Guys the GTA San Andreas streamer just changed the aspect ratio by going into PS4's display area settings; the people in the live chat were telling him that's the reason why it was 4:3, so he changed it and fixed it. No big deal!

Considering music is a huge part of why I play GTA games, this is a bummer.

Oh thank fuck. Still only 30fps but I don't mind so as long as it's solid.

Bit the bullet and got Vice City, wanted to see this emulation first hand. Well, it works ! But getting used to old control methods is not easy ..... and the trails blur stuff was absolutely horrible so had to turn that off immediately. Its Vice City PS2 in 1080p, just as advertised. Not sure if any music has been removed, all seems to be playing as I remember it. Also forgot Danny "Fucking" Dyer voiced the English guy. Currently uploading a video from PS4 for those who want to see what its like. Still at 30 FPS, and I cant remember what the load times were like on the PS2, but its still a lil bit long. Its also funny that the higher resolution boost makes pop in ridiculously more obvious, can see motorbikes driving themselves 
Seems pretty good, but .... you know, disc emulation would be preferred.
Edit - Comparison for trails on/off.

Was gonna bite on Vice City, but if this is the case then FUUUUCK that.

It's a bit disappointing but I do wonder why some PS2 titles emulated got the 60fps treatment over their initial 30fps release whilst some maintained the 30fps target?

Why is san andreas twice as much as it is on mobile? New features?
As far as i know, this isn't true. As long as games are uncapped from their original release they will go to 60. If they are capped at 30, that is the limit for these games.
Also, glad to see there is a native 16:9 option in the settings for all games

Can you elaborate? This is a big deal for me heh.

I guess it come be because animations are framed to the framerate...I mean I guess that was more common in ps2 era (perhaps?) and it depends on how much the developers let Sony edit their games to do trophies etc.
Maybe the GTA games were rushed? They weren't rumoured at all and it was only yesterday we found out that they were coming.
This is a possibility as well.

Now that's odd. I wonder how and why PS4 will detect an unlocked frame rate and boost it up to 60 but doesn't do the same for 30fps games? Perhaps it's like someone already said: to do with the physics and animations tied to the frame rate or something like that.

Could someone confirm there are platinum trophies for Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy and Mark of Kri ?

Sounds promising for future titles, thanks for the answer.
Looks legit, even including the streched HUD elements, like the minimap. IIRC, that happened with the original release. Too bad they couldn't raise the framerate for such an old game, but as long as it's a locked 30fps that should be an improvement over the original which was unstable and prone to drops on the PS2 version, AFAIR.

The physics in the GTA games is tied to the frame rate, there was never a chance they were going to be 60 fps.
And could anyone check the soundtrack in Vice City?

Nearly 15 minutes of Vice City from PS4 (Probably still processing, shouldn't be long until done)
Forgot to say, split second 90 degree traffic turning ..... I missed this.

This please. The answer will decide if I buy the game.
Gameplay from Grand Theft Auto 3 on PS4. The nostalgia... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT9JFmmOcKw
When they said the PS2 game, they really meant it, it looks like. It plays exactly like it did back then, frame rate and all, just 1080p now.
Can only comment on Dark Cloud, but it has a platinum.

Anyone downloaded The Mark Of Kri yet? How's the frame rate?

Has anyone downloaded the US games onto a UK PS4 yet to see if they work? Wondering if they are region locked..

Re: The GTA games being 30fps:
The PS2 version of San Andreas runs at like 20-25 FPS for most of the time, so a solid 30 is an improvement in my book. Also, if you play the Vice City and San Andreas ports on Steam, there are options to increase the FPS to 60, but weird shit happens due to things being tied to framerate (headlights don't work, cars reverse super duper slow, and probably a whole lot of other things). Long story short: You would not want to play the PS2 GTA games at 60fps -- not unless they figured out a way to untangle the physics from the framerate.

All three GTA games. I turned off trails for GTA3 and VC but SA doesn't seem to have that option.

Played about 30 minutes of Rogue Galaxy, it looks a tad better, but the framerate seems worse. Kinda stuttery. Also I had to screw with my zoom settings on tv and the sound & screen options on the PS4 to make it fit my screen. Before It played in a bordered window.

Isn't Billie Jean by default the first song that plays when you hop in the car in Vice City?
Someone who has these, please
It'll answer everything we need to know about these ports.

That footage looks pretty good! If you just wanted to play the old gta games with minimum of fiddling required it seems like a good deal. A ps4 bare bones remaster of 3, vc, and San Andreas would probably have been $40 or so anyway. This gives you the option to buy just one.

Was deciding between getting Vice City on PS4, rely on my PCSX2, or getting the iPad version which I heard was really, really good. Those early impressions aren't sounding too good for the PS4 version.

If you already have these and aren't bothered about trophies use PCSX2. THis is mainly 4x native resolution, and iirc, PCSX2 can go at least 8x and beyond I think. That said I heard the iOS versions were awful
