Next PlayStation Is Three Years Off, Sony Says

Given the above, i'd wager they'll hold Final Fantasy VII remake back for that.

Doesn't really matter - current gen is on x86 AMD cpu+gpu , next gen will likely be on a ryzen cpu+ amd gpu.
It's a LOT easier to keep backward compatibility and go to next gen ( higher Q textures and settings ).

PS2 had PS1 backward compatibility because early fat ps2s had a ps1 cpu in them as well, slim later versions did it via emulation.
PS3 had PS2 backward compatibility for the same reason - they had ps2 hardware inside them.

PS4 is basically an x86 custom PC, PS5 will be x86 so backwards compatibility from the get go is easily doable - unless sony don't want to because $$$.

It means any game in progress for ps4 can easily be released on ps5 though.

They'll hold it for the PS VII imo.

They'll hold it for the PS VII imo.

Which will be released episodically.

If Sony add backwards compat for the PS5 + keep all the great exclusives going that they've had for the PS4, they'll fucking destroy Microsoft again.

I heard the Pros are noisy as fuck. Anyone think there's a PS4 Pro Slim on the horizon?

 

[Moriath]

I dont notice the npise from my pro. But i am not overly sensitive to the noise i just up the volume of the game

I've only heard mine get noisey after playing it for like 8+ hours straight.

I think backwards is going to get pushed into your PSN subscription. Scan the library from PS4 then move it over on a "its in your sub" basis. Help Lay the groundwork for subscription based gaming
