Spielt gerade: GT7 | 60fps FTW
[Speculation - Misleading Title]PS2 classics are finally happening.
Spiel zeigt PS2 Kontroller, hat kein Widescreensupport, sind zumindest Hinweise auf Emulation. Oder einen schnellen Port .

So, a bit of backstory. You have may have remembered that a while back, Sony revealed that the Star Wars PS4 bundles would include, alongside Battlefront. 4 classic Star Wars games, 1 SNES {Which we'll get onto later} and, more importantly, 3 PS2 games.
So, they came out today. Albeit exclusive to the bundle. While i don't own the bundle, i was able to find a Twitch streamer {This dude: http://twitch.tv/adrian595juan So go and thank him for this discovery. his PSN ID is the same as his Twitch ID. So you can also check that if you want proof he was actually playing it.} streaming it.
So... What i did learn from him?
The game still shows the PS2 Controller in the options menu! {Sorry for the bad quality.}
I highly doubt Sony would approve of a port so lazy, that it still shows the PS2 controller in menus. So most likely, it's running on a PS2 emulator. A PS2 emulator that just so happens to have been heavily rumored since launch. With evidence like...
TL;DR: The PS2 Star Wars games in the PS4 bundle appear to be running on the heavily rumored PS2 classics emulator, and their release outside the bundle has been suspiciously delayed.
Edit: Since the thread just reached NeoGAF, i suppose i should take some time to answer a few questions from there.

- A patent from Sony, specifically for Trophy Support in PS1/PS2 classics. One of the two new features touted for these Star Wars games.
- A rumor from Eurogamer that happened a few months after, touting that the PS1/PS2 games would feature higher resolution graphics. Which was the other touted feature.
- and most importantly, PEGI had recently rated a batch of PS2 games {Specifically, Ape Escape 2, Dark Cloud 2, and Twisted Metal: Black} as coming to PS4.

Wait, do they actually run at a higher resolution? I'll definitely pick up Bounty Hunter if they've put some work into it.
Seems like it, while they didn't change the aspect ratio on any of these (So no added Widescreen) There's a screenshot that got leaked on Twitter several hours before i found the stream: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CT4wDZ8VAAAR9-b.png:orig Which looks like it's rendering at a higher resolution than the original. Doesn't seem there's any anti-aliasing, though. Though that might just be Twitter compression screwing up the image. Here's that dude's twitter profile: https://twitter.com/ExtremeGamer/status/666022632429498369
I didn't think it was nice to copy and paste the users whole post, I'll just add yours to the op
No dude, i don't really care. The other dude's post seems like a better explanation. though.
It just proves that they have a working emulator and that the game is an exact disc iso. The games I assume are wrapped in an emulator similar to the Arcade Archives. Having trophies shows that they are able to watch memory addresses just like the Arcade Archives.
Really though? You think they'd just make a PS2 emulator for those 3 titles and absolutely nothing else? I highly doubt Sony would just leave it dormant. Especially considering the PEGI ratings for other PS2 titles on PS4.

None say "PS2 Classic" etc, but when you boot it up, the PlayStation 2 logo pops-up like it did on the original system. It's definitely using a PS2 wrapper, and performance seemed really good in what I played. 'Select' and 'Start' are mapped to the right and left side of the touchpad as in the past, and the Share button works for both screenshots and video
