Not buying any more pre-PS4 digital content til confirmed they will work on PS5. they already don't work on PS4. no reason a PS1 game should not work on a PS4.

Agree with you 100% there. I would actually buy most of the above games if it were only compatible with the PS4 and/or PS5. Sony got complacent winning the console wars with the PS4. Nintendo and Microsoft have been doing an excellent job with backwards compatibility.

Yeah if the PS5 is due out this year, why can't they just confirm it already? I would buy if it was true.

I have games I bought for PS3 that I would assume are locked to my PS ID so I'm hoping they will be made playable again once I get my PS5.

I don't think PS3 games will be playable as that's notoriously difficult to emulate but I see every other PlayStation home console playable on the PS5.

Because they only get one chance to get the messaging right. Look at the fail on Microsoft for initial XBox One release. They never really recovered, and Xbox One X is superior hardware to PS4 Pro in some regards but still too little too late this generation.

If they give PS3 compatibility on PS5, I'll be asking PlayStation to take my money.

yup.. especially since these are all just emulated games. There are homebrew emulators that do can boot these things on various devices. They are always about milking their customers, but ever since they have dominated on PS4, they really do. They clearly need to look back why they lost the Xbox 360 / PS3 wars, and remember the tides can change pretty quickly.

Next generation consoles on the way... if speculation that PS5 will cost $500, they are going to be off to a bad start, as Xbox Series X will likely be lower in price. Xbox has a lackluster current gen line up, but that could be changing since they are gobbling up all those game dev studios. Time will tell. Game Pass was IMO, an effort to keep people away from the superior PS4 exclusive lineup, and within the confines of the xbox community, but most the xbox gamepass are either pretty old games that were well reviewed at release, or so-so games that aren't that old, or, just indie games that they are able to probably license for not a lot of money. All just my 2 cents here. Stepping down from the SD soap box now.

Sony seems pretty good about supporting it's digital library so I'm thinking they'll support these games on PS5. I'm salty about Nintendo killing off the Wii eShop a year or two ago with no way to access your old digital purchases. Sony did the same with PSP but I believe you can still download you digital purchases and still use the website to buy PSP digital games. People might say the Wii died down and few people play it, that's not the point. The point is that I bought something and I can no longer access it if my system dies. Especially frustrating because the Wii was a massive success so a lot of people will lose their digital purchases.

With that said, holy crap, these are some fantastic games! I'm a old man so I played these in my pre-teens/teens and I think I would recommend almost every game on here with the exception of Darkstalkers 3 and that's only because I suck at fighting games.

New PS4 owner here; am I reading the prior comments correctly that this won't work on PS4??
I looked at one of the links and it says this is for PS3 and PSP?!? I'm new to this generation of consoles so maybe I'm missing something but I really don't understand the logic here.

I'm in the same boat as you. (My last console purchase before this PS4 was an original Wii). But when you click on the link to the games they mention they work on PS3 and PSP. Was also excited for the Chrono games, but looks like we need to hold off.
