maybe at some point sony might actually release some ps2 classics that people actually want....case in point; where the hell is burnout takedown/revenge??

? That isn't really up to just Sony.

Nothing is stopping Square from porting it to the PS4 as a standalone title. Even before the whole PS2 emulation, understand that its not impossible for Square to have just ported the game over to PS4...

Consider we have FFVII on PS4, did Sony need to make a "PS2 classics" for that to exist on the store?

Sony doesn't control other people's games. That is out of their hands.

Burnout Revenge remaster would be EPIC btw

I actually have the PS2 version, however, I only have the PAL FAT PS3 which is a mixture of PS2 hardware and software emulation and therefore will only play properly about 90% of all PS2 games. Unfortunately, my PS2 version of Star Ocean will play for over 20 hours flawlessly and then hit two freezes with the first one bypassable by just not doing the optional quest but the second freeze which like the first one is fully repeatable effectively stops me playing the game.

Fabulous game & thankfully this time you have more than 8mb's to store that huge in-game trophy data.

Notice how this game has better facial animations than Mass Effect Andromeda

A beginner's guide to Star Ocean

Star Ocean is one of those series that did, and still does, things that others don’t. Think of it as a JRPG for fans of series like Star Trek. The casts regularly involve people from more advanced civilizations getting involved with those who are still growing, even though there are various measures in place to allegedly stop that sort of interference. As a result, people get energy weapons, cyborgs, magic and people who can turn into cats. It is a lot to take in.

Let's see here. There was another classic JRPG series that started this SCI Fi. It was Phantasy Star by Sega. Before Star Ocean, there was Phantasy Star 1-4 on Sega consoles

you've been told that the universe (SO lore) is just a ------------------- and close the book

Yeah, that plot twist didn't work for me. I wish SO3 isn't canon, but it is. Anyway, SE can just sweep SO3 under the rug perhaps by soft rebooting the franchise.

The first two were so great, among the top RPGs on 16 and 32-bit era. I wonder why it went downhill after that...

LiViNgLeGaCY1624d ago

I still regard the 2nd Story as one of the greatest JRPG's of all time.

ChronoJoe1624d ago

Play the PS1 game and then the PS2 game and then the rest probably aren't worth your time unless you're a superfan of the series. I think that's all you need to know.
