ESRB rates two new downloadables including one PS2 title

Posted on December 2nd, 2008 at 12:47 EDT

Anyone else growing increasingly tired of Japan receiving the majority of original PlayStation titles on the PlayStation Network? We sure are. That's why we're glad to see the ESRB give ratings to two new downloadable titles from Sony's past. While Medal of Honor is an original PlayStation hit, the second may have some of you raising those eyebrows. No, it's not Final Fantasy VII, get serious. It's Rayman 2: Revolution.

It may not be apparent why this matters, but with Rayman 2: Revolution being a PlayStation 2 release, it opens up the potential possibility that Sony may indeed be planning to bring PS2 titles to its network for downloading. This is something a lot of users have cried out for, and quite frankly, something Sony should do. For fans of either series, this serves as a nice reminder of where your gaming lineage has come from. For others, you'll probably turn a blind eye and move on to greener pastures (Prince of Persia today anyone?).

If and when a release date is given for either title, we'll be sure to keep you updated.

Personally i couldn't care less about rayman, but if this is the start of ps2 games being downloadable, it'll be very cool. And it might also mean the beginning of software simulation for those ps3 owners whose playstation 3 can't play ps2 games (mine can so it has no effect on me, but it's a good idea none the less :) )

That's friggin awesome news indeed :) If they do this, and price them reasonably, I'd be picking up sooooooooooooo many games. I'm still waiting for the PS1 library to grow! So many games I would pick up xD

Lets hope.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

@ MrBubbles: care to explain why?



there won't be any ps2 games on psn - this game is rayman 2 from psx. just like sony CEO or someone from sony said software ps2 emulation can't be done on ps3 without emotion engine/ps2 hardware built in cause ps3s ram is too slow to handle software emulation of black beast alone(at least they've said it some time after 40GBs launch).

if you had cared to read the entire title of the game you would notice that it is not.

 

That is the ray man 2 you speak of right ?

 

This is the rayman 2 that was rated as a downloadable title.

 

Another thing, ofcourse they can make the ps3 emulate ps2 through software emulation. It just requires time and effort.
