With Xbox Series X BC announcement i hope Sony see the importance of that and does the same

Sony has the opportunity to completely knock Xbox BC out of the park with the historical libraries they have under them. Even if their engineers aren't up to the task of making PS3/Vita work, PS1/2/Portable should absolutely be a component here with PS5.
It blows my mind the built in advantage they have in this area that's gone utterly wasted on PS4. Same with Nintendo on Switch and the glacial pace of NSO.

Is that confirmation of full backwards compatibility or backwards compatibility like the Xbox One?

They are just gonna Streisand it. The more people fight it, the more the trolls are going to push it.
Yep, Jason Schreier said that he does not expect anything more than this, unless Sony release updates later on.
Full BC is insanely hard to do with all different architecture of older consoles.
It's the only way I would be interested in PS5 over XSeX. Having some form of legacy support is a big deal to me.
BC is irrelevant for the older generation games other than the PS4 titles .
It really depends on how invested you are in the ecosystem. If you have 50 PS4 games and no Xbox games a BC Xbox will hold no value unless you want to rebuy all of the games. Since there are 100 million PS4's out there I doubt BC on Xbox will be a deciding factor.

its not irrelevant theres lots of older games people buy and play, just see the sucess of remakes and remaster, and there's plenty of games that will never be remastered or remaked that people want to play or just want to play the original, the xone bc success reflects that.
I think they see the money they're leaving on the table by not letting people at least buy and download PS1-3 games, and will definitely try to support as many with the PS5 as possible. I'm not so sure I'd expect to be able to put discs from those consoles into the drive and redeem free copies, though.
The ability to bring my backlog with me to the XSX is the reason I'm probably buying one.
Sure I'll never finish Red Dead Redemption 2 or Kingdom Hearts III... BUT I could...
And that's very powerful.
The fact that I have my X360 save file of FFXIII available on my XOne X for example means I don't have to keep around my 360 hardware to enjoy my old games ... or buy another copy from Square when they inevitably rerelease it, and it'll still work on my XSX.
I wish I could say the same of say Super Mario World or Metal Gear Solid.

PS2 and PS1 emulation is absolutely possible, with many enhancements. We'll have to wait and see how they choose to approach that. If the console will actually read the discs, or they'll just re-sell PS1 and PS2 classics.
PS3 emulators still don't work that well, and you can't expect the PS5 to pack the hardware to make that happen.
So, I imagine PS3 games will just be forgotten. The most popular will end up as remastered titles eventually, but the rest will be lost to time.
Interesting, thanks. I hope they put PS1/2 games on PSN because I don't have any disc lol
Shame about PS3 games. Multiplats are fine on PC, but exclusives :/

but i think they could emulate PSP (and even psvita) too there's great games there, but i think its complicated to say about ps3 emulation, they have all the information, know how and enginers of ps3 that the emulator developers dont, so i think they could create a good ps3 emulator its more a question of investment and dedication i think, but the ones i want to play more are really ps1,ps2 and psp games hehe
Yep I don't have any old discs anymor either. Still, nice to have the option to play from the disc for those that do.
In many cases, purchasing the used copies of older games is actually more expensive than the digital counterpart. Games like Dark Cloud 2 on Playstation are priced at £7.99, but that game is like £40 used right now.
Yeah I forget about the portable titles.
And you're right regarding PS3 stuff, but given that Sony's own PS1 and PS2 emulators are shoddy, and do not work as well as free counterparts I doubt we'll see great things. The PS1 emulator on PS1 and Vita adds quite a bit of input lag to the original games.
Fully Backwards Compatible. That's one hell of a bullet point that has me extremely interested in the Xbox ecosystem right now. To the level of "go out and sell all my PS4 games and buy the Xbox One equivalent."
Microsoft got what they wanted, I'd say, by showing their hand early. I'm excited and I'd completely jump ship if Sony complicates their BC offerings.

XBONE made sense: XB + One = XBONE
XBSEX does not: XB + Se(ries) X? = You really need to reach for this one.
So you are okay with shortening XBOX to XB but not SERIES to SE???
You just did one thing and said it made sense, and then did the same thing again and said it makes no sense.
Just accept that it will be known as the SeX Box and any developer working on a game for it will be considered a SeX worker.
You're chopping a word up (Series) in two in order to come up ith XBSEX.
Major Nelson is crying after reading that post.
I'm sure Sony is aware but I think anything more than PS4 games is unlikely.

It's actually in their best interests to get as many of these games playable on PS5 hardware and working for PlayStation Now, especially PS3 games. They're still using PS3 hardware to run those games.
If they can gather a small engineering team to take the current RPCS3 and add it to the PS5, as well as forming a QA team to test important titles, they can discard the old tech and get PS3 games looking and running better for their service and their console. It's more optimal and makes sense in the long-term.

I don't think the Series X is "Fully BC" as in every Xbox game ever. It has the same BC that the Xbox One has now, and then Xbox One games themselves, obviously that is still more than the PS4. Honestly they need to make PS5 fully PS4 BC (which it will be) add the ability to play PS1/2 games by disc/PSN and then use PS Now for PS3 games.
So fucking stupid.....smh. If there is a god, I hope the XseX bullshit dies a remarkably painful death.
I agree. I've been saying for the last few years that they should've implemented PS1 & PS2 compatibility this generation. They didn't even bother with downloadable PS1 games on PS4, which is a crying shame, since even their portable systems had that ability.
As others have said, PS4 compatibility is confirmed, but I don't know about the rest. In any case, I would love to see them do something with their older systems' games on PS5.

i find it funny that people feel outraged by this juvenile pun and made it the subject of the thread.
sex is just a word, and something natural, why you feel embarrassed about it? There's no problem if the nickname sticks with xsex, I will tell something a sex educator talked in a talk i watched years ago about this.
She said that to treat sex as something embarrassing, serious, something you cant talk, sacred its prejudicial to society health, teenagers and people happines. Because that creates a barrier around people, that sex is not something to be talked, and thats prejudicial to sex education, in all its areas and even the pleasure one, if people talked and treated sex as something that it is, like something natural and fun, society would have less health problems (psycological too), less undesirable pregnancies, and be happier.
The xsex pun (even if its something juvenile) that i made that lots of other people did before me, is actualy a better behaviour for society to naturalize the talk and destroy this mystic barrier around sex than to feel embarrassed and censure people that made it.
This is a good talk i think, but since it changes the subject of the thread lets not continue it, lets talk about bc that is the subject.
You'll get what Sony feels is the minimal amount of effort to put forward on the matter to ensure a purchase from a hypothetical user who might be looking at Xbox and thinking "wow, I want to be a part of that," so...anything that plays on a PS4, most likely. There's no financial incentive for them to do anything more than that, I don't think.
I'd love love LOVE to be able to play my PS2 library natively on PS5, but Sony would prefer prefer PREFER that I rebuy those games digitally if they're even offered at all. Another time, Sub Rebellion. Another time.
Also sex teehee
peepeepoopoo

Xbox just had to worry about two console gens. The amount of games from the PS1-PS3 gens is daunting. I could see the PS5 having PS4 BC but that's about it.
Idk, being able to play old games on a new console isn't really my main focus when buying a new console. Sure it's neat, but not really must have for me.
