PlayStation 2 Games Coming to PlayStation 4, FantaVision On Sale for PlayStation Plus Members
More PlayStation 2 games are coming to the PlayStation 4, with FantaVision being released this week.
There are now 10 classic games from the PlayStation 2 that are playable on the PlayStation 4. FantaVision becomes the 10th PS2 Classics game in the library for PlayStation 4 players, Gamespot reports.
Last week, PaRappa the Rapper 2 became the ninth game available in the PS2 Classics library, and there are more coming.
Sony has not announced which games will be coming to the PS2 Classics game library or when, but listings on the Entertainment Software Rating Board's (ESRB) website have given hints.
The first title to appear on the ESRB website was Max Payne. Max Payne was the popular third person shooter for the PlayStation 2. The website showed the "M" for mature rating and listed the game on the PlayStation 4 platform.
After Max Payne appeared on the ESRB website, five more PlayStation 2 titles appeared on the website, which have since disappeared from the website's listings.
The five titles that could be coming to the PlayStation 4 are Wild Arms 3, Siren, Primal, Okage: Shadow King and Ape Escape 3.
Sony Entertainment's president Shuhei Yoshida said earlier this month the company will work "tirelessly" to release more PlayStation 2 games on the PlayStation 4 on a "regular basis." Sony is also asking for feedback from players on which games they should bring back to the PlayStation 4.
Yoshida said that making PlayStation 2 games playable on the PlayStation 4 is possible with emulation technology, saying that the process and technology is not cheap which is the reason why Sony is charging between $10 and $15 for these games, even though players might already have an old copy.
FantaVision was first released on the PlayStation 2 in October 2000. It is a puzzle game that has players setting off fireworks at the right time when directed in order to make a colorful display in the sky. It is on sale for $7.50 for PlayStation Plus members, and $10 for everyone else.
