PS4 to get PS1/2 Backward Compatability

Post by dakshdar »

Sounds good to me.

Many won't care, but it's a nice feature for anyone that held onto older games and ever wants to replay them. Clearly there is a market for it otherwise they wouldn't waste their time working on this.

This is different than the Playstation Now service. While that service is still planned (for streaming of PS1/PS2/PS3 games on PS4) this would constitute being able to use the actual disc from PS1 or PS2 games.

As predicted by Hoos in Aug.

"The PS4 has more in common with the PS2 than the PS3. So, an emulator for PS2 games might come out at some point."
