Will there ever be a direct sequel for Celeste?

When it comes down to 2D platform indie games of 2018 one of the most popular games of that year was Celeste. Since its release Celeste has been praised by numerous critics for its storyline along with its gameplay and graphics that resembles modern 8 bit gaming. Since its release back in January of last year Celeste has managed to sell at least 50,000 units worldwide which is pretty good for an indie game. Despite, how much Celeste shined as a 2D platformer on consoles such as the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch this past year there is no question that it was overshadowed by games such as Monster Hunter: World, God of War, Super Mario Odessey, Zelda: Breath of the Wild and many more.

Just because Celeste was overshadowed for the most the most part in 2018 does not mean that the game does not deserve a sequel. In fact, Celeste has only been out for only one year and while it does indeed draw a sequel it will probably be a couple of years before the developer Matt Makes Games actually makes one. It will be interesting to see whether or not Matt Makes Games decides to make a sequel for Celeste in future but as it currently stands it seems like the developer has no plans on making it a reality.

Is Sony completely finished with backwards compatibility on game systems?

As many people know the PlayStation 5 is expected to appear sometime between 2019-2020 and as it currently stands it does not look like Sony plans on adding backwards compatibility to this upcoming game system. After all, the PlayStation 4 had absolutely no backwards compatibility with PS3 games and it managed to be probably the best selling game system of the 10’s decade. While PS2 was Sony’s best selling game system it was backwards compatible with PS1 titles and managed to become the highest selling console of all-time. Even though, models of the PS3 were backwards compatible with certain PS2 titles it still fell short of at least 20 million units worldwide in sales to that of the PlayStation 2 which reached around 154 million.

Since its release back in late 2013 the PlayStation 4 managed to reach over 86 million units worldwide in sales. It seems like the PS4 has managed to become highly successful without backwards compatibility this decade and adding that feature to the PlayStation 5 could possibly be detrimental to its overall success. For those who enjoy backwards compatibility in relation to older generation titles consoles such as the Xbox One would be most suitable for you especially since there is no indication whatsoever that Sony will be adding backwards compatibility to their upcoming game console.
