Thank you all for your feedback! It's makes my day knowing that select Vita games "might" be playable on PS4/PS5 if forces align. There are certainly a few incredible gems there for me. Soul Sacrifice is the best example. I'd love to see a port of that. I would play the heck out of that game and I know I am not alone on that. A sequel or a spiritual successor would be a dream!!
I have considered PSTV just for Soul Sacrifice, but I gave up on that because of the affordability.
Speaking of PSP titles, is a game list of some sort announced? I wonder if any of the Monster Hunter games will be playable? I love MHWI and I would love to experience the older titles on a bigger screen - even with average graphics.
Streaming and downloadable, exclusive to the service at least at this moment until we get more details.
No game list has been announced yet. We've just been slowly getting leaks from PSN and Korean ratings. So far for PSP we've seen hints at the Syphon Filter games and Ridge Racers 2. I kinda doubt Monster Hunter will be available, they haven't been available before as classics and they seem to like to re-release them as Ultimate editions... but you never know, there's only the couple PS2 games that would have been eligible for classics up to this point.
We don't know if PS1/PSP (and new PS2) classics will be purchaseable like current PS2 classics are. Some people think they will based on rumors and ratings (NSO games were not re-rated). PS3 definitely won't be downloadable or purchaseable though.
Mr. Driller and Tekken were available as PS3 classics. I don't think those Worms games or Ridge Racers have been available digitally before.
Well - Sony had texture filtering in PS1 games since March 2000, and remappable controls circa 2006.
Perspective correction I wouldn't bet on - but then again when they brought out HD-resolution for PS2 that came out of nowhere, and it was implemented more robustly than any emulator before (or after), so who knows.
SharePlay coop works surprisingly well. And client does not even need to own the game!
I'm not sure they'd want to promote a feature that potentially discourages a game sale.
Like, I can play LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga with my nieces and nephews without them having to buy a copy of the game. While that's awesome for us, the gamer, I can see why they wouldn't be shouting such a feature from the rafters. Especially for co-op games like that.
In general, the Share Play feature has been a touted feature by Sony, but this particular perk of the service is understandably kept low key.
I honestly didn't even think of using it that way until I saw someone mention it on this forum a few weeks back.
Yeah that makes sense. It definitely is a very cool feature I'm gonna start making use of.
They did when it came out to PS4 and have a bit since then. I've used it since release, have done full on coop seasons of NHL 17.
Yeah, it's definitely a really cool feature! I honestly can't believe I never tried it that way before lol
Izanagi89 I must work for the next hours, so I wont be able to update the thread if more leaks show up.
I trust that in my absence if more leaks happen you can post here and update everyone on it.
Don't dissapoint me :P
It's midnight here so I'm hitting the hay. Alas you are the sole provider of PSN leaks for now 😭
Sure, but never at the same time. Bilinear filtering was only on the PS2 because while the MIPS R3000 was built in but the GTE was emulated.
When they switched to pure software emulation with the PS3 they introduced remappable controls, but there was no support for any form of texture filtering.
Oh look, I don't think it's likely, but if they bump the resolution some form of perspective correction should follow because the aesthetic really falls apart above 240p when you have the waterbed polygons wobbling everywhere. Being able to disable dithering as well would go a long way (although it does break the visuals in some games).
For co-op to work on Share Play, both users need to be Plus subscribers, otherwise only the "pass the controller" function works.
So Sony would still get a cut through the subs.
No their own wording (somewhere I don't have it for proof) they said every game on their store that goes for a $1 amount WILL have trophies. So if they sell these games individually it's 90% going to have trophy support (how ever lame it will be/ maybe not a full list or plat). If they go back on that they will have as much angry people as there are right now for being denied service to redeem their PSN codes.
Ah, that's good to know! It makes sense that it'd require PS+, but my comments were more about the software sales. I'm sure they wouldn't be too happy if everyone just share-played their co-op games instead of those people buying a copy of the game itself. Especially 3rd parties, who I don't believe get a cut of any subscription services Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo provide. Or a cut that makes the loss of software sales any less stinging.
Since I still have my uncle's PS2 (still working after close to 19 years of existence!), I really don't mind if the PS2 library is a slow start. I just want to see the PS1 goodness.
But them? Fuck that. Let me download the ones I bought 10 years ago.Please let me just buy them
I just hope that we get to buy these things and because I assume the PS6 onward will carry your libraries forward we can maybe use this as a foundation to eventually have PS1, PS2, PSP , etc... libraries continue for the generations to come without rebuying them, etc...
No excuse for PS6 and beyond to not be able to run these. BC should be mandatory now.
All I want is the PS1 version of Ape Escape and I won't put it past Sony to only put up the PSP version.
Yup which is why a begrudgingly am okay with rebuying some old games yet again if it means I don't need to as long as PS consoles and my PS account exists.
Nah Ape Escape 1 being released likely won't be an issue I can see them doing both the PSP remake and the PS1 classic.
The Japanese only Ape Escape games and/or Ape Escape Pumped and Primed and/or games were they had other publishers dub the game for other regions are what is iffy.
Will Sony bother to redub or dub/localize these games? I hope so, at least eventually.
I'm extremely wary of "they should add trophies," because PS2 on PS4 never came to my region (Japan).
Eh, the PS1 version was never on PS3/Vita because of the PSP version, and I 100% will not be shocked if they just don't bother with it again.
I like how we already assume that even PS6 won't be able to handle PS3 emulation (just joking as I assume that's part of the "etc."). We are gonna be in the Dune timeline and it will still be impossible to properly emulate PS3. Sony just needs to ask Kutaragi for the design already because clearly he snuck off with all the data
Well I hope they figure out PS3 emulation this gen and bring over tons of PS3 titles so that the PS6 gen will just have us continue that library forward to the PS6, 7, etc... and maybe even PC
I hope current Sony is more retroactive in putting up everything then their PS3 era self.
Exactly. I don't mind buying them again if I will be able to play them on a PS console for decades to come.
Honestly, with Retroacheivments being a thing and adding PS2 support likely sometime within the next 2 years I'd rather an official solution like this focus its economic resources on getting as many licenses as possible to have as much of the PS1/PS2/PSP library available to a general audience as possible over trophy support.
Ape Escape 2 still doesn't work on PS5. 😭
I'm fully expecting nothing from Ape Escape to be on Premium. I will be over the moon if we get AE1 though. 3 is impossible due to the MGS stuff…
I would like to see Pumped & Primed and Million Monkeys too please.
Yeah Ape Escape 2, Okage, and some other pS2 games have issues on PS5, I hope Sony fixes them and updates them before the service goes live. 😭
Oh Okage has issues too? I bought that on sale years ago but never got around to it. Gonna have to plug the PS4 back in when I get around to it.
Think I have Dark Cloud 2 and Rogue Galaxy to get to too.
If these are on the service I imagine they won't have trophies included and the PS4 editions will be unique in that respect.
Dark Cloud 2 is fine, I am playing it now with maybe having slight tearing during the circus but all in all fine.
Okage though had issues.
OP
OP
By far the thing I want to see the most, though who knows if Konami gives enough of a shit to sign off on them for the service. At least MGS4 was on PSNOW long enough so that gives me some hope. Yes I know that's supposedly leaving but fingers crossed that's more a licensing thing pending renewal for the new service launch.
