Recently, the developer Marc-André Jutras expressed his views on the compatibility of Sony in the interview: "As a player, it may be difficult for you to understand why backward compatibility is a difficult thing, why can't we directly play all games on PS4, 3, 2 and even PS1 on PS5? Obviously many old games can run very smoothly on the PC emulator. "Yes, although Sony has announced that PS5 is compatible with some PS4 games, but For most players, this is not enough.

The developer believes that in addition to technical reasons, there is another point that is easily overlooked by players, that is, the copyright of the game. "As a game developer, you can find that many game IPs have become very vague due to changes in the studio and other reasons. Even for some old games, their company may no longer exist."

Although backward compatibility is a icing on the cake, if you compare PS5 backward compatibility with Microsoft, Xbox One has been backward compatible with hundreds of Xbox 360 first-generation Xbox games, greatly satisfying the feelings party. Adhering to the principle of "I can't play, but not competing products", Sony can be said to have obviously fallen behind in this respect.

In fact, in terms of backward compatibility, Sony's own advantages are very obvious, such as a large JRPG fan base. However, on PS4, players can't play the final series of "Final Fantasy 13", which is indeed a puzzling thing. After all, SE is still alive and well, and there should be no copyright disputes in the Final Fantasy series.

In addition, due to the limitations of the times, the core charm of many games cannot be fully realized due to technical reasons. Not to mention far, including the recent remake of FF7, due to various reasons, there are some defects in the quality of the texture. Players certainly hope to experience this dream-like adventure on the PS5 with the best picture.

In any case, the latest host news from Microsoft and Sony has begun to slowly release. Although the backward compatibility feature looks harmless, if there is no one in the 4,000 downward compatible games promised by Sony that players most want to re-experience, it may not be good news for the subsequent development of PS5.
