Rugby 08 re-release on ps4 ???

[rugbykeano]

Just wondering if anyone has heard of a rugby 08 re-release on ps4?
I was curios as I've noticed they've been re-releasing a lot of titles recently through the ps4 store, so I google'd 'Rugby08 ps4' and the playstation website came up,
nothing exciting...

but then I noticed the controller they show on the page is a ps4 controller??

am I jumping to conclusions?

probably just an oversight by whoever designed the website as it has the PS2 logo at the top

Rugby 08 won't get re-released - when have we ever seen a remastered version of an old, date-specific sports title?

I wish this were true, but doubt it is possible as EA no longer has any of the licenses required to do a "re-release". This is probably why you haven't seen many sports titles made backward compatible for xbox one either. Only NBA Jam apparently because EA still has NBA License as it's not exclusive.

Shame, but I understand more everyday why people go to "unsavory" routes to play these classic games.

Pretty sure you just jumped into conclusions there.

Sure since the site been done up since release the ps4 controller is like that on all the games.
