FF1-6 were never released in their original systems
Chrono Trigger AND Chrono Cross were never released in Europe also.
Those were truly dark times...

You're not from here (here is Europe for me) are you?
I have FFT, but I play it on my US PS2, which was IMPORTED! (screw you Sony!). But at least I'm happy I can play Suikoden V and God of War II correctly. I wonder about Rogue Galaxy though, but since that's one coming in May/June, there is no rush.Oh, and for the record. They probably didn't test Suikoden IV yet, and Suikoden III is, ofcourse, a no show since that one wasn't published here either.

Might be issues with the customable kits, teams and player names, would be considered a big issue for Sony, but playable for most people. Who knows?

Okay, cool. I shouldn't like to think I sounded as if this is the definitive list, since it will be updated a bit more, but I seem to have come off as thinking such.sonarrat said:

What I meant was how the 1.6 patch is going to affect my PS3's BC abilities.
Right now, I can play every single game in my PS1 and PS2 library. For the most part, games look just fine and play fine, thanks to an update a couple of releases ago.
I think Phil said they won't be turning off the hardware in the launch PS3s so BC in those units should be excellent. However, no one seems to know for sure. Hence, the hand wringing.

wtf, no Black? Failure.

We have no idea how severe the problems will be at this point. How does Sony define a problem? Their standards may be different. Based on the US/JP list, I'd say they have incredibly HIGH standards for BC as even the smallest of issues were noted. We'll see if that applies here.

I think that all the one star game are playable. Look at the p1 list, a lot of game who are one star work perfectly on the psp emulator.
We must know what noticable issues means before going to bad conclusion
With the us bc, a pixel who shifted to the left is an issue.

There is no better shooter than Black.
Ok, so at 1st people want hardware compatibility instead of a software solution that was gimped like the 360's...they are given that and are happy for a while. Then they start wanting a software solution with 1080i + 720p with 100% compat with all the games they have...ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT PUSH THE PS2 to the limits (YEAAAAAA really likely guys). People thought the software compat was going to be like 40% at 1st and then they find out that it's 1200 and then it gets upped to 75% in a very very short amount of time. (a few weeks?) and then we complain about having software emulation?DCharlie said:
What other system has as much support at the ps3 right now?
But really though, this is probably more than anyone expected and from the last compat. list, problems were like "skips during 1 FMV" or "has audio problems at startup where you see logos and stuff". Just wait to see what the problems were.

well, for ps3 jpn backwards compatibility they had a list that included icons being 1 pixel out of place etc but they some how failed to noticed that all the games were royally ****ed on hdtvs.... -so - how are the 1* games working though??? i think we need more feed back.
seriously - you HAVE to be ****ing kidding me here....

seems like most games of ANY note are being reported as having some sort of issue.
75% sounds like it includes anything that ****ing LOADS as being compatible.
Regardless of what the shite situation the X360 is in, this sounds a little off (even if i do like the idea of games that work being at least enhanced (WAY better than elsewhere))

Er, what? Enemies in Black take a lot of bullets, but at least there isn't a weird time delay barrier between my gun and the enemy. Killzone feels like a poorly put together shamble of shit and straw when compared to Black.

sorry - we had VASTLY different experiences with these games.
huuuuh?
throw grenade at feet
"GRENADE!!"
*Stands and watches grenade go off*
KZ had some of the worst AI i've ever had this misfortune to shoot - Black was spoilt by the bullet resistant enemies in order to make the game longer, but man - the difference in AI to me seemed vast (in Blacks favour)
*shrug*
Not many PS2 Killzone videos out there but here's one:

Wish they had a more open scene like the dropship area. Shows how the Helghast works together when you meet a handful at once.

In bold, just in case:
Sony has stated that they will NOT be shutting off hardware emulation in EE-equipped PS3s.
For the other question, I would certainly expect regular updates. How regular...we'll find out.

I think Wollan's Killzone experience is pretty much based on what he so badly wanted Killzone to be, as opposed to what the game actually was. I doubt I'm in the minority when I say that I would take bullet absorbing enemies over blatantly glitchy time delays between firing my gun and the round hitting the target. I guess it could have been forgiven had the reactions to the rounds hitting been a bit less pathetic. AArrrrghhh, says the flipa dop cardboard Helghast clown as he dies.

If they failed to notice it, then how did the original BC problem wind up completely fixed in a matter of just 6-8 weeks? Magic?
I agree we need more feedback from Sony, and more testing from real users in the consumer space, but it also must be noted that some people here are going way, way out of their way not to give Sony any credit where credit is certainly due. A significant portion of the NeoGAF community was predicting BC in the range of 20-30% when it was first announced that the PS3 was going software-based.
