We’ll have to double dip, though
Yesterday, Sony inadvertently published a video for Level-5’s role-playing game Dark Cloud ahead of its (unannounced) release on PlayStation 4 via emulation. Now, we have our confirmation.
Eight souped-up PS2 titles are headed to PS4 tomorrow:
- Dark Cloud — $14.99
- Grand Theft Auto III — $14.99
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City — $14.99
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas — $14.99
- Rogue Galaxy — $14.99
- The Mark of Kri — $14.99
- Twisted Metal: Black — $9.99
- War of the Monsters — $9.99
These and future titles will support 1080p (up-rendered), Trophies, and PS4 system features like Remote Play, broadcasting, and Share Play. Looking ahead, more PS2 games will be made available on a “regular basis,” including PaRappa the Rapper 2 and The King of Fighters 2000. Also, based on recent ratings board listings, Dark Cloud 2 and Ape Escape 2 (good lord, yes!).
I’m not thrilled about the prospect of paying for some of these games again, but if it means improved image quality and performance, and having quick access on my current console of choice, I’ll do it.
