything but can you add in the fact that it is game listings, not console listings? Both have SKUs so I thought it odd they’d be releasing 16 new variations of the console.
However the story is about new titles coming to Switch.
@UltraNova: While possible you’d imagine they’d have something for their reps to say in that instance.
Or at the least Sony would have said something. Surely they’d know why their games aren’t available for preorder on the outlet.
Though a falling out would explain why neither would want to answer as well.
Yes, that’s exactly the case. PaRappa the Rapper Remastered on PS4 was found to be the PSP version with an emulator and higher res graphics. The main takeaway is that there is a working PSP emulator for PS4 and Sony has it.
It seems odd though that it’s isolated to one publisher
“Business Insider reached out to both Amazon and Sony for comment, but neither company responded. According to customer complaints on social media, Amazon's customer-service team did not seem to be aware of the issue.”
They do similar with the Call of Duty Endowment. Content gets created exclusively for CODE where 100% of proceeds are used to partner with employers to assist veterans and military personnel find work when they get home. Jobs where they can sustain their lives after returning. It recently expanded to the UK.

So what you’re saying then is Sony just has to have that profit? They have to take that cut? A cut that they determine and set?
And what you’re talking about doesn’t work either.

If you look at the list the only things not delivered are Anthem and Crackdown 3. Everything else did come to fruition before now from E3 2017.
