is anyone else annoyed that PS2 games wont be playable on Vita? i have planned to buy alot of PS2 games on PSN as they come out as i missed out on alot of PS2 games because i was young and just played GTA lol. i dont have alot of time at home so this would have been perfect... Vita is more then capable of doing it.. so why not?


They could add a PS2 emulator that would play PS2 games you get from the PSN at a later time. I think that would work out for them, since one would buy the game on the PSN to play it on the Vita, so that wold be good for them no?

It is perfectly logical to make a PS2 emulator for PSVita, but mybe it's not so simple to do it?

I can't understand why they have just announced that they are not planning on doing this.. It's seems so obvious that it needs to be done. If they can get ps3 games to run on it I'm sure they can get ps2 games on there

 They haven't got PS3 games to run on it - I'm not sure whether you mean Cross-Play (correct me if I'm wrong) which is basically where the PS3 runs the game and 'streams' it to your Vita, or if you mean stuff like Rayman / UMvC which are ports designed to run on the hardware.

 To get PS2 running on Vita the emulator would need to be made to do so - which while possible probably would take some engineering. It might be on Sony's 'to-do' list but it took the PSP 4 year to get PS1 games so I'd imagine they just don't want to make any promises they can't fufil.
