PS2 games on PS4 : The list
- Thread starter Kinan
- Start date
Hmm, its a confusing case. It is not in the PS2 section of the US store and doesn't have a "This title has been converted from the original PlayStation®2 version to the PS4 system" phrase in the description. Its also more expensive than PS2 emulator games. Are we sure its a PS2 version?

Grabbed Psychonauts on sale yesterday and played for about 30 mins. I already forgot how much I loved playing it back on my ps2 when the game launched.
I believe THQ Nordic ported/remastered the game themselves and released it as separate from the PS2 on PS4 initiative, hence the ridiculous price.

Probably in the summer of 20-never.

Don't know if this has been asked earlier in the thread, but is there ever going to be a chance of getting Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts: Covenant on the PS4?

I hope so as those are 2 of my favorite ps2 games. I'm a bit concerned about the rights ownership since Atari went out. I think multiple companies may own the series.

I heard Legends of Legaia 2 was recently rated! Any idea on when we can expect to see that hidden gem appear?

Thirding this - I really would like to play the Shadow Hearts series again. Heck, get From the New World on there, too.

Paychonauts just got an update that is supposed to improve frame rate as said in the patch notes.

Is implementing flags for trophy support and (I assume) needing re-certification a much more arduous process than how PS1 Classics were done? I imagine so, looking at the list of PS2 Classics on PS3.
Seeing the meagre list of PS2 on PS4 titles
it just seems like there's been no significant desire to release any aside from Sony itself and Rockstar Games. It's a tiny list that isn't getting larger at any appreciable rate. If that's the list of PS2 titles I can't see a PS1 list happening any time soon.
Not to mention PS2 on PS4 titles aren't released in Japan.
It stands in stark contrast to the number of PS1 Classics 3 years after launch on PS3:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PS_one_Classics_(Japan) -> Japan had many, and early on.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PS_one_Classics_(PAL_region)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PS_one_Classics_(North_America) -> in 2009 it really kicked into high gear.
Heavy hitters like the Naughty Dog Crash Bandicoot titles and Insomniac's Spyro the Dragon trilogy are up on PSN for PSP, PS3, and Vita for every major region (except for the Vita in North America). I was hoping I could play certain PS1 games I had missed or just want to play again, but it seems everyone without a PSP or PS3 is screwed in that regard.

The vast majority of Midway stuff was acquired by Warner, so it's probably there.

Legaia 2: Duel Saga and Ape Escape 3 are still coming I take it, but have there been any new leaks from ratings boards about upcoming titles?
I hold insane levels of nostalgia for the original Legend of Legaia on PS1 and Ape Escape 2 was a really solid game. I hope there's a platinum trophy for 3.

Thanks for heads up, updated. Cannot find the Red Faction though, see only PS3 versions everywhere.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
It does it indeed, minus a few gems it's been nothing but back bargain bin games (and I mean bargain bin when they was originally released)
I find it insulting how much Destroy all humans is.
I saw that for 2 quid within months of its original release
looks like harvest moon could be coming

This was a feature that I was really excited about but I have to say it's not been as good as I hoped and PCSX2 is still the way to go.
The GTA trilogy has a nasty stretched aspect ratio which ruins the look of the games. Its unfortunate because it would make SA the best version available since the PS2 version has all the original graphical effects. I also bought the Metal Slug Anthology but the emulator has no filtering options. That's pretty lame when both PS3 and even PS2 did.

I remember hating one of these, can't remember which tho
How do we know we games are coming up next? Would kill for SSX, Jak and Daxter, and Viewtiful Joe.
Just bought War of the Monsters and the fact that you can play with a buddy online is amazing! Checking out Ape Escape 2, GTA:SA, The Warriors and Rogue Galaxy to relive my PS2 days, except for Galaxy and Ape Escape which I've never played.

Dark Cloud 2 is the better game compared to Rogue Galaxy. Rogue Galaxy came out later though

I disagree I think Rogue Galaxy is better than Dark Cloud 2 though I have finish Rogue Galaxy recently but not Dark Cloud 2 yet, I think I stopped at the part just when they left the city and the girl joins you and can put gems into weapons
I was eyeing Dark Cloud 2 but was wondering if the first was necessary?
No, Dark Cloud 2 isn't even technically the second in the series. It was originally called Dark Chronicle in Japan, as a spiritual successor to Dark Cloud. Think Demon Souls to Dark Souls.
The universes are completely different, and IMO, the first game is a clear downgrade anyway(having come out a while before) so there's no reason to play it
Rogue Galaxy builds on certain gamplay aspects already introduced in Dark Cloud 2, but fumbles hard on the story aspect, and generally gives you a feeling of 'what i'm doing right now is pointless'.

I would recommend Rogue Galaxy over either Dark Cloud by an enormous margin, so you've done well.
Rogue Galaxy is a fantastic action RPG developed for a slightly older audience that has some slight Treasure Planet and Xenoblade vibes. Give it a shot.
Dark Cloud 2 isn't really that good, nor is its predecessor. Level-5 got better with time. Rogue Galaxy came out after they did Dragon Quest VIII so they were at peak performance level by that point.
i feel you but i know i wouldnt touch any other gta but san andreas. also is there a release date for Ape Escape 3?
