ThePunishedSnake: Exactly what I thought. Yes, implementing backward compatibility on PS4 means the console would cost more because you need to insert Cell processor on it too, but...I would pay an extra amount of money if this mean having access to my full game library, both physical and digital. Even the cross-buy options...sometime happen, sometime don't.

During 2015 we'll probably see an Uncharted Trilogy too, so another remastered/remake or whatever.

ThePunishedSnake: Why? Because developers try to sell the same game twice to user fanbase.

RichterSnipes: That's really debatable. I'll give you the Sly Collection, that collection is mostly excellent. Sanzaru was able to treat the three games wonderfully, and I think they also did a fine job on Sly 4.

However, the other two collections have plenty of issues. In some cases it's enough for me to prefer the PS2 versions of them. Yeah, I know that the games in those series' utilized every trick in the book to run as well as they did on the PS2, and that as a result makes it really hard to port them to other systems (or to emulate them, for that matter). But the issues are still great.

The Jak trilogy suffers from cropped widescreen, barely upgraded visuals (I'm pretty sure they're not even at 720p), and a few new glitches. The cropped widescreen is a really bad thing in a platform-heavy game series like Jak, as now jumps are even harder to judge with less on screen at one time. Going by some gameplay footage, there are definitely times where this will become a killer. Sure, unlimited lives does lessen the blow, but it is still unacceptable for a game like this.

The Ratchet and Clank trilogy has a completely opposite set of issues. The graphics were treated wonderfully and the games are in proper widescreen. They even run in 1080p! However, I don't think I've ever seen a set of games as noticeably buggy as these. The music doesn't loop properly. Helmets in the latter two games are the wrong size. Script cues are often incorrectly triggered. At least one character model is mangled to crap. And there's a TON of other things wrong with them. There's a compendium of bugs in them in a forum topic on Insomniac's website. With how they all affect the presentation, I'd rather wait for the day that PCSX2 becomes competent enough to run the trilogy without issues. That, or wait for the day that PS3 emulation gets to a point where the trilogy can be played via it, AND someone bothers to fix all of these issues. Seriously, how does someone get music looping wrong...

ThePunishedSnake: In fact, as I said, PS2 remasters are okay, since finding those titles is really hard. I'm pissed of when they remade title released like yesterday.

darthspudius: Noticeably buggy? So buggy that I hadn't even noticed?! Buggy is the Splinter cell collection... Devil may cry collection perhaps? Though devil may cry is pants eitherway! :P

RichterSnipes: I haven't played the Splinter Cell trilogy on PS3 because I don't have it. But yeah, that one would probably take the cake over Ratchet and Clank. It's baffling how much Ubisoft screwed it up (and everything else as of late, but that's another issue all together).

Anybody who plays those games on PS3 will be able to notice the music looping issues at the very least. But yeah, the other issues might just be more benign-feeling to others. I'm just a real stickler for bugs and notice them much more than most people. I'm also more critical of them when they occur in ports/remasters of games. Aren't they supposed to be the definitive editions? Why should they play worse than the originals?

F4LL0UT: What's wrong with the Devil May Cry collection? I'm asking because that's the one I'm currently most interested in. I saw some "meh" reviews but those only seemed to cricitize the games themselves, not the quality of the ports.

darthspudius: Frame rate mostly AND all the other crap that was in the original games as it is. Though if you like the originals (I pity you) it should be fine but the frame rate might take issue. They could of at least gave the games good controls haha.

RichterSnipes: I haven't heard of there being any real issues with the DMC collection. Sure, the menus are still in 4:3, but everything else seemed fine from what I've heard. What version are you referring to, BTW? 360 or PS3?

And the series is well-regarded by many, especially 3:SE. It's only a problem if you genuinely like DMC2. :P

F4LL0UT: The reason I want this particular HD collection is that I like a few other games which are inspired by Devil May Cry and never got to play the originals (only got to play 3 and 4 which had official ports - I kinda enjoyed those but kept being told that the first game is the best in the series). It's ultimately probably more historical interest than anything else, though, so I'm not gonna complain if all the original flaws are still there. Sad to hear that there are framerate issues, though. Oh well, those aren't gonna keep me from buying this colection. Thanks for the input.

KiNgBrAdLeY7: I agree with you. I have the original AND the HD remake versions, of:

1) Baldur's Gate 1 and 2
2) Icewind Dale 1
3) Monkey Island 1
4) Broken Sword 1
5) Broken Sword 2

I found 1, 2 and 3 far worse from their original version. Not out of nostalgia (only), but because they introduced many more (new) bugs, they gave emphasis to better graphics and the MMO approach of update trend (nerfing classes and balancing player/skill interaction/pitting, and even worse removing exploits and glitches from the games, that had been iconic in the past), and they even featured LESS content and options that their predecessors; Yeah, i am still very angry and pretty pissed, that i cannot roll my favorite character in Icewind Dale 1 Remake, the Elf-Druid!

3, 4 and 5, i found them excellent, but that has to be only because they contained the ORIGINAL version, TOO! Should that be absent, then i would be much more skeptical and judgmental.

All in all, i HATE remakes myself. Especially in the case of 1, 2 and 3, i bought them only to express my gratitude to GoG for breaking the fugly steam monopoly and striking a deal to be their distributor too, because i wanted to make my game library complete, and most importantly, because they had been on a SERIOUS, day 1 DISCOUNT. If those merry little coincidences were absent, those titles would have been absent from my collection, too, for real.

darthspudius: Monkey Island special edition has bugs? Well that is a new one on me. I know it has a couple of things chopped out, one of the reasons being it was just a broken part of the game anyway. But absolutely NOTHING important and/or worthwhile in the game has been edited.
