its useful if you don't have both your consoles with you at all times, but as you see no one would get rid of their 360, with their 2 free games a month aswell its far better to keep as the games have been brilliant recently
Yep, gutted there are no signs of it for the PS4. Was only thinking the other day I fancy playing some PS3 games.
I think they should make the ps3 forward compatable. #nextgensux
When I want to play PS3 I use my PS3. Stupid selling it when you get barely anything for it and then complain you can't play PS3 games
Backwards compatability on the face of it sounds a big announcement and is something gamers always claim to be top of their list, the reality is gamers moving onto next gen are looking for next gen experiences and backward compatibility is more for nostalgia purposes than any real gaming necessity,
My old PS3 had backwards compatibility which was nice but barely used.
Having said that if I was MS this sort of thing would make sense, they needed a big announcement for E3 which on the face of it it was, but in reality this was more about trying to keep the Xone relevant to 360 owners, who have been leaving the xbox in favour of the PS4, this announcement was more important to MS from a business perspective than any real advantage to gamers.
They won't make games which are available for both 360 and XBOne backwards compatible. For example, Skyrim.
Yeah i agree with most the backwards compatible thing isnt a huge thing for me .... still got the 360 and loadsa games and you will be limited to finding a game that you already have that Msoft will also allow ...If you have the old games chances are you still have the old console .. And is PS not bringing out Playstation Now with the old games on it.
And @ RobertUSA yup the next gens suck so much that you wanna turn your Ps3 into one ...... hmmmmm. Next gen games are really starting to come into their own now but that was always gonna be the case once they stopped doing titles for both old and next gen consoles. So you could say that its the old consoles and fans that are holding the next gen consoles back
I got rid of my 360 so I was very happy with the announcement - simply a space issue in that I don't want three consoles by my TV. I haven't enjoyed a single game on the one or ps4 as much as a few 360 titles so I would play them again now - the new gen consoles have been gathering dust for me in all honesty.
It's only a good thing really. Not an unbelievable thing, but a good one.
did u keep you 360 games and just sell the console ?? If you sold the games then you will need to buy them again i assume
also on this are they able to do cross platform games for this or will it only be xbox exclusives?
PS im right there with you on the red dead fromt I personally thuoght it was better than GTA. Much stronger story and the world was more immersive i thought
Just the console, a friend of mines had packed up so I gave it to him but he already had all the same games I did anyway. They've been sat in a box waiting to go!
Completely agree with the red dead comments.
To be honest I'm worried this is only really gonna work for XBLA games, I really dont see EA or Rocksteady agreeing to this............
Will be happy to be proven wrong but all previous attempts at backwards compatibility have been half assed and at the moment i see this as the same
