it doesn't play every single game released on a Sony console in the past 25 years, therefore it is a failure /sSo all PS4 games will be BC but only most of the top 100 will have boost mode.
Whats wrong with that?

I wouldn't say it's a dealbreaker for me although it still is disappointing. I'm lucky enough to have a dedicated gaming room with all my past consoles (hooked on their appropriate tvs) but of course i would have appreciated it if the PS5 was fully BC with all previous gens. That would have been a nice back-up especially if all the games were HD enhanced.Yup, this is a dealbreaker. Backwards compatibility is huge for me, and I'm grateful that at least one of the big three shares my priorities.
I can't wait to play Blinx: The Timesweeper day one on my Series X.
Thanks Phil!

The price is indeed a significant factor.... But... Didn't the Xbox One X outsell the PS4 Pro?
And what about features? Because Xbox BC for one, is at this point superior. And it is an important one.
Until now, what has been shown for the XSX is simply superior to what has been shown for the PS5. Both on paper, and in terms of amount of things we got to see.
First impressions are important. Don't underestimate it. It's basically what "killed" the Xbox One. They failed at the announcement and the PS4 won that whole generation because of it.

Hey Im glad they just added PS4 games the way people are talking.no PS3, PS2, PS1.
Not the end of the world, i know many people don't care about playing good old games, but still for comparison sake it has to be said it is a feature Xbox offers fully.

I'll add this info and the info from PSBlog to the OP. This is really confusing messaging.

O so games that have been on playstation since the psp days are a problem now i dont care about what you want if people want to play those games "love live,hatsum no miku, Senran" thats there business you realize the reason people ask for BC is so they can play niche games right? No one is bring down the door to play another version of a HD remaster of RE4 or skyrim.I am certain that hits most of the games we all play anyway.
Stuff like that loli-weeb shit doesnt need to run day one.
What if PS5 is $100 cheaper?
What if it's $200 cheaper?
That matters. A LOT.
Perhaps even more if we enter a Depression due to CV.
Do you all think that Bloodborne was one of the top 100 games by playtime?
Who sold you them? It wasn't Sony to be fair. They hadn't told us shit till now other than PS4 BC.I'm not buying and hooking up a PS2 and PS3 to my monitor. They will look like shit without spending a lot on upscalers.
I was sold lies about the PS5 being able to play them.

Then there's Xbox Lockhart which is cheaper still. PS5 will be perfect if there is an exactly medium-sized depression.
Honestly, I kinda did too. I think I wanted it to be true. Especially once ms did 3 generations. It seemed very reasonable to me.I fell for all the "Insider" crap that was going around.
To be honest, it didn't seem that far-fetched. But here we are.
No mention of the older consoles whatsoever, and only the top 100 games sort of work apparently.So are only PS4 games back compatible or does it also support PS1,2,3?
Only top 100? For fucks sake.

Personally I think they are just being prudent. I still remember when Microsoft claims their surface laptops have 11hours of battery life.And that's the crux of the problem. They used vague generalities to describe the featureset which just kept us in the dark and guessing.
If they had full PS4 backwards compatibility, they could have made a statement like Microsoft did: "Your entire library from the PS4 will come with you to the PS5" instead of this "top 100 games" bullshit.
Cerny said "most of the top 100" Ps4 games will be playable at release. How does everyone feel about this? I thought most PS4 games would be playable.
Just rewatched, and he says "We recently took a look at the top 100 PS4 titles as ranked by playtime, and we're expecting almost all of them to be playable at launch".Cerny defo implied the top 100 were the ENHANCED games not the compatible games.

So some won't even work, and how many of the top 100 are just FIFA or COD or other soulless franchises? Doesn't leave much room for actual games.
This is really confusing messaging.
Running PS4 and PS4 Pro titles at boosted frequencies has also added complexity, the boost is truly massive this time around and some game code just can't handle it.
Testing has to be done on a title by title basis, results are excellent though, we recently took a look at the Top 100 PlayStation 4 titles as ranked by play time and we're expecting almost all of them to be playable at launch on PlayStation 5.
With regards to new features as I said our strategy was to try break new ground, but at the same time not to require use of the new GPU capabilities.
