"The PS5 is like if you took PC class hardware and really optimized it for gaming." - Jon Blow on his stream right now
He went into more detail saying that because its not limited by 1970s operating systems principles like a desktop PC you get more out of the hardware.

PS5 not having full PS4 BC is incredibly weak.It is, but i assume they'll cover all the games the mass market cares about from Rocket League to Bloodborne or whatever.

Jon Blow produces the world's most technically advanced games; that's quite the high praise. He's also super trustworthy with his opinions which are not colored by him being a bitch ass cunt.
Wasn't Xbox BC rolled out over time as well? It more seems the problem is how woefully behind Sony is on this that now they have to play catch up.Series X is said to be FULLY BC with XboxOne.
They expect them to be playable by launch. An unnecessary passive, and ambiguous on top. We don't actually know what work they need to do that isn't already done, just that they're trickling out support. Could be QA, could be manual tweaking, could also just be paperwork for all we know.People are taking it as "only 100 games", but the point is they took the 100 most popular games and made sure they all work very well.
No, they are taking the top 100 games, and hope to get MOST OF them playable by launch.

No, they are taking the top 100 games, and hope to get MOST OF them playable by launch. They did not take them and make sure they work well already, they claim they aren't expecting them all to work well by launch (of those 100.) Both Cerny and the blog use the word "playable" to; meaning other games.. won't be playable.
I mean yes, he is a controversial dick bag, but he is also a very experienced low level systems engineer. The point he was really making is that game consoles don't have to deal with Windows or Linux.
I've seen a lot of posts from people in compression land talking about how big of a deal the Kraken chip is:
I see Sony is checking the panic we fucked up boxes of loser consoles:Unless Microsoft takes a bit hit on the price the PS5 will be cheaper and by the time that 1.5 TF difference matters they can release the PS5 Pro. Microsoft first party will only drop souped up Xbox One games for the first 2 years. I don't see anything changing
-Let's overclock/add a processor last minute a.k.a. The Saturn
-Let's pretend we have some hidden sauce (ssd) a.k.a. the Xbox One (cloud computing)
With diminishing returns, one console being 20% faster than the other one matters even less than before. And while I don't care for Sony's first party at all, when it comes to assets and presentation they are ahead of the pack. Which matters more noadays than pure specs.In a time when many of the most popular games are virtually endless services? Fortnite, Rocket League, Division, Destiny.. all these type of games need to carry over seamlessly in my opinion.
I also don't get why people that can't wait to spend 500$ (or 1000 if they buy both systems) on a new console care so much about systems being backward compatible. I mean i applaud Microsoft for their service und user centric approach, but who has the time to play new games AND all the old shit?

Aside from FFXV and Bloodborne, I doubt any of the other PS4 games I own would be in the "top 100". Maybe DQXI if they count Japanese sales too.Most of the games will run anyway.

And plenty of people take the time to go back and play old games (we're not even talking about ps1, but ps4, here) including mass market audiences (look at Last of Use Remastered or GTAV), if they're easy to access, but nobody wants 30 boxes under their tv.
And fuck having to re-buy all the ps4 games, too.
Last but not least: A lot of people also trade in consoles to get the new ones, but especially at launch, they don't want to find themselves with only Knack-level shit to play, when they had a massive Ps4 library.
