Actually only Japanese and US models had the chipset which was removed for Europe. We got software emulation of the PS2 which was subpar. It was to keep costs down yet charged Europeans more for the console...

All PS 2 backwards compatibility was removed for later editions of the console. Well from discs. Had no trouble selling them back on PSN. Software emulation was so riddled with issues kind of wouldn't have worked well with discs anyway, even the PS2 games on PSN mostly run like dirt.

The 60GB model had the PS2 chip in it for full backwards compatibility with the previous gens.

It was removed to save costs a few years later.

For me the reasons for getting at launch if it's backwards compatible are to get a good price for the non pro PS4 against it and the supposedly improved performance of PS4 games. I've a backlog of games I can play until the PS5 games I want come out. But will just wait for more details before booking anything

I think what makes this different from any playstation launch previously is that its backwards compatibile,the launch library is going to be the PS4 library plus what ever games we get when and after the console launches.

So never before has the games available on launch mattered less. To me this is a good thing,it will help early adoption too.

I've even seen people (not on this forum though) complain that the console is not all black :eek:

CastorTroy

Just seeing the talk of the logo made me take a quick look at my games here. For the PS3 era they changed from the Spider-man logo to the newer logo but then consistent through PS4

Now, now boys and girls. It's just all fun and games console speculation.
From my side of this thread, I'm just looking forward to hopefully getting the console on release. Like I've done with most consoles, since their existence;)

To be honest on the box and logo front, it doesn't bother me one bit. I'll take
whatever comes. Hopefully it won't be long now before we see pricing(€450-€499-€550) and official pre-orders up.

And a 2015 VW Golf is cheaper than a 2020 one. But that 2020 Golf will be cheaper if you buy it 5 years from now. This is hardly shocking news.

So sure, you can wait 3 years and save a couple of hundred quid if you really want to. But if you enjoy gaming as a hobby and you have the money (and gaming is cheaper than most hobbies) then there's absolutely nothing wrong with buying the console on launch day.

But if you wait a few year you also get the better upgraded refresh of the console so that analogy doesn't really work. Also consoles are not the only way to experience gaming.
If you have practically unlimited money then sure why not pick it up even if it has no launch games that interest you. But there are just some many options when it comes to spending money on gaming especially around Christmas time.

I have a PC for cross platform games.
I want to get as much as I can for the PS4 so selling it asap is probably best.
Can anyone thinks of some must have exclusives due for release between now and the end of November?

Edit: Of course "Ghost of Tsushima", that may be my last game for the ps4

Potential-Monke

Box art has been basically dead for years, save for the odd special edition and that is just the same or a steel case. Least of my worries.

Re: Launch, with the trouble I'm having with the fan noise on the 4, it definitely means I'll be getting launch anyway!

This version of the logo is now in its third iteration - PS3, PS4 and now PS5 with a version used for the Vita as well. It's very safe and very bland at this stage. It would have been nice to see a little shakeup in that department with something that reflected the unique design of the console. It feels very much like an afterthought.

The PS2 and PSP line logos were lovely. What they use now is really dull.

It’s all for branding reasons, it’s instantly recognisable as PlayStation.

I was never a huge fan of it but no more than them not getting rid of the blue because the brand is so strongly related to it, they won’t change that either. They’d have to build up the new logo and they probably don’t want to take the risk.

In fairness to them if they did this you'd still have people moaning about it. mainly collectors that would have them all in a line on a bookshelf or otherwise.

They're damned it they do damned it they don't. They're probably very much thinking here that digital is where the main amount of sales will be in the future so best not spend too much time and effort on changing the packaging too much.

Agreed. Plus I think you run the risk of over-designing them. The name and logo is incredibly recognisable, and changing the borders of the publisher's cover art of the game itself means publishers have to take that into account when designing cover art as it has to work for all mulitplatform versions.

There's not a lot they can really do, or need to do. After a few months, people don't notice it anyway as their eyes just gloss over it having seen it so many times before.

I wish they'd freshen up the Logo and Design a bit on the game packaging. Especially when they're after going all out with the design of the console itself.

I always wait a year before I buy a new console,
then there will be at least 5 new games I want to buy on release. I,d like to know will there be 2 versions of every game , if you have only a 1080p TV,
There's no point in downloading gigabytes of 4k hdr
files. I think there, ll be a non 4k Xbox console
which will be cheaper and a 4k Xbox console
with more memory.
I think the ps4 was a big hit because it was a very good console and cheaper than the xbox1.
Most Aaa games are released on both consoles,
I don't really care about exclusives on consoles
. There is no Dev making 8k games, 8k is just pr
BS. 99 per cent of gamers have a 1080 or a 4k TV. When any new console comes out there is always a certain amount of hype just to generate interest in the public.

The reality is consoles are best value a very years after the launch date.
The main reason to by on release day is hype.
