PS5 I know is supposedly mostly compatible with PS4, but further back is a problem
in theory, the PS5 now has enough power that they could write a functional PS3 emulator, they did the same with a PS2 emulator for PS3 in the past
it's just a matter of if they feel like it
shame
but generally speaking Sony seems to take the approach of "Bruh just emulate it. We're not going to stop you. They literally used leaked PSP design docs to code PPSSPP and we *do not care*."
oh I know, I have a psvita
with Xbox I just don't see the appeal of backwards compatibility
I wanna play original xbox games
and 360 games
see I was never into original xbox
or 360 really
I like old games alot
like I've looked at the libraries and there's just nothing there I'm interested in that I can't get on PC
like for the longest time it was Halo
but now I have MCC
I mean you can emulate everything sure
nah, Xbox and 360 are the two consoles that don't have a big emulation scene
it's just the games themselves either have PC ports or just never really caught my eye
I put nes and snes emulators on the vita just so I can play those games conveniently. I just want to be able to play xbox and 360 games on my couch easily
but idk
I can see the appeal there, just for me I've never been into Xbox
and the stuff I did want, has been ported
so I'm going PS5
Sony is probably going to have the games I'm most interested in
but Demon's Souls Remastered and FF7 Remake alone are enough for me
exactly
Demons souls
and I'm going to put this very bluntly
in my eyes, Game Pass's existence is a death cry
go off
it's Microsoft saying "Okay, we cannot really compete in the console space" and they're laying down the groundwork to basically become a steam competitor in the PC space because that's just more profitable
totally
because Xbox has never really done all that well outside of America, Xbox One did particularly bad, and the fact that there's Xbox Game Pass Ultimate that covers Xbox and PC?
and you can upgrade to it from Xbox Live Gold, which is console only?
yeah that tells me they're gearing up for a transition
Xbox will become a series of desktop gaming computers and laptops
well I think it's both. Like you can game on your pc or xbox
it's a different experience sitting on your couch with a controller than on your pc with m and key
yeah but it definitely feels like they're trying to sort of shift the Xbox brand into a segment of PC gaming and out of console
also a lot of normoids are going to just go console
