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.
