Bummer: PSN Games Do Not Transfer to PS4 |
Listed in: Tags: backwards compatibility, digital distribution, ps3, ps4, psn
Last night’s PS4 reveal had a bunch of good news for Sony fans. However, as the hype from the event fades and the hard questions start getting asked, the new device is starting to show a few niggling issues. No backwards compatibility is one major concern, and Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has just confirmed that PSN titles will not transfer to your PS4.
In other words, the PS4 is so ridiculously non-compatible with PS3 games that you won’t even be able to access games you’ve purchased for download, much less use an old game disc. Yoshida also noted that your old PS3 saves won’t transfer over, either, which probably won’t matter since the PS4 won’t play PS3 games in the first place. Sigh.
Sony has a “long-term” plan for bringing PS3 games to the PS4 via streaming, but it likely won’t launch with the device. And, if history is any indicator, it will probably have some sort of fee.
Thoughts?

Which brings in the big question of Used games.
I for one will not be buying a PS4 if this is true.

That was just a stupid and ignorant rumor.

NO THANKS! I already have a PC with badass video cards.
The only good news about the PS4 is that it's x86. Meaning cross development with PC will be a breeze. As well as emulation!

And if so, did you manage to build it for less than 48826579 gil?

It's probably done on purpose so you cant get rid of your PS3 if you wanted to play PS3 games.. much like the PSVita, they use a completely different format for their discs pretty much just to piss me off and leave me with two useless pieces of shit that I'll never do anything with since theres still no decent games for.

That makes no sense....at all.
"I can access PS1 and Portable games I've bought over the PSN on any platform and play them on either PS3, PSP or PSV."
That's because they ALTERED those games to work on those systems.

It would be like switching from Mac to PC then complaining that you can't install any of your Apple App Store purchases.
Or going from iOS to Android.
