PS4 to NOT be compatible with DS3

Post by Minimur12 » Thu Feb 21, 2013 10:52 pm

So an article on IGN reads how on a discussion with the bossman Shuhei Yoshida,
it was stated that the PS3's longlasting controller, will NOT be compatible with their next gen console.... but oddly enough, the PS move controllers will be compatible with it.
To me, this doesn't come as a shock. Bear in mind that the PS4 isn't backwards compatible with the PS3 and that the new controller has alot more technology on it, although there was no mention on the biometric sensors of heartbeat monitors, and knowing that all consoles usually come with just the one controller, you'll most likely have to purchase another one.... and I'm guessing that they wont be cheap.
When was the last time anything with a touchpad was cheap??
But if your really that stressed about the backwards compatibility, don't worry, you can still use it ! (and remember Gaikai will be supplying PS3 games anyway).

Move is useable with the DS4, with a new camera, which has 2 1200x800 cameras with an 85degree field of view, and for some reason, 4 microphones :?

The move controllers being compatible was showcased at the conference by a well known developers known as Media Molecule behind games such as Litle Big Planet 1 & 2 and also new Vita game - tearaway
I think the reason they made the old move controllers compatible to reassure the consumer that a part of the PS3 will be useable with their new console, so something is brought over.
Ps2 had ps1 emulation, PS3 had PS2 and PS1 emulation (later to be just ps1) and PS4 would have..... erm...... a type of controller that 40% on consumers have
( i wouldnt put ps2/ps1 emulation out of the question though)
If you have a PS3 and are *** at this decision,leave your opinions down below.


Personally I think the controller should've looked like this;

incorrect, all PS3's have PS2 compatibility, even later ones, the difference is the range of compatibility

yes, PSN bought games, that doesn't change the fact that it's still compatible, little compatibility: yes, but still compatible (the vita is not compatible with UMDs, yet it still emulates PSP games from PSN)

No one get disappointed, did you see the features the DS4 has? These cannot work on a DS3. Same as DS2 != PS3.

DS1 didn't have button pressure, yet the PS2 could still use them, oh and you CAN use a DS2 on PS3, there are converters around and they do a good job, the problem is sony wants to pay more, and then more, and even more, and then much more, and even morer <-- invented word
