Sony Thread

Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

Eurogamer recently received the Special Edition Star Wars Battlefront PS4, along with the code for four downloadable titles: Super Star Wars, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, Star Wars: Racer Revenge and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.

When the team went to boot up the three old PS2 titles, something strange happened. An old PS2 logo came up in "all of its poorly upscaled glory when you boot each title." Eurogamer reports that there was also a system in place to emulate a PS2 memory card to save your spot in the games and a prompt at the start of the emulation that told them that the select and start buttons can be accessed by pressing on the left and right of the DualShock 4's trackpad.

If these titles were ports of the original games, there'd be no need for the prompts or memory card emulation: the games would work natively with the PS4 software, leading the team to believe that what they were looking at was the first titles to receive backwards compatibility on the PS4.

What's even more interesting about the possible emulator is that it upscaled the titles from their original resolutions - 512 x 448 and 640 x 448 - to a new native resolution on the PS4 of 1292 x 896.

Hands-On With PS2 Emulation On PlayStation 4




update

A Sony representative sent us the following statement in response to our query about the emulator's existence:

"We are working on utilizing PS2 emulation technology to bring PS2 games forward to the current generation. We have nothing further to comment at this point in time."

Rumors were recently doing the rounds that Sony may adopt an upgrade approach to new iterations of the PlayStation console rather than release a fully-fledged PS5, but now President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Shawn Layden, has confirmed that a PlayStation 5 will arrive at some point.

In an interview with German gaming site, Golem.de – following a statement about the PS4 Pro approach to console upgrades – the question was posed: "This means that you are more likely to rely on a real Playstation 5 - whenever that will be?"

Layden replied: "Yes. It will probably be some time".

If we follow the PS release timelines, it should be in 2019 or 20 (6-7 years).

PS1 was released in 1994
PS2 was released in 2000
PS3 was released in 2006
PS4 was released in 2013

Yeah, I'd be in favor of that too. I just got my PS4 pro and would like to enjoy it for a few more years before being phased out :???:
