The lack of backwards compability really sucks sony

[SantaC]

What a missed opportunity. There are several PS3 games I still want to buy and that is stopping me from getting a PS4 at this moment. FF13-3, Tales of Xillia 2, Tales of Zesteria and Persona 5.

 :'(

[Human Snorenado]

You don't have a PS3 still??? I mean it sucks but meh.

[Trent Dole]

Yeah but the PS3 had a insane shitty architecture so I can understand them bailing on it in this fashion. Do you think they could've launched at 400 with bc included?

[Himu]

No, he has a ps3, but he has no reason to get a ps4 because there's still ps3 games he wants.

[Human Snorenado]

PS3 lineup does shit all over announced 2014 PS4 lineup imo. No tears on my end for not "upgrading" at launch.

[SantaC]

No, he has a ps3, but he has no reason to get a ps4 because there's still ps3 games he wants.

exactly. And I rather get rid of my PS3 and play these games on a new shiny PS4. But I guess I have to hold onto my old PS3 for 1-2 more years.

[Himu]

Name me one system, aside from Dreamcast and maybe snes or nes, that was worth getting, before it was 2-3 years old. I can't think of a single one.

Why are you in such a rush to buy a new system? New hardware never brings out the good games until like 2-3 years into the new generation. It's always been like this.

[cool breeze]

yeah, it doesn't seem like people care and give these companies a reason to.  but I wish that wasn't the case.  I'd rather be playing yazuka 3 on my ps4, even if all it means is a different controller. 

and I'm guessing HD ports are more lucrative than backwards compatibility

gamecube had most of their good games within 1-2 years.

Exactly what I said.

REmake >>> RE4 imo.

I bought:

-smash
-REmake
-SMS
-ED
-Metroid Prime

within one year after GC launch.

[Himu]

The Wii was a good year one system, though it's easy to see why.  Some handhelds fare well, too.  GBA, PSP, and Neo Geo Pocket all were great out of the gate.

PSP had a great launch, gba had a solid one as well. Portables are definitely the better example. But consoles? Ehhhh.

[Rahxephon91]

I mean I just keep my old systems around. Like why get rid of them?

REmake is great. But the game is too oppressive for me to want to play multiple times.

[Himu]

Oh wow, you're right. For some reason I had it in my head it launched in 2003.

[SantaC]

heh, maybe you thought of Wind Waker which slipped to a 2003 release date in North America.

edit: on that note, I have no idea why Nintendo released Zelda WW in the month of march 

[SantaC]

Nintendo likes to release big games in March.

true, however most of the Zelda games has always had a November release date.

[Joe Molotov]

Nintendo likes to release big games in March.

Wait for March.

3d Mario World
Wind Waker HD
Super Smash Bros
Bayonetta 2
Dankey Kang
March

Yeah this was one of two main reasons why I didn't jump on the console launch bandwagon like I usually do. Usually I just trade in my system and jump to the next one. The other reason being no interesting looking games for me whatsoever. All the games I want are popping up on the PC in some form anyways. This has got to be the most uninteresting console generational leap so far for me.

[Huff]

sucks to be poor

[Great Rumbler]

The PS4 doesn't have backwards compatibility, so I just bought a PS3 instead.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I remember whenborians trolled the PSP forever saying it has no games yet now it's known as one of the best launch systems ever? 

glad you guys finally got on my level

(ps what were the psp launch games)

[MyNameIsMethodis]

If only Nintendo would release cube games on vc

It had metal gear acid and lumines at launch and that was all anyone should have needed.
