It's because the new PS4 has a different type of CPU than the PS3. That means that coding games is very different so games need to be translated somehow to work. They have 3 options. 1) Hardware emulation, where they put a PS3 processor in the PS4 which will probably make the PS4...

1) 3DS is outselling Vita because the vita has expensive and has a relatively small library of games. Also, Vita can play PSP games as long as they were bought on the PSN, so it is backwards compatible. 2) What was Sony's handheld system before the PSP came out? You can't make backwards...

The early PS3's were backwards compatible because they had PS2 parts in them. There were two backwards compatable model types. Ones that just put in a full ps2 into the ps3 for perfect emulation, and ones that only put in a part of the ps2 and had emulation that was a bit buggy. They were the...

About the PS2 games fading into history thing, they won't. The PC still has a lot of emulators and as long as games are available somewhere, they can be played. I'm assuming you're talking about so far into the future that the PS2 library becomes public domain. At that point even a bad PC should...

Actually massive things have changed. The basic way the new PS4 works is far different from the PS3. The PS3 tried some experimental new technology that was the reason why developers hated to code for it. The new ps4 uses a more standard system. The only way they could get ps3 emulation on the...

It's not a screen, it's a touch pad. Like laptops have. It'll probably be used to give one or two extra buttons or maybe some mouse functionality. I never noticed any of those problems myself. Maybe it's because i have big hands. My biggest problem is with the shape.

Weren't the ps3 triggers horrible because they bent down instead of up making it easy for your finger to slip off? The triggers on this one bend up so that doesn't look like a problem anymore.

I have no idea how much putting a ps3 chip in the ps4 would cost, but i imagine it would be very expensive. Isn't sony using a coding system that's not a nightmare for developers to design this time? I imagine adding hardware that lets you play ps3 games will be very expensive. I already have a...

I wouldn't because i'm poor and i rent most of my games. Blocking used games pretty much means blocking rentals too, so i would be pretty screwed. Along with the entire company i rent my games from. I buy games very rarely, and when i do i'm sure i'm going to like them, so i always buy new...

Wasn't Overstrike changed because of focus groups? From what i found so far they changed it because some 12 year olds in their focus groups thought it was too kiddy. Besides, plenty of games are popular without being gritty. Borderlands, TF2, pokemon, every single Nintendo game, most mobile...

Just what do people expect from a controller? It's a controller. All it needs to do is provide buttons and be comfortable. I don't like the motion controls (which are pretty much a gimmick at this point), but the touch pad could be used for extra buttons. The headphone jack is a nice feature too.

So you're saying that if someone says anything about you that you do not like, it is a violation of your rights? Where in the constitution does it say that being criticized is infringing on your rights? You know what's actually a right though? Freedom of expression, and if that guy can't express...

But then again they are picking out thermal images, and this is the LAPD we're talking about. The same people who managed to confuse two hispanic women and a white guy as a 6'2 bald black man. I feel sorry for anyone taking a hike in the mountains.

We got a little bit of snow a day ago here in new jersey, but not that much. Shoveling off the car was annoying but no biggie. Didn't even stop me from going to my classes.
