I've noticed a trend growing lately in video games. It seems like just about every beloved PS2 franchise is getting "HD re-releases". Honestly I really like this trend because it allows newcomers to get exposed to these older titles and hardcore fans a chance to relive their favorite games. How do you guys feel about this ever growing trend?

If I still have a hard copy of a game that works, I don't typically bother with HD "remakes". Once I get that 320 gb HDD I bought into my PS3, that might change. But until then my PS2 copy of CVX, for example, works perfectly fine. If Sony ever released SOCOM and SOCOM II, I might consider getting them because night levels are really hard to see without night vision (which only works in first person view), but that's about it.

As the PS3s don't have the backwards combatibility anymore it's great you cn still get and play these games on your current console. As GL said, I wouldn't go getting a HD port of a game I already have either. I won't buy RE4 HD because I already have the PS2 version but I'm getting CVX HD as I don't have the game yet. I'm also interested in the Silent Hill HD Collection.

Well I sold every last one of my PS2 games when I sold my PS2 so that's why I want them both.

I don't care one way or the other really.

Final Fantasy X will be getting a HD-remake too . X is my favorite FF, but I would've prefered a FFVII, VIII or IX remake. FFX still looks pretty good.

Yeah, I found out about it just after posting that It was on a Hard News episode from two days back that I had missed.

I don't think I'm going to buy it. I don't really care about graphics, and if I want to play it, I can always use my PS2.

Still, I would totally buy a remake of FFVII. Not an HD port but a complete remake.

Yeah, I would too. But that's because it's a ps1 game. I don't think there is any need to remake FFX. That game still looks pretty good. I would also want VIII and IX.

I think I'll end up getting the Final Fantasy X HD remake too. I absolutely LOVED that game back on PS2. I could imagine it looking really crisp in HD. To be honest I like it more than VII (which is ridiculously overrated if you ask me).

I also like it more than FFVII. I think that game is a bit overrated, not ridiculously.
