The PlayStation 2 emulation on the PlayStation 4 is handled with little difference to the PlayStation 3. Some issues on PS3's PS2 emulator were left unfixed on the PlayStation 4. Consequently, the PS4 inherited some of PS3's emulation glitches, and even introduced new ones. The new issues came as a result of PS4's weakness with emulation, which likely resulted in the trade of accuracy for performance. | The PlayStation 2 emulation on the PlayStation 4 is handled with little difference to the PlayStation 3.
