Extremely disappointing that these don't even have a proper CRT filter,wide-screen and the resolution is at a native 480p uprendered to 1080i.

Sony is putting no effort into these ps2 games.

Pcsx2 is still the best way to play these games

They shouldn't even bother doing these ports if they're gonna be so lazy about it

For this game the PS3 emulator is actually the best way to play it since they remastered it to be 16:9

Emulation is fucked because it's done by Sony's Japan team

Japan seems to have a weird obsession with old games being in their original state instead of upgrading them with basic features. Just see Nintendo emulations, Konami's MGS collection etc

The Miz Ruby boss fight music is out of sync in the ps3 version, for that alone i prefer the ps2 version

It's done by implicit Conversions which is an American Team,

Okay I thought I read before it was a team in Sony Japan my bad

So who is giving the direction to not touch the conversions. Surely it's easy to emulate additional features

No one is gonna mention all the bugs that HD Collection contains?
Broken audio, cut out graphical effects, widescreen sometimes shows you stuff you are not supposed to see, Ms Zuby boss fight being completly broken due to audio lag, lack of the Directors Cut video.

Sometimes It's better to leave things as they were originaly intended, and not risking completly ruining the game, like the HD Collections did to every game they remastered in the PS3 era.

Zero surprise that they would do a terrible job. The obvious solution for a long time was to have a dedicated emulation team that communicates with the community, takes feedback, is responsible for sorting out licenses issues, etc.

PC can have named dedicated teams for ports but PlayStation itself gets nothing, PlayStation is awfully mismanaged and they'll inevitable kill their console business at this rate.

Still has that issue on the new PS4 version lol, so keeping it as "originally intended" did nothing.

Yep, and proper remastered collections would make 100x more money than all of these flopped PC ports. Plus most of the emulation work has already been done for them by the community and they still find a way to mess it up. Maybe when these games go to PC we'll have some half decent ports 😑

You'll never make everyone happy.

When you try you end up having to do like a classic mode and an upgraded mode and then you end up spending considerably more on a project than it was worth. Especially since the number of people who are actually going to play these are extremely limited in the first place.

At the end of the day people just like to complain about things.

The obvious answer lol... how much would that team cost and how much revenue would it drive?

The takes you make are absolutely hilarious.

It's not as bad as the HD version, and the tweet literally says, that it's a bug present only in the PS4 version. Will get patched eventually.

Just to be clear here...

PS3 version is a remaster.
PS2 Classic is just emulation.

Anyway PS3 version has it own set of issues.

Said that at least they could have the resolution bump closer to 1080p in PS2 Classic (or what is closer in the aspect 3:4).... playing 480p games in 4k TVs is atrocious.

It's an emulated version why were we expecting changes? Anyways if it means being able to get these games out for cheap since they obviously won't sell.... Bring them back this way Sony.

TBH I wasnt expecting much from PS1/PS2 games, Im just happy we are finally getting them and ones I use to own on PS3 Im getting for free.
Yes it would be nice to get upscales graphics, better FPS, etc. Im good with being able to save when I want lol.
For now, Im just glad they are bring them to PS5 since promising it since the PS4 launch.
But I expect as the library grows faster, they will improve the features for the emulation

@Yurinka Why doesn’t Sony get an emulator that is already widely used with lots of features and compatibility with PS1/PS2 games. And just optimise it?
