Why can't I play PS1 classics on PS4?

I mean its pretty ridiculous, I wanted to download some ps1 rpgs i missed out on and I can't play them on ps4.

We don't know.

Why would you want to waste precious gaming hours on your PS4 on games that have been out for well over a decade, some close to two? PS Now will be available soon, so I guess that's something.

Same reason you can't make toast on the PS4.

I've heard the PS4 is too powerful, and a PS1 game couldn't handle it's epicnes.

Isn't that something they're considering for PS Now?

Lol.....

"PS4hasNOgames"

Nice name.

Don't feed the troll.

PS one games will be on PS Now. And as a beta tester, IT'S GREAT!!!!

Whats going to happen mate when the time comes when PS4 is absolutely loaded with games like last gen compared to microsoft lol brilliant, lol Just like Microsoft always thinking of the short term gain and not the long term

Wait until PS Now comes

hey there, whats PS now?

With PS Now comes emulation, which means PS1 and PS2 games will be avaliable for PS4 with trophies most likely and you can play all Sony's games with PS Now for 60 bucks a year. It's like a rental service

@The_Last_Ride: Cool, thanks for the heads up. I'm hyped to see how this turns out.

It's coming out for US this summer and Europe next january

That's an easy question to answer. And that answer is, at least in my book, Dragon Quest VIII. I'd spend another 100 or so precious gaming hours with that game. Just like some songs, women, and cars...there are some games that'll always be considered timeless.
