Looks like the new batch of emulated games they're adding aren't getting any resolution boosts.

 

[RagnarokIV]

I bought Sly and fired it up quickly before leaving for work - it looked blurry as shit at first glance. I'm assuming it's the same.

 

[Aion002]

Why would anyone want to play that?

I guess Jim was right... In a way...

 

[Edellus]

The title says underworld but the tweet says legend.

Aye, mixed it up. Will ask mods to fix it.

 

[Bloobs]

 

[Mownoc]

Pretty sure it's a glitch with the PS2 emu. Sly explicitly states up rendering in its store page but has the same problem.

As for the price $30 is crazy for tomb raider. It's £16.99 in the UK and sly is only £7.99.

 

[tommib]

I got the PS3 trilogy for free on disc at a used products store in the Netherlands. I asked how much? They said just take it.

Guess I’m keeping it! Love my PS3.

 

[GreatnessRD]

I can't believe I survived as long as I did on console.

 

[lh032]

underwhelming

 

[tommib]

So these titles will be 30 USD? WHAT?

 

[Dazraell]

This is released for 30 dollars? Oh boy

LOL Primal PS2 running on PS4 is up rendered to 720p (it shows) at least... either it is an exaggeration or a regression (possible if they put a team of less than competent devs on it and rushed them).

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Prices are up to the publishers. Legend is that price, the others aren't.

 

[Generic]

Remember when Sony said the price hike of the PS+ would increase the quality of the service?

 

[xHunter]

So these titles will be 30 USD? WHAT?

Its 20€ in Europe, unless i missed something, the US price should be lower, no?

 

[Majormaxxx]

For fucks sake!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

So these titles will be 30 USD? WHAT?

Lance is Aussie so the price he mentions in his tweet is most likely in AUD and not USD.

 

[Majormaxxx]

PC remains best option. Looks awesome at 1080p/1440p etc

Next best is ps3, followed by 360/one which is sub 720p and blurry but not 480p blurry.

You had one job...

 

[Tarin02543]

For the payers

 

[Esppiral]

And the worst version of the game, no less bravo Sony!

 

[tommib]

It’s 20 EUR in Europe.

One dollar per frame you get.

That's not what they said. Why do people repeat it ad nauseum? Their message basically was worded with a continue to provide quality, which is exactly no increase at all. It sounds a wee bit better, but essentially just means: it will cost more for the very same service, continue.

And adding PS5 streaming, adding VR2 games, adding some (abysmal) PS2 emulation is factually increasing the quality or at least extending the quantity. I also think the number of games has increased over time. They usually added more games than what they removed. But don't quote me on that, I might be wrong.

 

[adamsapple]

I don't see the page up on the US PSN website listing the price but I imagine Lance would know. Let's see.

The quality of the PS+ plummeted since the price hike, the games became worse.

[Punished Miku]

$20 isn't that unusual for a 360 / PS3 title. Even Otogi was $20 when relisted last year. There's sales I'm sure.

 

[adamsapple]

It's not live in the US store yet, or at least I can't find it.

 

[wvnative]

All 3 sly games had a weird blur effect on PS2 that could be distracting. In regards to sly it's probably not the emulator.

 

[LordCBH]

Why am I not surprised Sony fucked it

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Gonna look stunning on those 4K 75" OLEDs.

 

[TheGodfather07]

When the fuck will sony understand that playing such old games with low resolution on modern TVs looks like total ass? Having them at higher resolution brings a whole new life to the game on modern TVs. Good thing i have a series X for BC and emulation.

 

[Kilau]

I enjoyed Tom Braider Underwear but these PS2 emulated games that have native PC versions aren't for me.

 

[willothedog]

Just tried on my phone. 1120P with post processing runs fine at 30 using nethersx2. Why is their emulator shit?

I can't agree with that.
The PS3 did render at a higher resolution. It was native 720p versus 1024x600 on Xbox.
But the PS3 version used Quincunx AA, which completely destroyed the texture quality. Whereas Xbox 360 used MSAA, which had no effect on textures.
I think the PS3 version also used some form of bloom, which didn't really help the image either.

If they had just left off the AA entirely on PS3, it would have looked better than the 360 version, even with jagged edges on geometry.

Is that Legend or Underworld? I didn't really keep up with those PS2/3 era TR's before the Survivor reboot.

Legend.

Legend, it's the one they're talking about that on the store

 

[dotnotbot]

Imagine making Premium tier on a subscription service and then release 480p games on it

 

[BlackTron]

Acceptable for $60 games

 

[BennyBlanco]

$30?

 

[tommib]

$30?

It’s 20 in Europe. Should be less in the US.

 

[ManaByte]

That’s why they removed 8K from the console box.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Emulation to a T. They never said it’d get resolution boost did they? Lol

 

[tommib]

I would pay 79 EUR for the original Silent Hill 2 PS2 version without any updates to resolution, btw.

I'm assuming you don't have a pc? If you do, you owe it yourself to play the enhanced edition. Its sublime.
