| LivingMetal said: So let me get this straight. With the exception of the three earliest models, the PS3 can read PSOne discs and play digitally downloaded PSOne and PS2 games bought via PSN. Currently, Sony is telling us that there is PS2 emulation on the PS4, but we don't know whether it's referring to digitally downloaded PS2 games only or both digitally downloaded and disc based PS2 games. Now, we are hoping that it does refer to the PS4 reading PS2 discs plus trophy support. This is what I'm gathering, correct? |
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.
