While Microsoft works to enable gamers to play Xbox 360 games on Xbox One at no extra charge, Sony’s going a route that might make a bit more cash.
PlayStation 2 emulation is officially coming to PlayStation 4 tomorrow. Sony’s official YouTube channel for Europe, Africa, India, and the Middle East has just published a trailer that details how the old games will work on the company’s current-generation console. The video shows games like Mark of Kri, PaRappa The Rapper 2, and more running on a PS4 with visuals upgraded to 1080p high-definition and full trophy support. But this is specifically not “backward compatibility.” Your old PS2 discs won’t work in a PS4. Sony still wants you to buy the games again even if you purchased certain PS2 games digitally on PS3.
