So I found this. Apparently the dev behind DWVR is looking to patch the game to make it work on PS5. That means there is still hope for Joe's Diner.

PS4 Games that aren't Backward Compatible on PS5 May Work Later - ThisGenGaming

If you missed the news yesterday Sony announced that a total of ten PlayStation 4 games won’t be backward compatible on the PlayStation 5. If you were wishing to play any of those ten games on your new system though don’t give up hope quite yet. The developer who made DWVR, which is one of the...

I don't know about this game, but I've been milfly dissappointed that Robinson : the journey won' t be playable on PS5. I never gone very far playing It on PS4 because the resolution was so low and the pop up so Big to male me feel Dizzy, and I was hoping that PS5 + SSD would somehow lessen the problem.

From here I only know Robinson, Shadow Complex and Hitman Go. Would be nice if they patch them to make them PS5 compatible.

Shadow Complex is an incredible game. I love it!

Not that I'm super upset that it can't be played on the PS5, but it would be nice.

Shadow Complex, mate.

The way Sony is dealing with BC is just fucking baffling.

The way Sony is dealing with BC is just fucking baffling.

in what way?

In what way? You have only handful of games that won't work for one reason or another. Everything else will be fine.

Same question...I don't really know. I think at this point it is a question of nonsensical discussion.

No PS1 BC,
No PS2 BC,
No PS3 BC,
Paid enhancements,
Some games are even charged again to have improvements (Eg.: SpiderMan).

All in all it’s just a package of bad stuff, not only a handful of incompatible PS4 games.

Yes some games with enhancements beyond basic backcompatibility have to be paid.
Because that caused some form of work and companys like to make money.
In that regard MS seems to have the upper hand due to automatic build in enhancements.

All in all it’s just a package of bad stuff, not only a handful of incompatible PS4 games.

"Bad stuff" is relative. It might not be as sophisticated as the MS apporach but still an improvement from older Sony gens.

No BC with previous gens was a given, they could easily emulate PS1 and 2 on PS4 but they didn't for... some reason. PS3 would probably work on PS5 but... but I doubt it will be all games, RPCS3 shows how fucking heavy PS3 emulation is.

Xbox Series only has full BC with Xbox One, for Xbox 360:

There are 577 games that have been made backward compatible out of 2083 that have been released for Xbox 360.

and Xbox 1

There are currently 41 on this list out of 1001 released for the Xbox.

I can't defend paid enhancements

[Tmack]

Seriously?

As a casual gamer all i need to know is that i`ll get some great ps4 titles that i haven`t played yet for free on launch date. That`s all that matters about bc for me.

Sony strategy is brilliant.

Yeah, who the fuck wants to play their entire PS4 library on a PS5. What are they thinking???

 

[Clear]

QA'ing all ~10,000 titles published on Playstation platforms since 1994 would be an immense task, taking literally years to accomplish!

Even so, PS3 launched with PS1 (and initially PS2) emulation at zero cost. No fee to play discs you already own.

Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One

Oh boy, wasn't that game so bad it was removed from the store and the devs refunded people who bought it? A shame as I really liked Afro Samurai on the X360.

exactly 2 hands, 10 fingers=10 games

I know. More than 4000 games and only 10 unplayable!

This is the only game I can care about in that list. At least all other VR games seem to work.

 

[Clear]

Because it literally contained the key components of those systems, it wasn't emulating much as it was a near complete hardware solution. The PS4/PS5 would need to fully emulate every aspect via software, which of course opens up a whole can of worms regarding compatibility and accuracy.

 

[TLZ]

No PS1 BC,
No PS2 BC,

I agree with this part. I don't get this.
