PS4 finally gets official emulation possibility of PS2 games.
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is among one of the first games which we have posibility to play on PlayStation 4.
Check this graphics comparison showing how much better the games looks like running on much more powersful hardware.
As is they're coins down a sofa, some announced games seem to just disappear. So just where are these missing VR games?
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
From GTA BOOM: "Recently, Obbe Vermeij, a former developer at Rockstar North, shared some intriguing technical details about the ingenuity that went into creating the cheats for the GTA Trilogy"
While GTA V is set in the same place, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas still deserves a complete remake.
It truly does. To this day it's my favorite. In reality though this will never happen, unless they get ai good enough to do it idk lol
This is a tough one we've all seen the remakes of GTA SA in ue5 and they look nice however this is a 6th gen game it's artstyle is so heavily directed by the limitations of the PS2 era machines things such as fog and draw distances were so interwoven.
Ignore the de release but if you were to remake this game it couldn't be made the same the city's are not that big when shown in the hd era instead what would work is a game heavily inspired by the GTA SA and the world would need to be expanded on.
But in many ways I feel like they need to leave the original game alone relicense the original songs and release a 4k 60 version for consoles without the modifications we got and really it should be free for owners of the de edition.
Right now the definitive edition is realistically the PS2, pc disc (not steam as they patched music out) or Xbox if you can tolerate white and black buttons.
It's nice to imagine full blown remakes of VC and SA but I have zero faith that Rockstar would take them on or do them justice. Not enough money in it.
Gotbto give Sony props where its due. Looks pretty darn good considering the APU they are working with.
Still with proper plug ins, even a mid range gaming laptop running PCSX2 looks better. Still, a mid range gaming laptop costs about $150 more than the PS4 does right now.
Good job Sony. Not bad, not bad at all.
Useless for me, but good for those that are interested in purchasing their PS2 games yet again.
It does look a little better on PS4. I didn't expect that, I thought they would just be straight transfers. So that's actually a plus I guess.
Not sure if there's anything I would want to try again from PS2. I'll probably do Vice City, just driving around with some of that music is always epic. I'm sure I'll think of some others just to get the feeling of nostalgia and maybe there was something interesting I never tried.
If they ever release Manhunt 2, I never tried that, I actually liked the first one, which I know a lot of people didn't. Actually, just last week I was thinking of buying Castlevania: Lament of Innocence and Cruse of Darkness from the PS3 store, actually, Curse of Darkness they didn't have.
How did they look on PS3?
Really only slightly better and it may be due to the 16:9 vs 4:3 ratio?? Does this display the original aspect ratio on screen or it is enhanced for widescreen?
$15 for PS2 games are Grand Sony Theft.
