Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
I hope it will be as easy to add games to as the (S)NES, but I fear it won’t be.
Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
Destruction Derby, Assault Riggs, Distruptor, F1, Tekken, Doom, Nuclear Strike, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Actua Soccer are some of the games I associate with those early PS1 days - that I had.
I appreciate the system won’t have all of those games but they’re the sort of titles I associate with those early heady Playsation days.

I’m mainly thinking Gran Turismo here. How well did Ridge Racer 4 work on digital dpad? I think I only ever played that with the NegCon.

As well as its predecessors did, although it was nice with the DS.

Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
Does anyone genuinely want to play PS1 Gran Turismo now? I think it has aged to a point of obselescence for most.
Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
I recently replayed a good few hours of it emulated on my phone with my DS4 pad. It still plays like a dream. The graphics aren't as good as today's racers sure, but the game is as fun as any of the later additions to the series. I still think GT2 is my favorite racing game of all time.ratsoalbion wrote: ↑September 19th, 2018, 1:54 pm Does anyone genuinely want to play PS1 Gran Turismo now?

Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
In other news, I've recently found myself really wanting to replay the Assassins Creed series and never played any of the most recent games at all. What excellent timing then to find a fantastic Ubisoft sale on the PSN store. The Ezio Trilogy and Black Flag come to £22 I think overall. Bargain! I need to wait till pay day, but fortunately the sale goes till 2nd October. That's me sorted for a few months! Good deals on some of their other games, too.

Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
Just pre-ordered one on Amazon on the basis I can cancel (or sell) it if I don’t fancy the 15 games not announced yet. Not entirely sure why because my PS3 is still set up and all my PS1 games are stored next to it, but I’m a sucker for these things and after waiting two years to finally get hold of a NES Classic Mini I don’t want to risk missing out again.

Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
My main question aside from "what's the lineup?" (*crosses fingers for Twisted Metal World Tour*) is whether this thing will have 'authentic' ie slow load times? I'm guessing not as it isn't disc-based?
Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
Ah just thought, it definitely won't have Ape Escape
Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
Hmm... I've noticed that there are loading screens with current PSone games on PSN, so maybe?KissMammal wrote: ↑September 19th, 2018, 11:23 pm My main question aside from "what's the lineup?"

I've kinda pre-ordered... I know myself tooooooo well.
I still buy PS1 disc's, usually for my Japanese PS1. Sure, there's my treasured Dodonpachi, but there's also titles like Densha De Go! and Jet De Go!, titles that definitely won't be on the PlayStation Classic! There's plenty of little games out there that didn't come westwards, more curiosities than anything else.
Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
Even completely digital games still have to load. I've noticed it's a lot quicker than if you were playing on original hardware, though.Joshihatsumitsu wrote: ↑September 20th, 2018, 11:42 amHmm...

Knowledge is Power (PS Plus bonus – PlayLink)
Master Reboot (PS3)
The Bridge (PS3, PS4, PS Vita)
Rocketbirds 2: Evolution (PS Vita, PS4)

Well, that's another month down. Not sure I'll ever renew at this rate!

Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
So much for the rumours eh?
Laser League is pretty excellent it should be said, a sort of fusion of Tron, Bomberman and Windjammers.

Re: The Sony news and discussion thread
Yeah I did always fancy that, but not worth a whole subscription really. I'm a little disappointed how much they seem to be focusing on online multiplayer games. I'm just not that interested and much prefer a good single player story based game. I'll resub at some point, but at the moment don't feel like I'm missing out. If anything, it'll probably be the games already in my library I'm resubbing for - MGS V, Just Cause 3 and Until Dawn are three that spring to mind I'd like to get through at some point.
Which games were being rumoured then?
