Sony Working on PS2 Emulation for PlayStation 4
Speaking to Wired, a representative said that, “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.”
This came after a report by Digital Foundry, which examined the Star Wars PS2 titles that shipped with the Star Wars Battlefront PS4 bundle and confirmed them to be running on proprietary emulation software as opposed to being simple ports. It was manifested in the form of an upscaled resolution with black bars allowing for 1080p resolution output on the PS4.
Of course there’s no timeline for the PS2 emulator or how it will exactly work so stay tuned for more details in the coming months.

JTHM Lol they're just trying to keep up with Microsoft. Doubt this will even turn good.
Trying to keep up? Compare the sales of these two consoles.

Pretty funny they're doing this because Xbox are doing it.
I'm just wondering why they're doing it at all. If they can't do Ps3, I can't see this working for Ps2 games. Most console owners now are too young to have ever played Ps2 games. So I think there's gonna be a very small group of people that will bother with this.
But it's just a desperate ploy to do something since Microsoft are spitting out improvements and Sony aren't doing anything so they're trying to look busy.

SpyGamer004 They are just copying the idea of Xbox's Backward Compatibility! Bad Form
They're both "copying" PC also.

Meh not too fascinated by this. Kinda looks like they are trying to keep up with Microsofts backwards compatibility.
