Ratchet PSP heading to PS2? News

PlayStation 2 News by Tom Bramwell

17 December, 2007

PSP title Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters appears to be on its way to PlayStation 2 next year, judging by reports from retail and the US ratings board.

According to a listing on GameStop (uncovered by Kotaku), the PS2 port will cost USD 29.99 and should be out on 12th February 2008.

Meanwhile, the US Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) search engine returns Size Matters' entry as PlayStation 2 and PSP.

Sony said it would get back to us about the game's status as a PS2 title soon.

Like the PS2 and PS3 titles in the same series, Size Matters is a mixture of platform gaming and shoot-'em-up. Unlike the home console versions, which were developed by Insomniac, Size Matters was put together by High Impact Games.

If it does make the transition to PS2, it will be in good company, following in footsteps already trodden by Grand Theft Autos Liberty and Vice City Stories, and, er, Tokobot. Silent Hill Origins is rumoured to be taking a similar path.

Indeed size does matter.... The size of the install base that is.... *groan*

Good news.

Thing is, every time they do this, I'm less and less inclined to actually go and buy a PSP. Ah well...

While I have a PSP I sort of agree, Killerbee. I always found it to be a useless concept because I don't want a portable PS2 with watered down PS2 games on it. This sort of just underlines how true that sentiment turned out to be, because these ports wind up being watered down PS2 games - literally.

I'd much rather have seen ALL of these PSP ports as PS2 games to begin with instead. Who knows, maybe Splinter Cell Essentials would've been half wortwhile then.

Good stuff, this was one the very few games tempting me to get a PSP.

SimonM7, you mean they literally took PS2 games and mixed them with water to dilute them? I'm literally astounded.

Oh, and Splinter Cell Essentials sounds like Sam Fisher's shampoo and conditioner range.

Stuff like this is good news for those of us without a PSP, but like others had said, it's slowly rendering the platform all but irrelevant for those who own both consoles.

If we can cherry-pick PSP games coming to the PS2, I'd quite like to see Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow please, Sony.

I couldn't get with the control system they had on the PSP. Hopefully this will have lock-strafe controls

Oooh, Silent Hill: Origins would be nice!

Although, gamestation have a listing for it on X-Box 360!

You know, that'd actually explain why they look like they do.

I love how they keep porting all the PSP-exclusive games to the PS2, therefore shrinking the library of must-have games that are only available on the PSP.

Keep killing your platforms Sony, you're really good at it.

Is it just me or is "Size Matters" quite short for a R&C-game? I'm not really sure that it's worth the money if you haven't yet played every single other game of the series ... twice. On the PSP as a budget title (hopefully soon), ok, but on the PS2?
