TheSixthAxis looks at who's behind the 2011 HD updates of these PS2 classics.
They may not be as remembered by the vast majority as other classics, but these PlayStation 2 titles are still significant.
A good number of these games are pretty well-known in the gaming community. I don't know who this 'no one' is, but they might not have been a gamer during the time of the PS2. ICO? The Warriors? BULLY?!? C'mon now.
Not one of these is pretty "forgotten". But what you can forget are bad lists that need 15 clicks.
The title is misleading, it should be 15 best ps2 that you always ignored (hence the title of the video).
These games are not unknow but often left out when talking PS2 great game.
The warrior is a great game but let's be frank just mention it in a discussion amongs friends and half the crowd will go " OMG I forgot about that! "
15 games on 15 pages? F*** that. I'll save you a click:
The Thing
Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution
Deus Ex: The Conspiracy
Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly
Twisted Metal Black
ICO
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
Transformers
Silent Hill 4: The Room
Red Dead Revolver
War of the Monsters
XIII
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
The Warriors
Bully
This video game journalist must not know any gamers, not be on any gaming sites, and is probably young only know of these games because of an older sibling.
None of those games are forgotten and most are spoken of fondly fairly often.
On the 20th anniversary of its release, Famitsu would like to introduce all the comments from top creators around the world to "ICO" that were delivered across the boundaries of the industry.
genDESIGN has released an early development video of ICO in celebration of its 20th anniversary on December 6.
Very special game! I still have the limited edition. The artstyle of Team ICO is very distinct. https://www.videogameshelf....
This was a fun look at Ico. So hard to believe it's been 20 years already. Where does time go?
Bluepoint did a good job with GoW except for the cutscenes which looked off. I just hope there are no lower resolution moments like that with the Team Ico collection
:)
Also Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid HD Collections are coming, not announced yet, but are coming for sure, SCEA Rep said that.
Here it is the article:
http://www.thegameheadz.com...
''“The industry’s best developers are ReMastering their best games. Prince of Persia, Shadow of Colossus, and ICO are just the beginning. When fans see what Konami’s doing to the Metal Gear series, and what Square’s doing with Final Fantasy, they’re going to be very happy.”
He went on to say doing backwards Compatibility through HD ReMastering is best for gamers, developers, and the PlayStation 3. Gamers get to enjoy their favorite games in HD, with trophy support, ReMastered games fall under the Licensing for the PlayStation 3, and is consider a PS3 title, developers can reap a return on games they develop years ago,
Sony gets royalties for the new sales generated under the PlayStation 3 agreement for Remastered titles, so this is a plus for the Playstation pocket book.
Be prepared to play your favorite Playstation 2 classics in Stereoscopic 3D, HD, and in digital 7.1 surround sound. All this equipped on one gorges Blu-Ray Disc.''
Glad these two games are getting a make over. Bring out more Sony. A Silent Hill pack would be hella cool or even a Resident Evil collection. So many games to choose from.... What would you guys/gals like to see remade in high definition?
Better be :J
Bluepoint is pretty awesome. I'm playing GoW1 on the God of War collection right now. It would be wise for Sony to swipe up this studio so we can have other HD anthologies such as Jak and Ratchet.
Sanzaru also. Once the remakes are over. They'd be great first party developers to unleash, I'm sure their bustling with creativity.
