Topic: PlayStation 5 --OT--

@WebHead We won’t have digital trade-in because that would mean people would an for used digital games cheaper, and as much as I think used games should always be there, that’s not a can of worms the industry should get into. People could also trade digital games or want to trade them far too much.

@Jaz007 fine maybe not trade in but def rentals and partial refunds within a certain timeframe.

Sony have no obligation to improve anything, only that it works and they fix things when they go wrong. Still I think you are right, they will probably will changes things up a but up for ps5, especially the UI for the console, whilst still keeping the same look and feel from ps4. But i don't expect any drastic changes to the trophy system or anything like that.

@JohnnyShoulder they do have an obligation to improve its their job to continue to improve playstation network and services. Same goes with Xbox and Nintendo.

I know its a PS forum but come on people.

@WebHead To be honest those are all things that would have been possible on the PS3. I don’t see any reason why they should be implemented on the PS5 if thay haven’t done so already as it’s a software decision rather than being limited by hardware.

@Ryall well lets use anthem. It really sucks to spend so much money on a agame then to not be happy with it or to have it be a broken mess. I didn't buy the game but still. I dont think asking for some form of preper digital refund system is unreasonable.

@WebHead Just don't pre-order games and wait for reviews.

@WebHead
Will Anthem run on my PS4? Yes
Will YS six run on my PC? I managed to get it to work after adjusting the resolution it was trying to output at using the steam control panel.
The only risk you’re taking when you buy a PS4 game digitally is that you won’t like the game. With a PC game there’s always a risk that it won’t work. Either because your hardware is not capable or you don’t have the skills to configure it correctly.

@Ryall And steam itself has a refund system.

@WebHead Sony has been offering refunds on Anthem that were bought off the ps store.

If a product does not work, you have rights as a consumer for a full refund. If you have opened the game up and therefore broken the seal, and then decided to return the game to the store because you don't like it, good luck in getting a refund. At most they will most likely offer you the same game in exchange.

Man i hope w get some leaks soon. The playstation news drought sucks. I understand Days Gone but still.

@Frigate They’ve said that already. They just haven’t done the real reveal.

@Frigate At some point they acknowledgement it, it just wasn’t a big deal because all did was acknowledge the PS5 is in development.

Please let the rumor of full compatibility back to PS1 be true! That would be absolutely amazing! It has me excited about Sony in ways I haven't felt for years!

@Kidfried If it at least went back to PS3, that would be good enough for me. It would let me put away my PS3 and 4 and play all those games plus new PS5 games on one system. But PS1 and 2 would be a dream!

@Kidfried @Heavyarms55 Whilst PS4 BC is very likely at this point, I don't think PS1 and PS2 support is unreasonable. Either by including some kind of emulation software in the box, or by including the old tech to run it natively. It wouldn't require much in terms of space at all these days, it's just a question of how cheap it is to make the simple, but outdated tech. PS3 BC is definitely the least likely option; it's in that area where emulation can prove really difficult due to the Cell architecture, whilst at the same time, including a PS3 in the PS5 could be too expensive.

@Octane I'd be very willing to buy a more expensive model of a PS5 that has the full backward compatibility. In fact, it would be the main reason I would upgrade at all right now. If we got PS5 and it was just a more powerful PS4 without even PS4 support, I'm not sure I'd buy it at all. If it only supported PS5 and PS4 then it would have to be around the same price point the PS4 is right now at most 50 dollars more. But I'd happily drop 500 dollars on a PS5 that supported Sony's entire back catalog. I'm sure I'm in the minority on that point however.

If they released 2 version of the console, one with support and one without, that could work. Having a cheaper option for people who don't care about the retro support would probably be viable.

@Heavyarms55 I think I would as well; but this is console gaming, the most amount of choice you're getting is 1TB or 2TB

https://www.resetera.com/threads/another-sony-interactive-ent... I def think BC for PS4 is happening. Too much smoke

I only expect PS4 BC. Tbh at this point its laughable not to expect it.
