Nintendo announced that they would make an announcement this fiscal year on Switch 2.

But their June N.Direct would not feature it, having back half of 2024 switch games.

I traded in a bunch of old games for a bunch of old games (360)

Evil Within

PREY

Dead Island

FFXIII

Watchdogs

The Adventures of Tintin

I was also looking at cheap PS4 games. Regarding PS4, is there anything I should know about different versions? Are they all backwards compatible? We're there any inherent design flaws with particular versions?

What HDD size is good to get etc.

Didn't it have a really short controller charge cable?

I'm most surprised about Tango Gameworks.  I guess the figured there was little point in keeping the joint open without Shinji Mikami.  Then again, in a recent interview he stated he didn't have that much freedom, so maybe he wasn't instrumental to the studio anyway.

Kind of bummed about Tango Gameworks as I did very much enjoy their games. Shinji Makami had left though so not sure how things would have fared though regardless.

Furakawa just said "Switch Next model is the appropriate way to describe it"

When asked if the next gen console was a brand new console or something else.

That is a shame about Tango. I wonder if we'll ever see the continuation of the Evil Within saga now.

That's also a reminder that one of these days I'll have to play ghostwire Tokyo. Assuming I have a console to play it on.

I'd love if the official name was Switch Next Model.

Hey, I just learned the PS4 doesn't play PS3 games sad

Can you buy ps3 digital games that will work on ps4?

Only the ones that have been remastered for PS4/PS5.

I think the only reason PS5 is backwards compatible with PS4 is because Xbox Series did it first.

It might have changed with the PS5, but as far as the PS4 goes you could only stream PS3 games through PlayStation Plus. And honestly, they never streamed well.

I forgot about their streaming service. It was terrible on PS4; never bothered to try it on PS5.

Yeah. Sony should have been held in detention and made to make the PS3 library work on the PS4. It is so shoddy that the best they could come up with was... uh we have a server farm of PS3's you can stream from.... No fuck you. You made the PS3 the technical abomination it was, now FIX IT.

I love the PS3's library, it really is one of my most favorite generations, which is why I'd like to see better PS3 support.

I think Sony has also discovered that there might be more money to be made from remasters and compilations rather than trying to fix the architecture so that those games play natively. So I'm afraid most of our original PS3 games are going to be locked to our PS3 forever.

"Ex-Blizzard boss says Phil Spencer will be ‘hurting as much as anyone else’ over Xbox studio closures"

LOL I'm sure he's losing sleep over it.
