Very disappointing that they didn't talk about this (or a possible DC3). Guess our next hope is at PSX2015, which is in December... :x
Look on the bright side; that would mean MORE PS2 classics coming to PS4 >=3

I know it's unlikely, but I really hope Sony are working on their own backwards compatibility solution. I have a few PS3 games I need to finish and if I could play them on PS4 that would be much better than setting up my PS3 every time I want to play.
PGW is more likely, otherwise they'll be announcing it after people get the Star Wars PS2 games from the Battlefront bundle.Very disappointing that they didn't talk about this (or a possible DC3). Guess our next hope is at PSX2015, which is in December... :x

Or they could announce it like they did with PS2 Classics on the PS3 and leave it in a footnote in a blog post about PS+.
Or Paris Gaming Week.

Hopefully it's available right after one of their next events :/
us psn rarely has had games added on days other than Tuesday for a while now though.
So this is either gonna be for Japan only for a while or revealed for next week, or for PSX 2015.

I don't think we will ever see native PS3 emulation outside of PS Now. The PS3 architecture is just too drastically different compared to PS4. It's practically impossible.
isn't it the same for 360 - xb1?
No. The two main differences are the Xbox 360 using a PowerPC processor, which was not quite as fast as the PS3's Cell based processor, but is also a much simpler architecture, and has much wider use (whereas the Cell is barely used at all outside of Playstation devices). This meant it was much easier for Microsoft to put together a solution to get code designed to be ran on the 360's architecture running on the Xbox One.
The other difference is that the 360 used a shared pool of 512mb of ram for both the system ram and GPU, whereas the PS3 had 256mb of system ram and 256mb or GPU ram. The 360 ram was slower than the PS3 ram, but it gave devs more flexibility over how to use it. My understanding is that this makes things a little easier with regards to backwards compatibility, although I'm not entirely sure on the specifics.
Those are the two main hardware differences between the 360 and the PS3. My understanding is that Microsoft were able to license a solution for dynamic recompiling from PPC to x86, whereas for Sony they would likely have to assemble any solution entirely in house.
Fingers cross they will at least be able to do PS3 BC on the PS5 where the jump in processing capability should allow them to brute force it. If they stick with the x86 architecture, they'll probably be able to maintain PS4 bc too.
Live from playstation, eh? Means that we might be able to take screenshots and record video. Which is nice, seeing as PS1 games on the Vita don't let you do that.This was posted on Reddit only to have it deleted pretty quickly. Usually if something is fake the mods will tag it as such.
Lends credence to the rumor that PS2 games are coming?
This is about an hour old. Checking the app now I can't find it. I'm not home so I can't check the PS4 itself or Twitch if there is an archive or something.

I get excited whenever this thread is bumped
Hope this is true, but this could be really easily faked right?
Its happening. Its finally happening.Is it happening?

There are a few classic I would care to replay, but this would just be nice fan service at its finest. Psx is the best place for a b/c announcement.

I dunno I still don't think this is happening. Just doesn't make sense from a business standpoint. Not enough people care about this to justify the costs.
While I can agree with that in regards to allowing physical media to be used for BC, digital PS2 releases on the PS4 is just opening up another revenue stream and it'd be particularly enticing for certain people when you factor in it seems like PS2 classics on the PS4, unlike the PS3, have access to core PS4 functionality (Streaming, share button stuff, trophies, etc.).I dunno I still don't think this is happening.

So what happened with this? Nothing at PGW and nothing else since they got rated either. Everyone was excited for the inclusion of trophies in PS2 games what with those Star Wars games coming too. Wtf Sony?
Next stop PSX I guess. Seems like the kind of event that would be more appropriate for this kind of an announcement anyway.

Was it announced that you get them on release though? It could be like other similar promotions where you get them when they are ready (Gears of War games with the Gears game on XB1)But the Star Wars bundle in a few weeks apparently has BC games as part of its bundle.
Aside from Super Star Wars the last three are on PSN already. What was stated for them would fit with the upgrades we have been hearing about for PS2 classics (Trophies, graphics smoothing via emulation and what not)
