Rumor: Sony seeking suggestions for more remastered PS2 ports on the PS3?

Sony apparently sent out a survey containing a question that asked fans to suggest a Playstation 2 series that should be remastered (similar to God of War Collection) on the Playstation 3.

Sigh5082d ago

oh my god please do Sony. There are so many past titles that the mass wants to play again on ps3.

riddlesticks5082d ago

I was thinking about this, then I realised the main thing that makes a game memorable is the experience playing it at the time. I honestly don't think there would be that many games that would make the leap to HD and still be considered quality. For example, I was thinking that I would really love to play Timesplitters 2 again, but then when i think about it.. What really made that a good game? The story telling? The graphics? I suppose it was a bit of both but give me Killzone 2 any day over Timesplitters 2. That doesn't mean that when I was playing I didn't have more fun playing Timesplitters 2 because in fact i did have more fun with it. What i'm saying is I don't think I would really enjoy the game that much if it was brought out again... However I would agree with what someone said below about adding backwards compatibility. That really would be a much better move but I suppose that isn't a great business idea for sony who want to make money.
Anyway.. give me timesplitters 4 anyday over a remade 'splitters 2 haha.

lociefer5082d ago

Shadow of colossus / Ico / mgs3 / Okami / Okami /Okami / Okami / Okami / Okami

NeoBasch5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

I remember taking a survey asking about this not long ago. They specifically asked about Shadow of the Colossus and Ico. At least I think they did. I can almost swear I took a survey on it maybe a month ago.

Anyways, I answered yes to a remastered version in high definition, of course. :D

yess5082d ago

I would love to see Freedom Fighters and Dropship contiuned.

execution175082d ago

OKAMI!!!!, sucks i can't even find it for the Wii :(

Cheeseknight285082d ago

Art Collection: Ico + Shadow of the Colossus + Okami
Metal Gear Collection: MGS + MGS2 + MGS3 (Though this has been done, sadly)
Jak Collection: Jak & Daxter + Jak 2 + Jak 3 (If they announce Jak 4 this is a given...)

Wouldn't mind seeing a Ratchet collection but the games are fairly similar so I may as well boot up Tools or Crack.

ReservoirDog3165082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

If anyone has any suggestions, it's kinda useless posting them on n4g. Instead, why don't you try:

morganfell5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

MGS, MGS2, and MGS3 have not been given hi res remaster for the PS3.

a_squirrel5082d ago

mgs remastered :)
resident evil?
killzone 1?
theres sooo many.....

NeoBasch5082d ago

The Silent Hill collection sounds delicious. Do it, Konami!

SaiyanFury5082d ago

I got the survey in my email tonight. I said the Ratchet & Clank series, Jak & Daxter series, as well as the PS2 Tenchu games. I should've also suggested the MGS games. They're legendary games as well.

Palodios5082d ago

A Squaresoft/Enix box set would be nice. Any combination of Chrono Cross, Valkyrie Profile, Xenogears,FFT, Einhander, BFM...

weazel5081d ago

Clover collection please mr 'n mrs Sony.

Parapraxis5081d ago

@SaiyanFury ,
got it as well.
suggested : Jak games, R&C games and Shadow of Collosus & ICO.
I also said I'd love to see some FF collections, but it's a long shot.

Sidewinder-5081d ago

Timesplitters 2 was god, and it damn deserves a HD reincarnation. Crytek own Free Radical now so they probs got other ideas. Hell, i'm waiting for Timesplitters 4!

Noctis Aftermath5082d ago

Final Fantasy X + Final Fantasy XII collection.

Only put X-2 on the disc if it can fit but still keep the price at $40.

truehunter5082d ago

Noctis Aftermath, BD has 25GB Single Layer. Avg PS2 games are well 3.5GB, times 3 = 10.5GB. With add of improve to 720p or even 1080p is enought. if you ask me they can at less put well over 9 Titles in Dual layer.
Just to make it clear. FF1 to 12 can be all in one disc. Tho iono about FF11, sence there could be so much update with alot of data.

X-Frame5082d ago

If they could put FF1-FFXII on 1 dual-layer Blu-Ray that would be one hell of a collection.

SaiyanFury5082d ago

Personally, I didn't care for FFX. FF11 was online only so I never played it. FFX-2 was merely an extention of FFX so I doubt I'd care for it. FF12 might be cool in HD, I loved Fran's high heels animation (I'm a sucker for women in high heels). Seeing 12 in HD would be cool.

RedDevils5081d ago (Edited 5081d ago )

that funny I like ffx way more than 12, cause 12 was so boring imo even for 2 buck I wouldn't buy it I would probably throw it to the dog hahaaha

Meryl5081d ago

lol i put that idea on ps blog but i think someone already posted it, I would buy it in a heartbeat if it came out it would nice to relive the days where FF was a masterpiece

With an all areas accessible mode where all maps are on one giant map and you just fly to Vice City or Liberty City or San Andreas at any time. Completely open, so when you are playing with Tommy Versetti and you aren't doing missions, you can fly over to San Fiero and do whatever.

Also Liberty and Vice City Stories are on the disk with a new San Andreas stories.

I know that this isn't a Sony franchise and they would really have no say in this, but it would be cool none the less!

tinybigman5082d ago

along with the dark cloud, R&C, J&D, and Kingdom Hearts

gamelova5082d ago

Dark Cloud/Dark Cloud 2 to support the release of Dark Cloud 3. Please God!!!

3nd3rth35082d ago

Also, I'm fairly certain this has to be Sony IP only. A lot of people here seem to be throwing in names like Kingdom Hearts, MSGS, etc... Those won't happen unless the studios that made the game put out the remastered version.

Dark Cloud series on the other hand, more than well deserved of a remastering.

sikbeta5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

You need to do it SONY!!!

I want:

TEAM ICO Collection HD
JAK Collection HD
Ratchet Collection HD
MGS2+MGS3 Collection HD
RE Collection HD just Port and put REø + REmake + RE2 + RE3 + RE4 in One BRD...
And more...

5082d ago
Cenobia5082d ago

Team Ico, Legacy of Kain, and Mark of Kri would be great collections

akiraburn5082d ago

Awesome. This would be great news. And on that note, every one of the replies here has hit a key game or game series that really deserves a revamping. With all that they did to the GoW collection, if that same amount of quality enhancement and added content is provided, I feel that definitely makes it worth purchasing. And there are a LOT of games I would love to see handled this way, and would definitely warrant a $40 purchase for me. My favorites and definite interests for remakes would probably be:

Metal Gear Solid series
Ico / Shadow of the Colossus
Yakuza 1 / Yakuza 2
Resident Evil 4 / Resident Evil: Code Veronica
Dark Cloud / Dark Cloud 2
Final Fantasy X / Final Fantasy XII
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City / San Andreas
Jak and Daxter series
Ratchet and Clank series
Sly Cooper series
Kingdom Hearts series
Zone of Enders 1 / Zone of Enders 2
Onimusha series
Hitman series
Okami

Reibooi5082d ago

Persona 3 and 4 would be awesome.

But if this is only Sony owned IP's that's not gonna happen.

A Xenosaga collection would be awesome. Those games(Episode 3 in particular) would look really good remastered and being able to play them all on one disc would be awesome.

I would basically like to see any good series on PS3 get that treatment.

MGS 2-3, The whole Onimusha series, the whole DMC series, Silent Hill 2 and 3(add for if ya want but I wouldn't miss it). Zone of the Enders 1 and 2.

Alot more but yeah to many to list.

Spydr075082d ago

Persona would be awesome. Persona 4 should have been HD to begin with, if you ask me. Lazy Atlus.

At you below me, cgoodno, would love to see Parasite Eve redone. Tho I wasn't too fond of the sequel. Something about the atmosphere of it turned me off a bit.

Personally, I would want Valkyrie Profile 1 and 2. VP 2 had some crazy puzzles in the Seraphic Gate. Some of them took me hours to figure out.

I think FF as a whole is overrated (sorry people). Every FF (7+) game had something in it I hated in the end. Seven was too slow and I hated the choco sidequest to get KotR. Eight...enemy levels were based on yours so you could beat the game and run from every random encounter. Nine the main characters were like fifteen years old. Yup, babies save the world! And Ozma gets the vote for the stupidest optional boss ever (a round globe, really?) Ten had the 'capture every fiend' quest for the optional dungeon. Eleven had grinding, storyline crap that required alliances, etc. Twelve had a horrible story, too many items had low drop rates, etc. It just sucked. And XIII, well, let's kill stupid turtles for as long as it took to beat the main game for what? Oh, yeah, to fight the hardest monster in the game. ANOTHER TURTLE (Long Gui). Retarded.

Sorry. /endrant on why FF should not be remade.

Christopher5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

The obvious ones:
- MGS 1-3
- ICO + Shadow of the Colossus
- GTA (all)

Personal Favorites:
- Parasite Eve 1 & 2
- Okami
- Silent Hill 1 & 2
- Resident Evil 4
- Persona 3FES & 4
- Kingdom Hearts

Reibooi5081d ago

I would LOVE to see Parasite Eve 1 and 2 but considering they are PS1 games they would need a hell of a lot more then a simple remastering. They would need to be redone with a new engine or something. A remastering would make them look worse if anything as it would bring out the weakness of the game engine from back then.

RedDevils5081d ago

what with listing random games, you need to know remaster is only possibly be done by Sony own ip not konami square capcom

Microsoft Xbox 3605082d ago

Socom 2 HD running on PSN please. I'd pay 200 bucks for that remake.

Remmulak5082d ago

I have heard great things of Shadow of colossu and Ico. Would love to play them on the PS3 in HD.

It would be a day one purchase for me.

BattleAxe5082d ago

I did the survey tonight and I suggested that they bring out MGS2 and MGS3 out as a remastered collectors edition. I know this is a long shot, but I also suggested that they make a remastered collectors edition for SOCOM 1,2,3 and Combined Assault. Could you imagine if they combined all the Socom maps and intergrated them with the PSN? That would be the best thing since sliced bread.

MEsoJD5082d ago

Since it was basically only a japanese release, theres alote of

content English speaking players have missed out on.

ThanatosDMC5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

Just make the cell be able to play PS2 games on all our PS3s. I dont have BC anymore sadly. They can even let the PS3s copy the whole PS2 disk on the HDD and play it from there. I dont mind if it's 4gb-8gb big.

NeutralGamer5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

Give me Metal Gear Solid 3, Shadow of the Collosus or Final Fantasy X in 720p remastered and I'll buy a PS3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!

asyouburn5081d ago

if they put out atari collection on ps3, i'll buy one! /s

morkendo5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

all ps2 games remastered as blu-ray games on ps3
seem like they started off with super street fighter iv now raystorm HD ps3

Bravo45081d ago

Yakuza Collection
ICO Collection (High possibility of happening)
MGS Collection
Final Fantasy Collection
Kingdom Hearts Collection
Resident Evil Collection
GTA Collection
Tales of- Collection

DatNJDom815081d ago (Edited 5081d ago )

Shadow of the Colossus/Ico, MGS2/3 (even MGS if it can be done), Killzone, RE4, FFX,FFXII and I'll be good. Oh wait no I wont. PS2 had SOOO MANY great games! I honestly couldn't even begin cause I know I'm missing more.....

Pretty sure that hasn't been confirmed.

yes !! and Resident Evil 4 or MGS 1,2,3.

DaTruth5082d ago (Edited 5082d ago )

Just finished replaying MGS2(should have replayed it before playing MGS4). That game is a pretty good alternative to current gen and wouldn't need much work.

My PS3 just died, so I broke out the PS2 and have been playing a few old PS2 games. Weird that my 9 yr old PS2 is still functioning when my PS3 is dead, but my PS2 was in the shop a few times itself!

Both have thousands of hours of operating time on them, so I'm not really mad!

Sevir045082d ago

The Onimusha Series 1-4 all on Bluray with 1080p 60fps.
I would soo love to play through onimusha 3 and 4 they were impressively well made games on the PS2.

Cajun Chicken5082d ago

I want HD Ratchet and Jak quadrilogies. Ratchet more so though, it would also be great for those who only jumped into Ratchet on PS3 too, High Impact Games could probably do a really good port.

beavis4play5082d ago

except i'd want the J&D series more.

Cajun Chicken5082d ago

Call me odd, but I'd just like to see the whole R&C series on PS3 and play the online modes of both R&C3 and Gladiator.

And yeah, obviously I want Jak. But on my EU PS3, both Jak 2 and 3, X work perfectly, the Ratchets on the other hand, just don't work, terrible buggy framerates.

tunaks15082d ago

Am i the only one that is against re-doing these games?
Why not leave them as testimonials to how awesome they were in their times?

Its kinda like updating the Special fx in the original star wars movies. Sure it looks better but why are we going back and covering up the masterpieces that were achieved?

ClownBelt5082d ago

Cause not all of us played it? Cause the prices of some of the old titles spikes like crazy in price? Cause people want to experience it again with added bonus?

tunaks15082d ago

"Cause the prices of some of the old titles spikes like crazy in price"
I dunno about you but I saw Shadow of the colossus and GOW 2 for 18 at gamestop. I just feel playing the game at its original state is more authentic.

riddlesticks5082d ago

It probably says something about me but I started playing FFVII recently and couldn't keep on playing cos really... it looked awful compared to what I've been used to lately. I know gameplay > graphics but theres only so much I can take. Especially on my 42" tv. So I guess in that sense re-doing the game wouldnt be too bad.

Cenobia5082d ago

ICO is incredibly rare, so I think that is what Clown is talking about.

Also, the PS2s weren't known for lasting very long. I'm sure the slims are fine, but I don't think most people are gonna downgrade if they have a non PS2 compatible PS3.

gamingisnotacrime5082d ago

FF7 is not a remake, is just a PS 1 game made available on PSN, and playing it on the PSP is the better way to enjoy it because on the big tv looks awful and depressing.
GoW Collection proved me that some great titles can be even better at locked 60 fps and HD glory, that remake was brilliant.
ICO and SotC should work perfectly, just like MGS series. Many PS2 owners missed ICO and SotC, and Ico current price is unacceptable (although i got it for $8 at gamestop last year but i just saw it at $80, lol). i will support this remake collection as long as they are priced at $40 (more than one game on a sweet bluray with extra content) and the games are true classics. this is way better than having a BC PS3, because even with the upscaling GoW series on PS2 still dont look near as good as the GoW collection

riddlesticks5082d ago

Yeah I know it wasn't a remake. I was responding to "tunaks1" who said he was against remakes and would prefer just to leave them as they originally were "as testimonials to how awesome they were in their times". I was pointing out just how bad they look today... but thanks for the tip. I might just start playing it again. Pfft at the very least it would give me an excuse to wipe the dust of my PSP.

ReservoirDog3165082d ago

It also gives more incentive for Sony to start up the series again. Say they do a Jak and Daxter collection and it sells pretty good. They might consider a Jak 4 (I honestly wouldn't want that since the story ended in 3 and it could possibly feel tacked on but I digress).

Remmulak5082d ago

I disagree. If you could play the games on an HDTV looking exactly how it did when you could play it when it was released I might agree. I try playing the game now on my HDTV and it looks soooo bad, I can't play them.

Ranking the God of War Games

Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.

ClayRules2012530d ago

I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.

But here’s how I rank them

5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.

MrNinosan530d ago

My same ranking exactly, with Ragnarök at #1.

ClayRules2012529d ago

Wow, that’s pretty interesting that someone has the same ranking as me haha. So, did you beat Ragnarok? I assume so with you placing it at #1

Flawlessmic530d ago

1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1

Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.

CrimsonWing69530d ago

I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.

However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.

I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.

robtion530d ago

I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.

A Look at How Well the Vita Works as a Portable PS3

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "As the Vita provides a brilliant portable legacy experience for Sony’s other two home consoles (PS1 and PS2), I decided to focus this article on the next in line – the PlayStation 3. Unlike its predecessors, the PS3 far outpaces Vita in terms of power, on top of being built on an extremely unique architecture which meant porting between the two wasn’t as straightforward as it could have been. Still, thanks to engine compatibility and some brilliant efforts from developers, the two consoles shared numerous pieces of software and, where this wasn’t possible, others sought to provide bespoke experiences instead. Altogether this means that the Vita does a pretty good job at providing a portable PS3 experience."

FallenAngel19842014d ago

“Sony may have advertised Vita as ‘console quality on the go’, which irritated many buyers due to games with reduced framerates and graphical elements being released“

Why would some people complain about that then but praise the Switch now for doing the same thing?

“The PS3 might not be remembered as Sony’s finest hour in gaming”

I and many others see PS3 as Sony’s best console

Neonridr2014d ago (Edited 2014d ago )

The Switch still offers the same game though. Sure in docked mode the game may have run at a higher resolution or framerate, but the game was still the same in terms of content. Most Vita games were altered from any console equivalents (unless they were smaller indie titles). Look at Call of Duty for example, which made a horrible transition and this was a game that they bundled with the Vita and tried to promote. That's not to say there weren't some great titles on Vita though. Killzone and Uncharted were great and closely mirrored the console games while offering a new story.

Razmiran2013d ago

I remember the early fps hype on the vita was murdered after a few botch jobs (Borderlands, Call of duty, Resistance) which helped put some nails on the "Portable triple A" coffin
Killzone Mercenary was awesome tho

EddieNX 2013d ago

The Switch is doing a much better job of delivering on that premise perhaps?

InKnight7s2013d ago

Because Switch is much larger device + a gen years later device, and despite of that the gap isn't that much.

Bruh2013d ago

The PS3 was the most revolutionary console of its time, Blu Ray, built in WiFi, bluetooth for its accessories, the Cell

It was a multi-media powerhouse

SierraGuy2013d ago

Same ... anyone who disagrees is confused.

@neon...you bring up COD at least that game made it to Vita. We still have yet to see it on Switch I might remind you.

When developers are asked if COD would make it to Switch...they laugh... because it's funny.

Neonridr2012d ago

but look at Doom and Wolfenstein 2 for example. Those games are identical. Sure some sacrifices to resolution or framerate had to be made, but it's still the same game. That was my point. No larger studio games made the transition over to the Vita and remained the same, they were usually stripped down versions much like Wii versions of games compared to the 360/PS3 at the time.

Razmiran2012d ago

That pitiful CoD game on vita was pure trash, you cant even use it as an "At least"

TekoIie2012d ago (Edited 2012d ago )

"Why would some people complain about that then but praise the Switch now for doing the same thing?"

Because the Vita never delivered whereas the Switch delivered day 1. BotW was easily big budget AAA console quality and seeing as it won GOTY it's clear that it succeeded. If we look back at the Vitas initial games from Sony like Uncharted they felt like discount versions of the prior releases in the franchise. BotW stands alongside the top releases in it's franchise. There's a clear difference there.

The Switch is doing the same thing but succeeding. That's why it gets a pass. There were a few gems on the Vita but they were so few and far between that they couldn't be impactful and help the system grow.

TekoIie2012d ago (Edited 2012d ago )

@protagonist

Then refute what I wrote. List all the games that are comparable to a big budget AAA game that would release on the PS3 and how they helped the Vita sell.

But Sony decided to take it out and release a separated failed Vita TV...

Aww... Vita could have been the Switch, but Sony got greedy and worried Vita will capitalize on PS4 market...
