We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Most likely. Given the situation surrounding the game, I doubt it was tested for BC compatibility, and from Sony's perspective, I imagine it makes more sense to cut off avenues of unofficial support than allow users to run a game that could -- as infinitesimal as the possibility may be -- cause stability issues.
the funny thing is if people hadn't made such a huge noise questioning whether PT would be backward compatible, Konami/Sony might not have gone and requested it be disabled, at least not before launch like this
PS4 won't be packed until we get confirmation that the proxy method works (same PS4 code, so less likely) or SONY enables this specific SKU back on BC mode.
The API is server side, so it checked compatibility online and then blocked it from booting.
Konami literally had gold in their hands.
Now all they want to do is bury it.
What an absurd company.

That person who asked Konami about it should never have bothered!

Makes sense. Publishers most likely have total control over this and Konami wants this game dead.Polygon:

SO THAT THEY CAN INCLUDE IT AS BONUS CONTENT WITH THE PREMIUM EDITION OF THE NEW SILENT HILL GAME

Absolutely disgusting for Konami to snuff out horror history.

Well, there you have it.
Hmmmmmm. I wonder if some sort of proxy can be set up (kinda like how we download PT from a proxy now) that sends a false "compatible" API check....
I don't understand people saying to keep PT machines. It's easy as hell to download PT to any PS4, the rub is having the actual license to run it, right? That's tied to your account.
Yeah, and like hell will I be selling my PS+ account with my PS4...
Such a unique, weird little piece of gaming history. Murdered by Konami, much like everything else worthwhile they had.
Wait, so in order to play BC games, you need to be online for the servers to give you permission? Or am I misunderstanding things.
