PS2 Emulation confirmed for PS4 by Sony

I can confirm that. I played Jedi Starfighter on my ps4 as I waited for Battlefront to download. I no doubt would have loved the game had I played it a decade and a half ago. Such as it was though it felt very rough, even compared to Rogue Leader. It was pretty smooth emulation though.

Eight PS2 games are being added to PS4 tomorrow to commemorate PlayStation's 20th anniversary.

On top of adding these evergreen titles to Sony's latest console, the console manufacturer worked with the original developers to add Trophies to each game. "Each title's Trophy set has been carefully developed in conjunction with feedback from the original creators to be sure that they capture the spirit and feeling of each game," said SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida

Furthermore, each title will be up-rendered in 1080p and include the usual PS4-specific features like Remote Play, Live Broadcast, Share Play, Activity Feeds, and Second Screen support for game manuals via the Vita or PlayStation App.

Yoshida said that Sony will bring more PS2 games to PS4 with "new releases on a regular basis."
