Which PS2 Horror Games Should Come to the PS4 First?
For those of you who haven’t heard, Sony has been quietly working on bringing PS2 emulation to the PS4. It won’t work as nicely as the backwards compatibility support that recently made 104 Xbox 360 games playable on the Xbox One, and it’s also not going to be free.
Now, these aren’t simple ports, but they also wouldn’t qualify as remasters. Each title has been upscaled to a more appealing 1080p resolution, so that’s a definite plus. They’ll also support live broadcasting, remote play, and trophies that were “carefully developed in conjunction with feedback from the original creators to be sure that they capture the spirit and feeling of each game.”
The first batch of games arrives tomorrow. Here’s what it will look like:
Dark Cloud — $14.99
Grand Theft Auto III — $14.99
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City — $14.99
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas — $14.99
Rogue Galaxy — $14.99
The Mark of Kri — $14.99
Twisted Metal: Black — $9.99
War of the Monsters — $9.99
Boy are they expensive. It’s tough justifying spending $15 on a game that you could also find resting at the bottom of a bargain bin for roughly the same price as a pack of gum.
Twisted Metal: Black is almost nightmarish to count as a horror game, but we can do better. The PS2 gifted us with some of the greatest horror games of all time, none of which are represented here. Sony must’ve forgotten about us. Let’s remedy that by letting them know which ones we’d most like to see come to the PS4.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
