Topic: PS2 Classics On PS4 Still A Thing?

The PS3 has gotten a couple of new PS2 Classic games since I got my PS3 in July, but I haven't heard much regarding PS2 Classics for the PS4. Has Sony abandoned the platform on the PS4?

I think they have. I'm just glad they decided to release Okage before they dropped support. I don't think it's that they have given up on PS2 games (and I bet we'll get a handful more before the PS5 comes out), but they've pretty much decided by this point that PS Now will be their answer for backwards compatibility.

I don't like PS Now because my internet isn't fast enough.

That's why, if you want the ultimate Playstation retro experience, you need to get a PS3. At least that's what I tell my friends, but they're slowly migrating to PC so they don't care about retro Playstation games anymore. (T_T )

@Rukiafan7: Funnily red dead......ahem....

Revolver is being launched, I read an article on it. If I was in publishing I would raid the back catalouge asap, but I suppose only the big hitters have the resources to rerelease games for a limited return.

The PS2 on PS4 is still going, they just don't advertise it well. They usually release a game a month.

@Tasuki: I wish they did a better job advertising because the PS store is a little confusing to navigate, especially for new comers (but at least it's not as bad as the Xbox store). There are a lot of good PS2 games out there, it's kind of a shame that more people don't play them.

The most recent one they added should be red dead revolver. Here is the full list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_2_games_for...

hoping for klonoa 2

Literally made this today:

If SSX 3 comes to PS4 as a classic you might as well just write me off for a month.

Actually playing Dark Chronicles right now. They have slowed down with the releases though. I'm still hoping for Need for Speed Underground, DBZ Tenkaichi 3 and the True Crime series but I don't think it's likely.

I just hope Star Ocean: Till The End of Time will be released by the time I purchase a PS4 in a few years.

Edit: @Fight_Teza_Fight Is that the European version of Dark Cloud?

@Rukiafan7: yep it's Dark Cloud 2. Loving it so far. I didn't think a game could ever make me like settlement building but Dark Cloud 2 did it.

The Getaway series needs to be added.

I know it's PS1 but, Parasite Eve 1&2.

What does that have to do with the thread??

@Tasuki: I'm thinking s/he hopes PSOne Classics will come to PS4 at some point.

@Rukiafan7: She's not the only one. (T-T ) I feel really sad that Sony seems to have completely dropped PS1 games.

But back to PS2, I would love to see Silent Hill 2-4 (mostly because they've never had a proper remaster and no, I don't consider the HD collection on PS3 worthy of the Silent Hill name). Also, Beyond Good and Evil. I have hope for BG&E because supposedly a sequel has been teased.

@Utena-mobile: Didn't Beyond Good and Evil have an HD remake on PS3?

@Tasuki: Yes it did, might be on PS Now.

I can't believe publishers aren't putting more into this initiative to be honest. Rockstar even said during a financial that sales of these PS2 Classics were really strong. There are SO many games missing, it's insane.

@get2sammyb: You'd think some of the bigger publishers would! If a game as obtuse and obscure as Forbidden Siren gets a look in then why not others?!
