More information due at PlayStation Experience, we assume.Dark Cloud will be one of the PS2 titles Sony Computer Entertainment brings to PlayStation 4 via PS2 Emulation, and said emulation won’t support PS2 Classics purchased on PlayStation 3 or PS2-formatted discs, a leaked video reveals.
Twitter user @BradazKing noticed the video, which the PlayStation account published and quickly removed, which features Dark Cloud gameplay on PlayStation 4 and the following description:
