Gather round friends, because I believe HipHopGamer may have been trying to tell us about Spartacus for years, and very few listened. Back then the most we were hoping for was PS4 BC and we got it, but the prospect of further BC to previous generations seemed slimmer by the day. Then recently we got Jason Schreier breaking news about Sony's project Spartacus which aims to have BC to multiple older generations of PlayStation console. Suddenly I remembered the words of the HipHopGamer and I'm wondering just how much might be true.
Back in early 2020 he was posting about a "remastering engine" that his sources had talked about:
Then in Oct 2020 he reiterated that his sources were telling him that this big BC push was still being worked on:
(skip to 43:15 for the BC stuff, and he goes more in-depth at 1:12:00)
Now that the existence of additional BC is all but confirmed (if Jason's reporting it, it's coming), I have to wonder if HipHopGamers reports of a remastering engine may be true. If so, we could be looking at buttload of enhanced BC games coming to Spartacus.
I've found HipHopGamer to be an interesting enough personality and he certainly seems to know a lot of industry folks as he interacts with them pretty regularly. I've been cautiously optimistic for years that his claims would come true, and I think we're a few months away from that point. Thus I will, without shame proclaim to the world, I BELIEVE IN HIPHOPGAMER!
Thank you :)
