Game Informer:
Classics from yesteryear are suddenly new again on PlayStation 4. Our Replay mailbag is overflowing with requests to revisit the PlayStation 2 games Sony is re-releasing on PlayStation 4. We already took a look at the excellent stealth game Mark of Kri, today we're revisiting Rogue Galaxy, an ambitious science-fiction role-playing from developer Level-5.
The game choice comes courtesy of Game Informer friend Zachary Pligge, who donated $1,000 dollars to Game Informer's Extra Life live stream to appear in an episode of Replay. Pligge quickly shows off his knowledge of Rogue Galaxy, and Tim Turi does his best to make as much progress in the opening minutes of the game as he can. Kim Wallace, Game Informer's JRPG expert, is on hand to insight and criticize Turi's should he do something wrong. Rogue Galaxy sadly didn't sell well in Japan or North America, and stands as one of PlayStation 2's most under appreciated games. Here's hoping it finds the audience it deserv...
These JRPGs stand up on their own.
Rogue Galaxy is a great contemporary to Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest but is rather unknown. Here we take a look at what makes it so special.
TG: “Look, Sony, I don’t ask for much, but if you could remake Rogue Galaxy, that’d be swell. I’d settle for a true remaster, even.”
I would also love to see a sequel to Rogue Galaxy. Either both would be fine.
It's already on ps4, hence, zero reason to remaster. If this request is the norm, then there is zero reason for backwards compatibility.
