I think the funnier thing about this is how they both want to be (Xbox especially) the "only thing in your living room", yet I need to keep my PS3 and 360 just to play all my games.

Because no one can play games on their current system in the next year, amirite?

**Xno Kappa** · 2013-05-21 13:51

Didn't Sony mention something about cloud gaming or whatever in order to provide backwards compatibility?

To be fair, backwards compatibility was a fluke that would not be possible as each system continues to iterate (to this point). Each of the prior systems use unique architecture that would be almost impossible to fit into this console generation without inflating the cost or size of the device.

Look at how fast Sony stripped PS2 backwards compatibility out last generation - physical BC was gone after first gen hardware, software BC was gone after second gen hardware. Now try replicating Cell architecture or whatever the 360 was using. You're fucking nuts if you think you can do that.

EDIT: With Sony going x32, hopefully their architecture will remain stable enough that they will be able to provide BC from here on out.

EA and Ubisoft will always try to get away with anti used-game, always online DRM as long as they can keep putting it behind different disguises. There is too much money in the secondary market for them not to keep trying to siphon some out for themselves. Early on it was naked DRM like Ubisoft tried. Then it was stuff like Sim City 5, where the DRM was couched as a 'cloud feature.' Next it will be 'cloud enhanced features' which I fully expect to see in Watch_Dogs and every EA Sports title going forward, where registration is required to maintain your presence in a persistent world. Every game will try to monetize like an MMO. You have an account. Everything you do in your game is tied to that account. That account is non-transferrable.

Pretty hard to fake live gameplay of a showhost who doesn't know how to play a dual-analog shooter though.

On the One note, any confirmation on discs being locked to your console? All I'm seeing is conjecture.

So this all acting and it's no way the game will play or look like that?

Alright, I'm a retard I suppose.

They mentioned they were going to try cloud emulation, but it would not be available at launch. Beyond that, who knows for sure?

**Toth** · 2013-05-21 13:54

Wow at the stock. I do feel more confident about the PS4 after seeing the oNE. But I guess we need to see games first....

Shiiit. Five years and three lasers later my first generation still plays my entire library of PS1/PS2 games. Never gonna part with this sucka.

I would hope PS4 allows you to play your retail PS2 discs since they already have a functional software emulator on PS3....that they reserved for 'PS2 Classics' purchases only.

Also, Nelson stream starting soon

Honestly, if they opened up pre-orders right now, that'd be the final nail in the coffin for XB1.

I assumed it wouldn't be more than a month difference between the two consoles. Granted your average game player is impatient and fuck and loves xbox cause everyone else has one.

That would be nice. I currently keep my PS2 and PS3 next to each other, it would be good to replace the PS2 instead of adding the PS4 next to them.

**Xno Kappa** · 2013-05-21 14:03

Fucking read it in his voice lmao.

**BadKarma** · 2013-05-21 14:06

Most important news today: Battlefield 4 releasing 10/29

**Kiarax** · 2013-05-21 14:10

This stream is a good example of why always on doesn't work. Twitch can't handle dat traffic.
