‘Star Wars’ PS2 Games Now Playable on PS4 With 1080p Graphics, Support for New Services and More
"Star Wars" mania isn't quite over, and it's even gaining traction in the gaming world. Not only is the new "Star Wars Battlefront" cruising, but three "Star Wars" titles will be making the jump from PlayStation 2 to the current generation console PlayStation 4 including "Star Wars: Racer Revenge," "Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter" and "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter."
According to a report from Game Spot, all three games are now available individually on the PlayStation Store for $10 each. All are up-rendered to play with 1080p graphics, plus the games feature Trophies and support for new services such as Shareplay, Remote Play with PlayStation Vita and activity feeds.
"Racer Revenge" and "Bounty Hunter" are both available on the PlayStation 3 console as well.
In "Star Wars: Racer Revenge," players will get to race against Podracers in 13 courses across five worlds. "Supercharged A.I." are present for more adrenaline-pumping action. The racing game is expected to take up just 560 MB of storage space in the console.
The second game, "Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter" is considerably bigger at 1.7 GB. The story revolves around the events of "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" and will have players fly starfighters to complete over 20 missions throughout the universe. It features co-op options, 40 new vehicles, Force powers and more.
The final release for PlayStation 4 in this set is the "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter," which has the players adapt the character of franchise icon Jango Fett. In the game, the famous bounty hunter will "face off against galactic scum from the darkest corners of the 'Star Wars' universe." The size of the game is the biggest of the recent releases at 2.2 GB.
Another franchise game available on the new platform is "Super Star Wars," which was released last year along with the hotly anticipated brand new "Battlefront." The latter continues to roll along as one of last year's biggest titles and the players are already anticipating a DLC drop.
According to a report from Gotta Be Mobile, the "Star Wars Battlefront" has been confirmed to be getting a January update. Although EA and DICE have not revealed a specific release date yet, the report listed some of the expected inclusions in the upcoming patch.
As the fan base was able to complete EA's community challenge, the developer will be giving a special reward "that directly ties to Han Solo and Luke Skywalker." That's the only hint the team revealed, but hopefully, the players will get to find out soon. Bug fixes are also expected to come with the next patch.
What do you want to see in the January update?
