Sony Charging For PS2 Emulation On PS4 Makes Sense – Developer
GamingBolt spoke to Norwind Interactive’s Brandyn Engbrecht, who is currently working on the sandbox title Astraea for the PS4, about his take on PS2 emulation and whether it would be a success even with Sony charging money for digital PS2 games.
He stated that, “I am thrilled that the PS4 will be able to emulate PS2 games! I believe that the more games on a platform, the better. I’m sure Sony had to pay it’s developers to make the emulation software work – so charging money only makes sense. I hope it’s a success!”
Though comparisons could be made to the Xbox 360 emulator on Xbox One, it’s hard to really draw parallels since the former is one generation behind while the PS2 is two generations behind. Also, Microsoft is offering the opportunity for old Xbox 360 games to work on the Xbox One though it needs to build in support for said games with the help of developers.

I'd so pay for PS2 emulation. Playing games like Persona 3 and 4 on the PS3 sounds great.

meh, if they want to be like that charging me for a game I already own, I'll just emulate it for free on the PC. I don't play those type of greed games.

Damocles666lolohnoeszsz Honestly charging makes sense because the emulator isn't some simple thing that just runs the PS2 game and it's original assets/etc. Shit the games that are emulated on the PS4 run at a higher base resolution and higher frame rates than the PS2 versions. Not to mention the trophy support for the PS2 titles so there's that.
I mean what most of the games will be like anywhere from $10-$15? For what you get I think that sounds like a fair price.
Or you could just get it for FREE on PC which is just a fully working one without paying
Not everyone has a PC that can run a fully functional emulator. Not to mention downloading emulated games these days is pretty sketchy. Plus the games you DL don't have any optimization done to them unless you use mods. Not to mention the no achievement support so...yeah. PC emulators are only good for specifics not every game is better on PC.
