I'd say PGW, and that this is the tentpole feature of FW 3.0 that is kept under wraps for a conference reveal.

There was also a screenshot posted in the PS4 beta community of a test stream of someone playing War Of The Monsters, which is a digital PS2 classic title in the US. Disk based backwards compatibility would be lovely, but it looks like this is only for digital PS2 releases.
How about we call out that crap if it happens instead of pre-whining?

Not having immediate access to PS3 games on PlayStation Now that I purchased digitally last gen still grinds my gears.
Hopefully these PS2 games play natively on the PS4 and all purchases transfer over.

If anyone says that they are stupid.
If anything that argument comes from people saying Xbox BC will spur One sales in any meaningful way. It still great from a consumer standpoint and this will be too.

If they ever release a working 'any game' Ps2 emulator, then you can bet that the first time you put the disc in it rips it to the hard drive and emulates from there. The disc only been required as proof of ownership. They sadly aren't likely to do this though.
This game is so good! Please let this happen!
Would be awesome.

I say PSX. The BC is not that big of announcement as xbox's BC since it is the PS2 era not the PS3. But for playstation fans this is something we wanted.
Also if there is trophy support, I assume it will be like a download title (only 315 max points) and no platinum. It would most likely be like the Arcade Classics were it watches a memory address for a certain value. Would be awesome if it had platinums. Lots of trophy hunters and I would have a reason to fully play a game and unlock everything all over again.

I wouldn't say 0% chance, but it is very likely they won't support disks.

People were excited over xbox bc. It hasn't really been implemented all that well so far though since they're still in beta and game lists are slowly increasing. Let's not make statements that don't encompass the reality please.
Minor detail, but you realize the Nobunaga's Ambition listed there is the brand new one, right?

Grats on the terrible post!
Here's a thing, PS4 owner since launch. Phil Spencer announces BC at E3. Within a month, I'm a happy Xbox One owner too. Fancy that!

Well the PS4 blu-ray does read DVD/s so technically it could read PS2 games with the proper emulation software.
LET ME DREAM
It would be but if Sony can try to bring in more PS2 classics in a big way then I'm all for it. The Star Wars games coming over could be huge sign of that.

I wish they would because there are so many great PS2 games not available as Classics. Though Sony probably has to jump through the same licensing hoops as MS does for emulated BC.
I'd love to play Ace Combat 4, 5, Zero, Jurassic Park Operation Genesis, and Star Wars Battlefront 2 on the PS4.

You didn't call out anything. You're flamebaiting.

Eh, I'll wait for something to be officially announced. Rather not set self up for disappointment.
This is my hope as well! Though I'm sure soundtrack licensing issues hold most games back... :/

Its cool, i personally don't really care for it just like with XB1 BC but its a nice thing to have.
Great post bruh.
Can't wait for: lolz excited about 10 years old games and features that should have been there at launch.
BTW, my dad is definitely stronger than yours.

If they could let you play PS2 discs off the PS4 then I'd jump on that.

Please give me disc based PS2 support. I neeeeeeeeeed it!

Not impossible. Just not worth it for Sony to do, especially with how much they have invested in streaming.
Need a hug ? You sound like you need a hug.
This is the stupidest thing I've read all day and I've spent all day on the internet, congrats.
It happened in this very post. In fact, you simply called out crap.

Don't kill me for this... But I'd pay 10 bucks to get Software Emulation for PS1/PS2 on PS4.
Disc support is more likely than unlikely imo. They supported PS1 discs on the PS2 and PS3, plus PS2 discs on compatibly models of the PS3. Why change their approach now? I think additional hardware sales and goodwill would offset the reduced sales of games on PSN. People will also likely pay for the convenience, but it would be nice to have a way of playi games stuck in license limbo, unable to be sold digitally.
