When I said SSX I meant the series...Also no Steep didn't build on SSX, they play nothing alike. None of those action games build on Ninja Gaiden and none of those racing games play anything like Burnout your just naming random games in the same genre...you might as well have put Gran Turismo in the Burnout pile since your just putting random racing games in there.
Correct. How anyone can complain about old games being preserved so we can play them beggars belief. Keep making new games with beautiful graphics as they should. It’s why we have new consoles! But don’t forget about the past by burying classic games. I’d give anything to show my kids SSX Tricky and explain that although it doesn’t look as good as games of today, that means fuck all when it’s so fun to play.
That I will wholeheartedly agree with. But what does a stupid subscription service have to do with backward compatibility and game preservation?
subscriber didnt own the game, cant play if didnt pay the subs. what happened when the game not exist/get pulled from the services, or the services itself shutdown? nobody might have the copy and it could lost forever.
You literally said
Either you don’t understand me or we are talking about different things. Ok there it is people! Apple is also a video game company too because in the 1980 apple II was the to go platform for pc games
Uuuh...you realize sony is doing the same thing with ps now right? At least microsoft gives you the option to buy the old games and play them locally without gamepass. Something sony cant be assed to do for their ps3 library. But this is where we are i guess. You have to defend your favorite plastic box maker right? And before you try to turn that back around on me, i have given, and will continue to give microsoft shit for their embarrassing lack of big exclusive games for their brand new consoles. What happened with halo infinite is fucking embarassing.
Back compatibility has nothing to do with rerelease or remaster. Its when I can put in my Witcher 2 disc into my series x and able to play the game without any further purchase (added 4k patch for free notwithstanding). Its when my digital Mass Effect trilogy that I bought on the ms store in 2013 able to run on the series x without any further purchase. In this one specific way, microsoft is so far ahead of the rest. Makes sense since pc has been able to do it since forever.
Like I keep saying, it is easy when you have an os and a console that runs on x86 and the other companies didn’t had any of it on past generations!
I'll add the Darkness duology which the first game was never released on pc. The whole of the splinter cell series with free 4k patch for each one. Alan Wake to complete the Remedy universe on xbox. And the crown jewel, 4k Red Dead Redemption 1.
Oh please, the genius savant Cerny coudnt have devise a way for backcomp and integrate the ps3 psn store disaster into ps5 but able to architect a less powerful machine (on paper) that trades blows with a 12 tf machine. Sony just wasnt interested in giving funding for backcomp tech. Clear as day with what they are doing since last year amputating the ps3 store from the website.
Ohhhh they mean even multi platform games too! Beg my pardon.
Sure!!! Lol let’s pretend we are tech genius who are involved in developing hardware and software...
That’s a pathetic list
No problem.
They are building an ecosystem. So an Xbox user from two years ago will still be an Xbox user in five years time. The "it's because they have no games" mantra, though it obviously holds some truth, is an incredibly narrow minded, and given the way all media consumption seems to be heading, ignorant point of view to hold.

"A random forum poster with crazy hot takes blames nostalgia to prove filet mignon tastes the same as a $1 ribeye from the dollar tree."
why you too quick jump to console warring attack?
Just because it doesn’t hold your hand and throw markers on the field every 5 seconds and there aren’t a million YouTube videos about it doesn’t make it bad.
I have to point out that in this instance personal opinions for games are completely irrelevant because the goal is to preserve them.
