Translations (JP to English)

While on the topic of the PS4, the absolute most important thing IMO for the PS4 is for the love of God to make the programming process much easier than with the PS3.

The absolute worst thing about the Current Gen Console market is how XBox 360 players can boast how the games run better and look better on the 360 ONLY because the game developers were lazy and programmed the games for the 360, ported that to PC, and then generically ported that to the PS3 never coming close to optimizing the game for PS3.

This expectation of a generic port to work properly is the main reason FFXIV 1.0 could never work for the PS3. it's also the same reason Bethesda has so many problems with the Skyrim DLC. Yea it's because of the split-RAM, but that split-RAM isn't an issue if you program for the console instead of port to the console. So hopefully Sony won't do something like split-RAM again and simplify the programming of games for the PS4 so that multi-platform games for the PS4 will be treated better instead of ignoring the hassle of the coding.

I just want backwards compatibility in all new consoles, then we can play PS3 FFXIV on PS4 if we want.

But let's get back on topic or move to another thread.

we should go back to translation but i don't think any of the console would have backwards compatibility they want you to play and buy PS4/xbox w/e games not play your old games if you want to do that you would just keep your old system they would say lol that what happen with ps3.

Backward compatibility is good for each new console. Wii can play gamecub games, WiiU can play Wii games, PS2 can play PS1 games, PS3 can play PS1 games and the first version also PS2 games, PSP can play PS1 games and PSVita can play PSP games and PS1 games.
I hope the PS4 can play PS3 and/or PS2 games. We have already enough Sony consoles for PS1 games.

Would not be surprised if this happened, although if they did it would put places like gamestop out of business.

Guys, guys I know I helped too but we are derailing the translation thread

Wait wait wait wait...are we talking about the same PS3 here? The one that SEJ lost money on every unit sold? The one that had barely any games at launch? The over priced console most people passed on until they dropped the price a bit and started offering different models?

That PS3?

Not everyone has the speed nor the available data allowance to do that, we're a long way off for consoles to be 100% reliant to the internet.

No i think they are referring to the PS3 that unlike it's competitor still prefers quality over convenience.
