Is this year the time for PS1 on PS4 games?

Last year a survey was released where Sony asked users to vote for features they most wanted on PS4. These included folders, online notifications, the ability to appear offline, PS1 games on PS4 and PS2 games on PS4.

We have already got the PS2 games on PS4, alongside many of the other features outlined above, but we still do not have PS1 emulation.

It is expected these would work in the same way - they won't be backwards compatible and would be upscaled to 1080p with trophy support. Thus needing a separate purchase from PSN to play the game. I am personally fine with this but backlash was strong when the service for PS2 games first started. The question is, should they do the same approach with PS1 games now? Or do you want them to get more PS2 games first?

If you already bought PS1 on PS3 you should get those games for free, no debate. And I hope they do, then I might be able to part with my PS3.

I can see why you should, think its just not possible from a technical standpoint.

PS2 could play PS1 games, can't see why the same can't be done from a digital point.

PS1 game support would be cool. I'd honestly rather see more new PS4 games then going back to older ones though...

I'm sure they have different teams to work on PS1/PS2 games.

Yeah there is only a small team working on PS2 games for the PS4, so its not like it is taking up resources which would be making new PS4 games.
