The PS4 isn't backwards but it has this thing called Gaikai that will be coming out sometime after the PS4 launches. It will let you buy and play many games that are current gen and last gen and the generation before, so if you want to buy some games when that comes out then you'll be able to.

Edit: Oh, it's an online thing so the games you buy will be digital.

You know, it really would behoove Microsoft to point out that the PS4's Gaikai service sounds a lot like what they're doing for their current-gen titles, and yet Microsoft are the ones getting all the bad press for it, while Sony is escaping scot-free. Sure, Sony's not doing it for current-gen games (yet) but the principle is the same. Even if you own a physical copy of, say, a PS2 game that's also on Gaikai, you'll need to pay for the game again. And once again you'll have a license rather than the game itself.

Oh well. Sony just has way better PR at this point. I'm not complaining, it's been fun so far to watch Microsoft bumble through this whole thing like morons.

Wow, that's right up my alley. Thanks bro!! Do you know if it's coming to PS4?

Looks like we've got different tastes. For me, the gameplay is all-important and story is a secondary concern at best, plus violence doesn't usually bother me. But as folks have been saying, the Uncharted games and Last of Us are probably pretty sure bets for games with good story and a cinematic quality. Someone had also mentioned Heavy Rain, that's the ultimate story-focused game.

Also, have you played Mass Effect? Hard to go wrong there. You can get all three games for $40. One cool thing about that series is that some decisions you make in one game actually carry over to the others.

Yeah man, I'm more drawn to a story driven game ... big fan of nice graphics & atmospheric worlds.. not a big fan of violence/gore...

Got lots to go on here, can't wait for PS4 to come out!!!

why don't you just go buy a ps3 right now and play the games everyone is talking about?
 
Well PS3 is currently about $200? But PS4 is only 5 months away and the minute PS4 comes out PS3 will be worth nothing.


So I'd rather save my money and wait for PS4...

Wait... You'd rather save money by spending $200 more? No wonder you think money doesn't grow on trees.


All the games you've been recommended are for the ps3 anyways? Why be excited for the ps4 to play ps3 games? Are there upcoming releases that you actually have your eye on?

Getting PS4 means I'm future proof though right? I can buy new games in the future to play. If I get PS3 wouldn't I just be stuck with old stock?

Tony mentioned Beyond: 2 souls, that he thinks will be released on both PS3 and PS4? Also hopefully Hard Rain, Last of Us, etc, will be available on Gaikai thingee magic.

if you've never owned a ps3, the "old stock" will last you years. plus the games will be 5-10$, as opposed to 60$+
 
Sold em with the Danze.

Still got some Zlotys left over that are just burning a hole in my wallet. Would love to get my hands on a couple

Fair call.

But I also want to be playing new games like 2k14, etc, etc, going forward.

And I can't afford to fork out $200 for PS3 and $400 for PS4, so I guess I'd have to pick PS4.
