A quick look over at the official PEGI site shows that they have recently rated a few upcoming PSN games, and gave them the go ahead for a European release. The likes of Cool Boarders 3 and Destruction Derby 2 are there, but if you are anything like me, then it should be the reveal of a possible release of Vib Ribbon on PSN that will get you the most excited.

Completely freakin' awesome. Now we just need a US release. Make it happen, Sony!

its a shame its just a psone port, instead of a cheapo HD remake working with the mp3's stored on the HD......i think ?

I really have no idea what the fuck Vib Ribbon is about, but I've heard so many people talk about it (without grasping the concept) I'll probably buy it just for the sake of it.

EU not NA :(

yeah, while im happy that they are putting it on PSN, a version that would let you use MP3s would have been beyond amazing.

The day this is made available for d/l in the US, I will buy a PS3.

Awesome! One of my favourite PS1 games, I still have a copy sealed :D

Soooooo good.

Yeah, I already stated it in the PSN topic. Quite awesome, although it would've been better if it indd used MP3's. Hopefully it does use CD's though, since I have a lot.

Also, Cool Boarders 3, Destruction Derby 2 and Namco Musuem Volume 1 have all been rated by the PEGI. So expect them sometime in the coming weeks.

WOW thats awesome - if they add mp3 support it would be awesome +20!

day1 - will buy.

So uh...when is that subscription thing coming out again?

I never noticed that in the PEGI list at all Pac-Man (1980), Rally-X (1980), New Rally-X (1981), Galaga (1981), Pole Position (1982), Bosconian (1981) and Toy Pop (1986) would all be worth all be worth a play in my opinion!

lol audio CD's

oddly enough, if I were to get this game, it'd probably be the first time I've played an audio CD in almost a year :lol

Of course, if it's hacked/remade to support mp3's...then right on.

Release this in the U.S., for Christ's sake.

Le proof, and yes, I know it's in Dutch. :D

because the clearance came with 3 other psone games leading me to believe that this will simply be an update to the psone roster on the network.

i would absolutely love to be wrong though :D

There's some other interesting stuff on the PEGI site that's not been released (in Europe) on the store yet as far as I know:

Kurushi Final
Ridge Racer
Ridge Racer Type 4
Motortoon Grand Prix
Motortoon Grand Prix 2
Tekken 2
Tekken 3
Wip3out
Wipeout 2097

Yeah, but...

Asked whether the original game would come out as a downloadable PSOne game through the PlayStation Network, or if he owned the IP, Matsuura replied, "No, and no. [The IP is] unfortunately owned by Sony. But currently Sony is a little open with treatment of IPs, so if I get a lot of money, I can buy it from Sony."

In that interview he said a downloadable PSOne game would NOT be coming. So what happened? He's unlikely to buy the IP from Sony, especially now he's working on a Wii title with Rodney Greenblat. I guess it didn't work out... unfortunate, because an MP3-driven Vib Ribbon would have been godly.

There may be a technical limitation in the way .mp3s are encoded as far as interpreting the sound waves.

Are PSone games with redbook audio encoded as .mp3? It would make sense to make the download shorter- if the emulator is already tooled to recieve .mp3 it might not be such a problem. That said if it was compatible then it would potentially break the original CD functionality which was the main draw of the game.

I doubt I'd buy it unless I could use music from my hard drive and discs.

I remember two summers ago trying to get my friend's PAL version working on my modded US PS2 -- no go.

Vib Ribbon is a truly awesome game, and I've kinda classified it with Rez, Parappa, Amplitude and Frequency in terms of classic music titles. If it comes to the US, I'll snag it in a heartbeat.

I had no idea either untill I saw someone post this tutorial of Vib Ribbon on another thread, and I must admit, I was somewhat stunned, in a positive way. It looks like a title I will pick up when I eventually get a PS3.

MotorToon GP!!!

The father of Gran Turismo. I shit you not XD

US Dudes, is game sharing still working? Even though I have this on Disc I would gladly "help a brother out" with some hot game sharing action.

Think about it Sony! You could have the coolest visualizer known to man... or... two of the coolest visualizers known to man.

I need a damn PSP already.

The ease and access of mp3s would make this sweet as hell, but you could still take all your legal mp3s and burn them down to a CD and put that in and play off it. So it's an extra step, but still possible.

I have always wanted to play Vib Ribbon, I love the music which I attained through less than legal means, and want it in NA!

Vib Ribbon has probably the most charming intro/tutorial ever.

Ridge racer type 4 still holds its own, been replaying it on ps2 and I still love that game :D

you can play burned cds on your PS3? I thought it didnt accep that stuff. I am really judging all this because my original Xbox would only read CDs that were burned on rewritable discs, which was annoying.

We need Vib Ribbon on PSP supporting MP3s. :(

I already own 2 copies of Vib. One in the original "fat" box, and another the greatest hits slim box.

And yes, Laugh & Peace are the best game soundtrack band ever or something.

PSP remake with MP3/AAC support would be hot sex.

At this point, though, I'd settle with the original PS1 game coming to the U.S. as a downloadable, however, so that I don't have to hook up my PS2 to play my Japanese copy.

If Nintendo can release Sin And Punishment on the US Virtual Console and get kudos for it, then Sony should by all means take the hint and give us old PS games that never saw the light of day here. It's a trend I can get behind. :D

Never pld Vib Ribbon, will definitely get it when it comes out on PSN.

I hate this game. Causes a migraine in 30 seconds or your money back!

I bet it wont. They would need to rewrite part of the code so that it goes seraching for MP3 files or whatever on a Mem Stick rather than on a CD.

It might work the old way (reading tracks from audio CD) on the PS3 tho.

Seems like Klonoa can be added to this pack as well :D :D !!

yes.

walking by the ribbon,
luck is on my side,
rain drops falling on me,
i have no umbrella...

the game was worth the money if only for the fact that the songs are on it in cd audio.

Walking by the ribbon...... such a happy time :).

One of my all time favourites.

I would SO buy it.

I have the game (UK) but always found it a bit hard and not fun to actually play compared to other Rythm games like parappa.

Fantastic concept and music though.

great! now tell me when the PSN cards will actually be available.

Oh shit, always wanted this one.

One step at a time. Sony still needs to release PS1 games on a consistent basis first.

Yay I can cry at the ending again :D

Hot Sex.

And my New Year's resolution to buy no more PS1-games from PSN goes right out the window...
