ATTENTION Final Fantasy X HD CONFIRMED for PS3 and PS Vita

[Mirage]

As I've already said, there's emulators that can get the game to run better than it ever did on its native platform. I do this with SNES RPGs all the time and I've seen a friend play FFTactics, a game with a ton of sprites, and it looked incredible on his monitor, which, again, has far more pixels and higher resolutions than current HDTVs.

People play FFVII-IX in high definition resolutions every day, just not in an official retail package.

And Sony already made a PS2 emulator, 80GB models used them, whereas the original 60GB did it directly through hardware. I think they took it out because PS2 sales weren't quite done yet, and they wanted to have projects like these.

So his emulator recreated high resolution, not interpolated sprites from scratch, based on low res sprites? He should show this technology to a game developer, he could make millions of dollars, cause this would be nothing short of ground-smurfing-breaking tech.

Secondly, no, the early PS3s did not rely on software emulation to play PS2 games. They included actual PS2 hardware to perform this function, exactly because they had not been able to develop software that could successfully and efficiently emulate PS2 games. And are either still not able to, or simply do not want to because of some retarded corporate decision. This hardware was removed from later PS3s in order to cut costs, or so Sony claims, and therefore we no longer get that feature.
