PS2, Dreamcast Games Allegedly Coming To PSN
September 22, 2009
The notes mention two titles, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and an unspecified Sonic the Hedgehog game—there are seven Sonic-starring games for the PS2—as examples of candidates for release.
The same document also mentions what appears to be downloadable Dreamcast titles for the PlayStation Network. Those titles don't appear to be exclusive to the PlayStation 3, however, as the rumored meeting notes read "If we provide a list of DC titles SCEA will let us know which ones they're interested in having exclusively."
Depending on the cost of each downloadable game, this would be a great way to revisit those old classics that players may have missed last generation. I'm hesitant to spring for the original Ratchet and Clank trilogy when I still have a working PS2, but if — and that's if, since I think this is a step too far — the old PS2 games were updated with visual improvements, I might be tempted to double-dip and repurchase a beloved classic. As for the Dreamcast selections, I have to appreciate the idea of Sega offering games from its final console to the successor of the console beast that killed it. As an aside, Kombo has some additional information from the Sega document related to other aspects of the company's upcoming plans.
