SEGA leaks Sony's plans for PS2 and Dreamcast emulation on PS3

Damn all I want is Chuchu Rocket online again with the lobby system functioning. Good times. I felt at home.

I wouldn't mind downloading ps2 and DC titles (that I missed) onto the ps3.

There's mention of a big announcement at the back half of this year, which we now know is the PS3 Slim and price cut. However, there's finally confirmation that Sony is interested in emulating all PlayStation 2 games.

The notes reveal that "SCEA wants to sell all PS2 titles on PSN." Whether this will come as a case by case basis, like the God of War remastering, or that Sony is creating a universal emulator for all PS3 models is unknown. Grand Theft Auto Vice City is one of the titles mentioned.

The publisher has been tasked with providing SCEA a list of titles so that they can choose which games they're interested in having exclusively. It is further added that "if we give them a long period of exclusivity they'll give us more marketing support."

I knew this was gonna happen and cant wait to download ps2 games :D.. i hope to see FFX and will play it all over again if they do it :)

Depends if they are download only or if you can actually use PS2 discs, if it download only then fail but if you can play PS2 games also then :shock:

[QUOTE="aaronmullan"]If true, then PS3 is going to be one mega-gaming machine.supa_badman

I will come out as a full out COW if this happens.

Im a huge Sega Dreamcast fan... think of the possibilities!

POWER STONE 2 ON THE PS3!! WITH ONLINE (!?) Say hello the one of THE best co-op and competitive games EVER!!!

Oh man, then theres Sonic Adventure 2 with all the nostalgia, and we cant forget Crazy Taxi! Those are all games Ive played, but I want to try out so many of the DC that Ive missed.

I hope to hell this is true-- Dreamcast on PS3 with PS2 is a megaton that will annihiliate all other announcements. Oh God Im getting my hopes up! :D

If Powerstone 2 had online in this case... I think I would be buying a PS3 sooner than expected. Unless of course it's around the time than I expected. waynehead895

Me, you, Desert Area! I will attempt to destroy you with Wang-Tang! :twisted:

DC game would be awesome. Power stone 2, chu chu rocket, Shenmue. Think of all the great games that could come to the PS3. I have a BC PS3 and while I don't use it a ton its nice to know that if I ever want to I could play some PS2 classics.

DC games would be a nice feather in their cap for the online games store.

lol im wondering whats the big deal , i already own a bc ps3 , and id rather buy hardcopies and beable to play them ,

not shelling out the extra cash for the same games i bought 5 yrs ago lol ,

they should just release a patch im sure it can be done for ps2 games, they do it for ps1 titles ,

I got a better idea for Sega:

Make a sequel to Sonic CD with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, & Amy present (with the game being in 2D & Amy not being playable, of course).

Then also have the original Sonic CD & make it the European or Japanese version with the Japanese soundtrack as an unlockable bonus.

A true sequel to it after 16 (or 17) years.

Also, have Shenmue 3!
