It was announced at E3 that the three Sly Raccoon games on PS2 would be joining the God of War Collection and were being ported to the PS3 as part of a “HD Classics” Sly Collection where the games would be HD and have trophies and just recently the Team Ico Collection featuring Ico and Shadow of the Collusus was also confirmed. It got us thinking, what else would we like to see join Sly and the Team Ico games in the “HD Classics” collection? We present to you a list of collections we’d like to see.
Cultured Vultures: We’ve rounded up the most well-aged PS2 games out there, just in case you’ve been meaning to revisit some childhood memories, or even if you’re checking out the PlayStation 2 for the very first time.
id throw haunting ground into the mix. it still looks fantastic.
but i still dont quite understand why we never got a dragon quest 8 remaster for ps4. even the damn 3ds got one.
Silent Hill 3 was straight up sorcery. It has better hair animation than most modern games, which is wild to me.
This is how the Resident Evil 4 remake was reinvented again for VR.
And Capcom, being Capcom, chooses to keep the VR versions limited to certain headsets in a niche that is already small.
They wouldn’t work well on Quest. Not the PlayStation versions at least. Also Sony seems to have helped fund these.
... Maybe not quest standalone due to power limitations, but you do know that all of the modern resident evil games including 2 and 3 remake (which dont have even have official VR versions) are available on PC and are arguably better in almost every way...
The porting process to VR with VR capable engines is so incredibly easy that the cost is negligible really. What's worse is having played the games on psvr and psvr2, the developers did a pretty shoddy job whereas the PC versions are better as the community tackled a lot of the issues in a matter of a few weeks...
@above.
This is simply not true. Compare RE8 praydog vs the native port to psvr2. The native port is an amazing experience. You’d never want to actually play the pc mod. It’s no where near as good. The performance is not good and is nauseating.
... In what ways is it nowhere near as good? On a decent system it runs incredibly well and even better if you have something good, pushing it way beyond what you get on the psvr2. I've literally played both, and on PC it not only looks better, but runs much better overall on pc. Additionally, you get even more games than the 3 official games over both psvr and psvr2 offered by Capcom (4, 7 which is only psvr compatible, and 8).
@above
It doesn't actually run better on the PC though. I've heard from many PC gamers who will flat out disagree with you. I've seen top end Nvidia cards drop to below 60 fps (no reprojection either). Hopefully you know the effect that Foveated Rendering has on VR performance.
How far did you make it in the story? If you really claim that the PC can compete on performance show me a professional reviewer who claims that who actually tested a large portion of the game. On top of the performance not being in PCs favour you've got a completely inferior level of interactivity.
Pretty sure it's because they were very well paid to do so in the past I'm sure there's a deal going because Sony sure isn't in a rush to produce games for their own headset
Plus the re games are fantastic in VR
Indeed. One of the guys seemed to be a big fan of VR.
And this bit pretty confirms there're plans for more RE VR projects.
Once they wrapped up the project, they realized VR was well-suited to the franchise. While they didn’t discuss specifics, Kumazawa says they “plan to undertake more challenges in the future.”
I'd give my left nipple for an official RE2R VR mode. Praydogs was good but the real deal would be incredible.
Shame they don't seem to have any interest going back to these releases. RE7VR even already exists just tweak it and pop it on PSVR2. Nnngggg.

"When it comes to the Kingdom Hearts franchise, fans have had a variety of ways to play it throughout its incredibly long length. They could have followed it from 2002’s original release and subsequent questionably canon releases on handheld devices only to return to the core game again with Kingdom Hearts II to find out that yes, they were canon. Then in that wait until the third game the mixture of titles along the way and other numerous platforms would make following Kingdom Hearts‘ story a challenge even for the most eager fan. Square Enix made up for this prior to Kingdom Hearts III’s release by bringing together an HD pack collecting the game’s together in an easier to digest package for fans and releasing them on consoles only for PC fans to be left in the dark. That is of course until all of the games arrived on PC, but not in a way that many had hoped. See, PC users can be a fickle bunch and when the Kingdom Hearts collection arrived on PC exclusively through Epic Games, it may as well not exist. Now, three years after the fact, these same PC players can now enjoy the exact same games on Steam with a bit of extra support including Steam Deck compatibility with Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece. The question is, do all of these games still hold up on their Steam PC ports?"
Far from a 9, Square have left these games a janky mess since their epic release. Even now they have not said anything about fixing some of the problems that many steam reviews mention. You gotta download the re:fined mod to fix what square refuses to do.
Tony hawks pro skater collection
Jesus Christ, must we get these articles every effing day? Theres like 3 a week.
Why not just give back BC and focus on making new games instead of nickel & diming old ones?
The Getaway 1 & 2. plus the GTA collection including both Liberty City and Vice City stories.
play them on a ps2 emulator on pc, looks way better than the remakes, they can't even render a ps2 game to 1080p with at least 3x AA... its pitiful.. I'm currently replaying Kingdom Hearts 2 for pc and I know if they ever do a remake it will not even look half as good as the pc ps2 emulator. Kingdom Hearts 2, GT4, and FFXII look better than next gen games of now. I don't know why sony can't implement something on the ps3 that truly upscale and adds AA to a ps2 titles.. if a pc can do it with a dual core and decent gpu, it shouldn't be a problem for the ps3 to do, instead of adding that garbage upscaler and smoother that make ps2 games look like crap.
