Video Games [ARCHIVED] Video Game • Page 398

Wasn't there something specific to PS3 games that made them impossible to run on a PS4?

 

Yeah because the PS3 was weird. That’s what I’m saying. The 360 was less weird, but it’s still a small miracle that they pulled of what they did with 360 games on Xbox One. Like I said though, Xbox One and PS4 are basically PCs, so from now on, backwards compatibility is to be expected, unless PC hardware itself undergoes a major architecture change.

 

Yeah apparently the only was is to call them and apparently that doesn’t work out all that often, so fuck it lol

 

What I don’t understand is that I can’t disconnect from the EA account via my Xbox account. It’s like a fucking virus, all hidden and shit.

 

Reminds me of this article from a little while ago, sounds like a true nightmare to unlink the EA account from anything.

Great I wasn’t worried about that until now lol

 

The Cell processor is pretty much why, Sony shot themselves in the foot when they initially designed the PS3 with that and it was a complete pain in that ass to develop for.

 

$500 wouldn’t be that unreasonable

 

I agree but angry internet nerds won't

 

They can go pound sand

 

Stop it I heard Sony lurks this thread

 

I've said it here before but I've never understood the outrage over the price of video games and consoles. Like people will happily pay £60 for a pair of jeans made in a sweatshop but £60 for a game that 100 people have spent 3 years of their lives creating? Outrageous.

 

I'm gonna be honest

I'm also not happy spending $60 on a pair of jeans

 

Plenty of things people spend that much money on and don't complain. Was just picking an example

 

Yeah I know and I agree with you I just wanna take a stand and say the price of clothing is too much man

 

i buy my jeans at wal mart for as cheap as possible or thrift and would not enjoy paying $500 for a PS5. but i also would just not do it and not complain about it. i understand they’re expensive to make and i accept that but i also am a consumer and can wish for things to cost less than half of my rent too and that doesn’t make me unreasonable.

 

The real criminals are landlords

 

I'm cool with PS5s costing $500 since it's not like a multiple time purchase

I feel like it's tough to afford games a lot of times at the rate they're coming out but that's fine that's just life, I just choose to miss out on a bit more

 

my rent is 875 and only lasts me a month. a ps5 at 500 that lasts 5+ years is a steal

 

Yes

 

Plus, it's something that will last literally years and years. If I divide the cost of the games I've bought and the console by the number of hours of entertainment I've had from it, we're talking literally pennies per hour.

People will happily spend £4 on a coffee that lasts 20 minutes. My PS4 has lasted 5 years and counting. People just love to moan.

 

do what i do and just buy old games for 10-20 dollars. eventually all the new games coming out will be old and cost 10-20 dollars. thats the way of life

 

Yeah I'm pretty much just only buying new things if they're "can't miss" in my taste and ignoring other things until the prices are knocked down

 

I knew ps5 would come out before all these hyped future first party ps4 games get released

It happens every single time with Sony lol

also please dont interpret this as trash talk or something
