Playstation Orbis PS4 : Othor Games

» Tue May 15, 2012 10:00 am

The New Playstation Orbis. Or PlayStation 4 to some. Will not support any backwards compability at all for nothing. No PS2 no PS3 .. possibly even no PS1.
It will also have something about not playing used games at all. Seems to me like a good pile of BS, but whatever. It will support 4k resolution games.

AMD x64 CPU
Radeon HD 7700 and 7900 graphic cards.

Also .. to be released on holiday 2013.

What are your thoughts about this etc. Anything will do.

And have a nice day guys. :smile:

Search them up. They are all over the internet.

Is this another rumor?

NO SOUP FOR YOU

First of all, those are unsubstantiated rumors. Second of all, backwards compatibility is integral to Playstation. I bought a PS3 at the right time and it can play any PS2 game. I was even playing DaH on it a few days ago.

All I'm getting are reports about unsubstantiated rumors. Try again

Rumor or not. It's getting alot of attention.

All unconfirmed rumors here too. Just like the ES MMO. Fake [censored] is given a lot of attention all the time though, so nothing new here.

So do conspiracy theories and alien visitations, doesn't mean you should pay attention to them.

Pretty sure no backwards compatibility with PS3 games would be the dumbest idea of All Time and would give Microsoft a great chance to one-up them by having it. Since an overwhelming majority of console titles this gen have been multi-platform, a good move, that would not be.

I said that I bought a PS3 at the right time, so no Slim for me. Just a fat 80 GB model. :smile:

The PS3 doesn't have backwards compatibility with the PS2 anymore, and only has software-based backwards compatibility with the PSX. If there's some big differences in the architecture for the PS4 then there'd be no way to do software-based compatibility that would run on any decent level. The 360 also only has partial backwards compatibility through software, and things claimed to be compatible vary greatly in how well they run. There's a good chance the xbox's next iteration also won't have backwards compatibility.

PS3 controllers didn't even have Dualshock support until 2008. Comparing my old controller with my new one, the Sixaxis-only one feels as light as a feather.

In hardware form, I might add. The older PS3s have a chip inside them that allows them to play PS2 games. I have an old 60 GB PS3 that runs any PS2 game that I've popped into it just fine.

I still have a copy of Destroy all Humans and Soul Calibur III that I still occasionally pop in to my 2008 model from time to time.

Isn't there a possibility the PS4 will simply not use any retail discs?

Cutting out the optical drive and limiting games to digital download only would be a very interesting move IMO.

It wouldn't have to be DD only. They could go retro and use some sort of cartridge, possibly a simple flash-based thing, with DD being an option.

I don't like the idea of not having physical copies of things that I buy.
