Only headshots work, but nobody knows where the head is on a PS2.

I think "PSP game of 2007" will be enough.

Seriously, a 3 year old port isn't that praise-worthy, no matter now GOTY it may have been.

Man at this rate the PS2 might replace the Energizer Bunny.

Has any other system lasted at long as the PS2? According to Wiki the last licensed game for the NES was 1994; which would make the system 11 years old I believe.

I wonder if the PS2 can beat that record...

Neo-Geo AES had a 14 year run for software (official, first party at that).

Atari VCS/2600 probably had the longest, but with it's open development it's really hard to gauge when and where to draw the line with it. One of the last big games that I'm aware of was Ghostbusters II, and I think 'Atari' supported the console with development through at least 1990 so about 13 years (more depending on your definition of support).

And of course, the Game Boy had games through about 2003 (maybe later - I think Hamtaro was the last by Nintendo at least). So that's at least another 14 year lifespan.

NES/Famicom sat at 11, SNES/SFC sat at 10 . . . I'm sure there are more notables, especially with Mega Drive and Master System, just don't know the specifics.

You're right Chris, but I don't think it's India. If I recall correctly, it just came out in parts of South America, like Brazil. Of course, this is just officially; unofficially (via imports) they've had it for a while. I doubt we'll see Brazillian devs pop out and make PS2 games though.

Anyone who has a PS2 and doesn't have a PSP or Logan's Shadow, deifnitely consider picking it up. This game ROCKED. It might very well be my favorite PSP game and I'm huge PSP fan.

Dear Sony....it's been 10 years now..let it go....I mean the PS3 is about to be profitable, and I'm sure you have a PSP2 in the works somewhere....focus your resources completely on other things....like I dunno...COMPLETE SOFTWARE EMULATION for the PS3 to play PS2 games.....

Thanks....

@ Chris

My thought exactly. Since David Jaffe won't be @ E3 showing his new game this year, hopefully Sony will be showing a Syphon Filter game for PS3. Fingers crossed!


I can't for E3 2010!!!

Cap thats sad in itself....there are ways to play PS2 games on a PC but sony can't get one of the kids that made that software, pay him lots of money, and get it to work on the PS3? terrible

PS2 emulation on the PC is no easy task. It requires a PC much more powerful than a PS2 and even a PS3. I have a Core i7 920 with a Geforce 285, blows away the PS2 and today's consoles and still can't run PS2 at full speed!

Imagine how long it will take to emulate the PS3 and 360 on the PC. : /
Good thing the Wii is comparatively weaker in hardware and its well emulated on the PC, it even runs it at HD resolutions! : D

Emulate the 360 on PC?? uhhh isn't that why people favored the 360 over the PS3 for making games because it was so similar to a PC.....I can't imagine it would be THAT hard for people in the know.....

I still don't understand why people are SO upset over the whole BC removal thing.

1. You can buy used BC-ready models if it's a must-have.

2. If it IS a must-have, you probably have a PS2 you could use to play those games!

I really enjoy Syphon Filter, and I'm pretty sure its going to come to the PS3.

I don't see why Sony wouldn't want to release some of their PS2 hits on the PS3, it'll be "another" reason to buy a PS3.

There are few things uglier than PS2 games these days. FF8 played on a PS3 looks better than FFX played on a PS2 on my TV.
