This is also how Bluepoint's Ico/Sotc HD is running on the PS3 slim and how games like Virtua Fighter 4 Evo, God hand, Maximo, etc work on the Ps3 Slim. |

@richardiox
I'm not against PC gaming, and probably would still PC game, if I could buy the AA, AAA games as offline boxed products. -

Registered 14 years ago@vizzini What you've described are ports and are irrelevant to whether the PS4 can play PS3 discs. -
@Psiloc
No, that's rubbish. The backup image rips of my CD PS1 games I can use with the internally supplied Sony Ericsson Ps1 emulator in my Xperia Play phone proves otherwise. All they have done is port and enhance the emulator when moving it to each platform.
In the Ico/Sotc case they just replaced the textures and models re-engineered slightly with emulator settings for FOV, 3D. -

Registered 14 years agoHere's a practical lesson: create and post a video of you emulating a PS3 game on a PC. Feel free to use a PC that comfortably outspecs it. -

Registered 14 years agoIf you look carefully that one big right turn he does is affected by general stuttering rather than just latency.
Not that that's much better obviously but that one particular movement shouldn't be used to judge ping. -

Registered 8 years agoThe beta of this has gone live in the US and holy shit, they are taking the absolute piss with those rental prices!

$49.99 converts to just under £30. The Hut sells this game TO KEEP for £15! Let that sink in. -

Registered 14 years agoGonna see if the service is region locked.
But, looks like there's no free content at all to try? Not even a demo? Damnit. Also I tried the connection test, and it said my line isn't good enough. I can imagine that streaming from US servers would make the ping way too high for any game to be playable.
But the prices are terrible indeed. $4 for 4 hours of a single game? How can they say EA Access is not good value compared to this?

Registered 15 years agoJesus, those are seriously crazy prices. Sony are insane if they think anyone is going to pay that. In fact, isn't that MORE expensive than what it was before? Surely that can't be cheaper! -

Registered 16 years agoI've always thought PSN prices for games were taking the piss a bit. For new releases in particular it is always cheaper just to go in to a shop and buy a physical copy, and bar the very occasional and poorly featured sales prices remain fixed at those levels.
I thought with PS+ they were finally getting the idea of giving the consumer something worth something, but then they do this. Fucksakes sony, you're a bunch of idiots. -

The hourly rate needs to go and start from one day, 24 hour pass, and onwards to a week, a month and beyond. -

Exactly my thinking. Even if they just stuck some cheapo 1st party games up there to keep the prices down, that would really get people interested in it.
I guess the other way of doing it is anchoring expectations to be insanely expensive, and then when it launches officially do it at a slightly less insane price and dupe us in to thinking it represents value for money.

A beta like this is meant to get people pumped for the full release. Whether those prices are final or not, Sony are fucking this up. All anyone is talking about is how expensive it is. I wonder how many have signed up for EA Access on the back of this, they must be laughing with how good their service looks right now.

Why does a beta affect pricing of a subscription service? If anything it should be cheaper, although that'd never happen. -
Because it allows them to price things, see what peoples reactions are and say 'betalol' if the consumer loses their shit.
