By Zabojnik Go To PostDon't buy mini old systems. Stop replaying old games. Live in the present. #adThis is weird coming from the dude who loves stuff like Pillars of Eternity and games like it which are essentially dinosaurs.
He obviously means old console games, which are simplistic and designed for children or people with child-like minds. Unlike the complex and manly CRPGs Zabo plays.

I'd buy a thousand Gizmondo Classics before giving another penny to that fucking scam.

By Laboured Go To PostNaw you probably just pay for PSN.never again will I pay for the privilege
I just about get my money's worth out of PS+
Touch and go though, the discounts come with a similar problem to what I have with Steam discounts, they happen so often that I either wait for them to go cheaper even if they're like 75% off, or wait for them to be a free monthly game, and end up hardly ever actually taking advantage of them
Kentucky Route Zero has been on my wishlist for about 3 years now, regularly at about £5. But what if it costs £3 when I actually want to play it? What then?

By Flutter Go To PostDigital though :/
It's the remastered version too. Xbox owners get Ace Combat 6 BC.
I cancelled my PS+ last year and subbed to HumbleMonthly as a supplement. I feel I get better value out of the latter, although only sporadically. Some months are dreadful, then there’s other months where they give away something like Destiny 2 and I feel validated in my choice despite only playing 5~ hours of it
i have been subbed to PS+ for exactly one month while owning a ps4 for about 3 years. well i guess two months, i think it came with a trial as well. miss me with that shitty online service.
By rodeoclown Go To PostClassic consoles are for marks. Backwards compatibility should just be the standard.I find it completely baffling that Microsoft are the only company pushing for backwards compatibility in the market currently, despite having the slimmest line up of classic first party titles.

it's not despite, it's because of it.
i mean nintendo did usually pretty well in terms of BC of their physical releases (VC is another story), always supporting one generation back unless it's not really possible like it is now. i have no doubt that switch 2 will play switch 1 titles.
Everything from Ninendo's NESFlix to mini retro consoles deserve to die in the same anti-consumerist fire. Proper BC and game ownership or GTFO.

That’s the whole point. Who the hell is shelling out dollars for Forza 3 remastered?
By HasphatsAnts Go To PostThat’s the whole point. Who the hell is shelling out dollars for Forza 3 remastered?exactly.
By HasphatsAnts Go To PostThat’s the whole point. Who the hell is shelling out dollars for Forza 3 remastered?Have you seen the original Forza Horizon with the X enhancements, though?
They surely could've put together some Gears of War remaster package or a Fable collection, but all those games are just back compat instead, with some of them getting X enhanced for free. Charging people again for games they already own is lame.
Going back to the original Xbox for the program helps them, though, since the Xbox had weird, defacto exclusives in the form of PC ports like Knights of the Old Republic. And their first party lineup in those days was more diverse and more interesting, but what do I know. (Bring back MechAssault, you fucks.)
If MS word it like it does here they will encounter problems with our version of the FTC. Is it the same with the UK?
By NinjaFridge Go To PostSome neck on horse to talk shit about other people wasting money
I was talking about bad practice from platform holders. But you're right I have wasted hundreds of pounds more on console gaming this gen. alone than I have on my PC.
I love the mini consoles. I am part of the problem.
I was actually disappointed there hasn't been an announcement for a N64 or a GBC one this year

You guys are definitely underestimating nostalgia for these mini consoles. I bet half the people who bought them don't even know what an emulator is and the other half don't care
By alt sy Go To PostYou guys are definitely underestimating nostalgia for these mini consoles. I bet half the people who bought them don't even know what an emulator is and the other half don't careI am not underestimating it. I know how well the NES mini did. It's just anti-consumer and shows no respect for your purchases.
Stuff like this makes me wonder why people are so totally sure the PS5 is going to have backwards compatibility. They've had a working PS2 emulator for the PS4 for years and don't make it a system level feature because they'd rather sell you old games again. Rather than let you play your PSX games you already own (or bought on the PS3 PSN), please buy this $100 box for a collection of 20 curated one, thanks.
The best thing about retro gaming was no "beta" bullshit and no patches.
Developers had to make sure their shit was good or end up in a land dump.
Games were amazing feats of engineering back then.
PS2 truly marked the end of a great era.

Anti consumer? Yep, but that's almost expected.

psy saying something true.
I dont think making the PS Classic is anti-consumer. It's what people have asked for.
No BC for PSOne or PS2 games though? Yeah, there's a point.

By Flutter Go To PostI dont think making the PS Classic is anti-consumer. It's what people have asked for.The PS4 having a fully functioning ps1&2 emulator yet the old way to play those games is through buying them on the store while or buying a mini console with a handful of games is anti consumer .
No BC for PSOne or PS2 games though? Yeah, there's a point.
I'd love to play my copy of Chrono Cross again only to realize 5 minutes in that turn based RPGs are dogshit again.
By Hitch Go To PostHuhGTA online launched post release and was a fucking mess.
Did RDR online or gtav online launch after release?
Fuck these retro mini consoles. FF VII is on it? They're already remaking that too.
PS1 graphics are still offensive to the eyes, need another 10 years before nostalgia makes them cute
Let the past die etc etc
