Sony: "We don't do that here."
Early
Hi.
Yes
I remember a quote from one of the giants of the gaming industry the late great Satoru Iwata, he once talked about how only making epic scale retail games is a single minded approach to the gaming industry & he had Nintendo start reselling every old game in its catalogue with the first console he was in charge of with the Wii.
hi
Glad that this conversation continues to happen, especially in light of Sony's anticonsumer move, and to a lesser extent, Nintendo's skulduggery with limiting the All Stars' availability
The most obvious reason is for those wanting to start a franchise they have been interested in, like God of War, you want to play all the games in order of release and you can’t do that because Sony isn’t preserving Games that well.

Predator concrete jungle was a absolute banger of a videogame.
Nothing should be abandonware
The best way to play ps3 games is with a ps4 controller
I keep all my consoles, heck I still have my GameCube and PS1 with a screen
Maximo!!!! is a game that I don't want to lose PS ghost and goblins
The final argument is to monetize the nostalgia and the desire to play old games… as long as that's a profitable option, system backwards compatibility is not realistic… it makes much more sense to create a subscription service to sell that content (subscription allows you to reap benefits from a larger library, instead of trying to sell individual purchases).
It's like all history. Preserve it, or you're doomed to repeat it.
How much would it cost Sony to move all those games to be able to download onto the PS5 or increase their PS Now titles.
Emulators and Roms baby
Predator: Concrete Jungle is the only good Predator game, and is a great game that needs a remaster/sequel/backwards compatibility/whatever.
The constant ads are ruining the viewer experience
If you buy a PS3 and are capable, take my advice and find a disassembly guide to clean it out and replace the thermal paste on both processors. I bought one secondhand a year ago that was redlining on temps, and after blowing it out and applying kryonaut paste, it’s perfectly fine.
How long before they take down ps4 games? That's the next on the chopping block.
It was awesome on the title screen with the Predator standing on the building with the current skin you unlocked. Great game.
I loved that pov rocket, I'd have three friends playing with me and that thing pissed everyone off.
The Thing was a really great game but I struggled with resources and the trust system. I was near the end and saved with no health, making the end boss fight impossible. Seems like it was just yesterday 🙁
I got all mine too. The only consule I had that stopped working was my ps2. But it's cool I got the fat og ps3.
Just toss Legends of Dragoon on PS Now. No need to remaster anything. Just.
Do.
It.
I’m thankful to have the official theatrical original trilogy of Star Wars on dvd
I’d instantly buy Predator concrete jungle just like Republic commando. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
WhatSonyGaming throwing hate to a day one game pass game I'm not surprised at all
I regret selling every single game, system, accessory I ever sold.
Because emulation really isn't a replacement for sitting there with that system and controller.
The worst part is moving from tube tvs to HDTVs and beyond.
Even with a Retrotink, it's not better than just having my N64 hooked up to a tube tv, even with the screen not being aligned.
Once that tv is gone, that's it…..why I got the Retrotink, it's better than nothing :p
Predator concrete jungle, NOW that’s a game that needs a remake.
If they made a video announcing this closure and then said that most of the games available on the PSN store for PS3/PSP/Vita were being uploaded to PSnow, all we needed was little sugar to make the medicine go down.
I say most because they're not going to put up the PSP version of Loco Roco when we've got a PS4 HD version.
And lapsed licenses, SotN won't be up because of the Castlevania collection, ect.
But a man could dream, maybe it will still happen.
Rebrand PSnow as Playstation Legacy, dedicated to games of old, including PS4 ports like Shadow of the Colossus and Crash, Spryo.
We get Sony doesn't want to give new PS5 games in a serves like this, so don't.
And make it possible to download EVERYTHING, PS3 games included. Load up with PS2 and PS1 games.
It would do gangbusters.
