Worst fear is that due to the trophies and "enhancements" only a very small portion of the PS2 selection will be available and it will be drip fed for years until it gets anywhere close to the PS3 selection.

Dark Cloud 2 and Ape Escape 2 day one if this is true!!

I really hope it is. PS1/2 games on PS4 needs to happen.

The PS2 selection on PS3 was anything but comprehensive

I assume that was a mix of publisher apathy and the fact that the emulator was horrific, meaning a lot of games probably straight-up didn't work when tested

I will be completely content if I could play PS1/PS2 games on PS4 with share features enabled. Would be so good to hear about it at TGS and coming when FW 3.0 drops.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Don't believe it's, and if it's true they're just gonna be PS4 formated SD versions.

They've been removed, I was looking at them 20 minutes ago.

THEY SHALL NEVER HIDE THE TRUTH!

Yeah, that picture and the fact that they removed it pretty much confirms it.
I guess we're having PS2 classics on PS4, ladies and gentleman! :)

A bit off-topic: Dark Cloud 1 is available in the JP PS3 store, Twisted Metal Black is in the EU one, and Ape Escape 2 and Dark Cloud 2 isn't available in any store.
 
This worries the crap out of me,

PS2 classics hit the PS3 and it didnt mean that the PS3 could play PS2 games, it meant you could buy specific PS2 games to play on PS3

Until backwards compat is confirmed im not getting excited for this, this could just be that specific PS2 games will be available for purchase on PS4

that is not what I want, I want to be able to play my PS1 & 2 games natively on my PS4

Wait that's Dark Cloud 1 on JP PSN? Thought it was DC2 :p
Twisted Metal is on both US and EU PSN.

Rogue Galaxy is also on the Ps3 JP store. I think its the international one as well.

OH SHI.
I HAVE DOZENS OF PSONE AND PS2 CLASSICS FROM JP PSN.
PS4 getting compatibility from them will lighten the space on my PS3 and allow me to put more hours into them on my PS4 XoX

I'm the 'enhancements' will be emulation-based ones. Dream scenario is:

Vanilla versions of PSOne and PS2 classics cross-buy with PS4. Certain games are available with enhancements which cost a bit more (and if you own the vanilla versions you can 'upgrade' for a small fee (£2?)).

That's exactly what I've been thinking/hoping for a while. Really hope Sony goes this route

This would get me to dust off the PS4, and buy some PSN cards.

I'd love to see War of the Monsters and DQ VIII brought over!
 
I would die. I really hope PS1/2 classics come to the PS4. There are SO MANY PS2 games that need to be made available digitally.

Ape Escape 2 Day 1 if true.

Edit: If trophies mean the difference between getting a bunch of games right away as opposed to few at a time then trophies can right the fuck off. Can't imagine that would be the case, but if it was then screw them. Just get the games out there!

People buy games for trophies. Like it or hate it, I think it will help more games appear overtime.

Well Ape Escape 1's PSP re-release is on US PSN.
And really if they released 3 you'd be asking why they didn't release 2 first, come on...

Because 2 is seen as the weakest of the trilogy (still a great game by all means), so it wouldn't be surprising that 3 made it on JP PSN before 2 (which it did)

Does anyone even care about On The Loose enough to gate wall AE1 for that reason? SFA3 is on PS1 Classics yet I can get Alpha 3 MAX on PSP?

Makes no sense.

You know what would be hilarious if PS4 got PSOne support?
The fact that you could play Crash and Spyro trilogy on a PS4, but not on US Vita accounts :V
