PS3 has been able to play PS1 discs since launch, still can. Can the Slim not?
Hmm, pie.
yes, its about time to play all those classic PS2 games i'm interested, but never bought them during PS3 due to they ain't quality improved...

That's possible. I bought a launch fatboy core (wifi and consoles are for chumps).
Would love to hear more about it. But will keep playing my PS4 games

All PS3 models can play select downloaded ps1/ps2 games.
The gen 1 ps3 had an actual ps2 like chipset inside giving it near perfect bc.
The gen 2 ps3 lost the chipset and used software emulation to manage partial bc.
Gen 3 and beyond could only play psn classics.
The ps4 appears to have a ps2 emulator installed (i told everyone that 3.0 contained this) that will be announced at psx.
Atm noone knows if it extends beyond ps2 classics. |
Sorry I wasn't very clear on the PS3 backwards compatibility. But the way you broke that down makes my statment more clear. :)
And not trying to go off topic, but what you're implying to me in your last statement is that the PS4 doesn't have the option to play PSOne games. We are not entitled for Sony to give us that option, but I find it kind of strange to not have that option since it should be easy to... emulate, and they been doing this since the PS2. I have not researched all the functionalities of the PS4, obviously. Then again, some folks have a beef with the PS3 not being able to play PS2 games.

No, beause the SPU's act as assisting GPU processors, assigning cores as SPU's wouldnt work as a single i7 core wouldn't be able to do the gpu processing, and if you tried to split the workload over to assigning graphics processes on the SPU to a pc GPU, you would essentially be doing dynamic recompilation on graphics based compute instructions, so it would never run fullspeed.
That would be a great feature if PS4 will be able to read PS1 & PS2 disc. But nothing I'm going crazy for.
Hmm, that is interesting. I wonder if it will work like XBO's BC. Does the PS4 have the PS2 classics section on PSN?
Dance my pretties!

Let them complain. The option is there for people that really want to play them. GAF is pathetic. I got banned for disagreeing with Anita on a subject.
Normally not on the Sony bandwagon but I have a hard time believing this won't be disk based... They have been trying (and succeeding in areas) to 1-Up MS this entire generation. Here's hoping you PS folks get what you want as I don't think PSNow or having to purchase titles again is the answer... I guess they could always follow Nintendo with the e-shop route on old games...
