Sometime in the (hopefully) not too distant future Sony will be launching Playstation Now, its cloud service
that will let you stream select PS3 games to your
Playstation 4. But what about more comprehensive
backwards compatability? Well,
that might be coming too.
According to a tipster The Escapist swears is reliable, Playstation and
Playstation 2 backwards compatibility
may be coming to the PS4 in the form of a
software upgrade sometime this year. That would be pretty huge
backwards
compatibility usually only covers a single previous generation, but if this is
true, almost every—
Playstation game ever could be playable via a single machine.
It would certainly make the trickle of Virtual
Console games coming from
Nintendo look like a joke.
In semi-related news, rumors are also flying that a polished up, next-gen version of The Last
of Us may be
coming to the PS4 this summer. Hmmm, all this focus on
bringing old games to the PS4 — could this have
something to do with the fact
that new PS4 releases are going to be pretty thin on the ground for the next
year?
Ah well, if the backwards compatibility thing turns out to be real, I’m
rushing to the store to buy a PS4 that
very day.
