[Stike]

No PS2 discs? Welp.

 

[Xamtheking]

I don't know about Dark Cloud
But I'm happy for the people who wanted it

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

The dream is dead

fuck sony

 

[LiK]

Buy them all over again. Eh

 

[BakkaGames]

"PS2 Classics and PS2-Formatted discs are incompatible with the PS4 system."


Fuck this shit. Especially the PS2 Classics part.


No way in hell I'm purchasing a PS2 game on PSN for the second time.

 

[entremet]

The dream is dead

As expected.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

That description reads like a remaster rather than just a port...though the last sentence suggest port (as a download).

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

lollllllllll

no disc support

they're not gonna let us use ps1 discs when support is added either are they

AND they won't let you use the digital copies you already bought

lmfao what a trainwreck

 

[Cartman86]

I mean trophies are going to be something that might push me over but not supporting existing discs or digital PS2 games from PS3 just sucks. I already wrote off the PS2 games on PS3 when save data couldn't be brought over.

 

[delSai]

Of course Discs wouldnt work. Nothing surprising about it

 

[Cheat Code]

The bigger news is PS2 backwards compatibility is not actually backwards compatibility.

Not even for PS2 classics.

Fucking weak.

 

[Zombie James]

The dream is dead

Fuck.

 

[Scrawnton]

Can't wait for people who ridiculously got their hopes up for disc based emulation to now be outraged at Sony. It was never going to happen. Not sure why the thought was ever entertained.

 

[Zomba13]

The dream is dead

Time to re-buy the games you re-bought to play on your non-PS2 disc compatible PS3!

 

[Bsigg12]

The dream is dead

 

[benzy]

2 is a much better game. Where's that at.

 

[RPGamer92]

If I can download OG Silent Hill 2 and 3 over the weekend on PSN, I'd be in heaven

 

[Hugstable]

Lol they are actually charging us again for the ps2 games we bought on ps3

 

[hawk2025]

Can't say I even remotely expected discs, but what the hell at (apparently) not being able to use my PS2 classics.

 

[Fushichou187]

This appears to cast a dark cloud over hopes for PS2 disc-reading on PS4.

 

[ClayKavalier]

No PS2 discs? Welp.

Were people expecting that? I'd be shocked if that came to pass, though I guess Microsoft just did that with 360 discs.

Dark Cloud 2 is the one everyone remembers, right?

 

[fluffydelusions]

Of course Discs wouldnt work. Nothing surprising about it

Yup

 

[Flayer]

I guess PS2 discs was a pipe dream....

 

[Garlador]

"PS2 Classics and PS2-Formatted discs are incompatible with the PS4 system."

This crushes me.

But I'm insanely surprised even PS2 Classics aren't supported.

WTF, Sony?

 

[dadjumper]

I don't know what anyone expected, it wouldn't be worth the investment for sony if you could just go buy used PS2 games and play them on PS4

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Nice!

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Please re- buy all the games you already bought. We promise the prices will be... fair.

*tee hee*

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

The bigger news is PS2 backwards compatibility is not actually backwards compatibility.

Yep.

 

[Persona7]

The dream is dead

I am not surprised about the disk thing but having to rebuy all your games? lmao

 

[Tregard]

They got so close

 

[NIGHT-]

"PS2 Classics and PS2-Formatted discs are incompatible with the PS4 system."


Fuck this shit. Especially the PS2 Classics part.

Most of us expected it.

 

[pswii60]

I get the discs but the PSN purchases should carry over.

 

[jbug617]

I hope the one the digital ones I own on PS3 can come over.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Never change $ony

 

[SFenton]

lollllllllll

no disc support

they're not gonna let us use ps1 discs when support is added either are they

PS4 can't even read CDs, right? It doesn't have the correct laser?

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Re buy all the your games on PSN?

This isn't real right?

 

[Dad]

Even paying a $1 upgrade charge like Nintendo does would be better than just being SOL with PS2 Classics. Fuck

 

[Shenmue]

The dream is dead

I'll still love my 60gb PS3 more than my PS4.

PS4 can't even read CDs, right? It doesn't have the correct laser?

No. All Blu-ray drive lasers can read CDs. Sony just doesn't want to pay the licensing. It would only take a firmware update.

 

[Ganondorfo]

I thought Dark Cloud 3 was announced for Ps4. Sorry I read the thread to fast.

 

[Stike]

"PS2 Classics and PS2-Formatted discs are incompatible with the PS4 system."

Fuck this shit. Especially the PS2 Classics part.

It is possible the PS2 Classics are restricted by license issues, like PS1 classics are restricted from playing on Vita, for example.

So, it is (in that case) probably a license problem, not a technical one.

 

[5taquitos]

So is the PS2 emulator they wrote for PS2 Classics on PS3 just too much work to port or remake for the PS4?

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Cool. We probably getting Ape Escape 2 and TM:Black also.

 

[etta]

The dream is dead

Hmm, is there anything that would stop them from a technical standpoint?

 

[doniewhalberg]

I don't think discs were ever on the table were they? Kind of disappointing that were applicable that they won't cross buy your legacy classics on your account. Still, torphy support and share play? Pretty awesome.

 

[sn00zer]

Never change $ony

Woah how the generation changes from one to the next

 

[entremet]

I don't know what anyone expected, it wouldn't be worth the investment for sony if you could just go buy used PS2 games and play them on PS4

Correct. And the amount of current gen users with PS2 discs is very small.

Most gamers don't collect.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Not having discs was expected but not carrying over PS2 digital licenses from the PS3 era is pretty shitty.
