Saw some gameplay on Youtube over the weekend and just thought "No"
It looks really good but "No"

I know I'm going to download it but wish I could convince myself not to.

RUMOUR: PS1/PS2 Games Coming to PS4 via Emulation, not PS Now

A well-placed source working with Sony's streaming service reveals that only PlayStation 3 titles are currently scheduled to use the "gameplay over IP" cloud service. PS1 and PS2 titles are set to follow the more conventional route of running locally under emulation on Sony's latest console - but with the possibility of HD visual enhancements.

While Sony effectively phased out hardware emulation of previous platforms during the early stages of the PS3 era, it has worked consistently on opening up the PlayStation back catalogue to publishers via software emulation and PSN downloads. Internally, PlayStation 3's firmware contains emulators for PS1, PS2 and even the handheld PSP, while Vita is capable of running PS1 and Vita titles virtually flawlessly using the same technology. In short, there's a proven codebase that can only get better for the vastly more powerful PS4.

Our information suggests that the same internal emulator strategy is planned for PlayStation 4, and we understand that Sony is actively pursuing the ability for older titles to run without the blurry upscaling seen on PS3, suggesting that native HD resolutions are being targeted. Assuming this intention carries through to final code, we'll be seeing an effect similar to the resolution scaling seen on unofficial PC emulation of Sony's consoles, as well as a great many of the "HD remasters" we saw on PS3 - where original assets were rendered at a higher resolution, often without any actual remastering at all.

At least this way, titles we already own should be tied to our account and available to re-download.

Its 10 years since need for speed underground as you can see with is coming out people dont wont a game like that as customising cars is so pimp my ride at this stage

You mustn't be in touch with the NFS fan base. Besides the realism of graphics and physics in racing games, customization is the most sought after aspect in a game.

Is there any way of signing in as invisible or anything like that on psn? Or is it either your signed in ir your not?

Elder Scrolls Online will not require a PS Plus subscription according to Eurogamer.

Varik · 28-01-2014 9:51pm

Still requires a normal sub ($15 p.m), the only way I'll be paying another sub is maybe for the new cheaper SOE sub which covers all their games (planetside, everquest,....).

Anyone have a link to the PS4 browser store?

It's the same store as the PS3/PSP/PS Vita, but here https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-ie/home/games

I can't think of any PS2/PS1 I haven't already purchased in various PSN/HD collection purchases.

I changed my privacy setting so my name doesn't show up just my gamer tag. The thing is I can still see my name on my profile, does that mean other people can see it or is it just me?

Only people you accept name requests from can see your real name on PSN.

Two months today since the PS4 launch in Europe.....and still no new firmware. I doubt we'll see anything until Feb. 22nd now.......

There have been two firmware releases since launch (1.51 and 1.52, not including 1.50 - the launch-day patch).

Listening to the Beyond podcast, Greg Miller suggested that there will be another PS4 firmware released before the Japanese launch also.

Patience, young padawan.

You will be able to stream games from a giant PlayStation that is the size of a two bedroom house and play them on your little PlayStation.

Not sure if this relates to the topic on this thread but I'm not going through 64 pages to find out I'm just wondering does anyone know if Sony will allow you to play your burned DVD-R/DVD-RW on the PS4 in the near future I was really disappointed when I found out it couldn't and I actually found it very hard to believe considering how excellently my PS3 ran the exact same type of discs!

I thought it was the Xbox that didn't support those disks and that the PS4 did.
