"Rather excitingly, the quality of emulation is rather good, too. As you can see in the video above, the PS4's PS2 emulator is running at a much higher resolution than the original PS2. Original PS2 titles usually output at a native resolution of either 512×448 or 640×448. The emulated PS2 games on the PS4, though, appear to have a native resolution of 1292×896, and then a final pillarboxing and upscaling to 1080p. The total pixel count is around 4× the original."

That's pretty cool :) Here's the video if anyone is interested:


It's such a shame that they don't make consoles backwards compatible nowadays!
 
XB1 is backwards compatible with the new dash update.
 
I'd really like to play some of the older MGS games, so this may be my route in :D.

Ah I didn't realise that! We've got a PS4 so not familiar with the XB.

Its literally just happened. The new dash was out earlier this month - a couple of weeks ago. But preview members (beta) had it for a month or so before that. :)

I've not tried it yet, I chopped in all my old 360 games along with the console not long after I got the XB1.
 
Yeah I did mention this a while ago. Quite restricted as to what is available at present. If memory serves me well it is only 104 games?
