Why do JAP/US get a full description for each game and EU gets words that mean nothing "noticable issues". Europe gets shafted again.

One thing everyone should keep in mind before taking a shit is that this is software emulation, after all. The BC list will improve as Sony releases updates.
However, they're not going to focus on BC as much as they have in the past. We're going to need our PS2s if we want to play ALL PS2 games perfectly.
This makes me wonder how the 1.6 firmware is going to affect my launch PS3.

I wonder how fast it takes them to add more and fix others. I mean it seems they have been able to ramp up the number pretty quickly. First it was 1000, then 1200, now almost 1800.
Then there is the upscaling rumor for some games this summer going around. This removal of chips and semi-software emulation could be a blessing in disguise.

Multiple download queues is pretty nice, that wasn't in the earlier 1.6 report. Hopefully thats true. But I doubt it will be downloading during the game. Only resumed when you exit the game. But still way better than what we have now.gofreak said:

A consumer viewing this information has little idea about the state of BC for a particular game. They didn`t even give examples of what a 1* games issues are, what a 2* games issues are. Without anything to compare against, it doesn't mean anything!

Its the same on 360. Budget releases often are less supported than original releases. Don`t know why

NOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!
This will still be spun negative. When the "software BC" story first broke, the story was "Oh, So Sony's going the Micorosoft route!" But on day one, they've already obliterated Microsoft's BC policy.
That being said, there are some notable games with "noticable issues". GTA San Andreas jumps out to me as a biggie. Hopefully, their "noticable issues" are similar to the insanely detailed notes from the US BC list. If a "Minor Issue" is like "on level 5, pixel (305,302) is blue when it should be green" then hopefully noticable is still very playable.
And don't expect any upscaling yet. The GS is still there in hardware, which is ultimately responsible for rendering the images. Eventually, Sony will probably get the GS in software, and then we might see some upscaling.

I thought PSone compatibility would remain pretty high?
wow just wow.. thats disappointing i guess, although i wont be playing any psone games on a ps3. But if i did...
SCES-00010 Wipeout ***
SCES-00327 Wipeout 2097 ***
SCES-02845 Wipeout 3 ***
Anyway, i hope they keep improving their emulation and get a decent patch out around April/May and get FFXII at 3 stars.
GOD2 will be the first ps2 game i play on the PS3 whihc arrives sometime in april.

PS2 games I own that are not on this list:
-Bully
-Samurai Champloo: Sidetracked
-Skygunner
-SSX3
-SSX Tricky
-ZOE2
Unfortunately this is like half of my PS2 collection. Of what is left, these games would play with noticeable issues:
-Beyond Good & Evil
-FFX
-Kingdom Hearts
-Okami
Owning none of the BC games with minor issues and only having ICO play perfectly, I'm happier than ever to be an early PS3 adopter. I also noticed that SotN is missing from the PS1 list, which really hurts. The list is especially foreboding when I look at the PS2 games I will buy for extra cheap in the future or by new release, where the following will not play:
-Everybody's [Hot Shots] Golf 3
-Jack & Daxter
-Katamari Damacy
-Metal Gear Solid 2
-Odin Sphere [what.]
-Parappa
-Ratchet & Clank series
-Rez
-Rogue Galaxy
In short, hold on to your PAL PS2s... it's going to be a rough ride for niche gamers.

Insane For Sony
Note that a some versions of MGS3 are *, but all of the MGS3: Subsistence releases are ***, so it's all good as far as MGS3 goes. No MGS2, no ZOE2 and no SH3 though... those were some of the PS2s finest showpieces
Still it's cool that Ico, SotC, GoW and GoW2 work perfectly.

Wow, that's impressive.
I can't imagine how many people are on the BC team to identify all this shit for thousands of games. Talk about commitment.
edit: Looking again, they're missing or having compatibility issues with a lot of major titles... Surprised at that, maybe they'll fix it.

I've just checked each of my PS2 games on the list:
6 games with "No known issues to date"
2 games with "some minor issues"
3 games with "noticeable issues"
and 3 games aren't listed

Goddamnit. Final Fantasy VII not at all, VIII with issues... Amplitude doesn't work... Resident Evil 4 doesn't work properly... Rez doesn't work... Dynasty Warriors 5 doesn't work...
I mean 75% is great.. but these are the games I know I will want to play in the future. So I guess my next Sony console purchase is a PStwo. Basically the companies that did interesting things with the PS2 hardware will now be punished by having their games made obsolete. Thanks for coming guys!

This will definitely be seen as negative, even though this is insanely impressive for software emulation. They could have 95% compatability, and if the 5% included FF games, they would get heaps of shit for it. This is good to start, but I know I won't be getting rid of my PS2 now.
