LG. I still have a cheap perfectly working 2009 Panasonic 720p plasma, but it looks terrible now, raises the electric bill by $5 per month and also the temp in the room by 5 degrees. I guess these companies figure if you have a lot of $ to spend on a TV, you have enough $ to replace it again sooner than necessary.
Awhile ago, like 4 years ago, I bought a 70” Visio 4K TV new from Best Buy. It lasted a year

That's beyind terrible. Mine lasted about 3 years on average. Both of the last 2 that failed early were both over $2000. $700 is my limit now.
I think it would make a lot of sense. Playstation first party games have been very good, but have been limited in terms of multiplayer. This could definitely help fill that gap.
Are you referring to me? LolI knew he was young.
I'm not hiding my identity, but if you see me as a youngling I guess that's cool.
To be fair, it is a bit different. Those BC implementations didn't improve the games in anyway. Well I guess PS2 had a smoothing festure.
I agree that Microsoft deserves lots of praise for how they handled BC but I just want to know where all these people on this forum were when the gen started and only Nintendo was doing it.
but wasn’t the ps2 the first of the big three to do it in a home console?
i could see people getting upset at Sony with lack of bc with the vita, go and psp
Nintendo has done it with their previous handheld consoles too?
MS's improving BC is great but it also doesn't do it for every game (on current platforms, sometimes they look worse) and it's really just an evolution of things that started in the past. They deserve praise for being committed to it though there is no doubt about that. I'm sure some of the reason certain games look worse is because they were sub 720p and they are now being played on 4K screens but before the Witcher 2 got the 4K love it looked like a blurry mess and wasn't worth playing which was crazy because it was one of the most impressive looking games the 360 gen ever had.
Best Buy email notification for reservations
The OG FAT PS3 was the only legit console with true BC on 99% of PS1 / PS2 (2 generations) games day 1.
I don't think Nintendo has ever done two generations of BC games.
GBA -> GB
DS-> GBA
3DS -> DS
Wii -> GC
Wii U -> Wii
Switch -> None
Microsoft deserves no praise whatsoever on how they handled BC. They're the reason why majority of their userbase think the Xbox One can play all Xbox 360 and Xbox games when in fact only a selective amount works on it.

Wow so we're just pulling crap out our ass now?
I think it's pretty neat you can put in a 360 disc (games bought digitally automatically appear in your games list on XB1) and you can still find a game online with some games (MW2, L4D2 etc), plus an easy Google search reveals a list of games compatible, I'm pretty sure they were constantly updating a while ago and letting the community know too.
^^^i like how MS has handled BC and I like the FC enhancements.
Sony's approach is a disappointment, especially if you consider it's vast library.

I bet it won't be supported simply because they want devs to use the DS5 features. Sucks tho. I like the idea of not having to buy new peripherals when my current ones work perfectly well (s*** internal battery not withstanding).
That said, I DO like a good rumble feature and I have respect for Sony still trying to add features to controllers- Unlike MS who should at the very least get in on having an internal accelerometer. I also really like the idea of trigger resistance. Probably death on batteries though, and I'm really afraid of what it will cost.
Agree, but I wouldn't call it resistance- more the sensation of it through varying degrees of vibration. It IS very effective when used correctly. I swear I could feel the whole car and road conditions in Forza 6. They dumbed it way down in Forza 7 for some reason.
Lmao it's true. You just don't how much I come across gamers thinking their Xbox One can play all 360 and original Xbox games. I just saw "Jinca" corrected someone at this forum letting him/her that it doesn't do that.
MS bc is half-assed. Begging for a game to have it BC and then knowing BC games required internet so you can download the neccesary data to be able to play it lol. That's extremely poor design by MS and better not be the same in Xbox Series X. I want all BC games to work day 1 like the fist gen PS3 was.
Also have you try playing Silent Hill HD Collection on the Xbox One. It's on the BC list but the game suffers major performance issues and looks way worser than the PS2 version. Ive been waiting like years for the game to receive with any updates to get it fixed.
