We know that PS2 games havent been selling or released nearly as well as they should.
A lot of gamers weren't happy that cross buy didn't happen and pricing many games at 15 dollars didn't sit well with a lot of people too
Recently ps2 games have been on sale for 3.99 to 4.99 fairly often
I believe this past weekend had near 8 or so games on sale while ps2 games have been on sale many times the past year or so
I'm not sure if this is a sign for future releases and Sony knowing they messed up or just them giving up?
With that said what can they don't gain interest and release a lot more titles. I always have a dream situation for this but I'll try to have a near releasic one as well.
Price - new titles news to be ten dollars and possibly lower.
Introduction of all psone games already on ps3 releasing with in a year on Ps4, as well as ps2 being in the same situation. A bigger infamous on store awareness as well as having special weekly giveaways and contests for games.
Rewards progranm - let's be honest, old games can be great but forgotten. Sometimes people need a push to realize they like something they didn't know about. I suggest a rewqrds program that rewards you for completing ps2 titles. For each game you complete you will receive one playstation point. For each game you get all trophies in two points total
With the points you can buy more games, artwork, themes etc
Theme - three points
New game - Five points
We typically see the attach rate of games on consoles bothering that high on average, especially casuals. With an emphasis on play, rewards and community placement. I believe they can not only do well but be enjoyed by many that never expected to try more games.
Giving away games for completion seems like something that could be fun and sell a lot more games. For every two you get for free you had to at least buy 8 games and complete them. With a pricing structure of five to 7 dollars, I think this could have a big impact on overall sales and spark a ton of needed releases
Music extension- for games you own, having a way to play each games music in a special list game visualizer would be really cool as well as being able to dl each album for games you purchased. This would be something I think all games could use as a hardware feature. Or for new games, 1.99 to unlock it if it seems to difficult for some publishers to release thier music, but for bought games I don't see why not. They can then release oats for sale for every game in a menu on the games page.
Other than that, I think it's implementation and bc engines need to shine very well.
My dream scenario would be for a big revamp in releases with hundreds of titles released for 2.99 with a special playing area visualizer with old commercials, art, new interviews and online play for games like socom etc
I'd like to see where a classic game area focuses on collection of titles at cheap pricing other than just trying to sell one game at a high price. People like collecting things, so why not give it a go. Making it enticing with special features and new content to see, art and contests could go a long way for mind share and sales.
Short version - is ps2 on ps4 dead, can it be saved and what can Sony do to build awareness? Rewards for free games? Psone and hundreds of games added at cheap collecting like pricing?
