def jam vendetta would be first, gotta get the 1st out then the godly FFNY after people buy the first
no one will buy Vendetta if FFNY is there, EA knows
Yeah, I feel like $10 is the sweet spot. How much do the GTAs go for normally on steam?
You answered your own question. Why would they bother setting up disc based BC for those people who aren't going to pay into their ecosystem?
That's their mindset.
Its the same mindset of a company who took out hardware BC from models of a console that previously had it via disc based BC and then set up PS Classics system to get people to buy many of the same games they already had on a disc.
That company was Sony...there is a precedent for this, and people can't say they weren't aware of the possibility.
I'm honestly not surprised by what they did. But i would like a digital loyalty program initiative. Even nintendo could do that.
Same, I think it's arrogant as hell to create an announcement trailer that basically rubs salt in the wound of veteran PS gamers who own at least some of these games but are expected to shell out $10-$15 more just to play them on newer hardware instead of just popping in your own copy and playing it.
Having said that, I don't expect them to do anything. They knew what people wanted and they ignored it, even as their closest competitor created BC for select newer gen games and offered it free for people who owned the games.

Like an idiot, I got rid of all my PS2 games, so I'm OK with rebuying them. It's actually cheaper than buying a used PS2 copy.
Now please bring the Harry Potter games and Star Wars: Battlefront II. I need a nostalgia overload.

They should just translate the Y1/2 remaster and then do Kiwami instead. Or not

Will buy Mark of Kri and Dark cloud. Both were fantastic games well worth the 15 bucks. Although Dark Cloud feels a little "unfinished" next to Dark Cloud 2
Hmm. That's probably coming, now that I think of it.

$9.99 and i believe they have been lower during the sales.
Yeah true. development and trophies being added do take extra work.
As far as disc based though... i would use it... all the time. i have a HUGE collection of PS2 games, a lot of which i never got around to finishing... lots and LOTS of RPGs/JRPGs
I used my PS3's backwards compatibility all the time... and bought tons of PS2 discs over the life of the PS3 (only stopping when my MGS4 PS3 got nuked and ended my backwards compatible ps3) so now im sitting on a huge collection of PS2 games that i cant play well... (i use PCSX2, but its not very smooth on my PC)

Yes, it's really good. There are plenty of detailed breakdowns of what it's like as well, if you've got particular questions about it.
i guess.. it just sucks because MS let us have disc based BC for NEWER games... i dont see why sony thought it would be okay to not at the very least give us proper disc based PS2 BC... kinda a step backwards from their initial "competition" with Xbox's features...
It's pretty selective, to be fair, in both cases.
You're gaining significantly more in the PS2 scenario, I'd say. The performance of 360 games on Xbox One isn't 1:1, sometimes running a bit dodgy. The PS2 to PS4 situation gives you a frame rate/stability boost, improved visuals, trophies that didn't exist before, and share play.

What the hell? Do you have to be so insulting?
Any you're quoting some forum post from well over a year ago.
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2014/09/09/support-for-the-psp-psn-store-to-be-removed/
Read the UPDATE:
Sony has issued an official statement to us which you can read below.
As of September 15, 2014, we closed the PlayStation®Store for PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) in European and PAL regions. PSP users will still be able to purchase PSP content from the Sony Entertainment Network Online Store as well as redownload content they purchased in the past from the download list on their PSP systems.”
Here are Sony's official directions:
https://www.playstation.com/en-au/g...ontent/how-to-download-purchases-to-your-psp/
To download your purchases from your PSP download list:
On the XMB Menu, go to > [PlayStation Network] > [Account Management] > [Transaction Management] > [Download List].
Select [Download List] and press (X button).
Choose the content you want to download and press (X button).
The item will download to your PSP system.
Once the content has been copied go to [Games] or [Video]* > [Memory Stick] to install or view your content.
So what were you saying ?
They don't care about disc BC to that extent. Yoshida himself said so remember?
But they do care about digital emulation, cause that would rake in the dough for them to control prices and drip feed games to newer players who don't own the original hardware or software.

Nice. Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits looked quite good in the ps2 on ps4 trailer, never got around to throwing that in PCSX2 to see what it would look like.
That was a cool game, I'd be interested in playing it again eventually.

I imagine it was supposed to be a PSX announcement but after leaks and people's expectations they figured the reaction would be......well, this
Better to get any negativity out of the way before the conference I'd assume

For them to re-work games making them full 1080p, along w/ adding trophies and other features isn't just a straight rom dump and charging $10 like last gen. This has more to it which is why they are more expensive. I rather pay $5 more for updated standards on the games personally.

There was a precedent set though where you buy them digitally and they go to the next home console, it started with PS3 where......wait

Shadow of Rome is my all time second favorite game from Capcom(first being RE4). Awesome awesome game, puzzles, two different characters with different play styles(Agrippa the gladiatorial guy while Octavianus is the more stealth using pebbles to distract guards guy). Brilliant brilliant game, fantastic boss battles yo.

Same. I'd love to play those games again.

Math is right, but is that a fair trade? You would forgo a beautiful current generation game in favor of 4 games from 10 years ago that looks a little better than the original? That you probably have already played, and may just boot up once and never go back to?
That's the thing though, we've had a few last gen digital games come over, like Brothers off the top of my head, and it was not discounted or brought over, just a full price game again. All the remasters were brought over as new games and people are fine. I definitely can understand the disappointment of not having PS2 games already owned not being carried over, but I don't remember when they said they would carry over. That might be something I missed, though. I think it's the rumor that they will be played from the disc and now that the rumor turned out to be untrue, this is the backlash, I guess?
But the prices aren't that horrible. Let's see how they play, and then judge the prices. The Star Wars games run really well, so maybe it does justify the price in some cases.

Seeking audience's attention, they'd throw you weapons/meat, meat on one hand to give you health with each bite and a scimitar on the other for mutilation. Shadow of Rome was an underrated gem of a title from Capcom for the PS2.
