Popular Post Rebourne07 Posted April 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) To me this is absolutely huge news. Idk why it's not being talked about a lot more than I'm seeing. This could mean a lot of things like a vastly expanded PS Plus Premium retro collection, potential upgrades and upscaling technology for older games, trophy support for older games, and it gives a lot of credence to the rumors that Sony is working on PS3 emulation. As a huge fan of older games, emulation, remasters, etc...this is awesome! Thoughts? Edited April 27, 2022 by Rebourne07 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheRetroManiac Posted April 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2022 Let's just hope that is what it's going to be would be amazing if that new PS Plus Premium gets even better by doing all those things you mentioned, well here's hoping anyway, but this is good news. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RNumbers Posted April 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2022 Wow, this has the potential to be very cool. Hard to believe Sony won't find some way to royally screw it up, though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undead Wolf Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 It's nice that they're finally starting to take game preservation seriously. I guess all they needed to do so was a monetary incentive in the form of a subscription service tier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjise Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 They took their time, but these are very good news, as long they don't mess it up somehow, which has been something rather frequently as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JourneySilvers Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I just hope this turns out to be something meaningful... would be great, but companies have a habit of doing the bare minimum in most cases. I'll be very happy if they do end up preserving games and porting more stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Fantastic news, shows that they are (finally) listening at the very least. Potential for very exciting developments as OP said, hopefully we get more info about this soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ_Solo Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 As long as his job is about helping developers save/store/retain the original code for a game then he is really performing the role of game preservation. If his job does anything to provide games to gamers then he will just be the new Gio Corsi. That isn't game preservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShonenCat Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Game preservation is one thing, but copyright is still a stone cold bitch. Color me intrigued though. I hope this team takes this so called “preservation” all the way. It has been a growing problem in the industry and I will only have praise for those who intend to make sure legacy titles are not swallowed up by the fabric of time. Still is unknown if these upcoming “classic games” on PS Plus will be able to be purchased separately, or if those who invested in classic game licenses on PS3/Vita will be cut a break. Holding out for more information. Edited April 26, 2022 by ShonenCat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeLordCrow13y Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) I’m...skeptical. I don’t know exactly what they mean by “game preservation.” In my case I’d like it to mean the PS3 & Vita stores being revived fully (instead of being on life support) and them allowing devs to relist games, and in the Vita’s case, add new games, to those stores. I’d also like it to mean more PS2, Vita, and PSP games, and heck, throw some PS1 (and trophyless PS3) games in there too remastered with trophy support. It’d also mean doing something about online only trophies-making them legitimately achievable once a service for a game goes offline. But lol, who am I kidding, THAT won’t ever happen. Personally I’m not holding my breath until I actually see some positive outcomes from this. Edited April 26, 2022 by TimeLordCrow13y 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JusttJD Posted April 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) If they can make it so that I can play these games on the PS5 through emulation - Fallout 3 with all the DLC - Fallout New Vegas with all the DLC. - Red Dead 1 With all DLC - Xcom Enemy Unknown with all DLC (And Enemy Within) I'll pay them whatever they want.

Popular Post Rebourne07 Posted April 26, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2022 Did a mod stealth change my title? Is that allowed?

Breakingthegreen Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 This will finally be my chance to play The Culling 2! Is it a good game? No. Is it a game that I would play for trophies? No. Does it apptimize everything wrong with how disposable publishers and developers see there own games? Eh, kinda. Would I be happy if it came back? You know what, No it looks awful. That was a waste of my keyboard's finite life... This is good I approve, hopefully they make access to rare old games possible again. I've been wanting to play the original Personas and not just the psp remakes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how they go about it, either a general emulator through every game like the launch ps3s. Or the xbox route where each game is tailored to run on the system, which requires licensing through the original developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidson2004 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 This is HUGE NEWS!! I'm so glad they're FINALLY preserving the older PS games. So SO many classics that would've went away had they not taken this serious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens all the time, usually for completely arbitrary reasons as was the case here. I suspect it's the same mod who has been messing around with one of my thread's as well. But hey, the mods know best, right? We're not allowed to question anything they do. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
