Krad posted:Okay, now I care about SC5 AND God Hand. Because you can store all your last gen games digitally on one console that also has native wireless gamepads and trophies that make you feel good when you do something. And you can download them for cheap, sometimes MUCH cheaper than getting them physically used. Legally. Oh, gameshares. I'd start up a gameshare for a lot of these games.

Well, I didn't quite expect to wake up to this news.  And yes, a gameshare would be much appreciated.

Okay goons, should I jump straight to Dark Souls or is Demon Souls worth playing first? I'm leaning towards grabbing Demon Souls but not knowing much about the series I'm not sure what the deal is here. Educate me please.

It's a great game - if you can get over dying in the process of figuring things out. You will lose some currency when you die that could have been paid toward upgrading yourself / your equipment, and you need to be able bridge the mental gap to realizing that said currency loss is largely irrelevant. You'll also probably restart once, as you realize the choices you made early on weren't so great - or you'll just read a FAQ. Shalinor fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Oct 3, 2011 |

I hope this happens, because I will buy Okami every time it's released until the end of time. I also hope that these games can also be played on the Vita, because I would kill someone just to get a portable Okami that isn't a DS sequel.

So according to a comment (scroll down to #3) on the Playstation Blog, these will be the original versions of the games, without any HD-ifying, or Trophies... I was excited when I thought they were remasters, but now it just feels like they're being shady by not letting us play the original discs on the PS2 emulator they've clearly cooked up.

They have nothing to do with each other "Story"-wise, so that doesnt matter. But Demons Souls is a fantastic game that shouldnt be missed.

If you are talking HD re-makes then yes. IF you are talking downloadable PS2 games, then no. Those have no trophies and are not hd versions.

Edit: But yes, it's supremely scummy that they actually went and removed PS2 support from the console, and have apparently managed to restore it, but plan on selling it back to us on a per-game basis.

That only works on the assumption that this is an either/or thing. If they've got a working software emulator, there's nothing stopping them from letting people with disc copies play via it, and then selling cheaper digital versions for those without the games, or those who want to replace physical with digital media.

Sure there is, they want 100% of all proceeds instead of not getting any money from people who already have the game or buy a disk copy used. It may not be a customer-friendly reason, or a good one, but they really have no reason to let you play games that in general they will get no money from you playing, when the alternative is to get more money out of you by re-releasing it digitally. Of course a more brilliant alternative would be to allow PS2 disk emulation as a PSN+ feature and/or with a monthly fee, then they get the best of both worlds.

Since these are going to be the original version, can anyone with a 60 GB PS3 tell us how the games look with their "smooth and upscale" option?

"There's nothing stopping them from just giving away the emulated titles for free." "There's nothing stopping developers from giving away DLC for free" Etc. There is a cost associated with making that emulator, as with everything else, and this is a for-profit business. This is a feature/product, so yes, they're going to charge for it - hopefully it'll just be a reasonable cost. Rirse posted:Since these are going to be the original version, can anyone with a 60 GB PS3 tell us how the games look with their "smooth and upscale" option? That smooth-and-upscale really doesn't make them look noticeably better, it just makes things look better on sharper LCD/plasma big screens.

Okay, I was excited about God Hand, but how much are they going to charge for those games? Considering they aren't remakes, they shouldn't be more than $10-$15. Even $15 sounds like a lot, but then again, it is Capcom...

You have a point but there is a very good chance that they're actually having to get each game up and running individually with specific optimizations for each game to get them running solely via software emulation. Just because a few games are going up doesn't guarantee that they have something that can run everything you know? It might be a similar situation to the Xbox 360's backwards compatability where they've only got limited titles running and they need to be worked on individually to get proper compatability. Still, we can only wildly speculate right now but I do share the frustration that if they do have a proper solution then they should let people play their own PS2 games rather than having to rebuy them.

If all of this is just to lead up to PS2 Classics then gently caress yeah, I've wanted PS2 Classics for ages. $10-15 for God Hand and Odin Sphere? Yes please. Gonna pick up a $50 card when I get Dark Souls tomorrow.revolther posted:So Deus Ex just forced me to download and install an update which called itself Deus Ex: Additional Content, wassup with that?

Europe just got the pre-order DLC as regular purchase items, so I imagine America is getting those soon too. It's probably just a patch to support the purchase versions.

So my copy of Ico/SotC is supposedly coming in the mail today. Super-excited for both, but especially Ico. It was one of the first games I bought for my PS2 back in the day, and the experience has stuck with me more than just about any other game I can remember. That cutscene at the end with the long shot of the huge castle crumbling away as that beautifully simple guitar theme plays is, I think, one of the most satisfying and iconic moments in any video game, and I'm super excited to experience it again in HIGH DEFINITION. Sure the controls can be janky, Yorda's pathfinding isn't perfect, etc., but goddamn, in terms of the emotions it evokes and the utterly engrossing environments it creates, I think it's still unparalleled. Also, does anyone else pronounce it "EYE-KO" instead of the correct "EE-KO?" I know it's wrong but that's how I pronounced it for years until I learned it was wrong, and now I refuse to pronounce it correctly.
