Finally, Jak X didn't work on my 60gb PS3.

 

[LordofPwn]

Now bring Ratchet & Clank PS2 games, then Sly, then DQVIII.

Great step in the right direction. will buy all the Jak games

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Nice.

Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and the first two God of War games next, please.

 

[Brandon F]

Didn't that remaster suck? Or was it only bad on Vita

Only played Jak 1 on PS3 and don't recall a problem. It is possible the Vita had performance issues, but I never tried it.

 

[potatohead]

But there was a PS3 HD remaster? This seems kind of odd.

Yep.

That version is probably better.

 

[fixuis]

Good stuff, will these be remastered or remakes or just upscaled ?

 

[Onaco]

Can we bring back the glitchfest that is Jak X online?

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Still waiting for the friggin Ape Escape 3. Was one of the first ''leaked'' titles too ._.

 

[brawly]

Precursor Legacy is bought. Now we just need the Sly/Ratchet trilogy and Ico+SotC.

 

[Zalman]

I think I'm content with my PS3 versions. Especially since those were released on a disc.

 

[Kresnik258]

And I will buy these games for a fourth time, lol.

Still a bit gutted we never got Jak X on Vita though.

 

[WITHE1982]

Gonna give these a miss as I only played through the trilogy again on PS3 a year ago.

I may end up picking up Jak X if it's available as a standalone though.

 

[AgentOttsel]

Just read the PlayStation Blog article...

"Although there will be no online features you can still battle against your friends via splitscreen."
Welp, no online. =\ But at least the games are running at "1080p up-rendering" (that's not the same as upscaling, right?) and I can use Share Play.

Also, with this release, Crash Team Racing will be the only Naughty Dog game not on the PS4.

What about Way of the Warrior? :v

 

[Weiss]

I can't wait to replay the one good game in this series.

 

[WorldofMiku]

All we need is CTR and the PS4 will have every Sony Naughty Dog game.

Also, with this release, Crash Team Racing will be the only Naughty Dog game not on the PS4.

I don't count the remake Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, "Naughty Dog" games. The remake version is not developed in any way by Naughty Dog.

 

[minameissteve]

Yep.

That version is probably better.

The originals already ran at 60fps in widescreen. The remasters were brought up to 720p, but the PS2 to PS4 ports are usually running at a slightly higher resolution. These ports should be better than the remasters.

 

[Gator86]

this is an emulated version of the PS2 games. It will look bad and have poor performance

An excellent decision on Sony's part! Xbone BC is terrific and Sony has dropped the ball entirely on it. It's embarrassing.

 

[QuantumBro]

The PS2 classics has to be one of the biggest balls dropped by Sony this gen. Should've just ported over the HD collection from PS3.

 

[LewieP]

I don't count the remastered Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, "Naughty Dog" games. The remastered version is not developed in any way by Naughty Dog.

It's not even a remaster. It's a remake.

 

[Okami Haundo]

Not sure how I feel about this one. I'll be super happy to have access to these games again, but why not just re-release the HD collection on PS4? Hoping these aren't more than $10.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Fond memories of Jak1, so this is awesome and glad to see ps2 classics arent dead

 

[Goldboy]

I'm buying all of them. So excited for this.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

I already own the PS3 HD trilogy, so I'll probably only go for Jak X (and maybe The Precursor Legacy).

At this point I kinda also want The Lost Frontier just so I can finally satisfy my curiosity.

 

[WorldofMiku]

It's not even a remaster. It's a remake.

Oops. You're right. Wrong terminology.

 

[killroy87]

Kinda bullshit that I need to pay for these again, if I bought them on PS3. If Nintendo gets held over the fire for this, Sony should too.

 

[Burbeting]

Still waiting for the friggin Ape Escape 3. Was one of the first ''leaked'' titles too ._.

It's possible they might have to sort out stuff with Konami, since Mesal Gear Solid was a thing.

 

[Brazil]

I'm very glad they're back at bringing PS2 games to PS4.

 

[teiresias]

The PS2 classics has to be one of the biggest balls dropped by Sony this gen. Should've just ported over the HD collection from PS3.

Did the "HD remaster" really remaster anything besides resolution anyway? Even that was only 720p.

 

[EekumBokum]

Why not just port the PS3 remaster? I'd rather spend money on that then this. It's not like this is free BC.

 

[Schneider]

is it acceptable to start begging for a reboot now?

 

[LAA]

An excellent decision on Sony's part! Xbone BC is terrific and Sony has dropped the ball entirely on it. It's embarrassing.

Except a reason people like X1 BC, (at least me and I'm sure many others), is you can insert the disc for the game and get access to the port or if you own it digitally you can just download the game on X1 now.
PS expects you to buy it again each time, that's something I wish they'd address, but doubt it with them pushing PS Now more.

 

[silva1991]

I'm 99% sure you don't realize there were games from Naughty Dog on Apple II, Sega Genesis and 3DO.

All we need is CTR and the PS4 will have every Sony Naughty Dog game. Here's to getting Way of the Warrior rights from Activision (?) and Rings of Power from EA.

I know they developed games before Crash. I'm only talking about their known games for Sony.

 

[Rymuth]

Oh shit! This gives me hope we'll get the God of War games on the PS4!

 

[Burbeting]

is it acceptable to start begging for a reboot now?

Jak is one of those IP that should be allowed to stay dead with dignity. Lost Frontier was already pretty bad.

 

[krae_man]

Never played Jak X so I might get that.

Already have the PS3 collection so I don't need to buy these again individually at a higher price.

 

[WorldofMiku]

Why not just port the PS3 remaster? I'd rather spend money on that then this. It's not like this is free BC.

As people mentioned, what is the difference in the PS3/Vita remaster except for the 720p and trophy support? Which this PS2 Classics port will have? (the PS4 port may even have better resolution than 720p)

 

[Jawmuncher]

Sony, please put Extermination on PS4 - PS2 Classics. Thank You.

 

[Unknown?]

So, its emulating the PS2 games?
Wont the PS3 HD remaster still look better then?

Plus the Ratchet one is on PS3 too.
Just keep a PS3 hooked up with the games downloaded, its what I do

I don't think they did any upgrades to that collection other than a res bump which this has as well.

 

[Icolin]

Holy shit. Day one.

 

[Acquiescence]

It's weird that they're porting the PS2 versions over to PS4 when you can get the games in HD on the PS3.

I'm getting cross-eyed here. Oh well, I've never played Jak X so I might grab that at some point.

 

[rjc571]

Awesome! Is there any chance the PS2 emulator on the PS4 could help mitigate the framerate drops and screen tearing present in Jak 2 and Jak 3? They ran like a dream on the PS2 in the smaller mission-based areas, but the city/desert hub areas were pretty rough.

 

[Triforce141]

Ratchet and Clank next, the HD collection for that was messy.

yeh but where's ape escape 3 at sony?

Maybe Mesal Gear Solid is holding them back from releasing it on PSN?

As long as the PS2 - PS4 versions run better than the Vita ports I'll be happy.

 

[KalBalboa]

I love the original Jak & Daxter. It's up there with Mario 64 for me in terms of delivering sheer 3D platforming joy.

Mixed feelings on this being a PS2 on PS4 release and not a port/remake a la the PS3 versions, which I thought were great, but we'll have to see how it performs. Digital Foundry will have some homework ahead of them.

 

[itsbenoclock]

There's a superior HD Collection on PS3 but here's the PS2 versions in 1080p!!!

Uhhhhhhhhhh...

 

[WorldofMiku]

It's weird that they're porting the PS2 versions over to PS4 when you can get the games in HD on the PS3.

It's not really weird for this collection in particular though...

There's a superior HD Collection on PS3 but here's the PS2 versions in 1080p!!!

Uhhhhhhhhhh...

What's so SUPERIOR about it?

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Didn't that remaster suck? Or was it only bad on Vita

It wasn't bad.

 

[Unknown?]

360 games are still readily available but most of the population doesn't have their old PS2 collection. A much larger percentage still have their 360 games though.

 

[rjc571]

As long as the PS2 - PS4 versions run better than the Vita ports I'll be happy.

That's a really low bar lol, the Vita ports ran at like a quarter of the framerate as they did on the PS2.

I don't think they did any upgrades to that collection other than a res bump which this has as well.

I think the FOV was zoomed in on the PS3 in all three games, meaning the PS2 games emulated on PS4 should be superior in all respects

 

[J-Skee]

Also, with this release, Crash Team Racing will be the only Naughty Dog game not on the PS4.

Everyone better buy the Crash Trilogy so that this can happen.
