BC BTFO!
Speaking to Time, Sony's head of global sales and marketing, Jim Ryan offered the following:
>"When we've dabbled with backwards compatibility, I can say it is one of those features that is much requested, but not actually used much. That, and I was at a Gran Turismo event recently where they had PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, and the PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?"

>marketing exec is a grafixfag
what a shocker!
It's hilarious how the XseX reveal made sonyfags so insecure that they started making up features, and when they are all deconfirmed, they'll act as if they never cared.
PC emulation has made backward compatibility obsolete.
Isn't there like PS2 games on their marketplace?
hows that Cell emulation going for you?
I'll buy a ps5 a launch if it has xbone tier PS2 backwards compatibility
Otherwise fuck it
>he hasn't seen how Halo 1 was handled from Xbox to PC
>to this day shaders and bumpmapping is broken so it looks like ass
It's still nice to have. People do like to occasionally play their older games.
>ultra normalfag casuala believe only graphics matter and games stop being good once they're old
Imagine my shock
I was planning to buy one if it had backward compatibility. Now it's a big trucking no.
>xbone tier
so it has like 10 games total and the only one that matters is actually a mobile port?
Nintendo doesn't have BC either.
Sony Remastered more old games than anyone on the PS4. Hypothetical cunts.
all Wii U titles have been released on Switch tho
so why buy a switch you fucking faggot
It's not BC if you have to buy it twice retard. If you're going with that argument, then there's lots of PS3 games on PS4 too.
why make new games when you can just do shoddy, cheap "remasters" of old games outsourced to SEA studios? You get paid twice for the same game!
cool can I play motorstorm on ps4?
>"Hey, remember that game you didn't buy and didn't actually want?"
>"Well here it is again with absolutely nothing changed. That'll be $60 lol"
reading comprehension
>Jim Ryan
Why would you ever listen to someone with 2 first names?
To play Switch and Wii U games?
You can play Ninja Gaiden Black, Panzer Dragoon, Blinx and JSRF. I'm not sure what other Xbox games matter
only for Nintendo consoles, ironically. PS2 is still not emulated well no matter what people will tell you. Honestly between Sony and MS the only console reasonably emulated is the PS3 which is fucking insane.
Xbone BC with OG and 360 titles proves there's a market.
*sells more copies than the WiiU version*
really well. MGS4 playable with enhancements at 60 fps. stay salty
Those are ports, buddy.
Not the same thing.
>why make new games when you can just do shoddy, cheap "remasters"
Yeah good question
pretty fucking great

>joyless suit says stupid shit
Thank god Corona-chan is raping their finances
And? Just shows how fucking stupid the casual consumer is.
It's much more profitable to sell you the same old games over and over again as releases than it is to just let you play your old shit on new hardware. This is 100% about making money; not about giving customers what they want.
cool link and screencap of article with no date, bro
By that logic PS4 is BC with PS3 by having shitloads of remasters.
>It's much more profitable to sell you the same old games over and over
Yep
While it's conveniently as hell to not have to buy the Wii U, that's not backwards compatibility at all.
>that texture pop in
>that framerate
anons getting mad over an article from like 10 years ago...
You are all fucking stupid.
Yas Forums really is the worst board. It's full of retarded children and sheep.
It doesn't have JSRF.
>no GTA, except for the SA mobile port
>no sega games beside PDO
>no racing games at all
The Xbone's OG Xbox library fucking sucks man. The 360 library is okay.
Yet here you are not taking any sort of position on the issue.
>everyone is dumb except me
You realize only dumb people feel pressured to say this shit.
You do know that the game runs on average 35-40 fps on the PS3, right? The pop-in is due to the scaling; if he was at 720p there'd be no visual glitches. There are custom builds that make certain games run better. Check this out: youtu.be
>fucking sucks
idk man I'm really happy with 4k Conker and Ninja Gaiden.
>2017
Xbots are getting desperate.
>they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?
Glad to know everyone at Sony from the top corporate to the drooling fanboy is a graphics whore
>rereleases = BC
retard
https gamingbolt dot com(slash)why-would-anybody-play(remove this & replace with -)this-says-sony-exec-on-backwards-compatibility
You really are fucking stupid. If I were you I would shut up before you make it anymore evident you're a clueless retard. I'm so mad at you being a smug cunt that you've actually made me lower to your level. Jesus Christ almighty.
Pc really is master race thank god for emulation. Sony is fucking retarded.
are they really stupid if they didnt buy the WiiU in the first place?
Let me apply the truespeak to the executives words: We still don't know how to emulate some of the bullshit our predecessors did 10 years ago. What if someone wanted to play Ratchet Deadlocked?
Don't respond to 3 year old bait.
jim sterling crying
I thought the leaks said we'd get backwards compatibility.
Not the same and no they haven't. The 2 best Wii U games are still exclusive to the platform.
No wonder all Sony games are movies they only care about muh graphixx
>I'm really happy with two games.
Good for you. I still have to keep my OG Xbox around for everything else.
I hope that faggot was fired from a cannon
Wow, they really don't want my money.
Which games?
I just want to play ps3 games without using the terrible piece of shit that is the ds3 controller.
Pikmin 3 and Xenoblade X
>PS executive thinks all past PS games are shit
Wow
Backwards compatibility can be a great way for console manufacturers to keep their momentum into a new generation.
If your console is still selling well and you release a new console with backwards compatibility, you can transfer the popularity and the momentum over to your next generation. It makes it harder for competitors to take over at the generation shift.
People who demanded BC on PS4 were retarded though. PS3 had a terrible architecture which made BC practically impossible.
You can use PS4 controllers on PS3.
Nice. First one down! Maybe next you can work on CoD4 and Demons Souls and other bestselling highly desired titles.
Demons Souls was one of the first the games to be tested on the emulator. It's fully playable at 60 fps nowadays.
I love how much they lied about that stupid cell processor. Its so funny looking back on it with all the stupid quotes about hollywood special effects and how devs will never unleash the full potential of it. Fuck me i cant believe they lied that much and some exec approved it
backward comp is for boomers anyway
Yes.
Hes literally the boss now
>Jim Ryan
I hope that old boomer gets Corona, eats shit and dies a slow and horrible death where he spasms like a faggot and shits all over himself in his last moments.
this faggot boomer will be to the PlayStation brand what Don Matrick was to Xbox. he will absolutely tank it with no survivors. the least competent retard became the head of Sony's most lucrative division.
buch of fuckheads.
They're just saying that so that they can """""""remaster""""""" all your favorite PS2 titles.
Sony isn't making money off of physical PS2 games anymore.
Xenoblade X is stuck on the WiiU (for now) and you're gonna have to deal with it.
It (or a sequel) will probably come out on Nintendo's next consolehandheld.
>PS2 is still not emulated well no matter what people will tell you.
Why is that?
