However, the days are numbered now for gamers to make their final digital purchases of PS2 classics.

There would be so many games worthy of mini small budget sequels.Sony’s PlayStation 2 is still the best-selling console in gaming history, and thanks to the PS3’s PlayStation Network store, PS2 titles have been available for digital purchase more than 21 years after the console’s launch in 2000. MLB (at this point it just needs to be in the service and ties in with the rumored March reveal) Infamous (but something on the scale of First Light / the Vampire DLC for part 2) Heavy Rain 2 (The best concept so far, IMO of QD's style of games) There were so many amazing franchises during that time that just got left behind that I would love to see direct sequels to. The goal for PS3 IMO, would be adding it to Spartacus as native games, but also and more importantly getting Sequels / PS5 remasters of those PS3 games into Spartacus. The next thing would be game compatibility, as current emulation has around 65% of the library compatible, but I suspect PS5 to have way less to start off with due to license issues. Realistically if they go the emulation route they could upscale games from 1440p - 4K, which is an easy 4x resolution or 2x across both axis (720p x4 or 1080p x 4). Not to mention it feels like they are nickle and diming us more than they used to.Įmulation is the best bet at this point if it were to happen, and considering they finally have a console with a powerful enough CPU, it's possible, but only if they've been working on it for a while now which is possible considering all the constant patents and rumors. That last one will obviously never happen, especially since Sony is clearly showing they no longer care about goodwill/bonus points, and mostly only dredge up the past when they can make a buck from it.

Double bonus points if they can release a 'Handheld Reader' that would allow you to use your existing physical media. 720p looks OK on some titles, but absolutely soupy on others.īut I would be truly ecstatic to find them turning the PS5 into the PlayStation Games Hub, where you can play literally every one of their past console/handheld games on it.

I still have PS3 hooked up, but I'd really appreciate some basic upscaling if they manage a PS3 emulator at some point. We know PS3 emulation is coming along on PC, so if a bunch of hobbyists without direct access to all the ins-and-outs that Sony does, you'd think they could come up with something. If they even just started with the obviously easy ones, like PS1 and PS2, I'd be elated.
