Not a console snob, just honestly can’t afford both, so I picked the side I’ve always known and liked…

See this is what happens when you haven’t touched a PS3 nor anything sense Sony wise, since about a year after launch of the PS3...

I honestly can’t wait for the HoloLens, every time I see a video in action, it makes me want to run up to Redmond and ask for a Dev Kit. I can’t wait to use it for an office and then quickly change my settings/ surroundings and suddenly be in home mode, playing Fallout or Halo, ect, on the Xbox One. Plus Heavy Rain…

I’d honestly just be more impressed if I’d never seen a PS2 being emulated on a PC, it just makes this whole announcement sound like, “Look Microsoft aren’t the only ones who can pull off emulation! *Give us the spotlight too!*”

So what’s left, like Twisted Metal? Sly Cooper? I can’t think of any of them to be honest.

I’m sure they’ll at least do HD remasters of PS3 games that are popular enough, but as for emulation wise, I’d say streaming is the only option for PS3 games.

Whoa there, pump the breaks. Remote Play has nothing to do with emulation or speed, it’s basically just streaming a game via VLC. The Vita can barely run Borderlands 2, and that’s not saying much. Though out of the handheld system’s the Vita is the fastest, though sales wise I’d say otherwise. Streaming is the closest…

I was aboot to say, you can totally unlock everything without paying a dime, nor cent. They’re set up like Titanfall’s burn cards, but with a lot more purpose. The money end only comes if you don’t want to sit through like 5 matches and save up enough to buy a decent pack, aka Bronze, Silver and Gold.

I’m going to be the one who says, it will never happen. You’ll never be able to play you’re PS3 game’s locally, without help from Streaming, or Cloud computing on a PS4. It’s simply not powerful enough, hardware wise. Xbox One is different, they said that it couldn’t but didn’t realize that the console is actually…

Because the disks won’t ever work with the PS4, that’s the whole argument. The only reason the PS3 could do it, with the original models, was due to a physical PS2 being gutted and placed inside the case of the PS3, which is why they were so big and is also why the slims don’t have that ability. Not to mention, it’s…

True, but how about non HD’ed games? I’m not sure what Sony hasn’t already upped at this point to be honest.

It’s not very HD, it’s just the Android version. From what I’ve heard the Steam one is now also the Android version, but honestly I have no interest in play any older GTA on console side. I’ve played all of them so much when I was younger that at this point playing a version that can’t be modified or can’t be upped…

True, but at least with PC it’s nearly impossible to hit a ceiling when it comes to optimization. PC game ports these day’s aren’t as well optimized or as well built, as the games of the 90’s and early 2000’s areas.

Halo 1 for me was always, save the galaxy by stopping the Covenant from unleashing the Flood, via destroy the Halo ring to stop the further destruction of worlds/ outbreak. (Fantastic Game, rather weak and default plot, big empty worlds with a lot to look at [AKA show off that DirectX girl!] super confusing level…

If it’s a PS3 game or a version of one, then I doubt you’ll see it being emulated, digital or otherwise. In less they’re using the PS Now service or some sort of cloud based streaming for calculations. The PS4 isn’t powerful enough to do that sort of emulation on it’s own, not to mention the lack of similar…

In the case of GTA: SA, it would depend on what version you own, the PS2 or the “HD” version. If they head the Microsoft way, then most if not all the backwards compatibly titles won’t be backwards compatible if there’s already a current version or HD Remake/ Port.

Not really when you think about the fact that the Xbox One has it, and may end up getting it for Xbox Original games. I mean sure it downloads a digital copy via disc insertion, so you won’t be using the backwards compatibility on it in like 20 years, but currently the potential is great.

I found one in a cave, while randomly walking around the wasteland. It had glowing mushrooms and one Alien, who was quickly murdered via a single bullet to his head...

It can read them but can it run them at the right speed, Blu-Ray drives are notoriously super slow. So if said PS2 game requires the drive on the PS4 to move faster than it can, installing would be you’re only option, if it could even mange that. Yes I know the Blu-Ray laser is different than the DVD laser, but if…

Well initially the PS3 had a form of Backwards Compatibility, if you count shoving in a whole PS2 in to the case of a PS3 Backwards Compatible. In all honestly though, I doubt you’re ever going to see PS3 emulation, other than streaming on the PS4. The real question is, is this really Backwards Compatibility? Since…
