PS4 Won’t Support PS2 Emulation via Disc, Dark Cloud is Leaked

It seems like Sony Computer Entertainment is not looking to support PS2 emulation on the PlayStation 4 via a physical disc, despite fan demand.

The news comes via a leak where the publisher mistakenly uploaded a video confirming the original Dark Cloud for PS4 via PS2 emulation, which got spotted by Twitter user @BradazKing, who noticed the video.


The video showed off Dark Cloud running on a PlayStation 4, and had a very interesting description:

Gameplay footage from Dark Cloud PS2 game on the PS4 system. Experience Dark Cloud with 1080p up-rendering and Trophies. Additional enhanced features include Shareplay (Active PS Plus membership may be required), Remote Play, Activity Feeds, and Second Screen support for game manuals through the PS Vita system or PlayStation App.

Copyright 2011 Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Dark Cloud is a trademark of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. PS2 Classics and PS2-formatted discs are incompatible with the PS4 system.

It’s worth pointing out this also confirms those who have purchased PS2 Classics via the PlayStation 3 will also be ineligible for this new type of emulation. The above image is a thumbnail from said video that was grabbed before the video itself was taken down.

Sony’s annual PlayStation Experience is this weekend – so we’re expecting to hear more about this at that time.
