They aren't calling it Backwards compatibility tho.
They were shying away from that word the whole time.
They haven't called it that. No one is officially calling it that, actually.

Where is the $15 from? And yeah I predicted that considering the resolution and trophy support.

I don't think there calling BC though.
Well, that text can be covering their ass, but I'm kind of fearing the worst. I'm hoping they at least take a cue from Nintendo and have an upgrade promotion so you can get games you own (as PS2 classics) for something like $2-5 instead of full price, but sometimes Sony can be painfully non-friendly in those areas. And it's kind of rotten precident in a time when forward compatibility is more of an expected thing, but then again I guess mobile's a double edged sword in also leaving many things to burn with OS updates.
EDIT: And I still worry that insistence on trophies may hobble getting some older games, but then they could always just half ass it and it's not like lacking those has been some boon for getting a wide library of titles, outside of PS1 games in Japan anyway.

Persona 3 and 4 are safe bets at this point right? For hyping up newcomers to the series for Persona 5?

You're right they should definitely not call it backwards comparability...
...hey guess what I have some fantastic news, they aren't calling it backwards compatibility.
Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 Golden are the ways to go.

I'm surprised people are reacting positively to this, the implications this have on their entire policy for dealing with digital game ownership is terrible (and absolutely stupid, if Valve had public traded stocks I would be getting them right now, Sony is positioning themselves to have a long lasting disadvantage).
This is a strong indication that you won't be able to play your digitally owned PS4 games on the PS5 regardless of its architecture. This goes against everething you come to expect of digital goods consumption in 2015.

What freaking threads are you reading its been nothing but negativity for 6 threads
Haha, not happening. Sony should just sell the emulator and let me play my discs. Probably going to turn out like the classics on the PS3 being just ordinary isos which will just make this even worse. Would gladly throw a few dollars to Sony just for the convienece of using my ps4 but guess I'll stick to pc and play my games at 1080p there, lol
They will be available tomorrow.

I hope Dragon Quest VIII is next! Then Shadow Hearts games, Suikoden games and .hack g.u! Ahhhhhhhh, I could go on and on.
Final Fantasy XII too! Hoping that gets an HD release though.

I am looking forward to playing Rogue Galaxy again. It's been many moons. Now just put Xenosaga games on there and I will be content.
Why? You paid to play them on PS3, no? Did they say they would be compatible with PS4 and any future system?
At one point, PS1/PS2 classics from PS3 will stop working. Do you really expect that $6 purchase will stay playable until Playstation 10? How about you enjoy your game on the platform you buy it in and if its compatible down the line in the new gen, thats a bonus.
Not only that but will $15 will kill you? Rogue Galaxy, an RPG, at the price of a small PSN/digital title is a sweet price me thinks. I mean people are willing to spend $150 on an Xbox controller. Sure people can spend their money how they wish but $15 for a PS2 classic seems like an OK in general. Too much for you? Play your PS2 copy at 480P or less on your old PS2 with no trophies or any of the PS4's OS support. (like streaming)
edit: Actually just play your PS2 games on a high end PC. No additional purchase. Hope you or anyone doing this doesnt complain aboout CPU and GPU prices next though.

if the upres is legit i can easily see myself sinking money for games on this service. Stuff like Rogue Galaxy and Mark of Kiri i never got to play before, and if they bring stuff like Shadow Hearts 1+2 or the .hack//G.U trilogy they'll be milking money from me easy. also the prospect of possible ports of ps2 fighting games like KOF2K and maybe later on the alpha anthology , KOFXI, and Guilty Gear XXAC+ would further make the PS4 the new defacto fighting system

We need more negativity then, this ain't cutting it. This is early PS3 level of stupidity coming from Sony.

Yeah, they should really do something about the digital ones they already sold. Even if it's a token fee for the work in upressing, like Nintendo did with Wii U. Bit shitty in those instances, certainly. I looked at the store, and thought £10.99 was probably a little overpriced too.

I hope this means there is a chance at getting PS2 games with PS+ in the future. Maybe not since PS2 Classics never made it on PS3.
I would say when it comes to digital people should not settle for getting fucked and not have their purchases transfer over in some way. You want to think your purchases don't get stranded on a system that may not work many years later, or have online services get taken down so you can't redownload the game.
If this industry wants to embrace all digital the right way, they have to give something back to the consumer in exchange for the inherent sacrifices digital has. That means preserving purchased games from console to console, and creating an ecosystem where the stuff you buy is as valuable as a physical purchase. This is why Steam has been so successful.
It's easy to say "oh tough shit just rebuy it it's not that expensive." And sure, $15 isn't bad for the games you're getting. But you'd like to think these console manufacturers are thinking about digital preservation and not thinking they can recharge consumers every cycle again and again.

We really don't not in every single thread at least it takes away from people excited. This reminds me of how when gravity rush 2 was announced every threas during that time was vita port begging and blaming sony. Know what happened a mod had to shut that convo down and warn it was ban worthy now. So why deluge every thread into a negative spiral with this. 6 threads so far,same replys, same people, same stuff. We can't do anything here on gaf go tweet yosh,adam whoever go on the blog but sincr its announced and we are at this point, we should be able to be excited and talk about the actual feature now.(and im not even saying you guys are wrong, i feel for yall that spent on ps classics)
Im not surprised at all gaf is a minority. The majority are jumping up nd down excited i guarantee(for better or worsti expected more outrage too honestly
i was surprised by the like bar too
Isn't Golden PS Vita only? Though I sure wouldn't say no to a remaster.
