The release accompanied little fanfare that left gaming experts wonder about the quietness of the move given that the console maker could have earned appreciation from its loyalists.

The reason you can tell they are being run through an emulator? Firstly the system uses an emulated storage system to replace the old 8MB memory cards you desperately searched for hours before your friends came over to play. Bundled inside a single pack via download only, three of these games are however from an older generation, the generation of the PS2. If you were eagle-eyed you may notice that the PS4 has a new Star Wars bundle featuring four games Super Star Wars, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, Star Wars: Racer Revenge and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. So why would Sony release their PS2 emulator without any real declaration and celebration?

Each generation of consoles comes with some dilemma, should we let you play the last generation? While new hardware and software can let you play the games at a faster speed with upscaled graphics, the same features mean that bringing them up to date requires more work than they are deemed worth.
