I’m trying to check my own bias as a bigger Xbox fan, but Jim Ryan just cannot be taken at his word, right???
Another half-assed feature from Sony
Never trust a suit.
Assuming the 5100 games estimate on the Sony site is right (it includes demos and tons of premium SKUs), there should be 51 incompatible games. Looks like there may be more, but granted many are demos. Then there is the “Bootable” issue which is a whole other can of worms.
Yikes.
I sure hope so, but Sony caring enough about BC to keep improving it over time? I’ll believe it when I see it.
LOL, Ubisoft didn’t just randomly put up a list of games that wouldn’t work. Sony probably didn’t like the bad PR and said that they would help behind the scenes if necessary to get some playable at least. The bigger thing in many ways is that the huge majority of all PS4 games shouldn’t really get anything like the baseline boost that Xbox Series X is providing because Xbox is able to apply the full power of the CPU and GPU without “boost modes” on select games that require code changes.
Good news if true!
Yeah betting Sony got real pissy and called em up. Hopefully the press presses Sony on what Bootable actually means and how it is distinct from Compatible and how they determined that info.
Why aren’t the press pushing Sony on all this unanswered stuff? .these reporters need to step up and actually report.
I suspect I know why… But let’s give them the benefit of a doubt this time, maybe there will be huge articles about this in the coming days! We’ll see…
What the hell is this poor BC? As usual no outrage on the net for that. Shame on you. Lol. Even if Sony says “we really messed up hard” people would still not react and accept whatever Sony does.
Yeah they really should be asking Sony about the RDNA2 thing, VRS, the BC stuff and press them on if GoW and DS and R&C are pure PS5-only titles or not.
Did you notice the pattern? When it’s MS everything is analyzed under a microscope zoom x1000 and rewinded, scrutinized to hell and questioned several times, denied, spinned and twisted in all directions to paint it as evil, bad, catastrofic, etc.
When it’s Sony, wow revolutionnary, unprecedented, everything taken as gospel.
It’s pretty much a cult at this point.
Fair enough, their track record would suggest otherwise too
It’s definitely different. Let’s see what happens over the next 48 hours. I feel sites should be rolling up to sony and demanding clear messaging and if they know what’s working or not and are being restricted by an NDA then that’s even worse.
I love how some are spinning this as Ubisoft fault and not PS5s shitty bc implementation.
