This hype train is beyond any capacitive measure. We've had the gamut of inexplicable outcomes:

1. Crash is returning :).
2. Shenmue 3 is a thing!
3. FFVII Remake
4. Street Fighter is Exclusive
5. Also, Dragon's Dogma is exclusive.
6. Also, Dragon Quest is going to be there.
7. PS1/PS2 Emulation
8. Cheesecake will be served.

That's a lot of hype. :/ How do you manage that sort of train.

Great, you left out TLG. Fifty pages incoming.

After the rumour from Eurogamer of PS1/PS2 emulation with 1080p scaling, and thuway repeating the same rumour, combined with the timing of the things already happening like the theme, the limited edition console, the tweets from @PlayStationEU and I saw a bunch of posts on PlayStation's Facebook with pictures of the PS2 memory cards with #memories and a few others; it is definitely reinforcing the nostalgia and announcing emulation would definitely be seen (to some) as a system-selling feature.

That would indeed be quite the megaton. I'm starting to believe it's really happening.
 
The first thing that should happen in that keynote:

1) Everyone in place.
2) Room goes dark.
3) PSX start up sound thunders through the room.

Boom.

Oh, and to add to that, PSN EU has a sale on PS1 games beginning today until December 17th...

Bu-bu-but-but Y2Kev....it's irrelevant....to him.

smh

And that's all that matters. I mean, fuck all of us who wrongly assumed it to be relevant. It's like that guy that said Shenmue was niche because He'd never played the first two. you can't beat that "logic".

Yeah, I suck at SF, but I buy every one of them. Gimme SF5 or alpha 4, plz.

SF5 being a potential exclusive is the same kind of dumb as the tomb raider exclusivity. you just shouldn't make a multiplatform series exclusive*

*unless you're reviving it/stumping up cash nobody else would ala bayo 2

I am reading all these predictions, and seeing a weird omission.

Where is GT on your lists, people?

GT6 wasn't great, Drive Club left a sour taste in our mouths and it's DEFINITELY coming at some point. I feel like I should be more hyped for it...I'm just not. But you're right, we haven't really discussed much GT7
 
I back this since it is actually very true. If one thing Sony has done right, its experiment with different games and different genres. I honestly do not believe Sega, Nintendo, or MS would be companies that would allow games such as Ico or Tearaway etc.

If you can name one thing Sony does right, its is allowing their developers to experiment for better or for worse and I think we (gamers) as a whole have benefited from it.
Yep if there is one thing that I've benefited from being a PlayStation owner is that every genre is represented pretty generously.

Is there a reason "BC" conversations only include PS1/PS2 and not PS3 games?

PS3's security hack would mean that people could write malicious code and make it onto a PS3 "Game" and if they used that disk in a PS4 through backwards compatibility and could compromise the PS4 security. Also, PS3 emulation is a lot harder than PS1 and PS2 emulation.Biggest of all, Sony are pushing PlayStation Now to stream PS3 games, it'd be *mostly* pointless when everyone can just replay their own library of games, not everyone has a bunch of PS3 games true, but it'd cut a hefty amount of potential profit from the service.

So all this time you people thought they would work on a FFVII remake and they were just trying to get the actual PS1 version to run on the PS4. :D

Just remembered its thanks to Sony that Demons Souls was even made. Sure Sony America dropped the ball on releasing it in the States but Sony Japan greenlighted the project for Japan Studio and From to make the game.

Now thanks to that we got Dark Souls and we are getting Bloodborne. Sony, may not get everything correct but when they do they are awesome at it.

Case in Point: Demon's Souls, and the PS4

Boom.

Gotta get off this nostalgia train. That would be meaningless for the new generation of gamers and make them feel like this thing is only for old people.

Something inspired by the old? Maybe.
