Stray Cat Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Title says it all. http://www.siliconera.com/2014/08/19/sony-host-press-conference-playstation-september-1st/ I'm interested to see what's going to happen. I'd be really surprised if it was a new console but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERO! Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 i hope its about the rumour about making the ps4 backward compatible for at least ps2&1 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nayleen Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Define backwards compatibility. Emulated? Sure, definitely possible, but why when they can just put games on PS Now? Everything else won't happen since the hardware isn't there - the early PS3s that still had proper backward compatibility came with a full-blown PS2 built-in. Then again, having it run an emulator would mean it can probably be reverse-engineered to make better third-party emulators... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotsauce2000 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I love Sony's conferences so getting an extra one is all kinds of hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERO! Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 What about PS1 and PS2 games? There is some good news, though. Sony is reportedly working on native emulation for PS1 and PS2 games in the PS4. This means you won’t need to use PlayStation Now to play your very old games, and will be able to simply put the disc in your PS4.This rumour comes from Ashan Rasheed, an ‘industry insider’. However, it is certainly nothing more than a rumour at this point.Rasheed says that the PS4 will be able to run older games at 1080p resolution too, rather than the much lower native resolutions of the older consoles – most PS1 games are designed to run at 240 x 320 resolution. This won’t mean 20-year-old will suddenly look fresh, but it will reduce the ‘jagginess’ in polygons in these older games. got this from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Cat Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Not like i wouldnt hope for it, would be very nice. but seems very unlikely to me. personally i would hope for a new handheld. wich is even more unlikely. Sony, bring us your JOLED screens (ノ ゜Д゜)ノ ︵ ┻━┻ I could possibly see the Vita 3000 announced for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madvanced Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 From SONY I only ask that they dump a bunch of games both original ones and localizations for the VITA. I want the VITA to have more love. The good news is that Freedom Wars is coming to the west. Funyarinpa and Stray Cat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I bet this will just be game announcements for the most part, what other realistic reason could they have? Highly doubt any hardware will be introduced. Some new software functions may be a possible thing but that's as far as my imagination goes.

Nosebleed Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 FIFA 15 Because there's never enough FIFA games If this was in the announcement i'd actually lose some more hope for humanity, even if most of it is already gone.

Stray Cat Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'm betting it will just be Japanese games for the announcement but we'll see. My question though is why not just wait a month for TGS if it's only games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a lot of free games that I don't need to purchase games any longer. Plus I get discounts. Free games by paying a monthly fee Hmm.. Nope this is not a definition for "free" included in the English Oxford Dictionary Adjective 3. Not subject to engagements or obligations 5. Given or available without charge Adverb: 1. Without cost or payment PS: Yes I know the amount of money is a nice bargain for the benefits it actually gives off, but it's definintely not "free".

Zenophilious Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 If, somehow, they announced new Crash and Spyro games as PS4 exclusives (I know it's never gonna happen D: ), I'd kick Microsoft to the curb and shower Sony with money. I want them sooooo badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is, it's not free if you're paying for it. You're technically only getting getting a license to play said games as long as you keep paying, so really, the licenses are a part of your subscription to PS Plus. Even if you got to keep them, you still would've technically paid for the games. Sony and Microsoft just want people to think that they're getting free games, but it's still from a paid service. Think of it like a complementary beverage on a flight. The soda isn't really free. Aaaaaanyway...still interested in the press conference, even though I only have a 360 and a PS2. I'm all for new IPs, even if I can't play them. krill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stray Cat Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Oh, yes. Give the unloved child more love. Otherwise they snap and kill everyone in the family I think the gaming community in general wants this. As well was the ability to actually buy the console in stores.

Well, they're at least launching a new bundle in Europe... ...I'll buy that: it looks pretty awesome (for a Vita bundle)!
