Is Ridge Racers 2 what I thought was Ridge Racer 2 or is that a different game entirely?

 

[YCoCg]

Damn, I don't think I've ever seen such a high resolution clean PS1 cover art before outside of press kits.

It's the Japanese name

Saw this on wikipedia:

Ridge Racer 2, released in Japan as Ridge Racers 2[a], is an arcade-style racing game developed by Namco Bandai Games for the PlayStation Portable hand-held console, marking the 14th release in the Ridge Racer series and also the sequel to the PSP launch title Ridge Racer.

I also was thrown off by the Ridge Racers thing.

The more you know. Rainbow shooting star.

I know, now I have to decide between this Tekken 2 cover art and a lady lifting her sundress up to show her bum & foof:

psp game using the same name as the PS1 game in the west.

in japan it's called Ridge Racers 2

Really hope they bring something more than just straight emulation. These games will look awful as is on a big 4K tv.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Ooooo, now thats interesting.

Please have Ridge Racer Type 4 and Ridge Racer PSP versions. Aswell as so many other goodies

They would look great with CRT filters on 4K screens but I doubt Sony even knows what that is.

They seem to be adding games by publisher...these 3 are Namco Bandai so if they will include those you mentioned (at least day one releases) we'll know soon enough.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Mr Driller sounds kinky.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I played an obscene amount of Tekken 2 in my teens. I memorized all the moves of all the characters. Yoshimitsu were my all time favorite. Ahh, the memories.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I’ll say this one more time Sony’s confusing backwards compatibility is the worst thing ever.

lol

Because they look awful.

Spoiler

Old games look bad.

 

[Topher]

I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around playing a PSP game........on my 55" TV.

 

[sol_bad]

Does this mean we might be able to purchase individual games?

 

[ElCasual]

Just give Ridge Racer from PSP and I am in.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I think you're the one who's confused. How is this backwards compatibility?

 

[ManaByte]

 

[yurinka]

As I remember there was a website that listed the most recent games submitted/added to the PSN store. Do you remember the url? Maybe there are more games there.

OMG! Sorry GT7 but Ridge Racers 2 for PSP is the best 2022 racing game of the year.

I think you're the one who's confused. How is this backwards compatibility?

The PSP digital games were crossbuy between PSP, PS Vita and (and the PSP games that were PSOne Classics, PS Mobile and PS Minis) PS3.

If we're lucky they'll add to this list of crossbuy platforms PS4 and PS5. Meaning that if you bought digitally on PSP, PS Vita or PS3 you'd download and play them at no extra cost on PS4 and PS5.

That's how I know i won't play any of them. They are too outdated and will look horrible on a 55 inch 4ktv. PS3 games could have been good but they are streaming only!

 

[tommib]

Where’s my Tomb Raider 1996 and all From Software PS1/PS2 games?

 

[Kilau]

lol

A lot in this generation do but with filters, resolution boosts and texture warping correction they aren’t eye sores.

Top tier PS Plus comes with a complimentary CRT 19 inch. Comes in the mail.

Shaders/CRT filters evolved a lot, hopefully they'll make use of it.

 

[Elios83]

Looking forward to see the graphical improvements Jim Ryan hinted at in his recent interview with Famitsu.
Some PSP games are gems (see Ridge Racers) and I would love to see them playable on a big screen not looking awful.
Since we're just a little over a month from the asian launch I think we'll get many new infos in the coming weeks.

I do remember playing an old Tomb Raider game back in the day on PC, it had a tiger in it, it was around the times of quake, blood, lands of lore, duke Nukem etc, i remember it being awful, the controls were diabolical.

I hope the console versions were better than that one.

 

[TheTony316]

Can't wait to play MGS1 again, hopefully with some enhancements.

Yeah but still looks way uglier than an actual CRT. Not bad though.

Time to put your money where your mouth is. All this time people said they want the ability to play old games. If no one's willing to pay for it there's no incentive to bring down the cost.

You’re thinking Tomb Raider II. Those games are wonderful and play like checkers basically. They’re grid based. They’re not for everyone these days for sure but the original one is one of my favourite ever for the isolation, soundtrack and overall mood.

Here is me hoping for similar (but bug free) emulation like on PC. Played Dino Crisis there uprezzed not too long ago and though t looked great all things considered.

 

[Faithless83]

This is one version of it, there are several to all tastes.

 

[Trogdor1123]

How are the psp games going to play? There is only a single stick.

all of the kings field games with dual stick control added please!

 

[reezoo]

Wipeout XL please.. I know it won't happen because of sponsorship, tracks etc. : (

 

[TGO]

This is actually exciting... just a bit.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Did Sony hired someone to redo these covers? They look more crisp than my PS5 games.

 

[lh032]

cool.

So whens PS3 games?

 

[MikeM]

I want a list Sony. Now!

 

[Markio128]

These old games are great for nostalgia, but I rarely play them for more than 5 minutes.

 

[Fake]

Believe.

Opposite for me. My Series X is basically my back compat box. Always buy older games when they go on sale.

 

[Just_one]

now just give me those games with trophy support Sony.

it wont happen i know...

 

[Markio128]

I guess I’m from a generation that has been there and done that, so I don’t really see the attraction, but I can see it for others. I’d rather have a new Ridge Racer, than play the old one.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

cool.

So whens PS3 games?

RPCS3, or streaming the games Sony want you to

You get nothing else

 

[Naked Lunch]

Do we have any idea if these are for individual purchase - or is it just for the streaming thing?

I wouldn't worry too much about that, PSP games played excellent on Vita.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

Thank you for the opportunity to do this...........

And I'm sorry as well
