On Twitter, Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida answered some fan questions, and commented on why Playstation VR and PS2 emulation on PS4 are worth it.
A few weeks ago, Sony officially announced that PS2 emulation is coming to the PS4. A select number of PS2 classics will be made available on the PS4 through an emulation technique, upscaled and with some performance gains.
Games that will be made available include titles such as Dark Cloud 2, Twisted Metal Black, and some classic Star Wars games that debuted on the PS2.
According to Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida however, this shouldn’t be too much a problem since the emulated titles are “much improved” versions of the original game. On top of that, the games come with ‘trophy support” on the PS4.

Yoshida was asked about the technique’s advantage over playing games on the traditional way, after which the Playstation president responded that players “need to experience it to see the difference”. Yoshida added that it feels like “being transported to the game world”.
@cb765 you need to experience it to see the difference, it's like you are transported to the game world
