That's probably coming in the next batch.No Ape Escape?
Not true at all. People really dislike what Nintendo's done with VC on Wii U too. Gonzo the Great posted quiet a bit about it, and I've expressed my disappointment with how stupid the upgrade fees are too. But somehow Sony's found something worse to top that with.
Worst case scenario is no PS2 games on PS4 at all. And let's be honest here, not many made use of PS2 classics on PS3 and even less are going to want to play PS2 games on PS4. It's just an extra option. I mean do you really sit there pining away that you can't play Dark Cloud 2 on PS4? Do you even play it on PS3?
Not if they break the image, which is a no no on official emulators fullstop. On the plus side, they will probably have a "stretch to fit screen" option.

These sound like budget remasters, rather then BC.

I hope Twisted Metal Black is online.
Where are people seeing the prices? I've watched the video a couple times now looking for it, but I couldn't spot it.
edit: Oh, nevermind. I found the prices elsewhere...
15 does seem a little bit high as a first reaction, but I'd pay that much just for the convenience of not having to trudge through the second hand market to get a good disc and trophies and all.
It would be nice for upgrade paths and pricing and whatever, but in the long run I don't think this will really have any impact on the domination that PS4 is doing WW either way.
Hopefully some of the releases are the rare games that are 'asspensive as fuck to get games like what happened with the Tron Bonne game not long ago.

Do you know how many games I've bought from Nintendo due to the way I feel about their digital practices? 0
I've bought hundreds of games on PSN across PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP and Vita. If this is the way Sony want to handle their digital policies going forward do you know how many I'll buy? The number approaches 0

Ridiculous, if you bought the a PS2 game on the PS3 you can't play it on PS4? That goes against all the previous policies regarding PS Classics, if you bought a PS1 game on PS3 you can play it on the Vita or PSP, but for some reason if you bought a PS2 game on the PS3 you can't play it on PS4?
Am I understanding it correctly?
This is a stupid move that hardly earns them more money, this is early PS3 Sony all over again.
Also horrible prices.

I never played Rogue Galaxy so I am excited.

Arc the Lad TotS folks. Don't ignore that when it comes.
Higher res, better performance. If its capped at 30, it'll likely be locked 30. If its unlocked, it'll be solid 60 probably. Atleast that's how it was for the star wars games.
Coming from PS2 for GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas, that's a revelation

Thank fuck I can play PS2 discs uprezzed on PC. People seriously shouldn't accept, and allow Sony to continue sell these games at, such ridiculous prices.
People being so willing to throw their money away on scams like this is exactly why the "Well, vote with your wallet!" defence never makes any sense.

Then you don't remember how ps2 games actually look.
Bit lame that you can't play disc or ps2 classics, or if you have them already maybe a small fee to play this new version.
At the same time I want to know when Bounty Hunter is coming, and if we do get this rumoured Ace Combat announcement I'd buy AC4/5/0 again in a heartbeat. I'm pet of the problem I guess, but God dammit I love those games.
That's not true, the added features these games have are designed to work with their emulator, that is something they can use again in the future on new hardware.
I highly doubt Sony won't utilise BC for the PS5 and have everything on the PS4 running from the get go. It's was probably part of their thinking when they made the architecture jump from the Cell to a more standard tech in x86-64, it makes it easier on developers and it will make it much easier to get backwards compatibility running in the future, they likely won't be switching CPU architectures again in the future any time soon. It's partly why old PC games still work on modern hardware, the core instruction set hasn't changed, and anything that is an issue is much easier to deal with than jumping across architectures like they have from the Cell which worked quite dramatically different.

Yeah, but that is a nerfed version. I am assuming this is the ungutted ps2 version correct? The one with all the songs?
If the Star Wars games are any indication,
They are 4:3, and upscaled to 1080p, but the internal res is far above native 480i and above 720p, their aspect ratio is still the same however.
They are still 4:3 so they don't break the image with widescreen where not supported, but they will likely have a 'fit to screen' option.
Are you acting like Sony cares about disc support to begin with? We knew they didn't from the start.

Count me out. I've already purchased these games on PS3 and 2, Sony won't get my money a third time for the same game because of fuckin trophies. Great for those who missed these games though, I recommend War of the Monsters to anyone who hasn't played it. Great multiplayer fun.
You realize you will see every PS2 game in 1080p as your output on PS4 right?
Given the DF analysis from before it pointed to this being the case.
Also no discount/upgrade path for owners of PS2 classics is shitty maybe with enough pressure they will do something

Probably not, but they definitely don't look like 1080p.

Yeah I'm not jumping in at $15.
Gonna wait for some sales.

NOPE. HUGE NOPE.
I already own these games, Sony. Try harder.
I'll just play them in my fully BC PS3 that's still hooked up to my TV.

Disappointing. Was hoping for a chance to replay LOTR: TTT and LOTR: RotK. Based on these releases, that seems incredibly unlikely.
No Im asking GAF what they would have preferred if an option was given.
I don't see how this could have the songs unless they reacquired the rights and all that. I'm willing to bet that some of the songs are gone.
