What happened to PS2 games on PS4?

This is all I really want, since FFXII is apparently getting a remaster. Konami pls...
And this is so effing shitty. Bet my ass it's an requirement meaning many games are dead
Suikoden series
Shadow Hearts series
MegaTen series
.Hack series
Xenosaga series
Well actually fuck that list, everything not first party is probably fucking dead.
I don't give 2 fucking shits about trophies, I just want to stupidly buy games I already own disc versions of and can probably emulate way better myself....but I still stupidly want to buy them on a PS4 and play again for some fucking stupid insane reason.
Yeah one more thing, $50 to anyone that can go to Universal Japan and kick them into the shin and make them sell the IP to anyone else that is willing to do anything with it.
Hopefully.
Most of those games you listed are also long RPG's, which means the long process for the trophies would only take much longer. Honestly surprised we got Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy, wonder how long it took them to implement it in those games.

Sony abandoned it of course. Just like they abandoned the poor Vita.
Papa Sony went to the store for cigarettes and never came back.

Yepp, why they shouldn't have that as an requirement but instead use it as a price "hike".
Meh wouldn't say they abandoned it. But probably overestimated how many would be able to play ball straight away. If they even care about the ball that is.

We do, when PS2 on PS4 was announced they said "also KOF 2000, Parappa 2, and Fantavision coming soon"
Nothing about KOF since, the other two have been released

They need to hurry up with that considering I want Shadow Hearts 2 and Star Ocean 3 on PS4.
That's the one I want. PC port looks nice.
This x1000.

I was being sarcastic >.>
My bad, my bad. Still I'll find you and we'll have to duel to the death or something....I suggest we meet up in 58 years, behind Wendy's 47th ever shop made in Alaska, and settle it with fista cuffs.

I'm surprised at some of these.

Not exactly a 2 hour job porting them.

Over priced, games don't run well imo (frame rate issues) in all the games I tried.
They also didn't do cross play so I think a lot of people are soured on it.

Would love for the SH games be ported. The HD collection that came out was abysmal.

People asked for folders, so they moved onto that now. After another year working on folders, they'll get back to ps2 games.

Konami though. I don't expect those to ever come to PS4.
In fact, I don't expect much third party support, period. Sucks.

I guess I'm a broken record and I'm probably the only one of very few (if any) on this forum who are in this situation, but it was never brought to Japan.

I'm guessing so as well. The price of entry is crazy, I can't imagine many people jumping in at $15 per for the big names. GTA games have been put on sale almost as frequently as the Last Tinker.

Gaf hyped it up.
I'm personally glad Sony didn't listen to the sentiment to not include trophies. They've given some of these games a new life for me. I would never go through the satisfaction of completing Dark Chronicle to true completion without them.
That said, the release frequency has dropped off a cliff. I think it's been a month since Dark Chronicle released and there's been nothing since. If they knew this was going to happen, they should have spaced the releases out better.

I just want this game to come to Ps4.
Would you like SFAA with FSAA?

I'm also on the trophy bandwagon. They do add a nice extra incentive to play through old games again.

I know that without trophies i certainly wouldn't buy them.

Ps2 outputs beautiful 240p without any mods. The devs of the collection decided not to utilize it.

I know the PS2 had a big library of games but I'd be happy if they just picked say a 100 titles from PS2 in the next few years while this gen is going mostly the JRPGs from PS2 with trophies. Would be fabulous. I've enjoyed going through Arc Twilight of the Spirits with trophy support and upres.
Dark Cloud 1 and 2 were fantastic playing through them again.
I really want FF12 Zodiac edition next. Although we might be seeing a remaster of that sometime soon (hopefully).
I'd imagine licensing some PS2 games will prevent them from ever being possible, not sure many people understand that though.

I'd buy them again off PSN if they came with trophies and weren't as godawful as the HD remasters.
or the better theory for psx is that they wanted to bring kojima out and say they have signed him up and konami stopped it... they never really hyped up ps2 compatibility because they most likely knew there would be backlash

Far too expensive in my opinion. £5-10 depending on the game.
Tempted by San Andreas as I have never played it

There were like 2 frames of lag from what I recall. Not too bad for emulation.

Which games were released that are also on PS3?
Looks like San Andreas is the one with the most sold. *GASPS* ! BUT PEOPLE ALREADY OWN THAT WHY WOULD THEY BUY THAT AGAIN??
It's been what, since Dark Cloud 2 released, a fucking month? 16 games out since it was announced in December. I'd say we're probably due for another one pretty soon. It's only been 3 months though... That's already way faster than Nintendo's pathetic drip feed.
What did you try exactly that didn't run well? Everything I have played thus far has run fine. If $15 max is overpriced to you (with many being 10 or less and often discounted) then I don't know how to help you. You're probably just fishing for shit to complain about at this point.
And this is the heart of the problem. Typical bullshit from people not keeping their expectations in check.
You really think Trophies are the only reason? Really? SPOILER: They are doing more than just adding trophies. Not only the porting job but getting the permission from the IP owners is part of the it.
Remember when they asked people on twitter what games they wanted? That wasn't that long ago. Sony is still doing PS2 classics on PS4 but it's no fucking priority. Why should it be? It seems like they have a very small team (maybe less than 10 people) actually working on these. So it's going to take some time.

All the star wars games have jutter and freezes in frame rates. Not sure about other games.
If you have them. pod racer, first track. near the finish line the frame rate is cut down for 4 to 5 secons. maybe longer. Star wars star fighter, on the first open area. When a few ships and things are on screen the jutter and smooth frame rate is gone until you get those objects off the screen. Very easy to tell when moving left or right especially with the smooth look and higher IQ. disappointing for sure.
