PS2 games on PS4 : The list

nope that was a misunderstanding. It doesn't run internally at 4k.
Have to admit that I'm pleasantly surprised by the number of jrpgs in the list. Aside from SE who had never supported PS2 Classics, I'm now expecting most of my favorite games to appear over time.

Man these things are so slow. Where's ape escape 2! that was like the first one rated.
Is there a thread for this? Yo, this is what's up.

E3 soon, maybe we'll get a mass release.....I'm bring hopeful...
I'm waiting for that and the sequel as well. Was really excited when I heard about the PEGI rating and thought they'd be right around the corner

This and SMT Nocturne
What misunderstanding is this? Every source I've seen of this game states it runs at an internal resolution of 4k that is downsampled to 1080p.

I would have made a thread for it but my new thread privileges have been revoked for some reason. Now I have to dig up old threads to post. It sucks

So I have not read the whole thread but has there been any news on siren ? Like release date or something ?
Also really hoping games like god hand or yakuza 1 and 2 get to be in the list.

Here are some links of another GAF user explaining the misunderstanding.

Are they 50hz?
I don't know, haven't bought them yet.
But I'd imagine Kinetica is not as it never came out over here before.
I've played most of the way through GTA3 and it plays fine.
BTW the GTA games are on sale until the store gets its' new stuff today.

How is Kinetica? I've never played but I love arcade racers
Footage of the PS4 port looked crazy smooth

Copied someone else's pancake recipe
Having never played a Wild Arms game until this one, yes, it's simply a very solid JRPG with some puzzle elements that isn't directly related to the other games.
Would need Ubisoft's blessing, right? At any rate, it would need someone's as it's not Sony's game.
Would love to play it myself.

Clearly they're holding back on Ape Escape 2 and 3 as they'll be unveiling a remake of Ape Escape 1 at E3 ala Ratchet & Clank.
Where is this quote from, if I may ask?

I wonder if other publishers will read that and pile in. I'd like to see a pretty comprehensive selection of PS2 games on PSN.
I really do wonder which third party devs have shown interest in this. A lot of games so far are Sony published games. Rockstar seems to be the third party publisher that is embracing it the most.

Indeed, it's pretty odd that we've seen so little support from other publishers thus far. Rockstar are the kind of creme de la creme bigwigs of the industry that you'd expect to jump on board last, but instead they've gone all in from the beginning.
I'd love to see a PS2PS4 version of Grandia II. Insta-buy.

There is something I don't understand... PS2 classics work only on ps3 ? But some on PS4 ? What is the difference between, say, Persona 3 FES (PS3) and Wild Arms 3 (PS4) ?
Two separate types of releases. PS2 games on PS4 have trophies and other enhancements, and are a separate library from what's been released for PS3, meaning if you've bought a PS2 classic on PS3, and they rerelease it on PS4, you have to buy it again.

Ok, I think I get it. So PS2 classics are not planned for PS4 then ?

I've yet to play any of these games on PS4, but I can tell you from experience that PS2 emulation on PC is real hit and miss. Scaling PS2 assets up to HD resolution with no custom touch-ups results in some unavoidable graphics glitches. For example, I played Dark Cloud 2 on an emulator recently and in certain dungeons the fidelity was so high that I would see literal seams between pieces of the geometry, whereas they would have been invisible in standard definition. I've never encountered anything game-breaking, but there are constant reminders that you're not playing the game the way it was intended.
PS2 emulation can be a bit of a pain to configure, as well. You can mess with settings until you're blue in the face and still feel like something's not quite right. If I had a desire to play any of the games on this list I would sooner buy it on PS4 than mess around with PCSX2.
True…
So what do you think the chances are of that? Not asking in sarcastic sense, but really not sure what their willingness would be to do that.
I mean they already went through the trouble of sprucing the game for the Anniversary edition, this would just be a re-release. Sony would implement the trophies themselves, correct?
Another advantage is that it's no-grey-area, 100% legal, if you decide you don't want to feel any moral compunctions around BIOS reappropriation.
Visual quality gets a significant leap up from the originals, with double the internal resolution and the rest upscaled to 1080p. It's possible to emulate games on PC to higher resolutions if you have the horsepower to pull it off, I suppose, but the games look as good as they can when scaled correctly, and when the max resolution available is 1080p. I don't notice any improvement in audio, but considering it's the same library program that would have been burned onto discs a decade and a half ago, that's to be expected.
Yeah imported a copy of the US version a few years ago and was amazed to see this pop up. I noticed it still hasn't been rated either, though they slapped a PG on it in the store. As I expected we didn't get Manhunt though.
