Rumor: PS2 Games On PS Vita – God of War II Image Surfaces

GxC: "It has already been confirmed that all downloadable PSP titles and PSOne Classics will be playable on the Vita. Well, thanks to some new images that surfaced, it looks like more news may be on the way. These photos that were simply showing off the Vita OS seem to also suggest that PS2 titles may indeed be playable on the PS Vita."

Sounds possible. Very possible. I bet PS2 games look better on the Vita than they do on the back. compatible PS3's!

Nitrowolf24661d ago (Edited 4661d ago )

nvm my bad I wasn't paying attention to the logo image above lol.
That would be awesome. Maybe it's part of the collection though like they have separate PSN PS2 HD remaster title.

ThatMiamiGuy4661d ago

Yeah, that extra line there kind of does throw you off but the icon on the top clearly shows II. So it's still a little unclear, but it would still be awesome to have them on the Vita.

blumatt4661d ago (Edited 4661d ago )

I hope they bring PS2 Classics to the PSN Store for use on the PS3 and PS Vita. I'd love to play some GTA San Andreas on the PS3 and then take it on the go with my Vita, all the while using the Cloud save feature given to me with PS+, for seemless transitions between the two consoles.

BattleAxe4661d ago

If they release the PS2 Socom series on the Vita with properly maintained servers, then I will pre-order the Vita no questions asked.

hqgamez4661d ago

You can fight like a Krogan, Run like a Leopard, but you'll never be better than Commander Shepard!

arjman4661d ago

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite handheld in the galaxy

farhad2k84661d ago

A whole bunch of Epicness rolled in to one black ball called the PS VITA.
Wouldn't mind a bit of Gran Turismo 4 on this until Polyphony decide to make an official Vita Gran Turismo.

Stealth2k4661d ago

why would I want god of war 2 ps2 when god of war hd collection puts it to shame?>

Nitrowolf24661d ago

I'm thinking these are the standalone on PSN and not actually PS2 games. Meaning HD PS2 games will be on Vita.

Stealth2k4661d ago

theres no evidence for that

Xof4661d ago

Probably.

I would be excited... if there was a decent library of HD PS2 games out there. Seriously, the HD Classics series sucks. Way, way, way too many games missing.

PSVita4661d ago

i think i'll be able to play all ps2 games that are on the psn.

DaTruth4661d ago

The only HD classics we're gonna get are of games that have a counterpart releasing on PS3 or Vita, to market a game and make it more viable for people who never had a PS2!

silvacrest4661d ago

this is all speculation atm so there's no point in getting upset or hyped just yet

You must have missed the point: portability.

i_da_pappy4661d ago

GIVE A U.S. RELEASE DATE ALREADY!!

Undeadwolfy4660d ago

Hey, and a Europe release date e.e

contra1574661d ago

What sony should've done was make a device that uploads your psp games onto the vita instead of the downloadable ones. That would have been killer or even a device that uploads ps2 games also

Nitrowolf24661d ago (Edited 4661d ago )

Piracy would be an issue with that. Unless i am mistaken and your saying another hardware that connects to Vita.

contra1574661d ago

If they did it in a controlled way so it could not be duplicated for other use, only for the vita. Sony does all that and brings back the PS2 games , it would be a great way to stay relevant. especially with all these mobile phones and all in one devices making their move now. sony would be backed with a ALOT of games.

Ddouble4661d ago

Looks like it says God of War III to me. The last I is blurry because of the resolution but it looks like it's there or maybe i'm seeing things.

Nitrowolf24661d ago

I saw that to, but look at the top part of it. It def. looks like it says III, but the the logo on top says II

JL2930198d ago

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12198d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle198d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh198d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90198d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930197d ago (Edited 197d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker198d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

TheEnigma313198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim198d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52198d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12198d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90198d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72198d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52198d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker198d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno198d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno198d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90197d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno197d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.

isarai229d ago

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow228d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga228d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183228d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB228d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic228d ago (Edited 228d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo228d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic227d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

MadLad543d ago

I don't know about 20, but I know Dragon Quest VIII, FFXII, and Persona 3 are my top 3.

No particular order. Not a huge JRPG guy, but these hit it home for me.

Flawlessmic543d ago

Fairly solid list, would only change a few, I'd put onimusha in there, ico, personally would have vice city.

Then again I'd double up on some series dmc 1, all 3 gtas, both metal gears, all 3 jaks.

Ps2 was just crazily stacked really, every time I think back on it, those were the good days of gaming.

sagapo543d ago

Was thinking the same about Vice City. But yeah, solid list and great era of games!

shinoff2183543d ago

I still think ps1 was better game wise, but im sure thats an age thing depends on what you grew up with to an extent. I feel san andreas is to this day the best gta made. None compare 5 is close imo but just doesnt best it
