[Blablurn]

Awesome

 

[eFKac]

Huber is gonna die when this drops in NA.

Is this version different than the PSP game?

 

[Acquiescence]

That game was good... real good.

 

[LewieP]

Great game, although like most multiplatform releases from that era there is a better version than the PS2 version available. I don't think the PS2 version is as compromised as the GTA games were on the platform though. With the enhancements that these releases get on PS4, it might be the best version.

First time there's been a PS2 game out on PS4 that I'd already bought the PS2 Classics version on PSN. Yep, pretty resentful about that. I'd probably pay a quid or two to upgrade, although I'd have preferred if they were crossbuy.

Edit: PSP game is the same, but obviously somewhat cut down. Not sure if the PSP version had any form of coop, which is where the game really shines in my view.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Aside from better framerate & loading times i believe coop mode was missing on the psp version

 

[Ladekabel]

Yes! Always wanted to play it. Will grab it sometime later for sure.

 

[Ridley327]

The Warriors is the 3D River City Ransom you've always wanted.

 

[delSai]

What?! I always wanted to play this! Great news.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Rockstar is one of the few devs really taking advantage of PS2 Classics

 

[Oldest Snake]

Come out to Play(station 4)

Excellent news, I loved this game.

They're smart, I'm sure it's probably little effort and racks in extra money since they just keep releasing stuff.

Look at GTAV and you'll see a company who knows how to get payed for a product. The Warriors is awesome! Was waiting for it to be released again.

 

[OnionPowder]

May as well since they're not putting out anything else.

 

[NealMcCauley]

I was thinking about buying this again for ps3, but might just grab the ps4 version instead.

Game really had no right to be as good as it was. Fantastic fun all around.

 

[Bishop89]

rockstar is releasing everything they got.

Why the hell isn't every other developer/publisher

 

[Screaming Meat]

YEEEEEEES

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Take two mentioned in their financials that the PS2PS4 game releases are doing very well for them but it is to be expected since they have some of the most popular games on the service.

 

[dreamfall]

The best! So excited to replay it, was using the Dualshock 4 with the PCSX2 version. Hype!

 

[Truant]

And RDR is nowhere to be seen.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

And RDR is nowhere to be seen.

I am sure we will get red dead revolver for PS4

heh

 

[LewieP]

To be fair the PS2 era is where Rockstar really made their name. A lot of people hold their games from this era in high regard, possibly moreso than any other dev. I doubt that there's anyone who'd get much higher sales then Rockstar other than perhaps Square-Enix and Sony first party.

 

[napalmjam]

Word of warning the frame rate is not the best and no platinum (not a big deal) still a fun game though .

 

[keltickennedy]

I can dig it.

 

[giancarlo123x]

I am sure we will get red dead revolver for PS4

heh

We will. I'm sure we'll get their whole ps2 catalog eventually.

it makes too much sense so that;s why they aint following

 

[labaronx]

Hell yeah...

Now add manhunt 2 and i have 45% of my ps2 collection on ps4

 

[Rembrandt]

I'll buy a remaster for $65 right now.

 

[slavesnyder]

Magnificent

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Please tell me in germany, too

 

[Mr Git]

Ace! This was a great brawler! Still find the Furies slightly terrifying.

 

[Shin-chan]

You would think that if Rockstar thinks it's worth it to set up some of their smaller games, other publishers would find it worthwhile to do it with their larger ones.

Maybe it's coming but the process is more time consuming than we realise?

 

[Recall]

These PS2 emulation ports were on PS3, right? I wonder how difficult or easy it was to get them ready for PS4?

Trophies are quite straight forward to implement (for most games) but I wonder if it's just as easy with creating the visual upgrade.

 

[HStallion]

If anyone has ever enjoyed beat'em up games or the movie the Warriors you would be doing yourself a disservice not picking this game up. Its an incredible homage to the original film that actually expands on several elements to make a more fully fleshed out game. The game itself its got a meaty, fun to use fighting system that is brutal as it is flashy but still quite grounded. Its an all around excellent game and everyone should try it out.

 

[boredandlazy]

60hz?

 

[Qwark]

I am sure we will get red dead revolver for PS4

heh

You sure? Revolver was mysteriously removed from the PS3 store a long time ago. Anybody know why?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I'll buy this at some point, although I'm waiting on a price drop. I remember really liking it when I played it about a decade ago. Probably the closest thing to a good 3D Streets of Rage there has ever been.

 

[delSai]

Please tell me in germany, too

Doesn't seem that way :/

 

[Rymuth]

The Warriors has been announced to be getting a TV series adaption.

Rockstar capitalizing on the news?

 

[NickatNite]

I'll pay full price for this fucker just like i did for the PS2 & PSP version, GIVE IT TO ME!!!!

 

[Ladekabel]

Bollocks! Didn't bother with an US account so far and I just found out that the game is banned in Germany.

 

[Rap2thaMoon]

We will. I'm sure we'll get their whole ps2 catalog eventually.

Midnight club? On that point how are the PS2 versions? especially 3 DUB Edition.

 

[IronicSonic]

Is this an open world game? I'm a huge fan of Street of Rage series and I have that itch for a good beat'em up. If this is a open world game could kills my mood though

 

[Tizoc]

Us psn should have it up down the line as esrb rated it recently

 

[TheTylerRob]

Trophies? I fockin love this game.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Since there's no platinum is it 10 dollars or 15?

 

[DustyVonEric]

Aww yes! Glad to see this game coming to PS4.

 

[Dash Kappei]

WHOOLY SHIIIIT!!!!!

 

[King Tubby]

I'd be so down for some kind of remaster or sequel or spiritual successor. The Warriors is possibly the best licensed game I've ever played.

 

[SomTervo]

NeooooGAF.... Come out to playyyyayyyyy

NeoooooooGAFFFFF... Come out to PLAYYYYAYYYYY

Don't think PS2 could handle that open world shit, man. I haven't played this but I'm 98% certain it's not open world.
