Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, Medievil 2 are the Latest Emulated Games to Join PlayStation Classics


PlayStation

has
announced
what
games
will
be
joining
its
PlayStation
Plus
Extra
catalogue
this
month,
and
as
usual
the
list
also
includes
a
couple
of
classic
titles
being
added
to
Premium.

First
up,
we’re
getting
an
old-school
adventure
in
the
form
of
Indiana
Jonest
and
the
Staff
of
Kings.
This
classic
Indy
game
was
developed
by
LucasArts
and
came
to
PlayStation
2
back
in
2009
where
it
was
recieved
with
fairly
middling
reviews.

Like
previous
emulated
release,
this
version
contains
some
notable
upgrades.

“Indiana
Jones
and
the
Staff
of
Kings,
originally
released
in
2009
on
PlayStation
2,
takes
you
on
a
perilous,
around-the-world
quest
for
the
staff
of
Moses.
This
classic
third-person
action
adventure
has
been
enhanced
with
up-rendering,
rewind,
quick
save,
and
custom
video
filters.
Grab
your
whip
and
get
ready
for
a
thrilling
journey
in
true
Indiana
Jones
tradition.”

Presumably
Indiana
Jones
and
the
Staff
of
Kings
was
chosen
as
a
way
to
tie-in
with
the
recent
release
of

the
excellent
Indiana
Jones
and
the
Great
Circle
,
which
will
come
to
PS5
this
year.

The
other
game
joining
the
service
is
Medievil
2.
The
first
game
was,
of
course,
released
in
remastered
form
a
while
back,
so
it’s
nice
to
see
the
sequel
become
more
readily
playable,
even
if
it
isn’t
getting
the
full
remaster
treatment.

“The
sequel
to
MediEvil
released
on
the
original
PlayStation
in
2000.
In
this
new
and
improved
version,
featuring
up-rendering,
rewind,
quick
save,
and
custom
video
filters,
you’ll
have
to
challenge
the
powers
of
darkness
and
untold
magic
as
Sir
Daniel
Fortesque
returns
from
the
grave
to
thwart
an
evil
sorcerer’s
plans.
Arm
yourself
with
a
mighty
arsenal
of
weapons,
including
swords,
daggers,
crossbows,
hammers,
and
even
the
occasional
chicken
drumstick.
Solve
fiendish
puzzles
and
riddles,
face
ghoulish
enemies
that
will
strike
fear
into
the
bravest
of
souls,
all
of
it
set
to
a
spine-tingling
soundtrack.”

As
per
usual,

the
official
blog
post

is
missing
a
couple
of
details.
First,
Trophy
support
isn’t
mentioned.
This
has
varied
quite
a
bit
from
release
to
release.
It’s
fairly
safe
to
assume
Medievil
2
will
have
full
Trophy
support
as
all
the
other
PlayStation
first-party
titles
have
benefited
from
it.
Indiana
Jones,
however,
is
more
uncertain.

And
secondly,
the
post
does
not
confirm
if
the
two
games
will
be
available
to
purchase
separately
or
if
they
will
only
be
available
through
a
Premium
subscription.
Again,
this
has
varied
in
the
past.
