As a game developer, I — and I genuinely mean this — really have to admire Capcom’s business strategy. Over the past decade, the gaming giant has managed to navigate some rather choppy waters; on the whole, games have become more and more expensive to produce, and with large swaths of gamers’ time being devoted to a small number of live service titles, it’s harder than ever to stand out and actually turn a profit, particularly in the triple-A space. Capcom’s solution has been simple: balance their release schedule with a mix of new entries in long-running franchises with remasters and re-releases of older titles. It’s a strategy that probably won’t change anytime soon. Still, in an age where a sizable chunk of Capcom’s back catalog is playable on modern hardware, one cult classic remains nowhere to be seen: Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

Amidst a Sea of Re-Releases and Ports, One Capcom Classic Remains Locked Behind Aging Hardware

In an age where most video games tend to get ported or remastered at some point, there’s a dizzying array of PS2 games that still haven’t been released on modern platforms, even if they were released on other platforms at the time. In a couple of rare cases as well, they’ve been available on PC at some point but are now extremely difficult to find and make work, or have been delisted entirely. With that out of the way, let’s take a look at 10 PS2 games that are regrettably stuck on old hardware.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Most who actually love gaming, rather than the tribalism that comes with it, will admit that the 'Console Wars' are silly and childish. To breathe life into them ever-slightly, it's fair to say that on the grand scale of things, PlayStation is usually the company among the big three that tends to come out on top more often than not, with the biggest swaying factor being the long list of PlayStation exclusives over the years.
