Truly, Shenmue’s greatest addition to the game industry was being a young man on the docks looking for sailors.

I was absolutely shocked to see the Xbone emulating 360 games, so sometimes engineers can pull off small miracles – but they can only do that up to a point. The PS3 is a whole other kettle of fish. There is just no way that Sony engineers can program the PS4 CPU to emulate another CPU that is more powerful than it is. If Shuhei can pull that off then he’s another step closer to sainthood.

@SN: Not powerful enough to emulate that by a long way, certainly. Would be surprised to see it on the PS5, honestly.

Exactly what Lusipurr said.

Also, there is no way that the PS4 will ever play PS3 discs.

@Blitzmage: It’s not about physical PS2 games; it’s about digital purchases on PSN carrying across systems.

It is not acceptable to tout “PS2 compatibility!” and then make PS3 owners rebuy their PS2 classic purchases for PS4.

I could see them shutting down PSNow in favor of backwards compatibility with disc-based PS3 games but I don’t see them doing the same for PS2. It’s all about money. They don’t make money on physical PS2 games anymore.

All hail 2016!

The power of Sony as generation leader is bearing fruit, as it did during the glory days of the PS1 and PS2.

Long live JRPGs. Long live Sony.

But seriously they need to shut off their shitty PSNow service and stop making people re-buy PS2 classics on PS4.

You’re right! I totally forgot about SMT X Fire Emblem coming out next year. There’s definitely going to be a large variety of JRPGS coming out next year, which is always a good thing.

SMT X Fire Emblem will also release in 2016 if you have a Wii U [it looks quite a bit like a bubblegum-flavoured Persona game]. 2016 is going to be an amazing year for JRPGs.

@SiliconNooB Thanks! I just got into Persona 4 this year and although I took a couple breaks in-between long game sessions I’m glad I finished it as soon as I did with Persona 5 (hopefully) coming soon in 2016.

@Lusipurr Yes, SATIRE, that’s what happened here…

Ah, this must be one of those SATIRE articles. Excellent work! Ha! Ha!

Persona 4 is a fantastic game, and Lusipurr can never hear it said too many times. He’s going to love your editorial this week, Adeki. Good job! :D
