Re: The Dream Is Dead: PS5 Will Not Play PS3, PS2, or PS1 Games

GamerDad66

Alot of people forget that Sony had already emulated the PS1 on every PS3. But then they stopped that on PS4, so they could monetize old games. After making boatloads of money in recent years, some people hoped Sony would go back to emulation for PS1 & PS2. But we knew months ago that Sony had walked away from BC, the PS5 doesn't even have a CD laser...

This is an amazing offer for new PS5 owners...

But I already have a PS4 and many of those games on disc. But for someone with a Switch, this is an amazing deal for buying into the Sony ecosystem.

Re: PS5 Fans Are Panicking Over Backwards Compatibility

I gave up on BC and bought a mid-spec PC for $400.

i5 3.6Ghz 16GB ram, Geforce 1030, SSD drive w/Win10.

Works like a charm for PS1, PS2, DC, PSP, and all things Nintendo...

I have all the original hardware & large software collection, but this is nice.

PS1 and PS2 can be played off the disc at HD or better.

Sony seems to be going backwards on BC...

PS3 supported virtually all PS1 games though emulation.

Then they stopped that support inexplicably on PS4 (due to greed?).

PS5 could easily emulate PS1 & PS2, which would be amazing.

If Sony won't do that, I'd rather spend the $500 on a Home Theater PC.

That way I can emulate my retro game collection and play off discs.
