Board 8 > PS2 games on PSN are not remasters and don't support trophies

(+) Yeah! (+)

just straight up PS2 games with smoothing options like you see in the PS1 Classics. God Hand HD would have been amazzzzing

I'll deal.

No trophies is sort of disappointing though just because how hard can it really be to implement them?

What I figured. Shame Odin Sphere will still be laggy. Still, I kinda want to pick up everything they've mentioned so far.

And it's not like it would have mattered regardless, look at the recent "HD" releases. They just would have charged you more money for trophies and nothing else.

Well, that's okay as long as they release a whole bunch. We already have occasional remasters of PS2 games with trophies.

Good, so they won't sell them at full price like a new game

I'd much rather buy God Hand for $10 on psn than buy it for $20 used on amazon.

Some of the others are in a similar position, I'd think.

And I'd much rather buy these than a second PS3!

Hey, I didn't even know ps2 games were announced to go on psn. Man I'd love to get a copy of God Hand, I've been meaning to play that for forever. Is that really one of the initial titles coming out?

Holy crap! First, I'm getting Dark Souls today (still in the mail) and now I find out PS2 classics are finally come to PSN! What a great day!

Of course, just having an emulator built in to the PS3 would be much better news, but I'll take what they'll give me. As long as the Suikoden games make their way there, I'll be happy. Oh, that and FFX since I still haven't played it. No doubt that will show up at some point, though.

Also, it seems quite promising the Vita may support this. And who cares about trophies or remasters? Sure it would be nice, but the PS1 Classics don't have this, so it's not really something you should expect for the PS2 Classics.

I wonder if Europe can get some games that weren't originally released here through this.

that's what this is. they're just not letting you use it for the PS2 games you already own.

so basically this is virtual console but with less justification!

Given my issues with even PS1 emulation on PS3, I doubt that they've designed an emulator that will run PS2 games without any additional hardware. So basically, these will be ports, requiring some additional coding to make each game playable.

If you have issues with PS1 emulation on PS3, that just speaks to the emulation not being perfect. The article talks about how there's some PS2 games that "just don't work" which likely means that this is emulation with a variety of speed hacks to get everything full speed, without an emphasis on accuracy.

Also roughly a year ago there were several articles out there saying that Sony had started work on a PS2 emulator for PS3. At the time, people thought maybe they were trying to get PS2 BC back. Now we know they were actually just doing it to sell you the games again!

Well, while I'd appreciate them patching PS2 games to work for no charge, I don't think it's totally unfair to charge people for downloadable PS2 games. The target audience is people who don't own those games already.

what makes you think they are patching them? if they were patching them they wouldn't be like "some of these games don't work and we have no plans of getting them to work." everything we've read so far suggests to me that they wrote an emulator without perfect compatibility and are just plugging clean PS2 isos into that.

It's very possible that it's just the same emulator they removed before, but it's also possible that they port the games to work natively on the PS3. Wait until some hacker digs into the games and figures out how it works.

yeah I'd be interested in that. the reason we know that Nintendo downloads NES roms off the internet and plugs them into the VC NES emulator is because someone dug into their VC packages and found out all the NES games have iNES headers. hopefully someone does something similar here so we can know for sure.

Huh, so I can play my old PS2 games on my PS2 and now buy new PS2 games from the comfort of my living room for a most likely cheaper price.
