Well it's in the news

I bought 360 for the backward compatibility, however it was pretty horrible. I only played Max Payne 1 & 2. I wanted to play games such as Crazy Taxi 3, HeadHunter2, and Sonic Heroes. All I ended up playing was Max Payne 1 & 2. So it had some good backward compatibility, some terrible and other games like Crazy Taxi 3 that simply didn't work. I switched to a PS3 (60 GB) for a flawless (and enhancement less) experience.
As DMF I find current gen useless. It is just an upgrade brought on by product life cycles rather than a true leap in hardware.
The worse thing about current gen is the absence of BC, it looks like that may be changing soon.
Whichever console gets 100% backward compatibility first with a 6th Gen Console is the one I am going to buy.

Re: Backward compatability resurgence
Now that their hardware is on x86, I don't think it's possible for every console forward to NOT be backwards compatible. All that means is more titles available for download, more purchases, more money. Steam is a perfect example of that.

Re: Backward compatability resurgence
Youll probably have to wait forever, lol, I seriously doubt M$ will achieve 100% compatibility.
They are emulating the 360 games, have you ever seen an emulator that is 100% compatible?
IMO, PS4 lacks the power to emulate the unique PS3 Cell CPU, a Sony rep said "if it was easy, we’d have done that"

It sounds like Sony could introduce a Streaming Service, using Cloud Computing to stream PS3 Games onto your PS4.
Kind of like how I stream games from my PC in my bedroom using Nvidia GameStream, and play them on my OUYA in my living room using a reverse-engineered Nvidia Shield Android App called MoonLight.
Then the lines start to blur, if you can cloud stream PS3 games onto a PS4, then technically, couldnt you cloud stream PS4 games onto a PS3?
However, I am excited that M$ is doing this. Here is me wishing that one day this emulator will be available on PC

Re: Backward compatability resurgence
I'm convinced that Sony sees the end of dedicated game consoles coming, and is laying the groundwork to turn "PlayStation" into a streaming/on-demand brand.

Re: Backward compatability resurgence
Sony is interested in using PS Now to stream PS4 games in the near future.
Will hackers find a way to stream it onto a PS3? For the sake of lulz, I hope so
