We recently took a look at the top 100 PS4 titles as ranked by play time
That to me reads that it's system level support where virtually all of the 100 games tested pass, and there fore the likely the same ratio of the entire library pass, while titles that don't might need to be patched on a case by case basis.Guys, what's the verdict. Are all the games available, or only 100.
This is from their blogpost.
"Lastly, we're excited to confirm that the backwards compatibility features are working well. We recently took a look at the top 100 PS4 titles as ranked by play time, and we're expecting almost all of them to be playable at launch on PS5. With more than 4000 games published on PS4, we will continue the testing process and expand backwards compatibility coverage over time."
Regardless of what the truth around PS5 BC is, this is a marketing disaster from Sony.
They need to provide further clarification and provide it quickly.
Also, what exactly are the Criteria for the "Top 100 PS4 games?"
-_-
Thanks.
what a disappointment. Not even full PS4 back compat.
and people were hoping for full playstation catalogue, lol.
That definitely sounds like to me almost 100 of the most played PS4 titles will be playable at launch. Not that they just get boost enhancements, but are the only games playable too.
This confirms that at this time, PS5 is not fully BC with PS4. Of a sample of 100, almost all will be "playable".Guys, what's the verdict. Are all the games available, or only 100.

I think people still had hope. There really is no reason they cant run a ps1 and ps2 emulator tbh.
I know there's some confusion with PS4 BC....but is it confirmed that PS3, PS2 & PS1 BC is off the table?
I don't think they are, the truth is we just don't know but it seems like it will have ps4 compatibility and it sounded like there was a top 100 games were boosted and the rest were playable.Wait so people were originally right now? That all ps4 games won't be there. The ps blog seems to say that.
This was the original title I went with lol before I got it changed cuz I thought I was wrongThis new title is fine, but Sony really needs to come out and clarify this further.
He never says all and they won't ever say that or 100% as that would open them up to a lawsuit if there was even 1 game that didn't.Phil Spencer's exact quote from the article he wrote makes it sound like all existing xbox one games, itd be really bad pr to say this and then it turns out not true, im pretty sure its all.
It doesn't matter what they've said, it won't be 100%. Not even the GBC was 100% BC with the GB.Huh? MS has literally not said that.
They have said the whole XB1 library will be coming over, hell even some of them will be enhanced for Series X.
Where are you getting this? It has been communicated multiple times that everything playable on Xbox One will be BC on XSX including BC OG Xbox and X360 games.No, not even XB1 titles will be 100%. Like the PS5 it'll probably be 99%.
Yeah I mean after this blog post came out that reverted opinions again. I guess new old title :PThis was the original title I went with lol before I got it changed cuz I thought I was wrong
So tales from your ass. Quit spreading misinformation.It doesn't matter what they've said, it won't be 100%. Not even the GBC was 100% BC with the GB.
It's not that it won't be BC. They've simply tested the top 100 so far and a couple have had issues.Since they've only talked about top played PS4 games, how low are the chances for stuff like Gravity Rush 2 to be BC?
Its really disappointing. Full BC with PS4 was a big selling point for me since I didn't own that console and even if the launch lineup isn't amazing I could've picked a lot of exclusives I didn't play yet.
Even if that is the case, I expect the BC solution in terms of XB1 to XSX to be a lot more consistent than the way Sony is talking right now.It doesn't matter what they've said, it won't be 100%. Not even the GBC was 100% BC with the GB.

But is that like total playtime overall? Average playtime per user?
Actually they have in fact said all xb1 games will play on x with the ONLY exception being kinect only games. So if you wanna count that vs the thousands of games instantly playable (some even getting enhanced with ray tracing etc) on XSX then sure lolIt doesn't matter what they've said, it won't be 100%. Not even the GBC was 100% BC with the GB.
They didn't talk about it, but they used the example of PS2 hardware in the PS3 as an example of the "wrong approach" to BC. I wouldn't get your hopes up.I know there's some confusion with PS4 BC....but is it confirmed that PS3, PS2 & PS1 BC is off the table?
Sony already supports it, Smart Delivery is nothing but a fancy word for cross-gen cross-buy. Whether Sony and other publishers will support it remains to be seen, 0 word on it so far.How vague.
Is the Sony version of Smart Delivery confirmed has there been a definitive answer that I have missed?
Tell me Sony you cowards!
that's not tales from his ass, that's accurate and has been throughout the life of backwards compatibility. not every game will run.
What? All XBO games will work on XBX, and the BC catalogue of original and xbox 360 games will move over aswell.It doesn't matter what they've said, it won't be 100%. Not even the GBC was 100% BC with the GB.
Hard to argue with made up facts and fantasies.It doesn't matter what they've said, it won't be 100%. Not even the GBC was 100% BC with the GB.
