@RBMango It could be because the average gamer who buys a new console, isn't buying it for B/C. Only one's who really care about that feature, are the diehards/hardcore. It's not going to hurt their bottom line. Sure, it'd be nice if they did b/c all the way to PS1, but it's not necessary. They may very well absorb PS Now and PS Plus into one price. I wouldn't be surprised if they add a ton of PS1 and PS2 games to the service over time.

@WallyWest Highly doubt Sony is worried one bit. Only thing that matters to most gamers, is the games. Sony has a strong 1st party output, and third party is quite adequate on top of that. Not sure why everyone acts like it's the end of Sony, or Sony should be shaking in fear. Lol.

@AJDarkstar Fair point. Though I think it's unrealistic that all our devices will be 100% stable. Technology is great, but certainly not perfect. I feel ya. The jokes do get corny and over done. I mean they do that a lot at the end of articles with some type of joke. Hit and miss imo.

@AJDarkstar Well, they need their clicks. Nothing is a surprise.

Can we just wait for an actual confirmation from Sony, instead of reporting on rumors from "in the know" journalists? Even if their reps are good, it doesn't mean they know it's going to happen for sure. Otherwise, what is really the point in making a new article about it each time? I get it, you need the clicks, but good lord.

@LightingThor Hopefully it's true. I think most of us have waited long enough personally.

@mikeym It's not mentioned because that's what they are aiming for, or well...what most tech developers aim for really.

@Rob_230 Why do you think that?

@piggyhero Because I feel that everyone regardless of region should be able to help test the game? Sorry, but that's not entitlement. Where I'm from, that's equal opportunity. I also never went out and demanded it, so don't put words in my mouth. Don't take opinions so personal. It's quite counter-productive. Bye now.

@themcnoisy I'd say it's always best to get everyone in each region rather than just their home base, but I digress.

@Ken_Kaniff Being a smart ass is in my nature in part, though not sure why you think that means I'm not cheery. I'm just keen in pointing out obvious over compensated comments.

@JON22 It's not a matter of who gets what. Lol. It should be the same for everyone regardless. I'm just not a supporter of that practice. I feel everyone should get a chance. Even certain pre-order editions for games somewhat annoy me when they're different in every region.

@Ken_Kaniff An actual positive comment? Or just insecure over an opinion? Hmm...tough call. Lol.

@Ken_Kaniff Sure, sure.

Europeans only? Well...that's rude.

@Menchi Sorry, but you fail to understand the reasoning that people are annoyed with Google. It's the simple fact that they buy out exclusive deals to make up for the lack of 1st party offerings that actually makes a console more appealing. No one is really bothered about the exclusive practice in general, because that's just simply business. Blame the developing studios for taking the money, as they are the reason for the practice in part. All in all, the practice exists for fair enough reasons, but it puts Google in a bad light when they are simply buying out timed deals instead of developing their own games for their own platform. Never a good thing to appear lazy to the consumers.

@Ken_Kaniff Are you always this negative? Cheer up.

@AFCC Ahh. That explains it. Well your English seems pretty good for just being your second language.

@AFCC @AFCC Not sure what you mean by "you guys," but already then. Lol. Sounds like generalizing to me.

@AFCC I'd imagine because most who will play it are English speakers. Plus having to look at subtitles just to know what is being said in Japanese can take your eyes away from what's going on onscreen. I'll probably play it with Japanese voice overs, with black and white the second time around.

@Col_McCafferty Some people just love making themselves feel superior over others.

@Skoda "would you really pay 60 dollars for it? this game is likely to become greatest hits. 20 dollars is fine i guess. "

Everyone has their opinion on what they feel is worth their money.

"personally, i dont see the appeal even if someone gave it to me for free. main reasons being, i dont get modern games. so much to explore and repetitive battles and leveling up and it can take you 100 hours to get anywhere. "

Personally, I don't see why you're here if you don't get modern games, but I digress. Also, you don't have to spend all day and night playing games. Even RPG's can be played in bits if you prefer not to play more than a half hour at a time. Sounds like an excuse to me.

" i like my games old school. you go fight people, shoot or jump around for 30 mins then go and do other things for yourself and others."

Then go play those instead and leave others to play their "modern" games.

"life is too short to spend on leveling up in fantasy worlds haha"

Yet, here you are typing up pretentious comments about it, wasting your time. I'm 38 and loved every era of gaming, and I honestly don't see how it would be so complicated. You either been out of the loop for a long time, or just prefer to be stuck in the past. Either way, let people decide how they spend their time and you worry about you. Sounds pretty simple.

@Number09 They do, but still not likely.

@Mikey1 Some people are very spoiled.

@stefan771 I'm aware of that, but it's not likely to happen. I'm going by what we know than what may happen.

@Shepherd_Tallon If they were to do that, it'd certainly be after. Though I doubt it. They'll probably have their own event maybe a few weeks after.

@Number09 It's already been stated that it will launch during the holidays this year.

@rpg2000 He's always like that, at least when it comes to PS5 news. Apparently, the new one is "Sony is scared of MS." Lol. Can't tell you how much I rolled my eyes at that one.Sony obviously has the edge currently, especially with how successful they were this gen. You know they're going to come out with a more stronger 1st party lineup, so I don't get all the paranoia and pessimistic outlook. A change in management, doesn't mean it's the end of all things. I understand to a point the impatience of wanting to know more about PS5 and the games, but they have their reasons for doing what they do. Until then, relax and keep busy.

@PCPS4XB Exactly. It's about the quality of the game as a whole, not just pretty visuals.

@Octane I doubt all their developers are only working on sequels. Lol. Guerilla is likely working on at least two projects. Insomniac has another branch in North Carolina, so they are working on Spider-Man 2 and another project that's not known at the moment. Also keep in mind, that developers tend to juggle two projects at once, despite prioritizing one over the other initially. Either way, sequels aren't a bad thing, and I welcome them if they make sense. You'll certainly see new IP's next gen, and they won't be just a few.

@Nickolaidas I can only go by what my friends(most are PS gamers) have said about their day one Pros. They aren't working or paid by Sony, so I don't see a reason for them to lie otherwise. As for myself, I bought mine in late 2017, and haven't heard it make any significant noise that most complain about when playing demanding games. My original PS4 can be a bit noisy but not jet engine level noisy. I don't know man. Maybe some are lucky enough not to experience any real issues? Perhaps those who complain on both ends maybe don't clean theirs from time to time? I mean dust is definitely a serious enemy for electronics.

@Octane Relax. Sony is invested to bring new IP's next gen as well. They've been doing that since they've started, though it's been more noticeable during the PS3 era. Sequels are going to happen because a lot of their games are story driven, and are set up for sequels to begin with. Nonetheless, new IP's won't take a backseat.

@soulofman5446 If it's properly cleaned to keep dust out of the vents, I'd imagine so.

@Nickolaidas If that's true, then why does mine not make so much noise? Can you explain that one?

@FullbringIchigo Same here. My original PS4 only was a bit more noisier when it was playing more high end games. My Pro on the other hand, barely makes any noise that I find noticeable during gaming. Most I'm willing to bet probably don't properly clean their vents out.

@Daleaf There must be some gamers out there that are just rough on their controllers, because I've had the same ones since I got a PS4 back in 2014 and never had those issues. I can understand one being defective, as that can happen with just about any controller, but going through that many tells me there's been lots of roughness and probably far too many hours of use.

@Bestintheworld10 If they broke, then you must have mishandled them quite a lot, because I never broke any of mine. Or you just had bad luck. Either way, I just get the feeling this might be a bait comment so I'll be moving on.

@jdv95 North America is their main focus and where World Wide Studios is headquartered. That's just how it is. Regardless, nothing is confirmed to be true, so I don't think anyone should be concerned about it until Sony comments on said rumors.

@darksoul77 Except there isn't any truth to what you said. That's just speculating. Only Sony holds the truth in what it's capable of doing.

@Th3solution Lol. Well, then I guess a controller built for rage fits.

@Powerpellet It's called being level-headed. You should try it.

@AdamNovice Sounds like it.

@Th3solution I'm sure they'll come up with a small, delicate controller.

@Powerpellet Paranoid.

@Ken_Kaniff Dramatic, much?

@huyi Oh sure, throw us under a bus too.

@Constable_What Must be your connection, because I never had an issue with the UI. Always worked well for me and just about anyone I know. I have a Pro, so I can't comment on the original PS4.

@Dodoo If it can manage 10-12 hours of battery life, that'd certainly be a step up.

@Flaming_Kaiser His name certainly suits him.
