Jocuri de PS2 si de Dreamcast pe PSN?

[Mika]

S-ar putea ca jocurile de PlayStation 2 sa devina jucabile pe orice consola PlayStation 3, conform unui document care pare sa apartina Sega America. Acest document pare sa specifice jocuri descarcabile din generatia trecuta de console. Documentul descoperit de site-ul francez Objectif-Sega precizeaza ca "SCEA vrea sa vanda toate titlurile de PS2 pe PSN". O strategie asemanatoare a avut Sony si cu titlurile de PS lansate sub forma de "PSone Classics".

Documentul pare sa fie o lista de notite de la o intalnire dintre Sega America si SCEA, de la inceputul lunii august. Printe notite se mentioneaza doua jocuri - Grand Theft Auto: Vice city si joc Sonic the Hedgehog - care ar fi canditate pentru o astfel de lansare.


Daca documentul e legitim si notitele sunt de incredere, planul de a oferi jocuri de PlayStation 2 descarcabile pare perfect logic. Sony tocmai a anuntat colectia God of War, care ne va oferi primele doua jocuri pe un disk Blu-Ray pentru PS3. Posibilitatea de a oferi cateva jocuiri pare o idee foarte buna avand in vedere ca pe PS2 exista peste 1800 de jocuri.

Acelasi document mentioneaza aparitia titlurilor de Dreamcast pe PSN. Insa acestea nu vor fi exclusive PlayStation 3, dupa cum spune documentul: "Daca le aratam celor de la SCEA o lista cu titlurile de Dreamcast, ei ne vor anuntat de care sunt interesati pentru exclusivitate."

SCEA Meeting Aug 5th Notes
Aug 6 2009 – DRAFT FOR COMMENTS

Objectives of Meeting
Dyer agreed to regular quarterly meetings with SOA

Sony PS3
SCEA reiterated plans to sell 13 million PS3s this year
Big announcement back half of year they can’t talk about (potentially price cut of PS3 to reach hardware goals)
SCEA commented on indexing between PS3 and 360 SKUs, should be around 2:1 to garner most favorable treatment.

Motion Controller
Spring 2010 launch (March in JP)
No bundle/pricing details yet, should come Sept 1
Plan on selling 4-5MM units WW
SCEA agreed to provide a list of Sega IP that would work well with the motion controller, Virtua Tennis was an example
Motion Controller support allows easy way to differentiate PS3 SKU
Other differentiation opportunities include PSP/PS3 interoperability – think of features that would make users want to buy both PS3 and PSP SKUs.

Alpha Protocol
Michael Foster, product evaluator, said AP felt barely RPG. Initial level too challenging for players. “Mass Effect felt more RPG.”
Review notes sent to John Merlino a few weeks prior. After meeting Gerald mentioned AP is a high priority for his team.

Planet 51
Sell in of PS3 SKU – SCEA noted that other movie titles on PS3 had underperformed as well (inc. Transformers) this cycle.
Dyer suggests contacting Susan at Walmart and asking what she wants in the pack to sell this SKU (movie tix etc)
Other possibilities are Hybrid movie disc (BD 25 or 50 with Game and Movie on same disc).

Bayonetta
Collectors edition with Bayonetta Action Figure
Novo recommended launching PSN demo around Xmas based off a Jan 5th Ship date with 2-3 week run out to launch.
3-4 weeks is usually ideal demo timing with fresh content every week leading up to launch (trailers, insider video about PG heritage, video blogs).

Vancouver 2010
HOME, Olympic destination would garner a lot of positive attention from SCEA
Should be doing same with Bayonetta, Marvel etc. Easy to launch in all territories.
HOME merchandizing opportunities (clothes etc).

Sonic Racing
Open to DLC to differentiate PS3 SKU – not ratchet and clank but other characters
maybe characters from Rare or Fable universes

Yakuza
Could put Japanese games directly on PSN for download in a special Japanese Import section (pricing $9.99 to $39.99 for full game).
Might need to localize menus at least with subtitles.
SCEA interested in helping on MKTG side if they can have period of exclusivity.

AVP
Another great HOME candidate
AVP avatars
Hybrid BD disc with movie

Iron Man 2
Great candidate for HOME space – explore Tony Stark’s lab etc.
Should have one for Marvel in general.

PSU2
Could do bundle at GameStop with PSP 30-35K units on UMD, Go, or both.

Valkyria 1937
Could bundle with PSP as well.

Vanquish and Aliens: CM
Opportunity for PS3/PSP interoperability (see Eidos Batman, Army of Two, Assassin’s Creed for good examples).
If we offer that SCEA would be really interested in having us at their booth next E3.

Thor
SCEA would like a look at the code soon.

Sonic Anniversary
Could put out collectors edition with all old sonic games on one BD disc.
“Best of Sonic” for around $99.
SCEA would love PSN exclusive power ups/different game modes (like Castlevania’s flip it over/backwards)

PS2 emulator for PS3 (confidential)
SCEA wants to sell all PS2 titles on PSN (GTA Vice City/Sonic/etc)
For co Marketing money show PS3 controller on TV ads – similar to EA Madden Spots, NCAA, etc…

London Olympics
Perfect opportunity for Motion Controller integration.

DC Digital Titles
If we provide a list of DC titles SCEA will let us know which ones they’re interested in having exclusively.
If we give them a long period of exclusivity they’ll give us more marketing support.

PSP Titles
For SKU differentiation it’s best to offer features that are slightly different from PS3 version.
Titles that are coming up on PSP are Assassin’s Creed II, GTA China Wars, Resident Evil, Little Big Planet – all massive franchises.
SCEA has a specific PSP deck which they can send up with their hardware director for a chat.

Fake truth?

daca fac posibila rularea jocurilor de ps2 prin download, dar si de pe disc, e ok.
daca merg doar prin download, atunci sunt niste mitocani ordinari. din moment ce merg downloadate inseamna ca ar merge si citite de pe dvd, dar evident nu doresc asta.
din bibleoteca ps2 as vrea sa joc resident evil 4 si ico pe care le-am ratat, eventual sa rejoc shadow of the colossus. de la dreamcast ar fii iara titluri bune, street fighter 3, shenmue, si altele.
o'm trai si o'm vedea,

[Payutzu]

tare sper sa apara si nu cred ca sunt singurul

[no_m3rcy]

stirea asta m-a facut sa vreau sa joc din nou Shadow of the Colossus ..mda dak as fi avut si eu ps3 ... din fericire am xbox

acelasi document mentioneaza aparitia titlurilor de dreamcast pe psn. Insa acestea nu vor fi exclusive playstation 3, dupa cum spune documentul: "daca le aratam celor de la scea o lista cu titlurile de dreamcast, ei ne vor anuntat de care sunt interesati pentru exclusivitate."

THAT would be AWESOME!!!

Am vazut multi nemultumiti pe forum-urile de afara punandu-si intrebarea: "daca un joc de PS1 costa 10$, cat o sa coste unu de PS2?"

[erik95]

Ar fi o idee buna a celor de la Sony

[Snoopz]

Daca se va implementa ,probabil ca asta ma va determina sa mai cumpar jocuri de ps2(nu imi va mai trebui memory card si controller wired )

[AlexOne]

Dupa aparitia Slimului care e cu 100$ mai ieftin , daca stirea asta este adevarata , atunci va fi inca o mare lovitura de imagine din partea celor de la Sony. Se pare ca incet incet se revine la normal cu RROD ul la coada

Cum ma cuplez cu PS2la internet
