PS now is not emulation. I know what you’re trying to say, but game streaming is totally different. While I think the lag times are pretty reasonable, on console emulation is just strait up better. But the bigger part what about the games you already own? I have about 30 PS1 titles on my PS3. The truth is that I use…

And you’re an idiot. All your comments come from an extremely biased viewpoint and you’re upset that someone called you out for it.

You’re both overstating how difficult this would be to implement and understating how difficult and costly solutions can be for some. You have the space and resources to play whatever you want on the original console? Good for you. Some of us aren’t that lucky. 

I don’t need legacy content enhanced, just supported. Most people can’t even tell the difference between poorly emulated, well emulated or enhanced support. The bare minimum is enough.

You would be absolutely surprised how much backward compatibility with nostalgic Xbox games can be. People are all about nostalgia and replaying their favorites nowadays and access to those titles is important to them.

Suikoden 2 is only for PS3, Vita, and PSP. Not PS4/5.

No I think you read what they said wrong. They said it's unfortunate that SOON the only way people will legally be able to play it will essentially be disc only. SOON the store is closed so if you don't buy it now, or God forbid you learn about it too late, you'll be virtually locked put of a phenomenal game. 

Suikoden 2 was on sale over 2 years ago for 2.99 and regularly retails for 9.99. It is only available on a platform that is about to be shut down. Please be bothered to read the article and do more than a cursory google search before commenting. 

This is exactly it. It’s not necessarily that these are games people are chomping at the bit to play (those games often get remakes, remasters or rereleases), it’s that they shouldn’t fade into total obscurity. It’s laughable to think of now, but what if there were no way to play the original Doom? 

There’s not enough focus placed on preservation in this industry, owing perhaps to how iterative the hardware is and how critical the hardware is to the game. There’s no film that can be played on one company’s projector, no song that can be downloaded only on new computers.

This argument misses the point entirely, in my opinion.

Yes, they are closing the store, so now I have to wait for a re-release or quickly try to buy another Vita or PS3 if I want a chance to play them. Or just emulate it, as pirates are the only ones effectively preserving gaming history.

lol, there’s always one fanboy embarrassing themselves

“Suikoden 2 is available on the PS store for $2.99. They are also available via PS Now.”

Maybe MS can do both? Do you really think it would have been difficult to do PS1 and even ps2 emulation on the Ps4/5? I personally think they think it cannibalizes newer games which I don't think is remotely true. 

Not only can you boot up an old game like Oblivion and stream it to your phone, but it also retains your old save information from back when you were playing it on your Xbox 360. Microsoft is juicing these old games with convenience features that hadn’t even really been conceived of when they were launched.

Yeah! Let’s let great games be lost to the sands of time because I’ve played them already. That’s all that matters. No one else would ever want to go back years later and play those classics. Nope. Never.

Not preserving video games is like throwing away old films. You want that movie from 1957? You can’t buy it anymore. We don’t care about it. It’s gone forever unless you already own it. Let’s focus on the future of movies. Screw preserving past films! 

That’s one way to spin a negative.

Thanks for this, I really think we need to be talking about this far more than we have been. It’s a complete joke that soon the only legal way to play Suikoden 2, one of the most decorated RPGs of all time, outside of owning the disc for $100+, is going to be completely gone, and even THAT method was insufficient. I…
