An in-depth look at PS2 emulation on the PS4

PS2 games finally come to the PS4... at a price. Is the high cost of entry worth it? How do the games look? Find out inside!

for no fing reason i m buying digital Ps2 games that i already own ...damn Sony develop a proper disc based emulator and not this digital thievery

I think it's pretty crazy that the PS2 Classics, purchased on the PS3, don't transfer over here. That's a pretty big insult to those that plopped down money last generation.

If they did that then there weren't be any triphies or ps4 features.

why not? put in the disc and it downloads the game for you from PSN. Thats how XB does it

To me, it's not worth it. Too pricey, transactions don't cross over from my PS3. I just hope that Sony doesn't hinder me from playing games I acquired from the store when they shut down the PSN for PS3.

Yeah, that's my biggest barrier to digital distribution. I'm very worried my games will disappear into the ether in the next ten years, though the convenience outweighs the risks for me. I'm not understanding Sony's pricing structure on these games either.

I'm sure a ton of work went into getting this emulation to work so well. Regardless $5 - $12 per game would feel much better. Seriously hope Metal Gear, Socom, Killzone, ICO, etc., make it.

Socon2 would be epic for me and alot of people!! Just hope the online portion would be there, but id still pay $10 to play the campaign.

Please don't try to find them excuses, I'm pretty sure they had this well planned for a long time now and wasn't that hard for them. They just waited for the "right" time (a.k.a. introduction of BC on microsoft)

Just not taking it for granted. My only issue with the service is the pricing.
