With backward compatibility confirmed and 100s of games said to be playable from the previous generations of consoles on the ps5 which Game are you looking forward to playing from any older Gen and why? Personally, I'd go with GTA san Andreas [i JUST CAN'T GET enough of it]

Personally only looking forward to next gen games. No interest in backwards compatibility

Well, it if can upscale previous gen to true 4k, it could be cool. But yeah, I'm definitely more interested in next gen as well. Backwards comp is a good thing to have tho. It's defintely better than annoying peripherals like when xbox one launched with kinect lmao

Was that ps eye or was it called ps move? I was never a fan of those things. Even the nintendo wii's motion controllers were not that attractive for me

Right, i think the xbox kinect and ps move were supposed to compete with the wii's motion controls. I'm glad they moved away from that with the ps4. Tho the VR peripheral is probably the replacement. I'm still not a big fan of vr.

was it better than wii sports lol. I could never get into motion controls for sports games. It could be fun when you were able to have people over for a party or something before the current situation that we're all facing with the pandemic

I remember the wii had this peripheral called wii fit and old people would actually buy it haha
My grandmother mainly liked the bowling and baseball. Amazingly she is pretty good at both

Used to play both consoles and honestly you are not missing out on much. Most games on Xbox just are not on the same level as PS games at least to me.
