Possibility they could be adding trophies to at least some of them too, like with Bounty Hunter.
Patent from a couple of years ago: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/03/21/are-trophies-coming-for-psone-and-ps2-classics
Great news. Now we need to know when?
Online Medal Of Honor.
San Andreas, Vice City too.

Wonder if they bring PS1 with it? I know PS2 could emulate PS1 games but dunno if the emulation would be able to.
I hope so. Need some Crash Team Racing.

Online what?
It will also most likely be PS2 exclusives and a few other classics from rockstar and square Enix.
I'm not much into trophy collection, but it'd be nice for those who are. If I was dreaming, there'd be a USB adapter invented that I could plug in my old memory cards and have a peep at my old saves.
I hope they do, would expect it to be part, especially with their PS1 emulation on PS3, Vita and the already available decent back catalogue.
Also, hopefully it means I get to play Burnout 3 - Takedown on PS4, the best racing game ever(at least the best non cart one, would take a time to decide between it and CTR).
knowing Sony these games will probably start at £35 making it pointless. I used to love the PS2 and I put thousands of hours into Pro Evolution Soccer but if I was to play it today, once the nostalgia wears off I think I'd end up disappointed and I think that will be the case for most games from the PS2.
Some of the MOH had online multiplayer on PS2...
Servers will be long dead by now
Crash Bandicoot?
That and Ratchet & Clank I'm looking forward to, though with the latter I'll probably wait for the PS4 version to come out
Some of you seem to be missing the point, unless I'm missing it altogether. There should be no talk about which games are supported or pricing. An emulator means you'd be able to plug in your old PS2 disks and play them in their original, unaltered form (plus HD upscaling probably) - emulated memory cards and everything. Trophy support seems curious, but apparently the emulator can track the game state, allowing developers to add in trophies through an update. Pretty neat actually.
As long as I can play my PS3 versions of the PS2 games - which doesnt seem likely - then I'd be very happy.
That said, getting out the San Andreas disk will be

The ability to play Ps3 games would be better. Ps2 games have had their day and the graphics just don't really age well, even with a little makeover. How about a slightly remastered COD4
Not even bothered at all.
PS3 remasters already exist. A true PS3 emulator is out of the question though, the PS4 doesn't have anywhere near the processing power to successfully imitate the asymmetric Cell processor. A fully functional PS2 emulator is the very best we can hope for this generation.The ability to play Ps3 games would be better.

How about a PS3 add on?.. Cell processor, all that shite. Essentially what Nintendo did with their GB emulator.
Dunno who the feck would buy it though! For 50 quid it might be worth it when your PS3 breaks.
That's pretty much how they achieved PS1 backwards compatibility on the PS2, it simply had a PS1 chipset built it! At least the original, fat model did, don't know about the slim. IIRC they sacrificed part of the BC with the slim edition.
Apart from Yakuza 5 and the odd game of Wipeout, I would hate going back to PS3. Everything is slow. Updates are all separate rather than all in one. I can go back to the 360 as everything was fast on there.
I want to play adidas power soccer..

Is it going to support discs like the Xbox one does for 360 games? Would be really annoying if it's just digital versions you need to buy again
No one knows for sure yet, but if they can implement true PS2 emulation and restrict it to digital downloads it would be a an incredibly low move. On the other hand, where would that leave their PlayStation Now service?
Ssx tricky might still be fun.
Okay so I've decided to buy myself a PS4 after being out of the console game for over 12 years...well, I did have an xbox 360 but I literally just used it to play FIFA with my old housemates. Other than that the only gaming I've been interested in has been on my PC via Steam. So can someone fill me in on what's changed? Apparently games are now to be installed? What's the craic with borrowing games and installing them on your console? I take it the disc is also required? Is there any issue with buying games second hand on ebay? Also, what's the deal with the PS Network and online gaming?

That'd be grand. I traded in my PS3 and cash for PS4 and the biggest thing I miss is not playing Red Dead Redemption.
You can buy second hand games, you can borrow/lend games and play them when you have the disc, you have to pay to play online.
Down for anybody else right now?
Wow, that's awesome. Means I can play the PS4 while my flatmates watch nonsense in the living room. Wonder how the key mapping will work and if they'll have mouse compatibility.
I reckon they'll do it like Xbox where you need to be using a PS4 controller.
That must be awkward for Xbox owners, to have to have PS4 controllers too.
fecking good enough for them too.
Ha!
Super Star Wars remastered is available to download on PSN store! Awesome (and hardcore) game!
Don't playstation already have something like this out already?
Only one PS3 model had backwards compatibility. I had a 40GB fat one as my first and it did not support PS2 games, the 80 GB (or 60 GB?) did.
Debating which game to pick up next...
Just Cause 3 (no MP puts a dent in this for me)
Rainbow 6 Siege (only really worthwhile if there are a few getting it)
Star Wars BF (not completely given up on this, but probably not)
I had wanted to get Hitman, but that has been delayed until next year.
Any other games people recommend?

I'll be going with Just Cause 3 as soon as I'm done with Fallout. The map looks incredible.
