Ape Escape 2, Dark Cloud 2, and Twisted Metal: Black rated for PS4 in Europe

The Pan European Game Information Board has rated Ape Escape 2, Dark Cloud 2 (Dark Chronicle), and Twisted Metal: Black for PlayStation 4.

Twisted Metal: Black is already available as a PS2 Classic for PlayStation 3 in Europe. It was released in September 2012.

This would appear to be Sony bringing its selection of PS2 Classics from PlayStation 3 to PlayStation 4. If anything, you might find out for sure tomorrow, as Sony is holding its SCEJA Press Conference 2015 in Japan.

I really hope that Sony brings over PS1 and PS2 Classics over to PS4. I enjoy them on PS3 and no reason they shouldn't be able to make the transition

jon_snow3180d ago

Game, Set and Match Sony. If Sony makes PS1 and PS2 games available to PS4 and with PS now offering PS3 games to PS4.
Then Sony factually have best lineup of games for PS4.

We are about to witness some great greatness in the coming day.
Dark Chronicles and Ape Escape 2 are "Ape etizers"!
Thank you

@abzdiine We are about to witness greatness in 23hours(TGS). If Sony announces Sequel along with PS2 classic then Internet will explode with Greatness.

freshslicepizza3179d ago

lets hope new games in the series come. we already knew sony was going to bring ps1 and ps2 games to playstation now. the question is when will they bring ps4 games?

blackblades3180d ago

I didn't, they aren't any jrpgs of ps2 classics but Odin sphere last time I checked. Besides I eyes couldn't take those games. HD remaster or ever yeah I'm all for it.

lvl_headed_gmr3179d ago

Whats PSnow for again? O.o

So while MS is allowing BC for FREE Sony is going to charge us AGAIN for old gen games....

I'm still trying to figure out why nobody is yelling at Sony for being anti-consumer?

While MS is giving us great value like MCC and Gears of War and RARE replay vs. Sony stripping features from Drakes collection and charging more than what MS charges, MS is also giving us FREE Win10 and BC while Sony continues to charge for games we already have....

Sony should be offering FREE PS2 and PS1 game librarys via PSnow.

A classic means different things to gamers from absolute rubbish to a definite must play. For instance Ape Escape 2 and Twisted Metal: Black are a no buy for me but Dark Cloud 2 (Dark Chronicle) which I have never played is a definite yes.

I personally would like PS2 backwards compatibility on the PS4 since I have over sixty games but for PS1 games an enhanced remaster is preferred even though you can play PS1 games on any PS3.

As for PS3 games on the PS4 I don't care since I already have a PS3, however remasters are great for those people who have not played the game before and have a PS4.

No no no!!!!!!! I freaking loved ape escape 2!!! God were those games fun. Loved the mini games. The soccer one was a blast!! Can't wait to see what this conference brings

MasterCornholio3179d ago

Yoshida did say that he wouldn't mind bringing the franchise back. Hopefully it's true.

garrettbobbyferguson3179d ago (Edited 3179d ago )

Hopefully it's a proper sequel if they do ever consider bringing it back. I wouldn't want the trash modernization that many games have been getting. Especially not for another series I remember so fondly. But then again, knowing how it's not "mature" enough, I would be worried that the game would fail financially.

Wow. This is really good news for PlayStation gamers.

Didn't expect to see Drakengard in a list like this, considering the awful gameplay. Still, it's the best terrible game I've ever played. 10/10 would recommend

Would love to see a remake one day, but only if they don't censor the fucked up story and characters. That and a Drakengard 3 remake, of course.

Vits52d ago

Drakengard made it onto the list mainly because Nier gave it a cult following later on. Honestly, it wouldn't have made the cut for any ACTION RPG list on its own. The characters are cool, the story is mess up in a good way, the lore is confusing and great, but the gameplay alone kill any chance of it being a recomended ACTION RPG.

Would love a remake of the series with updated gameplay. Drakengard 3 with Automata's hack and slash would be gold.

DarXyde53d ago

Some absolute gems on this list. Wholeheartedly agree with Rogue Galaxy, Dark Cloud 2, Radiata Stories, Odin Sphere, and Devil Summoner 2.

Some others, I can't comment on because I've never played or I didn't feel particularly strongly about them.

But hot take: I don't think Kingdom Hearts II really survives the test of time.

RavenWolfx52d ago

I cannot recommend Rogue Galaxy enough. It is on PSN+ as part of the subscription, so definitely check it out.

Dark Cloud 2 (Dark Chronicle) – How to Increase Health and Defense

In Dark Cloud 2, it seems very easy to die to enemies. Enemies are just too hard to kill, and do way too much damage. There is one thing that can help you survive longer: Potato Pies, Witch Parfait, and Eden Fruits.

These items are scattered around Palm Brinks as well as the future world at different points of the game. As you adventure forward and change the future, new small chests, called “Miracle Chests”, will spawn in the future world.

You can buy this on PS4 or PS5 (PS4 version) or download on PSNow . Its a classic that people still play a lot so it’s relevant .

Eidolon1045d ago

Yes and the guides have been written, and it released years ago on PS4.

AriesBear1045d ago

Absolutely. True action rpg gems that now run at 1080p I’m in.

AriesBear1045d ago

Show some respect to one of the best action RPG‘s ever made it’s timeless. And with all the crap that’s out today it deserves to be mentioned

Teflon021045d ago

Dark Cloud 2 is literally my favourite game of all time. I owned the PS4 release day one. Owned the PS2 copy from 2 days after release and still got it. Doesn't change the fact this article is the weirdest timing ever, especially since those upgrades you'll run into basically no matter what and when you do, thing blinks like crazy telling you to use it immediately lol. They got a million guides for the game and not like it's a new rerelease. God tier game but pointless article, even if I clicked because it mentioned the greatest game of all time lol

Eidolon1045d ago (Edited 1045d ago )

Exactly what Teflon02 said. I'm not shtting on Dark Cloud 2, it's part of my childhood.

AriesBear1045d ago

Just reinvigorated me to play it! Thank you.

Lore1045d ago

The grind for this platinum was so real

Imortus_san1044d ago

Back in the time when Sony made good games and supported a shit ton of games.
