PS2 San Andreas is still on the Australian store. Also the GTA Trilogy is also still available and that contains the PS2 version.

Sony confirms PS2 emulation coming to PS4
- Thread starter Edge_Maverick
- Start date
Because publishers are stupid is why.
My cynical mind envisions that they want to sell what they have already made, not something apart of someone else's ecosystem
Is Australia getting the 'improved' San Andreas? I just bought the trilogy last month, partially in hope of eventually getting PS4 emulation. Just disappointed to see it missing from the store. Especially disappointed after hearing about the mixed reception to the 360 'remaster'.

bandai namco isn't always stupid. hell, i'd say sometimes they're confident I guess, harada's making tekken 7 for psvr and summer lesson.
but that's besides the point.
what do you mean, a part of someone else's ecosystem?
They want to sell the game they made in 2011, not the game they made in 2000, provided by PSN where Sony gets apart of the profit stream.

Ok well Sony and Bandai Namco or at least Namco, have a pretty good relationship. Tekken was exclusive for a long time, Ps4's the first platform T7 was announced for even though it'll probably be out on all of them.
Well for me personally if they remastered Tekken Tag again like ffs10/10-2 got remastered twice, I'd pay for it again because I love Tekken Tag that much.
I just hope if they do they'd fix the ending music. They fucked it up in hybrid. But yeah, they probably won't because I feel like it flopped.
Can I just say: FUCK YEA CHAMPIONS AND DARK ALLIANCE! Love those games. You're A-OK by me man.
No extra work is required. Trophies are tagged and created by the emulator itself if their patent is to be believed.
That's not entirely true. theres more manual involvement.
Also that's not the link you want. This one is:

Where do you see any indication that manual work is required? Must've missed that part.
Putting PSP Classics on the PS4 would not discourage Vita sales, it would encourage them.
There's loads of active PS4 users, giving them access to buy PSP games with crossbuy and crossplatform cloud saves would encourage them to grab a handheld that would allow them to take those games with them.
It wouldn't have a big impact on Vita sales, but it would be a positive.
Are people suggesting the opposite under the impression that there are a significant number of people on the cusp of buying a Vita but waiting to see if PSP classics ever get made available for the PS4?
Edit: I still hope that Sony not only allow you to play previously digitally bought PS1/PS2 classics on the PS4, but also (at least Sony's own published) PS2 HD collections released for PS3. As in, I bought ICO & SOTC HD from PSN, since obviously that is a bespoke PS3 remaster it won't ever work on PS4, but they could grant me access to the original PS2 releases of these games to play via emulation on PS4 at no extra cost.

Someone has to determine which disc access triggers equal earning a trophy, what that trophy is called, the description, it's level (bronze, silver, gold), the artwork, and to test them.

Why not sell both? The latter isn't a substitution for the former. In fact, over in Xboxland publishers have realized that old games are such good promotion for new ones that they're giving BC games away for free with newer entries. I swear, the commentary on every thread about this issue is so disconnected from actual business realities.
Who knows? Why does Disney disallow KH on the PSN store every single time even though they'd obviously get free money?
Publishers, are dumb.
i'll gladly eat a crow for that, but i'm not keeping my hopes up at all.

As a new ps4 owner and someone who still has their ps2 hooked up right next to it, what does this mean for me? Will this be download only or will I be able to actually use my own games? Better yet, will I be able to transfer saves with the USB memory card adapter I have sitting next to my ps2?
It doesn't mean anything for you yet. This thread is pure speculation. There hasn't even been an official announcement that it's happening at this point. Any questions like those are better left for when something has been announced.
We don't know anything yet. Its all speculation.

taken from the official PS4 manual
This is what pisses me off the most about Singstar, so many PS2/3 discs with songs on, yet Sony refuse to let us get to them.
Look like it might be the PS1/PS2 on PS4 up-rendering patent

This is a general resolution upscale smoothing patent. Who knows where it will be used.

Speculation? This shit was confirmed weeks ago, they've been selling games for some time. Please stop posting here

Yes it is download only, no you can't transfer old saves
The post you're quoting is from December 1st.

Have they ported Yakuza 2 yet? I need it 
It's quite laughable (or rather, sad) that a patent like that was granted. The current US-patent system is a joke.

We're at the part where the games trickle once every 4 months
That's not up scaling it's up rendering
