Re: PS5 Won't Play PS3, PS2, or PS1 Games

@SilkySmile89 Some of Blu-ray players can read CDs, at least audio. My LG Blu-ray player plays any Audio CD flawlessly, that's how I play my CD collection via an AV receiver using an HDMI connection.

I got the Alpine Green and it is my favorite one. I would also choose Sunset Orange, Berry Blue, 20th Anniversary Limited Edition, 500 Million Limited Edition and Crystal Blue - are some of these still being manufactured and sold today?

Re: Poll: What PS5 Information Do You Want Most?

Backwards compatibility for me. I want to know if I can play PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 games on it. I know that I will be able to play PS4 games, but this just isn't enough for me. I have never had a PS3, I want to play many PS3 exclusives which have not been ported to PS4.

Re: PS5 Is Gorgeous in Person, There Are Surprising Features

I fell in love the very first moment I saw it during the presentation. Yes, I'm a bit concerned about the size of the console but I'm pretty certain that it's the price for cooling and being quiet. Speaking about the new Xbox, the form factor is reasonable - it is smaller than PS5, but it is really a "box" (read: thicker than PS5), and it has a fan on its top. Oh and I think that Xbox looks cool, but the PS5 looks way more interesting because... you know... that sci-fi look.
I am getting both consoles eventually, but the first one will be PS5. Maybe even at launch, have not decided yet...

@rjejr by "PC" was always meant to be platform / architecture plus hardware combination, which can be translated as "a personal computer (desktop or laptop) (but not a Mac) with a modern OS (Windows, Linux)". It is obvious that it doesn't include old PCs running DOS. Steam, Uplay, Origin etc., however, are launchers / game library organizers, not platforms.

Re: PS5 Reveal Event Scheduled for Thursday Has Been Postponed

Russia invaded my country and is killing, kidnapping and torturing our people every day since 2014. Does America care? Does Sony care? Is someone in US postponing something because people are being killed in Ukraine just for their race and spoken language?
Sony, you don't care about it the same way that I don't care about that black man killed by police. I don't care about any protests in US.

Sony, you are a JAPANESE company, seems that you have forgotten about that.

All of these Sony's delays and postponings only suggest that Sony is doing poorly, especially against the background of competitors.

But there is nothing we can do but wait for Sony to pack its *****. I'm disappointed, but I've just started playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate and it will take a lot of time so I don't care.

If Sony cancelled the PS5 at all, people would just buy an Xbox and continue playing games.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 319

Just finished Lara Croft GO main campaign on the Vita. The bonus levels are too hard, so I'm taking a break with it.
Finished playing Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders (the whole game, all five episodes) on Steam. Started playing Hexen, oh it's an awesome game! Vastly more complex than Doom/Heretic.
I plan also another try to play Saw on the X360. It is good too, it's like a simplified The Evil Within but with the distinctive riddles of the Saw franchise.
Nothing on PS4 right now, besides Puyo Puyo Tetris several times a week with my girlfriend.
Tomorrow arrives my retail copy of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for the PS4. Will try it a bit, but I'm going to play it later.

Re: Silent Hill PS5 Reboot Rumours Are False, Konami Claims

skaarj217

@ellsworth004 Because
a) Konami's management staff is stupid;
b) Konami is not anymore the company it used to be;
c) Konami is not making games for normal gamers anymore. They are making something for Pachinko machines only;
d) Konami's always making wrong decisions: they are stupid. Did I say that already?
e) A brand new long awaited Silent Hill for Pachinko machines confirmed!

Re: PS5 Is 'The Most Exciting Hardware in 20 Years'

All I care about is full backward compatibility. In terms of pure power, it's obvious that the PS5 will be a powerful machine - it doesn't matter whether it beats XSX or not by raw numbers. The custom SSD will be there too. I can't think of anything more I wished for. But BC is THE most important aspect for me, especially the legacy systems (PS1, PS2, PS3). There ARE many PS3 exclusives which have not been ported to PS4. And I would be the happiest person if I could play Silent Hill 2 and Fatal Frame on PS5.
