Gamescom Opening Night Live Recap, PS5 Won't Play PS1, 2 or 3 Games, Sony Plan More PC Ports and Faster Releases & Mario 3D Remasters Delayed

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On this week’s PlayersToo Podcast: we recap last week’s Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase with a run-down of the major announcements and games shown. We also discuss backward compatibility on PS5 after a now-removed Ubisoft support document suggested only PS4 games would be playable; plus, what a Sony corporate report stating the company wants to port more to PC and speed-up first party releases could mean for their games and the people who make them; and a rumour that the not-yet-announced Mario 3D remasters have been delayed until nearer Christmas, with an announcement possible this month.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As ever we discuss the games we’re playing including Mark’s continued adventures with Uncharted and Lewis’ first look at Carrion, and we shout out to other stories including this month’s free games on PlayStation and Xbox, review scores for Madden NFL 21 and Crusader Kings III and more. We round off the show with a discussion on our PlayAlong game for August, Supergiant Games’ second title, Transistor! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our PlayAlong game for September is Gone Home, the first-person narrative exploration game from Fullbright. Play it as we do, share your thoughts with us on social media and we’ll discuss the game on the first show in September!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find and follow PlayersToo on:</span></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/PlayersToo"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Twitter</span></a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/playerstoopodcast"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Facebook</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/playerstoo/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Instagram</span></a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCkeYho105v1bsQC49JaQow"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> YouTube</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you enjoy this podcast PLEASE give 5 stars and a review on</span> <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/p
