Bah j'ai pas vu les infos pour les disques, autant j'ai lu l'histoire du moteur graphique pour remasteriser les anciens jeux (ce qui me paraît un peu gros).
Après, je prends toujours avec d'énormes pincettes les annonces dans le JV... quand on voit que mêmes les officielles ne garantissent rien du final.

Sony has confirmed that the PS5 will be backwards compatible with your PS4 games. According to the Wired article,
the next-gen console won't be a digital only machine, it'll still accept physical media, and because it's based on the PS4 architecture is will be backwards-compatible for PS4 games.
There's no word on PS3, PS2 or older games as yet, but no doubt PlayStation Now will be making the move to PS5 too.
However, according to a US patent filed by Sony Interactive Entertainment and spotted by GearNuke, there is reason to believe the PS5 will offer games from the entire PlayStation bloodline. The patent, called "Remastering by emulation," appears to indicate a new method of implementing high-resolution art assets into legacy software "on the fly."
Similar to the "texture packs" PC gamers have been concocting for years, remastering by emulation could serve as a cost-efficient way to improve the graphics quality of older titles without remaking them from the ground up. Sure, it's a stretch to say this equates to the ability to play our PS4, PS3, PS2 and PS1 games on PS5, but even so, we can see how it would be interpreted as such.
This patent isn't the only sign we have that backward compatibility for older PlayStation games is on its way, either. A more recently discovered Japanese patent describes a technique that enables Sony hardware to "determine whether an application is a legacy application or not," and was actually authored by PS5 lead architect Mark Cerny. Moreover, the patent examines the potential for putting imitation legacy chipsets inside newer hardware. In doing so, Sony could avoid the obstructive hurdles that often thwart emulation efforts.
