Honestly I don't know, I wouldn't want to be playing the PS3 version of GTA 5 on PC in 2020. lol Besides, if they announced GTA 5 for next gen, chances are that GTA 6 just isn't coming any time soon. I get it we're all in this "gta bad" wagon but, logically thinking, it does make sense since GTA 5 is still getting updates and content.

Also for remasters like Monster Hunter 3 HD. In fact you can even run that on a real PSP but you won't get any of the "HD" parts.

Wasn’t it also used for Castlevania Requiem?

@Lyra Heartfold I looked back into it. It turns out it was just a rumor.

I thought minis were native on both consoles

@Lyra Heartfold no the media engine isn't included either, so graphics are emulated. Only reason I know this is because the N64 emulator calls for the media engine, so you need to remove that file from the emulator before you run it on a vita

Being able to play your old owned games without extra cost and running them on your console is backwards compatibility. Anything other than that is not.

@@haseeburrehman3972 maybe with psnow

He forgot the magical word called select few PS4 game titles. Never takes Sony on their word they can easily walk back and say we didn't promise. Also Xbox one is not truly Backward Compatible it doesn't play every single Xbox 360 game or original Xbox game. As for the new Xbox series take it as a grain of salt and don't expect every single Xbox One game be playable on the Xbox series.

For those who are confused as to what he means here, Jak 1, 2, and 3 were released as roms on disks with emulators as a collector bundle thing, with recreations of the original boxes just with PS4 branding. Now, Sony HAS released a list of not compatible games, none of which are their backwards compatible titles, but then again, they TECHNICALLY aren't PS4 games, they're PS2 games, so maybe they don't count it?

I also have kept all my old consoles to play my back catalogue; But I don’t expect Sony nor Microsoft to make a future console more expensive for everyone to keep happy the 1% of gamers like us... Now, that would be selfish. As it’s been said, it’s often requested, but infrequently used featured.

It's also why I have a PS3... some games like Tokyo Jungle were never remastered/rereleased on PS4, so lack of backwards compatibility compels me to keep it

This. My PS2 slim has put in quite a number of hours playing PS1 games, and it’s just so convenient. Having access to essentially the full libraries of both PS2 and PS1 games is a massive incentive to own one. Unfortunately, I think that era of backwards compatibility is dead. It’s just far more profitable for companies to remaster or rerelease older titles digitally and force consumers to buy the same games over and over.

There is exactly the same information on the wiki, probably MVG wanted to say that GTE is emulated on VU for Slim versions of PS2, where IOP is replaced with a PowerPC-derivative processor, i.e. there is no GTE and MDEC and so on. circuits that are in the original PS1 CXD8530 processor.

@@Andorianin That is possible yes, we have experienced that slim BIOS's don't work on PCSX2 for PS1 backwards compatibility, so it's possible some sort of emulation is done on the EE/VU's instead, I hadn't considered that, but also I haven't seen any solid proof apart from some random guy on the internet saying that's the case, however that does make a small amount of sense. Certainly something worth investigating in the future though.

Me with 3mbit internet: BRUH

I will never understand why people want to have their ps2 games stretched to 4K, unless theres a smoothing filter to smooth out jagged edges and all that blockeyness, While ai upscaling sounds cool but i can imagine how complicated that will be as it has to recognize objects to add 4K textures to it, wich not only will add delay to the games but also becomes a hit & miss situation as the ai will obviously fail recognizing objects overtimes.

PS2 image quality sucks, regardless of resolution.

Jim Ryan isn't a gamer, he doesn't understand them and he is the worst CEO Playstation ever had.

@Jacob S I would say the same for Nintendo, but you’re probably going to defend that company. Anyways, Sony isn’t going away anytime soon.

@Jacob S I think I'll stop gaming if there's only a microsoft monopoly in the console market or you could only play these multiplatform games on PC, there won't be nothing special anymore.

@Jacob S my favourite games and sagas are Sony games. I won't be happy being stuck with mediocre fps games and mobas for eternity (I'm talking about Xbox and pc exclusives, as the rest that I like is multiplatform anyway). Sony platform helped in creating and developing from scratch some of the most unique experiences in gaming

@Jacob S So you want a whole company to go bankrupt due to the greed of the people in charge? Funny how you don't have that mentality about Microsoft considering the stuff they do whether it was buying out potential rivals in the 80s and 90s, making things difficult for their competitors, moving to subscription models for Microsoft Office while charging more for the non subscription version of Office. Sure they have XBox game pass which is a good deal if you have a great Internet connection but if your dream comes true of Sony going out of business Microsoft will no longer do XBox game pass or at least not at that price. Besides I can think of at least two other companies that deserve to go out of business due their anti consumer practices than Sony and that is Disney and EA. Eventually these companies will be pro consumer again but sadly it's years away unless pro consumer individuals infiltrate the companies and work their way to the top.

Because Nintendo and most Sony fans are braindead.

Then do yourself the favor and get a PC to play them on. Waiting for Sony to give you a good solution one day eventually is a loosing game.

Yup with the PS3 they changed everything which is why they likely won't make PS3 backwards compatibility. Which means the only way to place PS3 games will be either on a pre owned PS3 or on an emulator but from what I've heard PS3 games are really hard to emulate.

This is why a lot of Windows games going back to the 90's still work on modern PCs with little to no modification. Same x86 architecture, and DirectX and OpenGL have maintained an impressive level backwards compatibility. It's mostly DRM issues you run into these days. Especially disc-based games from the mid-late naughties. But there's usually work arounds for those. Of course if Windows kills of support for 32-bit applications, that'll be a bit of an issue.

This is completely false. Sony uses a very consitent API throught all of its hardware and did use consistent hardware for PS1, PS2 and PSP, they only changed hardware on PS3 and PS4 (the API was still similar though). Nintendo literally overclocked the GameCube and gave you the Wii and Wii U. Sega stopped being Sega after the Genesis so no point in compating there, the Genesis did have MasterSystem hardware in it (why they didn't make the cartridges compatible without an adapter is beyond me).

I just wish Microsoft addressed whatever the licencing issues were that apparently prevent them from cracking the original Xbox library wide open. They had an excellent emulator on the Xbox 360, clearly have a far better one now.

Also people can have a genuine affection for more primitive graphics, even their blatant flaws. How many people have you seen that have said that the PS1's low-poly models and low-res textures benefit the horror games on the platform, or that the hardware-based dithering is a desirable part of the PS1 aesthetic? I've seen quite a few of the former opinion, and a few of the latter.

I'm one of those who live these old style, but come to think of it, it still very very niche. It's small, and not worth the effort. they are still a business. They here not to satisfies us 100% percent, but rather to sell us more. It's not greedy, it's business. Most people who still plays the old game, most likely has the hardware. Other than that, most people most likely move on from it and play newer game.

@trigolis Unfortunately, that's just not true. It's known that the software side of this has already been done, they already have PS1/PS2 emulators on recent platforms which means the time and money required to do this is not nearly as much as you might thing.

However, you have to consider that these people are given no reason to upgrade and have basically been told there never will be a reason to upgrade - Which is a loss of sales.

@mPky1 Well, no, not really actually. I get that you want to keep PS2 compatibility and on that issue, I agree. But I have had all models of PS3 and there's not much about the original fat that I miss nowadays. I admire the design and I used the memory card slots a lot, but it was always very loud and used twice as much power as the newer models. It was prone to overheating and was generally just bulky. In 2006 it was exclusive, but nowadays it has lost its place. I know people like the Slim, but I rather much like the Superslim actually. People dislike the disc tray but I kind of like it. If it ever breaks, it is a lot easier to repair than the specific parts needed for a motorised slot-in disc system. The Superslim is quiet, discrete, easy to transport and very friendly on the electrical bill. I have also never heard of a superslim getting YLOD or such. Plus, if you get a version with just the flash memory, you can get it dirt cheap and install your own hard drive to get all the benefits.

@mPky1 No, indeed, that doesn't happen very often. But when you do, it's nice to be able to pack the ss into a small laptop bag rather than finding the original box for the original, as it is so sensitive to shock damage and weighs almost 8 kilo. It's not a strong argument, but an advantage nonetheless. :)

@@Henkibojj The OG PS3 has absolutely not lost its place. It's by far the best of the PS3 models to have nowadays due to the backwards compatibility. There's almost no PS3 exclusive games you can't get elsewhere now, but you can play PS1, PS2, and even PSP games (with modding) over HDMI on a single system. That's 4 consoles in one system. Yes, it's loud and draws more power, but honestly with how much it'll be used the convenience of having 4 consoles in one box outweighs the extra, like, 5 cents per hour.

Either the Intellivision or the Colecovision (I often get the two confused) had a first-party peripheral that basically bolted a cloned Atari 2600 onto the machine and let you play that console's games. Would that count as backwards compatibility? Does it have to be the same company? Would it even matter, as I don't know whether it came before or after the 5200's adaptor?

@@LonelySpaceDetective Yeah, I thought about that too, but for me it's hard to say it's "backwards compatible" since the intellivison spent most of its life as a competitor to the VCS, so is part of the same "generation."

I will be thoroughly disappointed if she doesn't feature at all in the game, regardless of how polygonal.

I almost went "He explained in the video why Sony doesn't have BC anymore", but you did bring up something new- if the competition can do it, why can't Sony? The answer lies in how they have promised near complete BC with PS4 games, save for a few titles who are basically just gone because the developers have totally abandoned them. It all comes down to the changes in hardware design- the code, the machinery, the very circuits, the everything that makes the PS3 what it is, is VERY different from the code / machinery / circuits that makes the PS4 what it is, and the PS3 was in turn substantially different from the PS2... while the PS2 and PS1 were a bit more similar, and the PS4 and PS5 are also much alike. Sony were FAR too ambitious with the PS3. They wanted to make a monster machine capable of incredible feats, and upended almost everything about their machines architecture to reach their goals. In comparison to Microsoft when they went from Xbox to X360... Let's use a simile- Microsoft and Sony have built two different offices. When Microsoft wanted to upgrade its office they just added another section to their building- all that was good about their old building (you know where the bathrooms were, you know which rooms have reliable lighting) and all that was bad (the room that gets cold still gets cold, the room that drains s lot of electricity still drains a lot etc) was left intact, just with a new addition to their old building that let them do some new things. Sony in comparison tore down EVERYTHING and built something completely new, and nobody really knew where the bathrooms were, nobody knew how to get from the cafeteria to the apartment in the most efficient way, and while Sony SAYS it's new architecture means that once you learn how to get around the new building your life will be so much better, everyone who had to use the office was losing money working there because they had to spend so much time figuring things out rather than getting their work done, whereas if they worked at Microsofts office they could just do what they'd always done and get right back to work. Sure, they still had to worry about all the old problems, but at least they already KNEW about those problems. Sony's new office meant new opportunities, but also new, unknown problems. But between PS4 and PS5, Sony has copied MS style. The PS5 is pretty similar to PS4 but a bit more powerful, it's easy to make what worked on PS4 work on PS5. But to emulate PS3... it might just look like a more powerful machine should have no problem making a less powerful machines games work easy, but it's not that simple. To return to the simile, whenever you worked in the PS3 office, everything you did had to work according to that office's architecture. They totally tore that arcitecture down when they made the PS4 office again because it turns out the PS3 architecture ultimately WASN'T a good thing, but now all the plans and blueprints for the work done in PS3 office depends completely ON that office. You have to recreate the hallways, bathrooms, cafeteria etc that was in that office, you can't just do what worked but in the new office. For MS it's simple because they've kept almost ALL their old offices looking exactly the same, it's easy as pie to retrace your steps, doesn't take a lot of manhours at alll. But Sony were ambitious and wanted new offices, and now whenever they want to revisit old projects they have to recreate their steps, everytime, and almost every old project is different so they have to do a lot more work... and they pretty much decided that all this extra work would cost them more in r&d than they'd make back from paying customers. MS has to do a lot less work becaude their fundamental architecture hasn't really changed over the years. Sony's did, and our current world is the end-result.

Yes it make sense, it's all about the CPU architecture. Ps4 and Xbox one are custom PC, PS5 and Series S/X are the same, no problems for BC. PS3 is a weird monster, one of the most complex architecture to date on console (and a nightmare to code for) Making a dedicated emulator for that can't be done with two lines of code. On PS4 It would have been literally impossible to make (in terms of raw power, the PS3 CPU is faster than the PS4's). It "should" be possible to play PS3 games on PS5, but developing an emulator cost money (Yeah, on PC you have the fantastic RPCS3, a fan made project that's really amazing, but really far from perfect) and players who would use it are a minority. It's all about money and if it's worth it for Sony. But yeah, that would be pretty cool. ^^ PS2 emulation is mature on PC, and doesn't require high-end specs, and you can use your original game disc directly.

You have to understand that the PS4 Jaguar CPU is a PoS that bottlenecks the gpu so I assume it can barely handle to emulate the PS3. The PS5 maybe can do it idk, but don't think it's easy to write a PS3 emulator.

@@jcfb1470 you also have to understand that Sony themselves architected the PS3 and know precisely how everything works unlike the devs working on RPCS3. Also, if the Jaguar cores can't handle it, Zen 2 certainly can and I hope I'm wrong but I can only see Sony proving me right because they won't make PS5 backwards compatible with PS3. Not convinced yet? How about PS2? Modders can already run almost any PS2 game on PS4 but Sony still won't enable it. You can argue all day but you can't change the fact that it's just because they just wanna make you pay twice and save development costs.

@@hmmm5300 Are the modders using any methods that Sony could replicate without creating any security flaws or unintentional exploits that could be used for video game piracy? If so then Sony could definitely use their methods, I'm someone who likes their consoles but there are times when their greed becomes their shortcoming; it became a shortcoming when they basically made it mandatory to keep ahold of a YLOD Patched 60GB or original 80GB PS3 to play any games released for the PS1, PS2, and PS3 without having to repurchase them, and it became their shortcoming when they slowly turned Playstation Home into a commercial mess before completely ditching it.

@@hmmm5300 I agree with you on that. With some work they can probably emulate the PS3, just like Microsoft did on the 360 with the OG Xbox. Maybe it wouldn't run all games at first but the list of playable games would grow over time. Emulation of the PS3 on PS4 is completely impossible tho, with just how slow those crappy 4 jaguar modules are. I bet that the PS3 Cell with its SPUs at all their potential is even faster than the jaguar cpu on some specific workloads.

@@MythicSuns modders are using the same emulator Sony uses for PS2 games on PS Store afaik and if Sony can manage to release just one game without security flaws, I don't see how they can't with others. I've always liked and owned Sony's consoles but at some point their anti-consumer practices just get absolutely disgusting like locking people's Epic accounts to Playstation consoles once you sign in on a PS4 even if you had only played and progressed on non-Playstation platforms with your account. I left consoles all together and went for PC for less headaches and drama.

Why do you want it on vinyl? It's a digital recording dingus

Bruh you're missing the point. That's like saying that it has to be mastered on a reel to reel machine on chrome tape at high speed to be able to put it on a record.

@@ChrisStoneinator Digital recordings have been around since 70s many that have been pressed to vinyl? I don't understand the point you're trying to make?

@@Bangulo no they haven't, not in the major label space anyway. First notable digital recording was Brothers in Arms. And yes exactly, vinyl is pointless for anything recorded since then. That *is* the point I'm trying to make. I can't think of a single exception.
