Can mods just close this shit. Another pointless thread made off a bs rumor.
keep it open so that BS artists like Tidux and Foxy are recognized for their bs.

Im getting a bad feeling about all of this, maybe Sony need more time to fix some issue or feature not considered for the PS5 at launch.
Just months ago Sony stated that they were "still working on full backwards capability" with PS4, considering that, how they will manage to launch a console with bc with psone and ps2 that some insiders sugested?
The more the time passes without Sony making a reveal of its console, the more pesimistic i get. And by Pesimist i mean:
-Not full BC with any previous console
- Not full BC with ALL the PS4 catalogue
- Dissapointing hardware
- No "Killer App" at launch
among others.
I really want PS2 and PS3 backwards compatibility, but I think that's a pipe dream. If the PS4 isn't fully backwards compatible with the PS5 then that would be absurd. Like, I don't see any excuse for it not to be.Im getting a bad feeling about all of this, maybe Sony need more time to fix some issue or feature not considered for the PS5 at launch.

I don't think full PS4 BC is possible. If you look back, Sony was very much against the idea of BC, then changed their stance according to patents from around 2016. That means for the first two years of this gen they will not have had any contracts in place that allow them to rerelease PS4 games on PS5. Those games were made with PS4 in mind, all licensed content in them is based on that (licensing fees would be higher if they were targeting more SKUs, longer lifetime). So I can very well see a situation where PS4 BC will only include all PS4 games from 2016 on and only select titles from the early PS4 years (similar to how Xbox 360 BC worked, where they have to make deals with publishers on a per game basis).I really want PS2 and PS3 backwards compatibility, but I think that's a pipe dream.

In my mind, my point still remains that it would be absurd. But time will show us to what level BC we will get. I guess some is better than none.I don't think full PS4 BC is possible.

There are also games that were removed from the marketplace already because of license issues. Those will hardly return. BC isn't as simple as "it can do it, so it will do it".
Do I get a PS4 Pro and sell my slim to enjoy the last year of PS4 on my 4K TV, also many games may run like shit on the base slim so could be beneficial for performance, do I do this?

Personally, I think that would be a dumb move. You're like 7 months away. Unless you're getting it for $100 then it would be pretty stupid, imo. Just save that money for the PS5 unless you don't plan to get that at launch then its another story.
I think it would be a waste of money. But if money is no object, ball out and grab one, lol. And it shouldn't run like shit since games are "optimized" for the base model.Oh no I am planning to get a PS5 on launch either way, just am a bit worried that some games run like shit on the Slim this year.

Do you think Cyberpunk will run well then? As that is the game I am most worried for.

I think you're pretty much right. And Again, i'm starting to get really pessimistic.
One of the things that hasn't been clarified either is..... the PS Store will have some redising?
People are still waiting for the confirmation of horizon on pc lol...Foxy and Tidux also said Sony have bought a big studio and they would be revealing it soon (that was over a month ago lol), I guess that is bullshit too.
