PS3 Won't Enhance PS1 or PS2 Games

**brainpan** · October 23rd, 2006, 02:33

I don't really understand why SONY would not just add some filtering to PS1/PS2 games. Maybe it's an issue with keeping compatibility high. Does anyone know if the PS3 has PS1/PS2 hardware onboard or will it use emulation to play old games? Also, I would not be surprised if SONY added it later in some sort of firmware update.

ALSO, could someone clarify how the PS3 might be able to enhance PS2 games other than displaying at a high resolution?

Resoultion and texture filtering is about all they could do without messing with the code of the old games.

oh.. and ripping off the people with ridiculous prices for next gen systems which arent backwards compatible goddamn it!! i was REALLY looking forward to at least a slight change in graphics.. especially FFVII! *sigh*

what i meant to say was graphics improvements for older games. not backwards compatible

FFVII would look terrible with hi-def 3d and 320x240 backgrounds. How about the Wii, are n64 games 640x480 on the Wii? do the nes games have Filtering?
