it's a great system with a lot of good games, most of which have a really long shelf-life
but if none of those games appeal to your tastes well then
get something else
Man I wish I could
PS4 has nothing I want until Watch Dogs comes out, and the only reason I'll ever get a WiiU is whenever the next console Zelda game comes out
This isn't me, like, demanding you fix this for me but I'm just saying, now is not a good time for video games for me
and with them, all forms of new media such as homestuck
bury our sins so that our children may be free
Nah. All media should be preserved if possible. Even if it's not good (which is hella subjective). It's how we learn and remember where we've come from, the mistakes we've made (whether societal mistakes or mistakes in the art form itself), and ways to improve on them and ourselves.

This isn't me, like, demanding you fix this for me but I'm just saying, now is not a good time for video games for me
That's what I'm gonna have to do, which is too bad because I'm excited about the some of the new systems and tech and uses thereof, but the actual applications thereof leave me cold
As just a "it'd sure be cool if they did this" thing, yeah, that's fine.
I just want to see people drop forever the idea that just because something was on previous hardware, it should be on new hardware, with regards to legacy support. At some point it really just needs to be let go. I'm not saying anyone here is being rabid about it or anything else, mind. Just saying.
There are a plethora of ways to go about playing old software which don't actively require keeping developers from doing something else.
yeah but all of those ways involve either a) breaking the law, b) buying an old console, and/or c) keeping a console plugged in and taking up shelf space, which in my case is at a premium
consolidating (most of) my shit into a single box is way more convenient for me, and relatively speaking easy to do for older games, and while i get why it wouldn't be a console producer's first priority it's absolutely something i want to see addressed in the future
and i don't really think that's all that silly of me?
Wanting something isn't ever silly
Heck I want it too
But with a situation like this where it becomes increasingly, as the years go by, absurd to expect out of every new platform, I kinda also just want people to drop it.

Nah I've already played everything I have any interest in, barring a couple of DLC packs I'm waiting on (Bioshock, Batman, AC4)

i don't think it's that absurd though
i mean
i can see dropping it as a default feature, and i can even see dropping it as a free feature
but again
as computers get more powerful, emulating old-ass weaker computers gets easier
expecting them to support backwards compatibility for old generations in some capacity or another just doesn't strike me as unreasonable

it gets easier to emulate the older generations sure, but when something new comes out, the previous thing is still gonna be new enough to make it labor/cost prohibitive.

bury our sins so that our children may be free
Even the mighty Homestuck began with a single man. That one man's desires grew huge, bloated; absorbed technology; began to manipulate the economy. We realized too late that we had created a beast. We had helped turn zero fantrolls into hundreds of thousands of fantrolls. His sin... was ours. And for that reason, I'm taking it upon myself to send Hussie... back to nothing.

oh yeah, i totally agree
i completely get why ps3/xbox 360 BC isn't gonna be a thing this gen, or if it is it's gonna be through some weird workaround like sony's gaikai thing
i'm talkin' about ps1 and 2, which sony has already emulated once on a weaker system

Only in the sense that more powerful computers can brute-force emulation. You wouldn't exactly call it easy. It just goes from "impossible" to "possible" at some point.
Any more than game visual novels in general tend to be aggressively japanese
which to be fair is pretty damn aggressive
i don't know if it's "japanese" or "english that has been translated from japanese"
but at least to me, the writing in a lot of japanese games tends to have some kind of low-level commonality to it
Yeah, it's almost never super great.
I feel confident it's the translation aspect though, because there are absolutely good visual novels out there with good writing, even if the prose can be rather... lacking.
As just a "it'd sure be cool if they did this" thing, yeah, that's fine.

I think the appeal of being able to get what's basically a free influx of cash by re releasing an old, hard to find/play game will keep that kind of thing going for a while. The trick is how predatory the pricing will be. Like, Konami could port Suikoden 2 to the PSN and charge $50 for it and it would still technically be a good deal, considering what that game sells for now.
That also why @rfilyaw it was a good idea picking up MP trilogy for $40. Even if you never play that thing, you're going to be able to flip it for a tidy profit down the road.

yeah i'm not even saying from a quality perspective
there's just like
weird stylistic quirks that pop up, and depending on the localization, a lot of cultural artifacts that i have no idea how to parse
like the most basic example would be the old standby of "[Phrase]." "[Phrase], eh?"
is the PS1 backwards compatibility on the PS3 actual emulation or is it a legacy of the weird fact that the PS2 used a PS1 processor as it's sound chip.

what if we don't preserve them
what if we leave video games to die, forgotten
and with them, all forms of new media such as homestuck
bury our sins so that our children may be free
i'm gonna get it one way or the other
i'm just debating whether i should return killzone to pay for it
especially because the same Reasons have lead to me also having an extra DS4

Probably not
I just think it kinda blows that I really want to play Zelda and Pokemon but have basically no other reason to buy the damn thing
it is
not something i would have bought for myself
but i have it now so

Nah. All media should be preserved if possible. Even if it's not good (which is hella subjective). It's how we learn and remember where we've come from, the mistakes we've made (whether societal mistakes or mistakes in the art form itself), and ways to improve on them and ourselves.

mario & luigi superstar something
baaaaackloooooooooog
Certainly isn't a reason I'd buy a PS4, but if it came with I'd play it a bit.

from what I could tell it was the plundering, endless boredom.
visual novels that are aggressively japanese do not seem like grey ghost's thing
and if you dislike both mario and jrpgs then i don't know what draw mario and luigi games hold for you
