I don't seem a problem with having some PS4 games next year. If Sony just dropped PS4 the minute they showed PS5, many people would take it wrong. The fact that Sony will have a few last-gen leftovers, shows that they care about their customers (who are mostly PS4 owners right now).
The free games haven't been doing anything for me (especially since they removed PS3/Vita and failed to add VR games instead), so they can drop the new games and then lower the price. I'd be completely cool with that.
I just saying that by the time they give away a big Triple AAA game on Plus, I already own the game on disc. So these big games are useless to many players.

Re: Sony Reiterates Ongoing Commitment to PS4, Like All Other PlayStation Consoles
I'm so glad Sony will support the PS4 for another year.
It will take at least that long to catch-up on PS5 supply.
Not everyone wants to buy a PS5 off eBay for a small fortune.
Sony has some exclusives & some multi-plats, that's fair for everyone.
Re: Demon's Souls Gets the Ultimate Glow Up in PS5 vs PS3 Comparison
It's a huge upgrade. This would probably be my 1st purchase. But I'm not in a big rush, I'll see where things are at next year.
Re: All PS Plus Collection Games on PS5
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: Kingdoms of Amalur PS4 Patch 1.05 Fixes Game-Breaking Disappearing Enemy Bug, Improves Stability
I picked up a copy at Walmart for $33. No one else had it.
The physical print run on this game may be low?
Anyway, I'm glad it's being fixed and there is new DLC on the way.
Re: The Dream Is Dead: PS5 Will Not Play PS3, PS2, or PS1 Games
Just buy a ghetto PC with a basic video card & DVD drive.
PS1 and PS2 will play off discs in any decent emulator.
It's super easy and completely legal.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West, Spider-Man: Man Miles Morales 'Built from the Ground Up' for PS5, Despite PS4 Versions
I don't seem a problem with having some PS4 games next year. If Sony just dropped PS4 the minute they showed PS5, many people would take it wrong. The fact that Sony will have a few last-gen leftovers, shows that they care about their customers (who are mostly PS4 owners right now).
Re: Mini Review: The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon - A Solid But Very Safe Expansion
Someone told me the DLC was a MS timed exclusive and was going on GamePass. Glad to see that's not true.
Re: Tom Holland Can't Stop Gushing About the Uncharted Movie
Ok, but wasn't Wahlberg terrible in Max Payne?
Re: Control PS5 Upgrade Controversy Worsens as Owners Accidentally Get Free Access to Ultimate Edition
This whole episode will be taught in business schools under how not to treat your customers and how to avoid self-made PR disasters.
This is up there with the whole No Man's Sky debacle.
Re: The Panzer Dragoon Remake Will Come to PS4 Soon
The biggest issue is the price. It needs to be $14.99 or less.
On Switch, it's $25 (I think) and hasn't gone on sale.
Re: Reaction: PS5 Price Under Scrutiny After Disruptive Xbox Series S Reveal
Xbox Gamepass Edition
Xbox SAD Strikes Back!
Re: Ninja Gaiden Sigma Trilogy Listed for PS4 by Hong Kong Publisher
This will probably fall into the Mass Effect Trilogy blackhole.
The way remasters have been going lately, that's for the best.
They can't even get one game working lately, much less three.
Re: Rumour: Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster Set for October Reveal and Release, But Date Might 'Slip'
These stories are getting strange: "I Know It's Real!"
It's like some form of mass-hypnosis. It's like Bigfoot.
Re: Dragon Quest XI S on PS4 Is a Switch Port, No Upgrade for Existing Dragon Quest XI Players
Seems like a great time to buy the original PS4 version for $20 at Gamestop.
No one asked for Switch ports on the PS4...
Re: The Definitive Edition of Dragon Quest XI Is Coming to PS4 This December
So "DLC" basically costs $60 (entire new game).
And your existing save might not work with it.
Wow, that's some major customer service!
No, thanks. I'll stick with my original PS4 copy.
Music is fine and playing in 3D is preferred anyway.
Re: Gamer Girl Dev Removes Announcement Trailer and Marketing Following Backlash
My impression of the trailer and the topic of harassment:
My issue is people who cynically show their body to get views and then complain publicly about unwanted attention (maybe to get even more views?).
Unless the game wants to address this paradox, then I doubt it will move this conversation forward.
Re: PS5 Fans Are Pondering the Future of PS Plus
The free games haven't been doing anything for me (especially since they removed PS3/Vita and failed to add VR games instead), so they can drop the new games and then lower the price. I'd be completely cool with that.
Re: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Launches 8th September, New Expansion in 2021
Wow, Re-Reckoning? That's terrible.
Hope game does better this time around tho.
Re: PS Plus July PS4 Games Available to Download Now
I just saying that by the time they give away a big Triple AAA game on Plus, I already own the game on disc. So these big games are useless to many players.
Re: PlayStation Fans Are Worried Microsoft Could Buy Warner Bros' Gaming Division
Not sure if it makes sense to spend 4 Billion just for exclusivity.
That kind of money would be more of a turnkey buy like Minecraft.
Minecraft is still on every platform because they need to make money off it.
Re: PS Plus July PS4 Games Available to Download Now
I buy Triple AAA games on disc. Big games are useless to me.
Plus used to net you six games a month on PS3/Vita/PS4.
I miss those days, lots of smaller overlooked games.
Re: PS Plus 10th Anniversary PS4 Theme Is Available Now for Free
I'm always hoping they put Horizon DLC on Plus...
Re: These Are the Five Most Redeemed PS Plus Games Ever
You know what would be cool?
If they had a month where you pick from old Plus games.
Everyone could pick 3 old games from previous titles to get.
Re: Mini Review: Star Wars Episode I: Racer – This Old Favourite Still Has Some Magic
For anyone who's more familiar with this game...
Was there anything exclusive to the PS2 version SW Racers Revenge?
Back in the day, I had the DC version which came out a year earlier.
EDIT: Racers Revenge is actually a sequel, I totally forgot that.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima PS5 Console Concept Is Sharper Than a Samurai Sword
All these black PS5 designs look like they escaped from the Death Star.
Re: Xbox Boss Believes Microsoft Is in Very Good Position, Will Be Able to Demonstrate Hardware Advantages Over PS5
Xbox is crushing Sony on BC.
They're going to do 4K, HDR, 60fps on older games.
Longtime Xbox fans are happy and being rewarded.
As longtime Sony fans, we are SOL...
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Port Possible After the RPG's PC Launch
PS4 please...Thank you.
Re: PlayStation Store Remasters & Retro Sale Has Deals on PS4 Games of Old
Not sure which sale it was, but I got two Tales games.
Re: Sony Issues Official Shot of PS5 Console on Its Side
The next hot PS5 accessory will be a lampshade.
Re: PS5 Memes Are Rife as the Internet Reacts to Console Reveal
Think I'll wait for a price drop and a redesign.
That design & color doesn't fit anywhere in my home.
If the system doesn't sell, both will happen very shortly.
Re: PS5 Preorder Price Is $699 on Play-Asia, Has Fans Praying It's a Placeholder
This seems way too high...
Even $499/$599 seems too high to me.
I can see alot of people waiting for price drops and a slim redesign.
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.
Re: Two Free Final Fantasy VII Remake PS4 Dynamic Themes Available to Download Now
The Cloud theme looks amazing...very moody.
Re: Rumour: Deep Down Was in a 'Near-Complete State' Before Being Shelved
If game languished and didn't have great graphics...
They should have just ported it to Switch.
Even if it was out-of-date, at least it would be released.
Re: Mini Review: DOOM 64 - After More Than 20 Years, DOOM's Oft-Forgotten Third Instalment Packs a Punch
I wish they would remaster Doom PSX too.
Release version doesn't even support analog or save files.
Re: Guide: PS5 Backwards Compatibility - Can You Play PS4 Games on PlayStation 5, Which PlayStation 4 Games Work on PS5, and Does PS5 Play PS1, PS2, or PS3 Games?
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.
Re: Talking Point: PS5 Could Be Delayed, And We May Have to Accept That
If MS still launches and Sony doesn't, it's going to look bad.
Honestly, next year probably won't be much better...
I think they should push ahead and do some kind of pre-order lottery.
I thought Sony had already shifted away from China due to Trade War?
Re: Dead or Alive 6 Marks a New Low for Microtransactions, Hair Colour Changes Charged
Despicable...
Charging to change it back to the stock hair color?
Shouldn't you already own that? Wow, total new low.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Is on Our PS5 Wishlist
Yes!
That's partly why I bought the old (1&2) games on PS4...
Re: PlatinumGames' Third Reveal Is a New Studio Focused on Games as a Service
Wow, that was disappointing after the build up....
Re: Random: Eco-Friendly PS5 Cases Are Cute and Could Save the Planet
This is a terrible idea...
Cardboard scratches optical discs & used copies would be trash.
I would prefer the normal plastic cases for maximum durability.
Re: PS Store Reduces the Price of Retro Games and Remasters
Looks like there's no 'sale' groups in the PS3 store anymore.
You have to look at web lists and search for specific games.
There's link in the article above for all PS1 games in the PS3 game sale.
Re: PS Store Reduces the Price of Retro Games and Remasters
There's some really cheap deals in the PS3 store...
Might get an old Breath of Fire PS1 game for $2.
Or the old Doom games on PS4 for not much more.
Re: Sony Suggests PS5 Price Is Still Undecided
I'm praying they do BC with emulation.
PS1 & PS2 would be very easy. PS3 could come later.
If all it does is PS4, that's going to be disappointing for me.
Re: Bluepoint Games' PS5 Project 'Aims to Define the Visual Benchmark' for Next-Gen
If they are remastering Demon's Souls...
It's a shame that it's a PS5 exclusive.
There's no reason this couldn't have been on PS4 as well (in theory).
I think many fans and PS4 gamers would have appreciated that.
If they push this project so far visually, then it won't be recognizable.
I'm concerned that this will less about DS and more of a Tech Demo.
Re: Poll: How Much Does PS5 Backwards Compatibility Matter to You?
We know they could emulate PS1 & PS2 now.
PS3 might be eventually workable later on...
If Sony chooses not to, due to wanting to sell old games, I'll be disappointed.
Many people with large collections don't want to rebuy everything.
Re: Poll: What PS5 Box Design Should Sony Adopt?
Back in Black.
Bring back manuals with some art.
Re: Classic FPS Games DOOM and DOOM 2 Updated on PS4
Nice to hear...
But I'm still sticking with the PS3 collection (now relisted).
I thought they recently patched Final Doom into these modern releases?
If they bundle all of these games together and add Doom 64, I'm all in!
Re: Black Boxes for PS5 Games? Fanmade Art Has Us Convinced
That's seriously badass.
I remember when a Switch title shipped in a Black Case...
People went crazy for Darksiders and the price shot up through the roof.
Re: Analyst Expects PS5 to Outsell Xbox Series X at Launch with Similar Price Points
Given what's been announced, all I really care about is BC...
Both systems will be crazy advanced, but what about my games?
I have a huge PS game collection and many of the MS exclusives too.
BC is the thing I'm watching now, otherwise I'll stick with my Pro and Xbox S.
$500 just to play a handful of pricey new games isn't what really moves me.
Also have large movie collection (DVD, BD, 3D, 4K), waiting for more media details...
