re: No backwards compatibility from MS or Sony?

Yeah. I've never bought digital copies of my games so I'm SOL on that.

The BC rumor was the only thing getting me pumped for the next gen.

Now I'm just like, "cool features, bro. . .which of these can my PC not do."

I was the drum major for the consoles on this board upon hearing that rumor. Now I'm on team meh.

I get why they aren't doing it. Architecture and marketing.

Then they will cease support of the 360 and make you buy the games again, digitally.

The graphics don't scale up, so they fricking suck.

This statement is fricktarded.

Did you think the graphics were going to be better than was coded on the discs?

I look past graphics, when the game is great.

I'd rather play an awesome game with dated graphics, than a shitty game with awesome graphics.

Pays $400+ for a brand new next gen console to play previous gen games


Seems legit

PC is backwards compatible with every older generation from every console.

But emulators can be a little buggy

edit: before someone says it, I'm considering halo at 10 fps close enough because I like the hyperbole

yup, that was my expectation.....

NONSENSE!!!!

I feel bad for people who are so obsessed with graphics that it keeps them from experiencing a game. A few of my friends fall into this category.

There is a threshold, though... I'm getting spoiled. I acquired a copy of oblivion for PC the other day and didn't really get into it because of the graphics


But on topic. Already been said basically, but perhaps the companies assume that customers either have the older gen console already, or it's their first console of that brand and have no desire to play older gen games. So there's no reason to encourage any further hard copy sales of older gen games (likely used) that give the companies zero dollars.
