Cause that would be cool and great, but that is not what Sony is saying.  Not what they said at reveal, not what they said recently.

Would be happy to see this change though. 

I'm pretty sure they said they will have BC with Gaikai or whatever. Sort of what MS might bring with the cloud and you'll be able to stream the older games. I don't know how good that will be for me, I don't have an incredible internet connection.

Yea, I remember the Gaikai thing, but that's the game running in and on the cloud.  Not on the PS4.  And you can't put your disk games in an have them play, sadly. 

Yes, for Gaikai to work you need a super good low latency internet connection to work.  It is actually significantly more sensitive than the Xbox Cloud proposed stuff.  Have they announced yet when Gaikai will be up an running?

I think you may have to buy the game again too.  I would hope they at least upscale the game.  Up-scaling older games is one of my big complaints with the WiiU.

Microsoft hasn't said anything good about backward comparability on the Xbox One either.  I really annoys me, as DirectX, the stuff running under the Xbox and Windows, is usually really good at that and it would be nice to move some Arcade and Dance Central over to the Xbox One.  (Dreams of running Skyrim in 1080/60 on the Xbox One - knows you can do it on PC, but wants it on a console.)

Hopefully, someone can put in a nice fiber optic internet cable in your area soon.
