Some people are really underestimating Sony here after all they have shown over the years......MS has never had a better OS in the console space.....who gave us shareplay, share button/media features, live with PlayStation, twitch/ustream functionality on day 1, then we also had useful features like communities, lots of info on your titles including patch updates, fast installs and the list goes on.....People are also forgetting that the PS2 classics got improved rez and framerates, I have lots of them including rise of the Kasai, the star wars games etc......Sony is at the heights of it, OS and software related, so I think their OS features will be even more robust next gen since they are offering so much high end parts in their hardware...
The only console with widespread supersampling is the PS4, you also have the option to disable SS and get better framerates at 1080p. A feature which Leadbetter tries to knock on every occasion, anytime he gets a chance, you mean it's too much work to click two buttons to set your PS4 OS to 1080P and get better frames, and this guys covers PC gaming, the hypocrisy......Personally as far as BC is concerned, I think Sony will offer PS2/PS3 BC at the OS level.....Personally I think Sony should put an emulator out there for older PS titles, but I think they should sell it at $100, put your money where your mouth is and support the cause, place your disc in for the majority of the old catalog and you can choose resolution up to 4k, 60/30fps, AA/AF, improved textures/classic graphics and trophies......Personally, I dont think it's worth it, but knowing Sony, if they're doing something they're going all out......That's why I don't understand Leadbetter's pessimism and confusion. When Sony did BC on PS2 and PS3 they did 100% BC, they were the pioneers on console crossplay too.....If it's half ass, drip feed BC they wont do it at all, just like they didn't this gen, because there's no way in hell PS4 is emulating Cell and PS3 code...Sony is doing PS4 BC next gen, I have no doubt it will be excellent, the faster SSD will help tremendously there as well....
I'm more stoked for the new OS features we see on PS5, what we don't know yet.....That create button alone looks like it has lots under the hood......Guys like Kingthrash can make a pretty slick video in quicktime with PS4's sharefactory, there's a lot Sony is going to bring to PS5 at the OS side.....Games and features is where they will excel, I imagine even movies, movies in VR, sound in VR, VR games, cam features built into their OS for gaming, perhaps their own streaming service like twitch built into the OS......They going big on everything it seems including PSN and a boost for PSNOW, so I think they have so much to unveil still to still any blip the competition makes on the radar.......They are just keeping all the artillery close to their chest......Personally, I think the console design and OS features will break the internet when unveiled, the DUAL SENSE was just the precursor.
