[Famitsu] Jim Ryan - "More Details to come on PS Classic Titles on PS4/PS5 but they're looking great"

"Not me though, when I looked at it, I thought: Why would anybody play this?"
OP
OP
I'd definitely take more in-depth Emu features over trophies as well.
Unfortunately we are in minority. Most people I know keep praying for older games with trophies as a reason to replay them😔
That is kinda crazy to me. I don't care about trophies in modern games, let alone retro games.
Well there's an easy fix for that... bring forward previous purchases. :)
I don't think that anywhere says that there will be more 340 new retro games. IT's says that adds up 340 games to the previous tier, Plus Extra. What is a little odd because Now has 400 PS3 games available..

Sony's investment into programs like these is always so incredibly half assed. Piss poor, title by title solutions that make them work considerably harder than simply building an emulator to run at a system level. It's also precisely why I couldn't care less about the top PS+ tiers, because I won't be able to use *my* PS1 / PS2 discs in my PS5 to play those games, I can only play what they deem "worthwhile" to put into whatever emulation container they've made for that specific game.
I was gonna say. PS Now has 370 PS3 games on it.
The Premium tier having 340+ extra PS3, PS1 and PSP games either means very few of the PS1 and PSP stuff or they're getting rid of LOADS of the current PS3 titles.
"Looks great" says literally nothing. Give me data and facts.
We've seen journalist/reviewer telling others how good and high res the fps modes in certain games look until the game releases and everyone could instantly see it's blurry 1080p or less. This is such a nothing statement.
I really hope they get this right, this would be so great.

"but they're looking great!"
The worst person to give that quote. lol
Jim Ryan soon will be out here like "Look at these PS1 & PS2 games! Why wouldn't anyone want to play these games? I love wobbly textures and jagged edges! They're the best!"

I really hope not. Rogue Galaxy had these vertical lines that were visible and prevalent almost the entire time and it was incredibly distracting
All in the eyes of the beholder. I think N64 games look great on the Switch OLED screen but Nintendo put minimal effort into them and many think they look shit.
Flashbacks to people flipping out about the lack of PS5 info.
there's a big difference between corporate man hearing from someone else that they look 'great', and alex from DF scrolling through his 10 predator visions and analysing them in a language which is indecipherable to 99.9% of humanity
i think i'll wait for the DF analysis to determine what 'great' means

This is by far going to be the shittiest like-for-like comparison with GamePass/Xbox BC. Regardless of the specific game selection, any Xbox 360 game running on Xbox Series at a minimum takes advantage of the newer hardware to hit their target framerate, if not better.
PS3 games on PS Now on the other hand, are reliant on streaming tech with variable input lag *and* still run at native PS3 performance, which, for many games, even first-party ones, means sub-20fps. It's just going to be horrid experience playing smooth-running PS1/PS2 and PS4/PS5 games while the PS3 ones run like molasses.
A lot of the PS3 titles aren't great to be fair. A lot of Damnation tier games, obscure indies and shovelware.
OP
OP
I also don't really WANT BC enhancements for PS1 games. I like the juddery look, it's all part of the retro charm. I just don't want it looking blurry.
yup. look at sonys "efforts" when it comes to classic games. they will barely deliver the absolut minimum.
They really should've been prepared to tell us some of these PS1, PS2, and PSP games today. We basically know nothing more than what we already heard from rumors.
Some gems are still locked on these systems:
Capcom vs snk 2
Silent hill 1-2-3-4
Vagrant story
FF Tactics
Dragon quest VII
Dragon quest VIII
Valkyrie profile 1 and 2
Star ocean 3
Gran turismo 1-2-3-4
Ridge racer 4
Tekken 1-2-3
Etc etc
It would be nice ti be able to play them in improved form.
A few people were sad about the lack of Vita love. What games were on Vita that aren't already on PS4? Uncharted is one I can think of.
I expect to be able to play my already purchased digital PS1/2/P games on PS4/5 and to able to buy games individually.
Everything else would be a massive blunder.

Killzone Mercenary, Uncharted, Freedom Wars and Soul Sacrifice (Delta) to name the most popular.
I have no idea what to make of this. How does your premium legacy catalog spanning four platforms have fewer titles than your current service providing that features just one of those?
Every single one of you saying "they should just talk to the rpcs3 developers" or "it can't be that hard" just reek of shitty armchair dev. Clearly no idea about how software dev cycles work.
OP
OP
IMO, I feel like having options for what "look" you want is best. Because having no filter/upscaling for a lot of these games makes them look hella ugly on an HDTV these days (I recently popped in Parasite Eve into my PS3 on my 4K, gross). If you want that true feeling you need to play on a CRT but with that said having stuff like a Scanline Filter and other elements scaled up is a good way to get the "feel" of that era without having to deal with the lower aspects.
This would have landed so much better for Sony if they had the classic games already locked down. The lack of details and blog post announcement says a lot about how this "new service" is viewed internally at Sony.
This has just been bashed out before then end of the tax year so they can push to investors that they are going to grow the online service income of the PlayStation division. I'm sure they're passionate people within Sony who are working on this and are excited about a chuck on PlayStation's entire history being represented all in one place.

Duckstation is the way, RRT4 runs especially well on that :'D

That's true, and this is a phenomena I saw from people with the recent FF Pixel Remasters, and now have experienced myself. I'm having nostalgia for the YouTube videos I've seen of these games rather than how the games actually looked on release.
A few that I can think of off the top of my head is Freedom Wars, Killzone, and Resistance
I am not bothering with this if they can't get those games up to modern resolutions. Emulators have been doing this for years and if you have concerns about compatibility issues then lock the higher resolutions behind a "Boost Mode" features like they had for older PS4 games on the PS4 Pro.
OP
OP
There's definitely a good chunk of Vita stuff they can still pull from, especially since it would scale well much like PS2 and PSP titles will as well.
Maybe no like all-time mega-hits that would rock the gaming world, but solid stuff that would appeal to your hardcore base (Who's going to be the people most interested in retro games anyway).

Cosidering how shit the PS1 Classic was I'll wait for independent impressions first.
Did they ever fix PS2 emulation on PS5. I know a lot of the games had graphical glitches, I don't consider them playable on PS5.
I'd love a high resolution version of Soul Sacrifice

I hope they constantly add to the library as the months go on and I hope one day they allow for PS3 emulation and not just streaming but I guess that depends on consumer interest and showing said interest to Sony.

We might need someone higher up that really pushes for it (Just getting PS1, PSP, and more PS2 titles is a good foot forward though).
So many PS3 titles being left on the side is sad to see. Especially when so many deserve to run better than their current low 20's FPS
Wild idea that is totally not happening at least in regards to the OG trilogy for Resident Evil. What if those hi-res updated screens from RE-RE2-RE3 from the count up countdown to RE's 25th Anniversary last year were in fact screens for their release as part of the new PlayStation service? Not at all likely, but would be cool
About half your list hasn't been stuck on PS1/PS2 for some time or ever.
Yeah it's clearly more complex than that.
OP
OP
I actually think this will be how it happens (Since Capcom seems to have no interest in doing it themselves).
As long as the content on this service is handled by Sony and just needs the ok from Capcom to happen, it should be easy enough.
The biggest issue will be who is handling the adding of games? Apparently the PS2 on PS4 wasn't by anyone in Japan (Which is why we were lacking a lot of Japanese content and there were only like 5 PS2 on PS4 titles even released in Japan). That's a barrier that needs to be sorted to assure certain titles aren't getting skipped over.
I've bought many ps1 games in my ps3 days, hell, the first months of PS+ gave Syphon Filter 1
I want to know if my purchases will be available on ps4!
