SOE Teases Games That'll Please PS2 Players

Sony Online Entertainment are working on a set of unannounced games, some of which CEO John Smedley claims PS2 players "might just like."

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Crash bandicoot?

[Imonaboat1]

The real Crash was on Ps1

[360ICE]

Hey, everyone! They're talking about Planetside 2. If you see in context, it makes sense.

Not the best title, mind you.

Aside from the Everquest games, SOE had the Champions titles on PS2. They were spin-offs of Everquest, an action-RPG using the Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance Engine. With online capabilities, it was possible to play with groups of friends via the internet, although you could play alone as well.

Quote: "We have EQN and EQNL coming along with other….. games… that PS2 players might just like :)"

So we may be looking at a new Everquest, I know there's a new one in production. It could also be a new champions title.

@UltimateMaster

Good that someone remembers those games. Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms were awesome.

The PSP Untold Legends games were "okay" but poor compared to the PS2 games. I didn't like the PS3 Untold Legends at all.

I'd buy the games if they made some upscaled versions of it. Release it exclusively on the Vita or something, because the system is in dire need of good games. It's got good games, just too few.

*edit*

Although after reading the story, it seems that it might be mmo games that have a monthly fee. How they're stating the pay $15 a month to play all our games instead of just one, etc.

[LightofDarkness]

Planetside 2, guys.

[Kornholic]

Sorry, but the PS2 abbreviation is reserved for Playstation 2.

[TomShoe]

Brittany Spears: Dance Central please.

"Hit me baby, one more time, UH!"

[DOMination-]

In this case he's talking about Planetside 2, a game that his studio (Sony Online Entertainment) developed. He is saying they are developing other games that players of Planetside will enjoy.

[Prime157]

@kornholic

Not when SOE (Sony online entertainment) is also in the title. As that is different from PlayStation.

That's called context. Most of us learned that in elementary school.

[Omegasyde]

I also would like to see a sequel to Britney Spears: Dance Central.

They should call the sequel, Britney Spears: Dance Central "2".

With a taste of your lips
I’m on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re toxic

PS2 - Playstation 2

Ps2 Planetside 2

[SnotyTheRocket]

SOCOM II HD Edition.

[Commodore]

Stall that talk sailor...They hate us. Even though we made the PS2 an online console. They are too stubborn to admit that they screwed up the series and give us what we want.

If they did, I'd never buy another PS4 game (probably why they don't want to give us the game) or get off my couch.

[SilentSolid]

No need for a SOCOM remake/HD edition when H-Hour is here soon ;)

[Omegasyde]

I have low expectations for H hour and I was a backer for the kick starter

If they announce Seth Lousi is attached to the project, then I want my money back immediately.

[KratosSaveUs]

They're talking PS2 as in Planetside 2 not the Playstation 2.

[SageHonor]

0 agrees 27 disagrees... OUCH

[Retroman]

yeah, more CRASH no more damn zombie games for crying out LOUD enough of that sh't.

[Mystickay86]

I want Xenosaga I-III. Please! :P

[StealthPandemic]

Okay how does Xenosage in anyway relate to Planetside 2? Monolith Soft (the release devs) are KNOW OWNED by Nintendo so you won't see Xeno on any none-Nintendo platforms.

[Ratty]

Namco still own the publishing rights to Xenosaga so they could re-release it except they won't. Namco seem to just hate that series. Too bad, really.

[LAWSON72]

What is up with people and the word KNOW it is now sorry, but I see this error all the time.

[rayzorn]

I now what you mean. . Muahahahaha

[Zjet]

SOE and PS2 ?

First thing that comes to mind is Champions of Norrath.......

[Myst]

Oh I loved that game ( Champions ) and wouldn't mind playing it again.

[imt558]

Absolutely the best Hack & Slash RPG from PS2 days. I hope SOE will bring Champions on PS4.

[Mr Marvel]

It was awesome, but I preferred the BG:DA games... but only slightly.

[Ragthorn]

OMG, I played that as a kid with my brother, we beat it so many times again and again. We never got bored of it! I miss those days along with Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Champions of Norrath started it all playing split screen coop with my brother, and afterwards were the Star Wars Battlefront games. He would always beat me, but I still had a ton of fun (Except when I raged, and he let me win one time lololololol).

[SaiyanFury]

I would LOVE to see HD remakes of the Champions games. They're two of my alltime favourite games from last generation. Please make it happen SOE...

[Caleb_H]

Oh boy. SOE and PS2. The first thing that should come to mind is Planetside 2. PlanetSide 2. .P.lanet.S.ide.2. PS2.

[Myst]

Dark Cloud?

[Kal853]

Another Bully would be awesome.

[Mills93]

I'd probably buy a PS4 for Champions of Norrath game

[Genecalypse]

Did you guys not read the article? Hes talking about how subscribers to SOE games like Planetside 2 will be subscribed to all SOE games. And how those games will "please PS2 players"

He means planetside 2. not Playstation 2

[DeadlyFire]

I am thinking its a shooter.

[HaHa_Ostrich]

SOCOM. The PS3 never had the real SOCOM experience.

[Elwenil]

I've given up hope of a real SOCOM experience to ever happen again. H-Hour seems promising but I've been burnt too many times and it's a bit early to tell exactly how it's going to end up to fall in behind it just yet. The last video that was posted had a lot of disturbing things in it that I would rather they not include.

[ErryK]

If you mean Planetside 2, use the word. Don't abbreviate it to a well-known console.

[Maxor]

Well know if you're collecting social security gramps. Nobody game on your dino console anymore. Now a days if PS2 and Sony Online Entertainment are mentioned in the same sentence, then it is understood that PS2 obviously mean Planetside 2.

[snookiegamer]

PS2 is Planetside 2 lol

[snookiegamer]

For a minute I actually thought a PS2 game was being developed. Even tho my PS2 days are long passed, I was happily surprised. The title is terrible IMO.

**sorry it double posted ;/

[DanielGearSolid]

Champions of NORRATH!!!!

[Mr Marvel]

HELL YEAH!!!

[filipakos]

Next bring onimusha on ps4 :D

[contradictory]

hahaha i thought it was PlayStation 2 at first too

DO NOT CONFUSE ME PLANETSIDE 2!

speaking of which i think people on PS4
are gonna have their minds blown by PlanetSide 2

[ZeoN]

Nostalgia is killing me!

[GhostTurtle]

Wouldn't mind seeing another EQ MMO put on PS4. EVERQUEST NEXT ONLINE ADVENTURES ftw!

[Prime157]

You can tell the people who don't ever read the articles by the ones talking about PlayStation.

Seriously, it's talking about pc games via Sony online entertainment. Which is Sony's computer division.

I wish the first poster would get banned as he just tries to be first, always, and ruins talking points (sasuke).

[girlwithturn]

Champions (Untold Legend for PSP) - Everquest Spin-off :P

[OhReginald]

@mattgrowcott He is talking about Planetside 2...not Playstation 2.

[Mr Marvel]

Please be a Champions of Norrath style hack'n'slash!

[beatled]

Champions of Norrath and I buy a ps4 that day!!!!

baldurs gate dark alliance and Champions of Norrath are some of the best (for me) ps2 games ever

if they make a NEW Champions of Norrath

like Champions of Norrath 3

I will literally buy a ps4 that day, so will like 10 of my close gaming friends

so far there has been nothing that made me want one bad enough, my brother has one and honesty.....yea....kilzone shadowfall looks decent (not next gen imo, but like a pc game from 5 years ago) and it is fun,

but Champions of Norrath 3 and I buy a ps4 the day it launches....at midnight!

[GdaTyler]

Spider-Man 2?

[Caleb_H]

Okay guys, let me make a clarification here because this one seems to have flown right over this writers head. PS2 means planetside 2. Yes, it's confusing, but if we're talking SOE and PS2 then there's really only one possibility.

[SegataSanshiro]

Resident evil outbreak servers back up:) lol I wish

[jrisner]

Hey Smedley, Bring back Star Wars Galaxies instead o this crap

[MajorGecko]

Socom???

[Ps4Console]

It's gone why go back , I want new Ps4 games I like retro gaming but the ps2 is hardly Retro yet .
