PS3Informer reports, "After looking at the features list for the new PS3 Slim and PSP Go, just about everybody would agree that backwards compatibility is low on Sony's list of priorities. With no software emulation equivalent, and no UMD trade-in program yet announced, why has Sony decided to abandon those of us with older games?
Will the gaming community support the concept of rebuying $60 games in new packaging? Would you support this practice? If so, what "Old School" franchises would you like to see bundled, remastered and rejuvenated?
We examine the issue in depth and discuss how closely it parallels with the DVD industry's double-dipping practices."
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
PS2 games in HD, 60FPS, and trophy support with the possibility of having online support for some games = HEAVEN! =D
It's better than waiting years for a remake that'll never happen, just so you can have a decent picture on your HD screen.
60 gig: (scoffs)
Me: "heh, u said it 60"
i don't know how many times i've said this but: ps2 games look like crap on HDTVs, even if it's upscaled.
but the GOW collection is much like ninja gaiden sigma. it is remastered with AA and 60fps. it's worth every penny if you are a GOW fan.
for a remastered game? NO F* WAY!!
Gow Collection (2 of the best games ever) is just a single package and it cost $40. Which makes it a must buy.
I fully support remastering awesome games but under highly reasonables prices, ie up to $25 for a single game.
