Support NeoGAF

[KurtSloane]

It seems like those games are exclusive to owners of SW Battlefront bundle (even though they were available for PS3 some time ago).

Fuck :/

EDIT: I think Sony is quiet about that, because MS has better solution than them - emulating newer console. Or maybe I'm wrong. Still, I was suprised to read the title of the article at first.

MS emulating 360 on X1 is a better solution to PS2 emulation on PS4?

Talk about nonsense.


One is a solution for 360 emulation, the other for PS2.

Sony gives zero fucks about 360 emulation or X1.

 

[yatesl]

I'm tagging this topic so I can laugh at everyone flipping their shit.

I really hope mod didn't change the title.

 

[semiconscious]

its like 99% of the people in this thread are unwilling to watch the video or read the op.

i blame this on too many energy drinks ...

 

[Drilbit777]

Could it actually be happening? Please make it happen Sony.

 

[LewieP]

Does streaming features and such work with those games?

Being able to stream PS1/PS2 games straight from a PS4 would be awesome.

Yes, it looks like all PS4 system level features are supported, like Streaming/recording/screenshots.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

Good reporting; keen eye!

 

[Trago]

Do people really believe that if they buy a digital license for a game on one platform, they then have a lifetime license for that game on any subsequent platform on which the game is released?

Considering how cross buy has been a major selling point for a lot of their digital titles, yes actually.

 

[dead monkey uk]

Did DF just fuck up and spoil this before PSX lol

DF had an article on this at the start of 2014 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-ps1-ps2-games-heading-to-ps4

 

[bobawesome]

ITT: people don't read more than the title.

NeoGAF: React first, read later.

 

[Numb]

Wait a min

 

[manzoman96]

My friend got the battlefront ps4 yesterday and he fired up the ps2 games. Seemed to work the same was as it did on ps3.

 

[timmyp53]

This is not a confirmation of anything. Rare Replay has emulated games. Does that mean we have OG Xbox BC. Sorry guys.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

YES! Finally something more than just speculation.

Edit: To be clear I mean that emulation is possible. People had mentioned earlier that it seemed like emulation since prompts and such hadn't changed in game, so it wasn't a port.

 

[Diprosalic]

ps2 with no jaggies and better performance? i can finally play all these games.

 

[Basileus777]

Haha at people freaking out over repackaged old news.

This is not a confirmation of anything. Rare Replay has emulated games. Does that mean we have OG Xbox BC. Sorry guys.

Yeah, I'm sure someone made a PS2 emulator for the PS4 just for some shitty Star Wars bonus games.

 

[ninjablade]

great news, i wish somebody could make dolphin run on ps4.

 

[FelipeMGM]

People should start reading the text/watching the video before assuming things. They even say in the piece that they reached out to Sony for info on this.

 

[LewieP]

NeoGAF: React first, read later.

What.

 

[Ran rp]

do i win a prize if i read the op and watched the video before posting

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

So Crash could actually come back!

Spoiler

CRASH TEAM RACING OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE

[WarlockTheWise]

Was the CELL really that powerful of a chip, something that was probably finalized in 2005?

Its not that the Cell was extemely powerful its just the PS4 cpu is based on a low power mobile chip.

 

[dracula_x]

Oh my, oh my...

Please let this be a reality not only for the SW games. PSX please deliver.

well...

A handful of PlayStation 2 titles are coming to the PlayStation 4, if recent ratings by PEGI - the European ratings board - are to be believed (thanks, All Games Beta).

The three titles in question are Ape Escape 2, Dark Chronicle (also known as Dark Cloud 2 in certain territories) and Twisted Metal: Black. All are listed on PEGI's website as having a release date of, well, today as it turns out.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

PlayStation Experience 2015 announcement?!?!?
Hope it will be disc based...

YES. That'd be awesome.

 

[Ludens]

If it's simple emulation, there won't be trophies.
If there are trophies, it means the game has been partially re-worked.

 

[Blanquito]

Looks like it increases the frame rate to 60 as well (at least for the game they were showing in the video). Looked nice and smooth.

If it's simple emulation, there won't be trophies.
If there are trophies, it means the game has been partially re-worked.

Read the article, that is addressed. It's emulation with watching the game state from the PS4 side of things to pop trophies.

 

[Jb]

If Nocture and other SMT games make it over to PS4 I'll be so fucking happy.
Too bad KOTOR didn't come out on PS2, ould have made a better offering than these SW PS2 games.

 

[TI82]

Suppose this is the big reveal for PSX, wonder what the launch games will be. Should be Crossbuy since Sony isn't money grubby like one of the other big three.

 

[SolidSnakex]

All of these games have trophies.

 

[thatJohann]

Much better indeed. Love how it's 4x the resolution of original PSX games. Looks so much cleaner, and it has a post-processing filter on top to get rid of jaggies, looks pretty much as good as old ps2 games can look. Vagrant Story should look pretty impressive.

 

[killatopak]

oh wow. I hope I can run disc based ps2 games.

 

[jon bones]

What.

ITT people jerk off to the idea that others didn't read the OP

 

[HabeeNo]

More unexpected than a stability update

You should watch the video.

 

[Palculator]

[TalentBurke]

I only kept one of my ps2 games, final fantasy XII which looks shitty on the 60GB Ps3. If this ps2 emulator is really coming to the ps4, I hope I can play this game upscaled.

 

[demolitio]

I'll take SOCOM 2 with working online please.

 

[Strangelove77]

What a scoop!

 

[eerik9000]

No.

[WickedLaharl]

The Redmond giant is allowing gamers to use their existing discs to play Xbox 360 games on its latest console (albeit as a 'key' that prompts a full download).

Awesome!

Meanwhile, the evidence to date - not least the ESRB ratings for PS2 classics - perhaps suggests that Sony's plans for the PS2 emulator involve selling these titles digitally, just as it did last-gen. With the PS2 emulation now in the hands of consumers, hopefully Sony's plans for the technology will be revealed shortly.

Lame :|

 

[Nozem]

Damn, even trophy support.

 

[FranXico]

If it's simple emulation, there won't be trophies.
If there are trophies, it means the game has been partially re-worked.

Sony filed a patent way back where the memory state of the emulator can be monitored so that trophies are triggered.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

If it's simple emulation, there won't be trophies.

There are trophies and it still seems like emulation. Sony has a patent for adding trophies on top of games which could mean as little as a small patch to games that support it.

 

[KainXVIII]

Well, its not PS3 emulation, but still cool (i guess)

 

[Mifune]

This bodes well.

All I want is to be able to play Yakuza 2 in some form.

 

[DMNBT]

I wonder if there's an emulator build for each game or if it's like X1's 360 BC and there's an universal PS2 emulator and they simply tweak some parameters for each game.

 

[Schweinehund]

hope we get cross buy with ps3.

Wanting to play through my mega man x titles soon.

 

[Portugeezer]

On top of that, the fact that it is not a native 1080p rules out a port for me. 99% sure it's emulation.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Well, its not PS3 emulation, but still cool (i guess)

The PSone and PS2 libraries are significantly better than the PS3's, so this is preferable.

 

[timmyp53]

I'm hopeful bud but seriously what you said isn't that farfetched.
