[Gavin Stevens]

Actually a damn fine list, i have to say!

 

[Vawn]

That's a solid list. I didn't know if they'd be able to get some of those.

 

[stargateheaven]

Would prefer RE2 instead of 1 since we'll never play that version in HD now. but still pretty good.

 

[GenericUser]

Fuck, no RE2

EDIT: preorder cancelled, the PS1 had much better titles to choose from.

 

[TLZ]

Not bad, not bad. That's a good variety.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Gues I'll finally get to play MGS 1 and then MGS 2&3 HD.

 

[Bullet Club]

Yeah, RE2 would have been better than RE1 and Destruction Derby 2 over DD1 would have been good as well. I still like the list of games though. Really wasn't expecting to see Revelations: Persona.

 

[Iaterain]

I'm more disappointed than pleased.
There are some great classic games but there are also many titles I've never heard of or don't care about.
p.s. Also surprised that there is no Crash Bandicoot/Spyro the dragon/Resident Evil II and III/ Final Fantasy VIII and IX/Tomb Raider/Silent Hill/Tony Hawk's Pro SKater and many other iconic PSOne games on the list. Maybe I was keeping my expectations too high...

 

[FranXico]

It's actually an alright list...

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

They added the Revelations? Risky move I don't think new Atlus people would even like oldschool Persona.

 

[Vawn]

Resident Evil 1 is one of my favorite games ever. It's probably my most replayed game ever and says "PS1" to me more than any other game except maybe FFVII.

 

[radewagon]

Why would I want to play MGS without a Dual Shock?
I unno, guys.... this is a very "meh" list. The only saving grace, at this point, is the possibility of adding more games via hacking.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Pretty solid list, not all the same type of game which is good

 

[trickyaudio]

Top down GTA. Oh yes lads.

 

[ShirAhava]

Persona Revelations was my first jrpg shocked its on here! Now I HAVE to get this!

Oddworld and Rayman but no Klonoa??? LAME

Mr Driller AND Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo? did we really need BOTH of these?

Jumping Flash gets old really fast...IMO

Rest of the list is GREAT

Until someone finds a way to put Mega Man X 4 and Symphony of the Night on it then forget it.

 

[Pallas]

They added the Revelations? Risky move I don't think new Atlus people would even like oldschool Persona.

Kind of surprised that they picked that one and not P2:EP, the first Persona was fun but it didn’t age well before the PSP remake.

 

[Supreme Allah]

Some people said in the other thread that GTA was impossible.

Lack of Gran Turismo is weird tho.

 

[gloone]

I'm more disappointed than pleased.
There are some great classic games but there are also many titles I've never heard of or don't care about.

Alot of those titles pretty much require a analog stick. Others are or have been released as remasters. One is not even a Playstation game.

 

[DemiFiend_]

They added the Revelations? Risky move I don't think new Atlus people would even like oldschool Persona.

Revelations is the Americanized localisation of P1 right?

 

[DonF]

Damn, now that's a curated and representative fine list.

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Let’s be honest guys, if you don’t like it... I’m pretty sure that after a short time it will be hackable, like the SNES and NES mini.

Sony will purposely make it hackable, mark my words. You won’t be able to just stick a cable in and do it instantly and easily, but they won’t lock it down.

Financially they will see that there’s mor chance to sell this if people know they can use it however they want, compared to Iocking it down. They would never admit that, mind you. Piracy is bad. But they know they can make money that way.

What’s a bigger issue however is how duel shock pad, so no sticks... that sucks

 

[Fox Mulder]

Better than I was expecting honestly.

Huge omissions due to licensing and third parties owning games. Stuff like Tony Hawk and Gran Turismo was never going to happen. Activision has every reason to hold Spyro and Crash off given the remake collections.

Hopefully is gets hacked and can swap out some games at least. Like who wants Twisted Metal over Twisted Metal 2?

 

[cm osi]

mediocre. i rather have them on ps4 rather than those mini consoles

 

[RoboFu]

Mostly filler but mgs and cool boarders 2 are solid gets.

I mean beyond what was already listed at announcement.

 

[Supreme Allah]

MGS2 is a PS2 game.

 

[cireza]

Not that great of a list if you ask me.

Is this supposed to summarize the "greatness" of the entire PS1 lifespan ?

I simply see a list of 20 games that Sony managed to get the rights for with a minimal effort, that are not even the best in their respective series.

 

[Secret_Lover]

Too bad about no Brave Fencer Musashi, but Revelations: Persona is rad.

 

[Sub_Level]

PS1 "classic"

>No tomb raider
>No gran turismo

Okey dokey

 

[Impotaku]

As someone who loved the weird & quirky games this "classic" lineup is trash, so they have total shit like toshinden in there but parappa is left out err ok lets fill it with the dross that populates the boring uk mainstream top ten. Suprised they didn't just give it 20 versions of fifa & be done with it.

Betta pray that thing can be hacked as that built in selection will not get me to part with £89

 

[Ar¢tos]

No Final Fantasy Tactics or Chrono Cross...

 

[evanft]

I feel like you're better off spending $100 on some PSone classics for PS3/PSP/Vita.

 

[Zog]

Wow, this list sucks pretty bad. No wonder they waited so long to reveal it.

 

[LordRaptor]

For the authentic Euro experience, it should only work upside down, and the first game people hack onto it should be Thrill Kill

 

[Cybrwzrd]

I think the only reason I would buy this would be to load roms of PS1 titles not available on PSN, such as Working Designs games and the like. I have nearly every game on that list already on my PSTV and I already don't play them.

 

[Codes 208]

I was hoping for classic crash and spyro. Also no RE2? The rest of the list is mixed with meh and average for me (besides gta and rayman.) So Ill pass for now. Wake me when they announce a ps2 classic

 

[sublimit]

I think Sony's tastes differ greatly than mine. Still i'll probably buy it for memorabilia/nostalgia reasons even though i still have my original PS1.

 

[Orta]

Intelligent Qube (think it was called Kurushi here in PAL land) is a great puzzler. Would have loved Kula World on there too.

I really, really hope this little box can be hacked.

 

[BONDO]

Eh its ok.
Would have preferred Twisted Metal 2 over 1....1 was meh
Gran Turismo
Tenchu
Dino Crisis
Tomb Raider

 

[Kazza]

I feel like you're better off spending $100 on some PSone classics for PS3/PSP/Vita.

I opted for a Saturn rather than a PS One that gen (I regret nothing!), so I'm quite interested in this. Are there any games on this list which aren't already available on PSN via PS3, PSP or Vita?

 

[Zog]

Some of my favorites would have been Final Fantasy Tactics, Chrono Cross, Any Crash game, Any Spyro game, Grandia, Lunar SSSC, NFL Blitz, Any Gran Turismo and many more that aren't on this list.

Before anyone tells me that some of these require the analog stick, not including the analog stick was a mistake on Sony's part. I can't imagine what they were thinking. Maybe they are planning a Model 2 with a proper controller (just 1 no doubt) and better games in a year.

 

[Griffon]

No Wipeout, no Tomb Raider, no GT, no Silent Hill, no Tenchu, no Castlevania SOTN, no Legacy of Kain.

wut.

 

[DeepEnigma]

That is actually a decent list. For a console that has so many greats, you are not going to be able to get them all in, but they have a great mix of genres.

 

[InterMusketeer]

I'm not interested in playing most of these, so I'm fine with skipping.

 

[Vitacat]

Very good list. There are so many good PS1 games, so you're never going to choose 20 that pleases everyone, but I think they did a great job of balancing a variety of genres.

 

[Geki-D]

No Wipeout, no Tomb Raider, no GT

Very odd these games aren't there, GT & Wipeout are first party so I don't see why not. No Spyro or Crash too, those are some pretty important PSX games. it's a shame SH isn't there but they can't have everything. TW2 & RE2 would have been better choices considering their popularity even though I prefer RE1.

 

[kunonabi]

Persona is a welcome surprise and nice for people who have only played that piece of shit PSP remake. Not too many stinkers in the lot. I'm not buying one but it is a good selection.

 

[Acidizer]

Top down GTA. Oh yes lads.

GOURANGA!

 

[cireza]

PS1 has an amazing Doom port.
PS1 has Symphony of the Night.
And honestly, a 2D Fighter would have been nice. Darkstalkers 3 or Real Bout Dominated Mind, for example.

Who is going to play the first Toshinden ? This game has aged awfully. The second game was much better, and probably the best of the series. Would have been a much better pick.

Rainbow Six on PS1 ? lol...

No Tomb Raider ?
