>After thoughtful consideration, we decided to shift our focus and resources to PS4 and Windows PC to further develop and improve the user experience on these two devices.
Playstation Now is shit anyway. Why not just give the PS4 true BC since putting an emulator on it is piss easy? Or why not just port PS3 games on PSN?
Jace Rogers
No one gives a shit about PSNow, why don't they shift focus and resources into actually fixing the backwards compatibility canyon between PS3 and PS4.
There's a reason PS3s are still selling well.
Asher Morgan
>There's a reason PS3s are still selling well. You mean not at all
Luke Perry
What if they make a hardware add on for PS3 BC?
Adrian Morales
emulating the PS3 is impossible.
Isaac Adams
They are though.
Anthony Clark
>for the 12 people still playing it lulz ripoff service anyway
Kevin Martin
Because why not just buy a PS3 at that point?
a 500gb PS3 is $180 on Amazon.
Jaxson Reyes
here in germany fat ps3 go for 80€ ebay. literally no excuse.
Colton Lopez
4ThePlayers
Brody James
Not really. Sony just wants to Jew everyone with remasters.
Zachary Green
Point me to actual PS3 HW sales from the past few years
Protip: you cannot
PS3 and 360 HW and SW sales fell off a cliff as soon as their successors were announced, if you think the PS3 is still selling well four years later, then I have a bridge to sell you.
MS discontinued the 360 last year and Sony have already started the process for the PS3 in several territories. Worldwide discontinuation will happen this year, book it.
Joshua Barnes
this was the reason for $599 btw
Zachary Bell
GameStop has some PS3 units on sale for $40
Lucas Diaz
Free BC vs 50$ """"HD""" remaster
Sony made his choice ant it's not 4theplayers
Carson Richardson
I can't say I even new the service was a thing, is it at least decent for PC?
Ethan Adams
>my speculation is fact
ok
Brandon Parker
Not an argument.
Evan Williams
The cell processor is a mess.
Why would you pay for a dev to port the game, qa test, and all that jazz when you can resell the same exact code on a console where most of the players are exWii and 360 owners?
Makes no sense.
Ryan Fisher
>Twisting this into a negative
It was a waste of resources for something only a few people with fiber internet could utilize. It was also too expensive and a retarded alternative to backward compatibility. Fuck PSNow.
Lucas Roberts
Better yet, buy a PS3 and mod it.
I recently modded my slim that I had sitting in the closet.
It was a waste of money, the PS3 is garbage.
Noah Harris
>not an argument Not an argument.
Samuel Stewart
they might want to jew you with remasters but the ps3 is a literal mess
there's a reason every multiplat ran worse on it and why certain games never got ported anywhere else (it just wasn't worth the hassle)
ps3 emulation is literally never ever tier
Justin Campbell
Speak for yourself dude, My PS3 gets a lot of use.
Games for it are super cheap.
Isaiah Jackson
>Buying games
Alexander Young
I only pirate Nintendo games.
John Kelly
>copypasting code is imposible Are you trying to delude yourself on purpose to have an excuse for paying $60 for the same games again or do you actually believe what you just said?
Nathaniel Moore
Awesome. I have five family members living in different states that have tried it and all of them said there was massive lag and disconnects.
Not to mention that PS Plus sales virtually died around the same time the service became active. Sony probably realized that they can sell more PS Plus subscriptions and pull in more money from sales than continuing the service.
Adam Flores
Thank god.
Does this mean we will actially get backwards compatability
Thomas Jones
>Buying games at all >Not buying used consoles and modding them >Not pirating every PC game
Laughing my ass off at this dumb goy.
Jaxon Torres
You don't know shit
Typing all that to waste our times
As a actual developer
The moment a Xbox original emulator is half complete is the day the ps3 emulator becomes a possible reality
Grayson Sanchez
>Used consoles That's like buying a used car from a rental place. Only the worst of the worst sell their consoles.
Joshua Brooks
Keep on using excuses nigger, you're still getting jewed.
Gabriel Robinson
well, i guess i have no reason to update to 3.61 then.
Fuck you sony. Fuck you in the ass.
Isaiah Evans
There is an actual working xbox emulator on xbox 360. Emulation is much easier if you made the orignal console and have all the documentation and information you might need.
That being said, PS4 could never handle ps3 emulation.
Austin White
I agree for handhelds. But motherfucker a console is a console. If it works it works. Not like there is a screen to dent.
Hudson Ward
ur really dumb
Luis Walker
DUDE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW VIDEO GAMES WORK BUT I'LL ACT LIKE I DO TO SPREAD MISINFORMATION AND IGNORNACE EVERYWHERE LMAO
Robert Peterson
...
Lincoln Robinson
well it isnt #4ThePlayers and now it clearly isnt #4ThePayers either, who is it 4?
Christian Reyes
what are the chances that sony is doing this to put ps4 games in
