What the fuck is this shit.
Why can't I play my Ps3 games on the Ps4?!
Didn't Sony say that they were doing it when microsoft said they couldn't?
I just got one of my old games delivered from my old house and I thought it would be great to play it for old times sake.
>Cannot play PlayStation 3 format disk
What the fuck Sony you lying pieces of shit.

Sony's strategy is to make you buy both consoles if you want to play PS3 games rather than just skipping a gen and getting the PS4, and to play PS3 games on PS4, they want to sell you "remastered" games.so you buy the same game twice.
Listen user.
You buy a ps4 to buy ps3 games.
Did you spend £300 to play ps3 games when you could have spend 60?
Don't be retarded, it's your own fault for selling them and because of retards like you we live in a gen full of remasters
PS4 doesn't have the CELL.
If it makes you feel better, the PS5, PS6, PS7 and so on will be backwards compatible.
Sony redid a handful of PS2 games to be playable on PS4, but then turned around and charged $14 for them. The public obviously didn't bite on that disgusting trend, and they gave up, only to create their next scam.
Actually believing that bullshit.
WHAT THE FUCK?!?! The super slims use a different cpu but still play the same PS3 games. Literally believing Sony's lies.
There is no such sinister strategy behind it. The remasters would have been made no matter if the olds games are compatible or not.
The Ps2 and PS3 had BC. PS4 didn't, because it's the one exception, the one painful transitions they had to make to move on from CELLNow that the transition has been made, every future Playstations will be backwards compatible. We're through the hurdle now.
>The super slims use a different cpu
They use the same CPU, just shrunken a bit in size.
That's the thing.
I didn't sell my Ps3 it got yellow lighted, so I didn't have much choice. Also I remembered Sony announcing three years ago that they were backwards compatible over Microsoft that's one of the big reasons I got a Ps4.
Also why would anyone sane buy a Ps4 for Ps4 games? Their library is small and most of it the games are also on Ps3. Also you have to pay to play online, unlike Ps3.
This is honestly driving me mad, it's like a friend that you trust suddenly asks you to cosign a contract and since you did it before with this friend and it turned out well, however this time he ditches you with the debt and now your in a pit of debt. Fucking bullshit.
>Also why would anyone sane buy a Ps4 for Ps4 games?
Because I have a PS3 for PS3 games?
Just buy the Remastered collections you stupid goy.
>>Also why would anyone sane buy a Ps4 for Ps4 games?
Here is what PS4 offers for 2016.
2017 will be even better.
Yes but when a console is said to be an UPGRADE it should do exactly what it did previously while doing more.
It's like if Goku goes from SSJ to SSJ2 and loses his ability to fly.
Why the fuck do you still have the fat PS3 when the slims have fixed the ylod?
Why the fuck are you trying to buy a PS4 when you are only intrested in PS3 games?
Kill yourself
About half of those games are also going to be or already are on Ps3 or Vita. That's not helping my current situation bud.
Even if you outright discard half of them it's still more games than you can afford.
So I wouldn't ignore the list that fast.
Because I originally thought the Ps4 was backwards compatible with the Ps3 games, how can you blame me?
The Ps3 could play the Ps2 games, the Ps2 could play Ps1 games why wouldn't anyone think that the Ps4 would not be able to play Ps3 games?
>when the slims have fixed the ylod?
Also that's a lie, my Ps3 slim got yellow lighted that's why I got a Ps4.
The PS2 could play PS1 games by Sony re-using some parts of the PS1 in the PS2.
It was a happy accident.
The added BC on PS3 was an expensive affair and they decided to drop it very quickly due to overheating and general price.(they were taking heavy losses on the cell and bluraydrive already)
With the PS4 they took the mistakes they learned from with the PS3 and got developers' opinions on what kind of hardware they should use.
The cell and RSX chips were custom-made and made development a living hell for any developer.
They opted in getting hardware that was cheaper and much easier on the developers.
They would literally have to put a PS3 inside a PS4 to satisfy people like you.
Buy a cheap PS3 slim(not super) and deal with it.
You could always wait 5 years until the PS3 emulator is good enough to play a handful of games properly.
...
See imageDo you want Sony to repeat the PS3?
Why do you have Sony so much?
That's likely what I'm going to do, but I just find it ridiculous that Sony has the gaul to clam the Ps4 is an upgrade to the Ps3 if it can't do the same things that the Ps3 could do and more, and even worse that they would try to jew their loyal customers by spending millions on Ps Now when they could've just made the Ps4 backwards compatible.
>I originally thought the Ps4 was backwards compatible with the Ps3 games, how can you blame me?
Because modern gaming continuously removes freedoms. You can't even buy a console and play games without signing online first.
Hell, digital editions of PS1 and PS2 games were introduced during the PS3 generation.
>Ps4 is an upgrade to the Ps3
That's because it is, it can play games at higher specs.
Yes I understand the hardware issue NOW, but that doesn't change the fact that Sony spent millions on Ps Now when they could've made the Ps4 backwards compatible or at the very least when you use a Ps3 game you could play it without paying for Now.
Yet it removes features that people enjoyed, I can't call that a complete upgrade.
>when they could've made the Ps4 backwards compatible
So put yourself in Sony's shoes.
Would you still keep the price at 400 dollars and incure billions in loss?
Or would you raise the price of the PS4 to 500 dollars and lose sales to Xbox?
Which decision would you make?
>I'm stupid and couldn't bother to check for 5 minutes if it had the features I wanted before buying it
Also it's kinda funny for over a decade people here were whining PS3 had no games but now you won't stop whining about not being able to play the no games.
I would make another Ps4 calling it the Ps4.5 where I would raise the price of what a normal Ps4 costs to about 500 to 600 and it would be for the True Sony fans who want to play all their previous Sony games without rebuying or renting them. If you want to play your Ps4 for only Ps4 games just get a normal Ps4.
This makes sense and would guarantee sales for the nostalgia.
Also it's the only thing that Xbone has over Sony so Sony would be able to wipe Microsoft out completely.
>I remembered Sony announcing three years ago that they were backwards compatible
this literally never happened.
I said I remembered that Sony said at one of the E3's that it had backwards compatibility I said this earlier in the thread.
Also Ps3 has games unlike the Ps4 so it's actually similar to whining about not being able to play games than no games.
SeePS4 has more games than the other consoles. And the reason you're crying so much is because you want them but don't want to buy a PS4 for them.
>yfw PC is getting PS3 emulation before PS4 and hs bypassed the CELL arquitecture proble.
>I said I remembered that Sony said at one of the E3's that it had backwards compatibility
They've never said this though give a sauce or shut up.
Then why not get the PS3 that can play all those games?
Go kill yourself you clearly don't want a PS4.
Stop spouting shit, the slim models never get ylod you retard. Sony made sure those models don't get overheated like the fat ones.
Only took 10+ years......
No you idiot, read the fucking thread, I'm annoyed that I can't play the games I already own and to be honest more than half of those games has a version on the Ps3 or vita and only a very few is worth buying a Ps4 over and they're are released around the end of the year.
> I want to play PS3/2/1 games but bought a PS4
How is this thread not deleted yet? This is the most retarded thing I've seen all week.
is basically a weeb machine
First. I thought it'd be a good excuse to get bloodborne and I wasn't disappointed with the one game.
Second. The slim model can get the yellow light of death, mine did, and that's why I'm in my current predicament.
and never ever on ps4
Do you think that bothers me or something?
I have a PS3 anyway.
They could add it tomorrow if they really wanted but have no financial incentive to do so.
So you wanted to buy a PS4 for 800 dollars? Cause that's what it would have cost to shove a PS3 in there dummy .
Sony don't want a repeat of "599$" they're a business don't be so dense.
The real reason you're pissing your pants is the PS5, PS6, PS7 and so on will have cheap and affordable backwards compatibility to PS4 games. While your PC won't be able to emilate them, because the security is too tight.
WHAT THE FUCK WHY CAN'T I PLAY N64 GAMES ON WII U AREN'T CONSOLES SUPPOSE TO HAVE BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY FOR EVERY CONSOLE BEFORE WHAT IS THIS SHIT!?
Oh please 1 game should never be the reason to get a single console especially when you'd rather play last gen games so you are obviously shitposting.
Also the slim models have a smaller GPU and run much cooler than the fat PS3 ones so i don't know how you can get ylod on that and is unheard of.
Wait are you telling me I can't play Sega Saturn games on Dreamcast wtf!?
WiiU has full backwards comparability with ALL Wii games and accessories.
Also softmodding the WiiU DOES allow you to play 64 games on it.
So why are you false flagging?
ReadPeople would buy it in that case if it was a special edition and it would destroy the only thing that the Xbone has over Sony.
They make too much money out of no effort remasters.
Just look at this shit
That's your crash bandicoot remastered.
i don't care the emulation is free.
you wont save the xbone you shill. its over sony won
Why do people just assume consoles will be backwards compatible when it's only happened like twice?
Why would you even think as a company to include something that would make you no extra money?
Some people here even think NX will play Wii U games when they're saying they won't even have optical disks.
One game, your current console is broke (because of ylod) and you heard that it was backwards compatible.
How does this sound like shitposting again?
>Literally, sony don't care about me and just want my money
>B... But this is #4theplayers
Their strategy is to lie to you until you forget what they were lying about.
Remember E3 2015 for example ?
Remember shenmue 3 , ff7 ?
Shir, neither do I.
>YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU HACK IT AND PUT IN AN EMULATOR SOMEONE SPENT HOURS CODING!
No shit.
No they wouldn't dumbass.
No one bought PS3 for years til the slim . People will not buy a console at a high price .
Also you're acting like Xbone is fully backwards compatible . It isn't.
You're constantly making yourself look foolish or you're blantetly false flagging . Either way delete your thread.
Pretty much
>Any criticism of the product you currently== shilling
It's not shilling for Microsoft if I want Sony to upgrade their console so it would truly destroy the competition. Learn the definition of shill.
>He actually think big companies with a bunch of people he's never even met care about him on a personal level
kek
Because you literally don't want to play PS4 games besides 1 game and have already stated you'd rather play last gen games and previous gen titles.
Anyone with common sense would know how to resolve this besides asking on here.
Obvious shitposting 1/10
...
Because a simple google search would have given you every answer you need.
A PS3 is tops 80 bucks now.
So ya shitposting.
woa... sony won again
The real question is: why is backwards compatability such a big deal at all if you own last gen's console?
I still have my PS2 and N64. What the fuck would I need backwards compatability for?
You will care, because you're already worried if you will ever get PS4 emulation.
PS4 is tanking all of the developer's efforts.
>Why do people just assume consoles will be backwards compatible when it's only happened like twice?
Every console does it so it's in the norm, it would be strange not to assume it's not backwards compatible.
>Why would you even think as a company to include something that would make you no extra money?
To completely destroy the competition.
I'm baffled how this is not common sense among the people in this thread.
traded my ps3 to get money off towards and sold most of my games NX, ps4 cant do BC, buy another ps3 so I can play mahvel and the few games I kept
>its a pccuck is baiting episode
These Chinese scams man lol
Gotta love Sony's non stop scamming .
I'd say the analogy is more like Goku discarding that cloud when he learns to fly on his own.
>Every console does it.
Nope. How can you even convince yourself of this? Have you only owned a ps2 and GameCube?
>it will crush the competition
Nope. Exclusives sell consoles moron. You buy a console because it has better games.
Also Microsoft is only struggling because of thier used game policy. It's been 3 years and it's still biting them in the ass.
>I-its ok we get buttfucked! By Sony
>We winning
>Best place to play COD!
>FIFA for the players !
>PAYING FOR ONLINE THANK YOU SONY
>YOU NEED MY CREDIT CARD AGAIN SONY ?
How is it so hard for you people to read the point,
>I thought it was backwards compatible
>I bought it so I can play Ps4 and Ps3 games
>Turns out I can't play Ps3 games
>Get pissed off
How is this so hard for you people to get?
you got your indies brah.
Making the PS4 backwards compatible would have been a gigantic mistake.
However Sony are still culpable, because they decided to put the Cell in the PS3 to begin with.
>The public obviously didn't bite on that disgusting trend
I appreciated they were upscaled, and it was great for games I never owned. But yeah, if I had owned them and been forced to buy it again, I'd have been livid.
>and they gave up, only to create their next scam.
They're still doing Ps2-on-PS4 releases.
And ignoring all of this, the no backwards compatibility on PS4 scam is obviously Playstation Now, not the upscales.
>I was stupid and just assumed shit without checking
>Plz feel sorry for me
How's Undertale?
why did you just fucking replay the original retard?
Softmod a PS3, get all games for free
That even rhymes
Is it worth buying a cheap pre-owned superslim ps3 just to play last gens exclusives and the ps1 games in the store? Like £90?
>Nope. How can you even convince yourself of this? Have you only owned a ps2 and GameCube?
The wii did it, the wii u did it, the gamecube did it, the vita did it, the ps2 did it, ps3 did it, xbox 360 did it, xbone somewhat did it, ds did it.
It's in the norm pal. Ps4 is the only one that didn't do it.
>But yeah, if I had owned them and been forced to buy it again
No one forced you to buy it again you can continue to play what you own on your PS2 like originally planned.
There is no scam.
If I bought a record do I just assume I can play it in a CD player in 20 years?
Please, I'm not asking for sympathy.
I'm saying that it's complete jewry what Sony did with their products and I'm pretty pissed off.
user just switch over to xbox its comfy here and backwards comp is free if you have the game or you can simply buy it from the store
Backwards compatibility isn't present for any of the games I want
It's not an UPGRADE, it's a completely different console, asshat.
Do you see any cables that connect the PS4 'expansion' to the PS3?
I own a super slim and bought plenty of games for it already. I'm not getting another PS3 and modding it, rather than just buy the few other PS3 games I want.
>I spent $400+ on hearsay
huh.
Why can't I play NES carts on my Wii U then?
Fuck off Nintendo shill.
>The Wii did it
>The Wii U did it
That's because they practically packed a Wii engine into the Wii U and because Nintendo was using technology about five years behind their immediate competitors, making it more economically feasible.
What? Did you actually sell your PS3 to buy up to a PS4 before looking to see if it had backward compatibility?
Ok so you're just an idiot then. No one cares that you're butt mad about Sony.
No you never you lying piece of shit.
You never stated you had any intention of playing PS4 games besides Blooborne at all and have emphasized your desire you to play last gen games.
If you spend 60 you can play PS3 2 and 1 games all in one machine.
How the fuck are you this retarded and bought a PS4 anyways?
>If I bought a record do I just assume I can play it in a CD player in 20 years?
That's like saying why can't I play Ps4 games on my gamecube, this is different the Ps4 and the Ps3 is from the same company.
A better analogy would be if I bought a cd player and I can't use my cds that i used to play on my older cd player from the same company.
>It's not an UPGRADE, it's a completely different console, asshat.
Finally someone says it! Now the real question is.
WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYONE SAYING IT'S AN UPGRADE?
>mentions how Nintendo AND microsoft has backwards compatibility for nearly all of their previous consoles.
>FUCK OFF NINTENDO SHILL!!11!
Yes, i'm the shill.
Read the thread
> nearly all thier consoles
Keep moving those goalposts user. And stop pretending the 360 and the One are fully backwards compatible we all know they aren't.
Atari 5200 didn't do it, Odyssey 2 didn't do it, SNES didn't do it, Saturn didn't do it, Dreamcast didn't do it, Gamecube didn't do it, PS3 didn't do it for 2/3 of it's run, Nothing past the DSi did it, Wii didn't do it for long, Xbone is emulated shit.
So what you're telling me is that you're no older than sixteen, because you'll have to google half of these consoles.
