PS4 back games

Martonio

Hey, does anyone know if PS4 will be able to play PSone -PS3 games? The PS4 looks really tempting when compared to the Xbox one. A big deciding factor for me is the ability to play previous generation games such as FF and MGS.

No it won't be able to play ps2 or ps1 or ps3 games natively it will however stream them from the cloud for a fee.

PS4 Backwards compatible

I don't see what the issue is with backwards compatibility. Most people who want to play games on previous consoles will probably have that console anyway.

I’m not so sure about this. There will be a lot of Xbox 360 users migrating to the PS4 this generation, myself included. I’d love to play the likes of the Uncharted trilogy, God of War & The Last of Us having never had the chance before.

Anyone care to guess the cost it will be?

I still have my PS1 and SNES hooked up to my TV and i don't see the issue either.

The PS4 will be $399 while the xbox one will be $499. Likewise I will probably be migrating to the PS4 from my xbox and I would things to be backward compatible especially for the aforementioned games. I would also like to be able to play some PS1 games primarily FF and MGS and other such great classics. The PS3 has a lot of great games and it would be a shame for people who are switching to PS for the first time in ages will lose out on.
