Sony confirms PS2 emulation coming to PS4

Because let's face it: if we are going to see a few PlayStation 2 games with neat graphics that is going to be very sweet, but we are most likely going to see PS 2 games with PS 2 graphics which look a little shinier.

The Xbox One's backwards compatibility feature is one skill that sets it apart from its Sony rival.

Despite the topic being very hush-hush at Sony headquarters, they did confirm on November 19 that the console will, and kind of already does, feature the emulation configurations.

Against the backdrop of the Eurogamer report, a Sony representative told Wired that Sony is "working on utilizing PS2 emulation technology to bring PS2 games forward to the current generation". "We have nothing further to comment at this point in time", said Sony.

These games have been analysed by techie types and have confirmed that games are emulations, not straight ports of the game which confirms that PlayStation 4 has the ability to emulate old PS2 games.

Both tweets got hundreds of responses, listing games like SOCOM 2, the Crash Bandicoot series, and Rockstar's PlayStation 2 titles like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Bully.

The backward-compatible titles can be downloaded from the Microsoft store or by just inserting the physical disc into the console and downloading the game from Microsoft's servers.

We want to hear your thoughts on this potential announcement and what PS2 Classics you would like to play on PS4 in the future.

You may be aware that a recent bundle of Star Wars Battlefront included Star Wars Classics for PS4 on top - with three of those games originally launching on PS4. This feature is not applicable to games that run via peripherals such as the Kinect.
