“We are working on utilizing PS2 emulation technology to bring PS2 games forward to the current generation,” a Sony representative told WIRED via email. “We have nothing further to comment at this point in time.”

It seems as if the first PS2 games using this emulation software to run on PS4 are already out: a bundle available now at retail that includes a PS4 console and the Star Wars: Battlefront game also includes a selection of bonus classic games: Super Star Wars, Star Wars: Racer Revenge, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

Cool. Hope they bring some good game forward. Don't care about PS3 games as I already have a PS3 and pretty much any game on it that I want, I already have.

But I guess in the end -- Sort of feels like everyday its harder to stay happy where you are. There are all these ways to look through the fence into your neighbor's yard.

Why even risk it? its safer to stay distant.
Is this because they saw Microsoft did it or do you reckon both consoles thought that it was stupid to not let us have access to our old games?

Cool. Though I find it funny how they have to regurgitate the old shit to keep the ps4 relevant since it still has no games besides Bloodporn.

Not that the old shit wasn't good shit, but the new shit is shit shit.

They're probably doing this because the Xbone has backwards compatibility

The PS4 has sold almost double what the Xbone has

Dont see what sales has to do with anything.

I have a ps4, would rather have some new games than play the old ones again.

Cool beans, mang. I'm really looking forward to playing Jak X again, it's been so long since I played that game. That opening scene with Queens of the Stone Age playing -- blessed.
