Wow looks really good. Sony went the extra mile and cleaned the games up and added trophies. I'm probably not going to buy any of them because you know, nobody's forcing me too, and if I want to play a PS2 game I plug in my, wait for it, PS2! But apparently there are a lot of people around here that think that notion is absurd.

S2Killinit3058d ago

Im glad they are upscaling these. Gives me new motivation to check out the gems i missed out on. And there are plenty.

Letthewookiewin3058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

I hate to say it but it's hard for me to play a game that doesn't have trophies, and this is coming from a guy who got an Atari 2600 for his 4th birthday (Dad bought it for himself and passed it off as a gift to me :) so I've played hundreds without them, but after being exposed to the satisfaction of the trophy ding and having some evidence of my accomplishments I can't bring myself to play play games without them. So that and upscaling are pretty good motivation to grab these.

i'm sorry but these don't look very good, not $15 good.

S2Killinit3058d ago

Ahhh moldybread one of 4 usual suspects. Welcome, welcome to Playstation article. Thanks for the contributions. Your opinion is always held at the highest regard.

nucky643058d ago

your idea is not absurd at all. I never kept my ps2/ps3 - sold both. I just don't go back to the older games much. what sony is doing will allow me to play the occasional old game if I want without me having to keep an old console (that I would hardly ever use) around the house.

N4GGuy243058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

Get yourself a PS2 slim/phat with component cables. You will have great display from PS2 games. Alternative try get yourself original phat PS3 with backward compatibility. I believe the best option is the first one rather then wasting time with re-releases to make money off you. This is just EA business practices.

_-EDMIX-_3058d ago

Those will make it run 60fps and have trophies?

"rather then wasting time with re-releases to make money off you"

?? Sooooo the basic concept of business? Ummmm sure bud.

RosweeSon3058d ago

They do look pretty great considering their age now. Shame the Star Wars games didn't make the launch maybe they'll be out in the next week or 2.

nucky643058d ago

I'm looking forward to replaying vice city.

Solid_Penguin-643057d ago

Went with SA first, just one of my favorite games ever. Will get Vice later down the road though. Hopefully they'll do Red faction, Darkwatch, Timesplitters and THUG2 :D

nucky643057d ago

no problems there - we all have our favorites.

Sinexx3058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

Sony went the extra mile with these, and I was confused on why people were hating on the idea and still confused while reading through some comments earlier on a previous post. They charged us 9.99 for a PS2 game with no extras, just the normal base game on PS3. Now they are charging us 14.99, yet with these they have upped the resolution, given us trophies and allow us to broadcast the game on twitch. Seems like a fair exchange to me for the extra 5 dollars for the extra work they put in on these!

Edit: Looking forward to trying Twisted Metal: Black! Never got to try it when I had a PS2, being a poor 10 year old cut out a lot of classic games.

Letthewookiewin3058d ago

A lot of people complaining are Xbots who don't even own PS4's.

Reddzfoxx3058d ago

Who would pay for ps2 games when you can download an emulator and play them for free. Thanks but no thanks Paystation.

Fin_The_Human3058d ago

I think most PS4 owners just want this have one console to play there ¶s2/and 3 catalog.

IanTH3058d ago

So my disappointment comes from the fact we can't just play games we already own, we should have the option. Either we can play the games we already own for free OR choose to pay for these improved experiences. And it seems a bit disingenuous of them to have talked about PS2 Emulation they way they did, leaving us to expect it should work similarly to the XBOX b/c. They should have said "PS2 Experiences" were coming or something, rather than PS2 Emulation. I still have a bunch of PS2 games I would have liked to play on my PS4. I have other ways to play them, but Sony is now the only player in the space charging you to play games you already own from a previous gen.

WizzroSupreme3058d ago

Sure would be nice to have some PS3 back-compatibility than PS2 on PS4.

RedDevils3058d ago

That not possible with the Cell in the way

There wont be enough demand until the tech gets better and more affordable.

ApocalypseShadow46d ago

The article is more concerned with where the announced games are. Not about VR demand.

Even with my thoughts on Facebook, they did supposedly sell over 20 million headsets. Not that I think that many are still using their Quest headsets. But even if it's only 10 million users and 5 million are interested and able to play GTA SA, that's still a lot of consumers and a lot of sales.

It just comes down to why these developers are taking so long. Is something like GTA canceled? Is it being held back for a future event? It's not like there's competition in the stand alone space. And now that I have a Quest 3 myself, I'm wondering as well what's the hold up.

Profchaos46d ago

For GTA SA
Meta made a lot of budget cuts and cancelled a fair few exclusive game contracts we don't know if this was cancelled but it's possible and this was announced prior to the release of GTA definitive edition which was slammed and eventually moved to be supported in house by Rockstar.

Since then we have just gotten the mobile versions a d they are actually the best way to play the definitive edition unfortunately the consoles never got a retrospective patch to implement the improvements they made in the mobile games.

But for VR we know a VR mode was found in the definitive editions game files thanks to data miners so seeming it was meant to be using the definitive edition as a base given its ue4 that makes sense. And the mode is there right now (some Polish may be required still) I would assume this is ready to go but meta got cold feet and cancelled it given the games reputation.

I do hope Rockstar forge ahead and still just launch it anyway on psvr2 as it's a game I've loved since day 1 on PS2 I'll even tolerate the de version to get it in VR
