Fan Favorite PS2 Games Launching on PS4 Tomorrow

It's not like the price is gonna stay at 15$ forever.
Most PS2 classics started at 10 and got cheaper later on or due sales.
The selection is indeed quite small.

Hope we get some regular updates :/ and an update what happens with PSX classics.

Based on the ff7 port I'm thinking everything on ps4 is required to have full support of the modern PlayStation ecosystem I.e trophies, remote play, upscaled so it's not blurry as hell on hdtvs etc so we won't get classics like we did on previous consoles - I'm fine with that personally but I can understand why some people are disappointed.
 
So, I don't own any classics. Are any of these games on the classics list that people might already own for PS3?

Just curious if its possible at all that when a game on the classic list is set to launch that it might be free for those who own it.

We don't know for sure, but Shuhei's comments have not been positive on the matter.

The GTA games are on PS3 i know for sure, and twisted metal black.

Rogue Galaxy and the Dark Cloud games are definitely not on PS3
 
Some of the games I'd love to replay with trophies etc. that will probably never come to PS4, but one can only hope! Sony pls, just give me one!
Realistically though the two with the best chances of happening would be Revenge of the Sith and BloodRayne 2 since they're already on PS3.

Alright. Thanks for the info. Hopefully we'll get more positive news on the matter tomorrow so people will actually be happier with this.

FF is a special case due the anniversary, at least I hope so.
Well we'll see about it tomorrow hopefully.

PS Blog EU doesn't state any prices... €15 / £12 incoming?

Of course.
Doubt they're gonna make an exception on this...
EU will pay more once again.

OH FUCK I never thought about Spider-Man 2! It'll probably happen with Activision's licensing being as weird as it is, but I would be all over it up-res'd and up-framerate'd. One of my favourite games ever; I own two PS2 discs because I'm afraid that I'll wear one of them out one day :P

Revenge of the Sith and BloodRayne 2 in 1080p? I would take it.
 
Y'all gonna bitch about anything.
I don't see anyone complaining about Wii games going for $15-20 on the Wii U eShop.

You must not have been around when they got announced. Because people were definitely complaining about the price there too. VC prices have always gotten complaints.

If the rights are still in the correct place I wouldnt be shocked to see a lot of those.

PS1 and PS2 classics on PS3 where always a bit of a dumbing ground for random licenced games.

Activision still has the Spider-man license right? I could see it happening if Sony talked to Activision.

And doesn't EA still have a license for the Simpsons? They make that game The Simpsons Tapped Out for mobile.

If Sony talks to Activision about anything Marvel related, I hope it's X-Men Legends 1 and 2.
 
Guess I should not be but I'm surprised at the issues with the price. I mean I could understand if they were just taking PS2 games throwing them up on the store and slapping $15 on to them and calling it a day but it sounds like they are actually putting some work into these games in the process of bringing them over.

I'm def going to buy Rogue Galaxy and then depending on my experience with that (I want to see how the up rendering translates) I will most likely pick up Dark Cloud and War of the Monsters.

I'm not sure what their plans are for what they are going to bring but some games id like to see would include

Def Jam Vendetta

Radiata Stories

Suikoden 5 (fuck konami)

Champions of Norrath

Dragon Quest VIII

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne


Not sure we will get any of those but I'd buy all of them as soon as they went up.
 
I can understand no PS2 disc emulation and even no crossbuy for 3rd party PS2 classics being understandable since Sony don't own these IPs, but to have no crossbuy for 1st party PS2 classics that you already purchased via PS3 is straight up shady. #Not4thePlayers
At least add an upgrade program.

However PS2 emulation is better than nothing at all I guess.
 
I would really love to see Silent Hill games, Suikoden IV, Tactics and V, but Konami is too much of a cunt these days.

Anyone know who did the port job? Sony own effort or the game original developer/publisher?

Ughh Socom crazies in a nutshell. At least this was on topic, usually it's a response to a tweet about someone's family etc. Hopefully Socom never see's the light of day on Playstation again, fuck those people.

I can't even imagine being so wrapped up in a game that fucking old. It's like when you see people freaking out about Smash Melee. It's just kind of sad. Move on.

They aren't ports. They are being emulated.

Oh I've been around, in fact I'm certain people complained, but this being Ninty we tend to suck it up :P I was merely using it in a bit of a comical/sarcastic way.
I feel the same thing will apply here, I mean PS4GAF went crazy over just 1 character being announced for UC4, this is people being on edge cuz PSX '15 is in 12 hours time and they got nothing better to talk or doe for the most part xp
 
Will definitely pick up Rogue Galaxy at launch.

Maaaaybe San Andreas and War of the Monsters, although PS2 era GTA is hard to go back to.

Will buy Persona 3 FES, Nocturne and any other Atlus games if/when they're added. Same goes for NISA and XSEED.
 
how's the up-res done, purely by the emu? what about the trophies?
They are not strictly emulating the hardware, but what it tries to do.
Thus rendering of texture can be handled by GCN texture units and there is no need to emulate everything TEX does internally to get it done with a CPU.

Basic idea for more resolution. (same as with any machine.)
Rendering area is made bigger and co-ordinates of rendered polygons are fitted accordingly. (if needed)
This gives you a nice high resolution version of the same scene.

Basic idea for throphies is to flag a memory location within emulation for a change and link ps4 throphy for it.
 
Sony exchanging all that goodwill they built up since 2013 with a big dollop of shit. And over PS2 games of all fucking things. #4theplayers
 
Just watched the trailer. Why are there black bars on the side of the video? Shouldn't the footage be taking up the whole screen?

Yeah I want socom back badly, but not that bad. Rainbow 6 seems to be filling that void pretty well so far.
 
Dark Cloud, Vice City, Rogue Galaxy and War of the Monsters in 1080p and with trophy support for the price of one PS4 game? That's a steal. I'll instantly buy these games when they're available.

Expecting Disc support is really stupid because they are 10-15 years old games (not like 5-6 years of XBox360 which is still supported) due to licensing issues. Also they are adding very few selected PS2 games with improvements, Trophies and Steaming/SharePlay features which clearly proves that its not easy for them to apply these changes easily to several games at once like emulation, so they are doing some work in order to get these working and its just not emulation. I hope they allow existing users of PS2 classics in PS3 for an upgrade fee to get the cross buy at least even though PS2 classics list in PS3 was very short.
