General Videogame Thread

There are still plenty of tremendous titles on the PS3 imo, but with the system now considered obsolete and peripherals especially no longer in production, that catalogue could be lost. (and fuck paying for it again on PS Store) It's genuinely the most important aspect I want to be announced.

It's why I'm a great believer that emulation is really important in gaming. It prevents years of content being lost when physical media & hardware eventually stop working

If it allows backwards compatibility on PS3 games (at least) i'll accept it looking like Phil Jones' face.

Think they've more or less confirmed it will play PS1, 2 and 3 titles from the disc.

Don't get me hyped... i'm down to my last workable ps2/ps3 controller.

If they can manage to get it to play PS4 titles as well, the marketing campaign behind PS5 would be obvious. :)
