The recently-revealed Vanquish is apparently coming to PS3, if Sega documents dated back to last year are any indication.

The leaked meeting minutes said last September:

"Vanquish and Aliens: CM

"Opportunity for PS3/PSP interoperability (see Eidos Batman, Army of Two, Assassin's Creed for good examples).

"If we offer that SCEA would be really interested in having us at their booth next E3."

The Platinum-developed game, being worked on in collaboration with Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, was announced on Friday to be the next title from the Bayonetta developer.

The Sega documents also pointed at Dreamcast and PS2 titles appearing on PSN.

From GAF, via SCRAWL.

It includes this:

PS2 emulator for PS3 (confidential)

  • SCEA wants to sell all PS2 titles on PSN (GTA Vice City/Sonic/etc)
  • For co Marketing money show PS3 controller on TV ads – similar to EA Madden Spots, NCAA, etc…

And this:

DC Digital Titles

  • If we provide a list of DC titles SCEA will let us know which ones they're interested in having exclusively.
  • If we give them a long period of exclusivity they'll give us more marketing support.

I know someone bumped the old topic but it's filled with 5 pages of crap, think this deserves it's own topic. Time to sell those fat PS3s before their value plummets ;)

"DC Digital Titles

Surely if there's the possibility of them being exclusive, then it can't be to do with backwards compatibility. By that I mean that if they can be exclusive then they can be non-exclusive, and that if they're non-exclusive it suggests they'll be available on the 360, which obviously won't have PS2 BC. Maybe they're just porting old Dreamcast games for the PSN downloads (like those small games you can get already, for example Flower) and for whatever the XBox equivalent is called.

The fact that it says 'PS2 emulator' gives me hope (Okami is my favourite ever game!), but I'm readying myself for the disappointment of a 'SEGA PlayStation 2 emulator!' :(

Not had chance to read it all, but is this emulation apparently 'only' on Slims or something then?

Just realised what AB was getting at, the BC Phat PS3's was wondering why my non BC one would plummet. I'm really not with it today, maybe I should have taken another day off from work!

I still don't get the fat PS3 comment. Why do I need to sell my fattie?

You don't need to but it seems PS2 BC through software is going to be coming back and one reason fats sell so well right now is due to their BC.

Ah, now I understand! I have a fat that is not BC with PS2. Hopefully the software emulation will work on mine still. +1 to you for clarifying.
