Fixed.

I agree with Gnizmo assuming there will be an emulator is just getting your hopes up if anyone read the op correctly and title is misleading.
actually it says in the first paragraph. sony wants to release all ps2 titles on the ps3
I'm not martin luther king. I don't have a dream. I have a plan
Sell a man a fish you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish you just ruined a perfect business opportunity.
We didn't emerge out of the stone age because we ran out of stones. Its time to be proactive not reactive.

CGI-Quality said: Your "dose of reality" is an opinion of the situation, actually quite like the OP, since nothing is concrete yet. Even if YOU don't really care for what is happening here, the OP reported the news as it is being told on several websites. The article may be misleading, doesn't mean you need to be all bent out of shape about it. |
Opinion? Uh, no. It is the situation that is being reported. Allow me to quote for you: "[UPDATE] - Another exciting titbit is that SEGA could provide Sony with Dreamcast titles for the PS3." and "Whether this will come as a case by case basis, like the God of War remastering, or that Sony is creating a universal emulator for all PS3 models is unknown. We'd personally expect the former, since Grand Theft Auto Vice City is a specific title mentioned."
So, again, I am being realistic. This isn't an opinion. This is the facts as they are stated by the original source. I am not getting bent out of shape either. I am attempting to inform people on what they can reasonably expect so they aren't disapointed later.
Also, why do you assume I don't care for what is going on here? I posted so it obviously has som significance to me. I would appreciate it if you actually dealt with me in an honest and upfront fashion. Trying to discredit, and dismiss me while avoiding anything of substance makes talking to you pointless. So, please, address what is acually on the table.
^people only read what they want reality to be....

In defense of it, that is apparently the name of the article on gamezine. I skipped past it until I went quote digging, but you can hardly blame Spartan for it. I would personally have renamed it, but it does fall into a weird grey area.

Aura? I am not being negative. I am being realistic. There is a world of difference between offering speific titles, and offering an emulator. There is no specific titles mentioned. Sega talking about it means first party titles are potentially going to be available, and you will have to buy them again. It is not bad news, but it is not as good as what this thread title suggests. If I were really trying to rain on the parade I would have reported the thread title for being misleading (which it is). What has been leaked is just a mile apart from what people in this thread seem to think. This is saying Sega and Sony games are coming to the PSN. You are not likely to see any Capcom, Konami, EA, Activision, THQ, etc etc games make it to the PSN. That is a huge difference. Like night and day. I am sorry if you see a dose of reality as negative. I am doing nothing but reporting what is actually being leaked rather than a pipe dream that might never happen. |
It looks like you didn't read the article. It clearly states: "Sony wants to release all PS2 games on the PlayStation 3". This directly contradicts your statment above.
While its cool. and welcomed by me. Its hard to say that this really matters in the larger sense of it all.
If this had been announced and done at launch = huge. Now, its just too hard to differentiate and make it a huge selling point with most consumers.
If sega started making the dreamcast to be sold per order online would it be huge? No. Sony already has a ps2 on the market, is it huge, no.
Its cool for a small group of consumers, but the scale and massiveness of this news just isnt there, imo, to the larger general consumer.
The reason Sony broke huge ground with the PSX and PS2 and why nintendo did so with NES, SNES, Wii is by offering a console with games people were excited about for the systems.
Trying to make one product all products so to speak, especially this late in the life cycle ust wont have an impact like new exclusive software that people can get excited about for the system to spark sales.

Doesn't mean that's how I feel, it says "even if you do". Beyond that, I haven't avoided anything, I'm still here debating with you aren't I, that would mean I haven't avoided you. Bottom line, people are particularly excited about the notion of receiving PS2 games with the PS3 and Dreamcast games are on the table of discussion. Whether one thing is incorrect or not is another matter, the posters in here can only go on what is reported in that source. What is reported, would be exciting if true, at least that's how I see it. One last thing, so there's not further confusion: Just because I ask you a question, or challenge what you said, it doesn't mean I'm trying to dismiss or discredit you. I have nothing against your subjectivity, in fact I applaud a good debate. It was the way you went about it, not your point, which btw, for the most part I agree with. I still can understand the excitement of the posters though... |
I am not saying getting specific titles added is a bad thing. Hell, it is a great thing. I love that about the PSN, XBLA, and VC/Wii Ware already. However, people should celebrate what is on the table, and not what they would like it to be. What is on the table is different from what is being celebrated.
@whatever
I make logical leaps sometimes without explaining it. I did skim over one important aspect, but not in the way you seem to be implying. They are talking about selling the games. Quote: "SCEA wants to sell all PS2 titles on PSN." This directly implies it is adding titles to the PSN rather than adding an emulator. That is, it will work the same way PSN, XBLA, VC/Wii Ware work now rather than the way PS1, (some) Xbox, and GC titles work. I missed the reference to GTA though as I noticed the God of War example first. So they are working with third parties, but it is definitly being sold as a title by title affair.
