Can you fix ps2 classic with a title. PS4 nor PS3!! :)
they wont.. most publisher refuse to add trophy on old PS2 games. You can’t release a game on PS4 without trophy… that explain why Grandia 3 and nos Suikoden 4 as been/will on PS3 only
Elk is way off. People aren’t refusing to add trophies. We already know they’re easy to add to PS2 games.
yes tgey are easy to add, but some publisher like konami refuse to add em. that all lol
@Elk_mistral Likely true, and I believe it’s also because most 3rd-party publishers are not fond of the idea of requiring those who already own these PS2 games either on disc or digitally on PS3 to re-purchase them at full price just to play them on PS4 instead of supporting PS2 discs and allow those who already own them digitally on PS3 to download them on PS4 either for free or for only a small upgrade fee. Which is why I believe there’s more Xbox 360 games coming to Xbox One and not so many PS2 games coming to PS4.
@gameman15 that’s not true at all, the real reason why this PS2 games on PS4 takes a lot of time to be released is because it takes nearly 2-3 months for the small team who handles them to add trophy support to them:

Not to mention all the other added stuff that comes with them, so as you can see it takes effort to make them.
Publishers can’t care less about disc and BC, as long as they make money they will make PS2 emulations for the PS4. Xbox One’s BC doesn’t require any of that, they are just straight ports so that’s why they are being released faster.
I know there used to be a convertor that would allow you to copy your PS2 save data from memory card to the PS3. Would that work with these PS2 classics, allowing you to continue from where you left off, many years ago?
@Soruichi_Kitty
I think you don’t understand how much work goes into putting trophies into a PS2 title let alone a normal game. First someone has to design a trophy set. That means someone has to creatively sit down and decide “what trophies should this game have”. Once decided upon someone has to grope around the binary to tie the trophy to the original games code. This requires an Engineer and we don’t work for cheap. Once this has been established QA needs to test it to make sure it works. This can take months to do since they likely don’t have save states sitting around and they too have to accomplish what the trophy requires. Once that is done a good publisher will focus test whats there (this step will likely get skipped). Then once all is said and done it gets shipped to sony for testing. That costs money too. It probably takes months to bring these titles to PS4 and that is why you don’t see many PS2 titles on PS4. Someone would have to actively create a studio for doing this work like with remasters just to make it happen more frequently. Demand isn’t that high and hte profit margin is likely small. It isn’t like PSOne classics or PS2 classics on PS3, just slap it in an emulator, test, and throw out the door.
@SilverSpg No, the memory card reader does not let you use the PS2 saves with Classics as they create their own “custom” save file for each game. They do not use the virtual PS2 memory cards like the BC PS2 games did on the PS3
Just to put my two sense…I neither asked for nor want trophies. The PS1 and PS2 classics on PS3 was fine. I would have preferred Sony to have done that to the PS4.
Finally, yes publishers are greedy but I think this is more of a Sony greed. Let’s compare PS Now to XB1 BC. With both, you get an 7th gen game to be played on 8th gen console. All the work is on the console maker not the publisher or developer due to emulation. AKA no additional development cost. With XB1 BC, it is possible that the publisher makes no additional money. Because you can buy the game used. With PS Now, the publishers will always make money. Yet, even though PS Now had a head start, XB1 BC has about the same amount of games. Yes, we can debate on quality. But my point is this, the publishers are willing to do something that resulted in NO additional money for them. The best example of this is Rockstar.
Therefore, if Sony would have allowed people who previously bought games digitally on PS3 to be accessible on PS4 either via PS Now or classic, the publishers would have been fine with it. Because they are doing it on XB1. Let me be clear, I am not here to defend publishers. But in this one specific example, this is Sony’s greed.
“Therefore, if Sony would have allowed people who previously bought games digitally on PS3 to be accessible on PS4”
There’s well over 100 PS3 games, more if you add Vita, that you can play on PS4 for free if you owned them previously thanks to Cross Buy support. It’s a great feature that gave me a ton of additional games to play on PS4 when I bought one without considering the stuff that was made only for PS4.
PlayStation Now is not BC nor will it ever be BC, so you’re free to stop obsessing about it in that way.
@gohan16ken, Xbone Backwards compatibility is a Microsoft lie. It DOES NOT EXIST on a X1. There is no emulation. Everything is a port. That’s not BC. The great majority of the titles are those published and owned by Microsoft. Also, you have no idea (and I don’t either) whether or not MS is paying companies to port titles for X1’s “BC” library.
The lousy thing with Xbone fake-BC is that you have to download the port. And you can ONLY save on cloud. If you can only save on cloud, I suspect you can’t play offline. (I haven’t tried that myself). Certainly you can’t save offline.
With X360, you could put select Xbox titles in and it would play them. That was emulation.
With the original launch PS3, you had 100% true backwards-compatibility. I have one (in perfect shape) with a fan mode and a 1 TB HDD. I can play any and all PS2 games on it. For whatever reason (and I would guess price) Sony decided to remove the PS2 chip earlier on and kill BC. A few later models could emulate, but system updates erased that function. Who knows: it could be a licensing thing interfering with making titles BC.
