PS2 Classic Primal coming to PSN

SCEE action game on its way to the digital service

By Mike Jackson for computerandvideogames.com

Sony has confirmed that PS2 action game Primal is on its way to the PS Store for PS3.

PlayStation Network Screenshot
Primal was Sony Cambridge's first PS2 title, after successes with Medieval and C-12 on PSone. In the game, a girl becomes trapped in a bizarre parallel universe and, along with an alien companion, must somehow find her way back home.

The game was originally released in 2003, with what Sony describes as "ambitious, explorable environments, immersive artistry and non-throwaway storyline".

If your memory needs jogging take a trip back to CVG of 2002-03.

    Ive still got my PS2 collection (160 +games) and a few years ago I ran this on my launch day PS3 in progressive scan mode and tbh it still looked pretty good! Seems like we have seen the last of built in backwards compatibility with services like this. Dunno why Sony have put so many crappy PS2 titles available for download though on the EU store, same as all the crappy PS1 games they put on there.

    It's a shame there not giving us an HD version as this still looks pretty good now.

    one of the best games on PS2 imho, shame it's not HD-ified, but it was pretty good looking back in 2003,

    I also remember it being a little buggy, but I only ever got stuck in a wall memorably once, I think I was walking around somewhere as scree, and I got stuck to the inside of a wall near a waterfall somewhere.

    can PS2 classics be patched, or are they fixed in any way during the porting process, or are they literally untouched transfers?
