Talk:List of PlayStation 4 games incompatible with PlayStation 5

Unnecessary article

We don't need a new article for a small number of games. — Niche-gamer 21:38, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Why not? It's likely it could be expanded with games that have issues once the systems releases. Blsupr (talk) 22:12, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

I reformatted the list to follow the project's style for game lists. @Niche-gamer and Blsupr: I left a notice on the talk page of the project alerting them to this list for a more thorough discussion. Personally I'm indifferent on the list. I see where it could be useful and encyopedic since we have List of backward-compatible games for Xbox One and List of Xbox games compatible with Xbox 360 but this list is going the opposite direction and documenting the games not compatible. It is possible to create a tag on the main PS4 & PSVR lists that indicate incompatibility with PS5. However some of these games (like DWVR and Joe's Diner) do not appear to be on one of the existing lists. Alucard 16_{❯❯❯ chat?} 08:39, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

We do not create articles on the basis of what may or may not happen. The list as published is not large enough to justify an article. Mad Triangles, developer of DMWR, is already promising to patch their game to fix the backward incompatibility issue. — Niche-gamer 12:28, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Well, I was basing it off of List of PlayStation games incompatible with PlayStation 2 and it was mentioned that even though most games will work some may still have particular issues so I figured as those issues are found they could be added to this article.

I'm boldly redirecting this based on Niche-gamer's rationale as well as this short discussion. There's not enough content to justify an article at this time. -- ferret (talk) 23:03, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
