MS is doing a lot of good things on this front..but the standard? Like 10% of the 360 library is actually BC, they do not have full BC on xbox at all and it's not close. It can be way better, full BC alone is way better and it's been done before. PC is the bastion of BC.
Exactly, people forget how alien Cell was, Sony boxed themselves in a corner going with Cell.
LOL no....there is a reason only about 10% of 360 library is actually BC with the one right now. BC especially with different architecture is complex, especially when you throw in weird tech like cell to go along with X86.. As for the patent? Companies patent stuff more inane then this all the time, only sony knows why.
So does the X360, that didn't stop lots and lots of posts about how no one wants to play old games or about it doesn't matter to anyone but a few people, when Xone BC was announced. I think this is what he is getting at. Unless you consider the X360 library small or not worth the BC effort MS made. I don't have the time or patience for it, but i would almost bet that many calling it a system seller are the same ones that shit on MS BC from a high ground.
Yeah agree, and apparently PS now does not exist because reasons. It's pretty bad, it was literally the first thing I noticed and I only joined two days ago. It shows up in many thread every day, it's insanity.
well doesn't the patent explain the tech involved? I guess I would have to compare Microsoft,Nintendo and Sony BC patents from later years to really see what's changed.
I have to admit, I personally don't put the 360 library up there. To give you context where I'm coming from, I consider the 'best library ever' to be a ridiculously messy battle between the PS1, PS2 and DS (with the PS2 probably coming out on top).
Yeah I figured this might be a problem and it's a shame. Is this something a more powerful processor could help with, or would the emulator itself need a lot of development?
yeah that makes more sense now. Different approaches for different companies. Gotcha
You missed my point. PS NOW only has a download function for PS4 games, because they will run natively on the system. PS3 game are currently streaming only. PS5 having PS3 BC means all games on PS NOW would be downloadable and playable natively on PS5 hardware.
They do need it. Played CTR through emulator in FullHD and holy shit, it looks amazing, like a true current-gen remaster.
The only people that test non-licensed games are those who mod their PS4. This has nothing to do with compatibility being a problem.
That's part of the patent (using AI to upscale the texture fidelity) there's a thread covering its capabilities. If they can also implement a texture warping fix for PS1 like some emulators have, it'll be great!
After the complaints this generation, I can only imagine Sony is working on a decent cooling solution for PS5 as an utmost priority.
I mean, how can you know that tho, dude? These games that we're talking about aren't available on PS4, so there must be a reason. It is either compatibility issues, or Trophy implementation like I was saying, or maybe licensing issues, but regardless, they aren't available to purchase or play on PS4, or even on PS NOW.
If that's asking how do I know noone's testing them - you answered that question yourself already - they aren't available.
