The Japanese site ITmedia put's online some interesting images concerning backwards compatibility of the Playstation 3. The images shows the PS2 game Fantavision being played on the PS3.
Join Overtime Heroics as we take a look through the game releases that accompanied the PS2's launch in Japan, March 2000.

There have been a tonne of handheld ones on android, 3ds, psp, java phones (back in day) as well. The android ones are surprisingly sound
I know. I already have 3DS, PSP, and Vita as well. After RR7 i expected a better version (PS4 version to be exact). 3DS and Vita version aren't the upgrade i expected and i'm not interested in playing game on android device. I just don't like it.
Oh, by the way, a few years ago, a gaming website in my country interviewed Bandai Namco representatives about why there's no RR in PS4/XBO launch. They chuckled, then answered that they (Bandai Namco) had a discussion with other companies as well and concluded that consoles are going to die so they didn't plan to invest as heavily on consoles as before. Then they realized they were wrong.
That's why i hope for RR8 on PS5 launch.
I think I only picked up TTT at the PS2 launch.
All I remember was that it sucked, but I played it anyway. Then I unlocked a bowling game and found the REAL reason to play the game.
I didn't get a ps2 on launch, but I managed to snatch one later on in the year. I got Time Splitters and Kessen.
Not a bad way to start the gen.
As the first review of the New Year, it's fitting that this game is about fireworks. Certain games have fond memories attached yet upon revisiting them; sometimes you have to wonder why. In the end, is Fantavision worthy of a current gen port?
During the latest episode of the PlayStation Blogcast, Sony confirmed that Fantavision is the next PlayStation 2 game coming to PlayStation 4, releasing on December 22 in North America, complete with Trophies and 1080p up-rendering.
A picture like that doesn't mean anything, I mean I could put a PC DVD in my XBOX 360 and say now that's really retro, we also now play all PC games. BTW the next XBOX gaming system probably will play all PC games as well. See, I just said that, is it true? Probably not but it is being talked about.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that ps3 will be most ps1,2 compatible but to show these scratched system bad pics isn't anything. Not anything news worthy anyways.
If Fantavision works then I see no problem with the system being a 100% backwards compatible. You can't get any older than one of the games that shipped in the beginning with the PS2.
Does anyone know if there will be any graphical improvement for the backwards compatible titles? Will they take advantage of Anti Aliasing for example? Will they be upconverted etc?
If so I may have to dig into the piggy bank as I never had a PS2, but would LOVE to play some of the back catalog with graphical improvements to boot.
they should make ps2 games go on a higher RES( by forcing the GPU to output PS2 games to a higher res then the PS2 already has....it might increase the gfx)
It's been stated numerous times that PS3 will output PS2 games at higher resoultions. Probably 720p or even 1080p.
