Dark Cloud Face-Off: PS4 vs. PS2

Hardcore Gamer: "Happy 15th anniversary, Dark Cloud! It’s hard to believe it has been so long since Level-5’s baby first debuted, and after its sequel two years later, it was sadly forgotten about. The Zelda-esque adventure game that implemented world building aspects into its out-of-combat leisure is now seeing the light of day for the first time in far too long."

I really loved Dark Cloud, definitely waiting for a price drop before I pick this up though!

Kalebninja3058d ago

dont hold your breath, i doubt ps2 classics will see a price drop for a very long time.

Deathskitten3058d ago

I give it about 6-9 months before it gets a discount...I'm willing to wait, plenty of other games in my backlog anyway!

ShinMaster3057d ago

The PS2 version goes for $20 used.

PS4 version is cheaper. Plus it's upscaled.

Eidolon3058d ago

Had to, couldn't wait months for a $5 price drop, I'm not that cheap, and this is one of my most nostalgic games.

Name Last Name3058d ago

I loved the weapons in this game.

ValKilmer3058d ago

Almost looks better on PS2.

DragoonsScaleLegends3058d ago

Yeah if you think 240p-480i looks better than 1080p.

ValKilmer3058d ago

PS4 version has clear artifacting though and it's just upressed.

ShinMaster3057d ago

If you were to blow up that small res PS2 screenshot to the size of your TV screen, it would definitely be more jarring than the PS4 version.

LgbtWarrior3058d ago

Looks great on ps4. The clarity from the resolution bump is worth it.

kmeck5183058d ago

I don't see a while lot of difference.

Imalwaysright3058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

People that own this game are paying exactly for what to play it on their PS4?

TFJWM3058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

For the improved graphics, trophies, and not having to hook up their PS2...

Imalwaysright3057d ago

Improved graphics? Barely any improvements in this game but those improvements are made by the emulator. Never heard of anyone ever charging for an emulator.

Trophies? I wasn't aware that when I bought a PS4 or PS3 game I was also paying for trophies! A new game in my country is €70. How much of those €70 are strictly for trophies?

As for not having to hook up our PS2, do you mean that we're paying for BC?

@ Ron_Danger below

I thought that those features were free. Why exactly have people to pay for them for PS2 games and not PS4 games?

And remote play and game sharing with friends.

I don't think I understand what this game is, at all.

crazyCoconuts1403d ago

I'm not sure the creative director does either lol. Comparing themselves to a gem like BioShock is kinda cocky on the face of it, especially after seeing the trailer.

You don't need to understand the game, just understand it's GOTY. /s

Darkborn1403d ago

Watch this game somehow have souls like combat too.

Teflon021403d ago

Don't mention hard cloud unless 1 and 2 are getting remakes or it's 3 :(

Darkborn1403d ago (Edited 1403d ago )

I think the bugsnax devs have a lot of explaining to do.
