You Can Now Tell Sony What PS2 Games You Want for the PS4

By Akhil Arora | Updated: 16 December 2015 18:35 IST

Last month Sony confirmed that it would be bringing backwards compatibility to the PS4, starting with games from the PS2 generation. And now Dave Thach, senior director of software development at PlayStation Worldwide Studios in Santa Monica, tweeted on Thursday saying the company was all ears for suggestions on what games should be made compatible for the PS4.

Loving all the PS2 on PS4 feedback! Use #ps2ps4 for your wish list suggestions so we can easily aggregate them all. We are listening...

This news comes after eight PS2 games - Dark Cloud, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Rogue Galaxy, The Mark of Kri, Twisted Metal: Black, and War of the Monsters - were made available to PS4 owners on December 5.

The games' PS4 versions ran in up-rendered full-HD (1080p) visuals, had trophy support and were priced from Rs. 832 to Rs. 1,248 on the PlayStation Store.

Microsoft, for its part, announced backwards compatibility for the Xbox One at E3 2015 in June, and was introduced five months later with a whole host of Xbox 360 games: 104 in total, to be precise. Chief among those included the entire Gears of Wars series, Assassin's Creed II, Fallout 3, Just Cause 2, Mirror's Edge and Borderlands.

With everything - from rumours to announcement to launch - happening in less than a month, it does seem like Sony was rushed into making a decision and wasn't able to match the Redmond-based software giant. And now it's reaching out to fans to make up for that, supposedly.

With PS3 hardware being vastly different from the PS4, Sony has reiterated more than once that there is a close to zero chance of PS3 games making an appearance on your current-gen console. But Sony seems to be willing to bring more PS2 games to put up a fight with Microsoft.
