Me too. Would be nice.
But I can't get out of my head that these will be all new file dumps where the previous Classics are not compatible or something lol

Vita games have usage of the back touchpad as well as the touchscreen, camera etc so probably not that straightforward to deal with those features that aren't present on a Dualsense.
Does it not feel kind of weird that the most significant part of the announcement is the least explained? Even from Jim's comments it seems like he doesn't fully understand what they're offering yet either.

Yeah, it's easily the most annoying thing as well. A lot of the vitriol on the announcement would've been curbed if they had given even a taste of what titles are coming.
The emulation is good to great on most titles. Some of them have some input latency added depending on the settings you have for smoothing and such (some more than others) but they're good enough for most of the catalog. My only real "problem" is that some of them, specifically KOF2000 and a few others, have some nasty glitches when played on a PS5. That and we got next to nothing here in the US compared to what Japan got.
It certainly made the announcement fairly non-exciting.
The addition of classic games is the new part and, like you said, that's the least explained. Everything else is basically just normal PS+ and PS Now.
A list or some example classic games that we'll see returning to modern PlayStation would be the hype leader (for me at least!).
Yeah, this is going to make or break the service for me. Need the list of games, improvements (if any) and whether the list is static or will grow in the future.
Would also be great if you could buy them separately outside the service.

It's not optimal, but simply allowing Vita TV compatible titles would be a good start. There were a number of games that should've been compatible but weren't because the publisher (sometimes including Sony iirc) couldn't be bothered, but it'd be better than nothing.
PS3 games are streamed, so I don't think you should expect improvements.
I hope for CRT filter, better framerate, and them being playable outside sub.
PS TV plays most of them fine.
This announcement was a fumble IMO and they could have done a much better job here. My thinking is, they are trying to be vague and open ended due to the competition's service.
You're better off hoping Square Enix releases a Remastered FF13 Trilogy collection on PS5.
No one will care about the lack of details at announcement time once those details are actually out at whatever time in the future. It really doesn't make a difference if they have the details now. Once people are actually able to get the thing they will have all the details they want. This is just step 1 marketing of getting awareness and interest out. If anything the lack of details keeps you interested in following the news to get the details whenever they do come.
True, but that didn't stop Sony from implementing workarounds for PlayStation TV (analog stick controlled cursor to emulate touch controls). Camera is only used for a very small selection of titles and they could easily remove them from the white list.
I honestly think they want everyone to swallow the bad stuff first to drop the catalog on May.
Forgot about the PS TV. Thanks.
New here? The lack of details will be analyzed and scrutinized till the bitter end. There will be several threads asking the same questions for months lol
One of my issues is the sound in GTA 3 and Vice City popping a lot. I completed Dark Cloud with no issues though.
The PS3 games are streamed to you from literal PS3s. You're not getting any upgrades on those.
Why they haven't gotten in touch with the RPCS3 team yet is beyond me.
Would be great if they did it as some games got actual DS3 controls with PSTV. Killzone being a good example.
It's source-available, but it's licensed under GPLv2, so Sony likely won't take it (they tend to only take stuff that allows them to keep changes private, like MIT or BSD).
highly doubt it the whole point is to keep you subbed and reeled in
I just want more than what's already available on the PS3/Vita stores. Give us Shadow Hearts Covenant you cowards!
This is the thing I'm most interested in. I couldn't play them if they looked native. With Xbox style enhancements though it could be appealing.
Would be nice to have the xbox approach of being able to use our ps1 or ps2 games we already may have.
That too. Or I'm sure Cerny could even figure it out if they gave him the time and money lol
That's heartening to hear. Jury's still out on selection and buying things a la carte. We'll see what they have.
Classic PS games are the only incentive to subscribe to their higher PS Plus tier. Why would they sell those games separately? It's very unlikely.
Hopes:
- Realllly hoping that we can buy them separately without a sub.
- Fantastic 3rd party support (Atlus, Capcom, Konami)
- Emulation is good of course
- If they allow separate purchases, let me not have to buy the classics that I already bought on PS3
- FPS boost
- They somehow manage to get PS3 emulation working in the near future
I think this could backfire in terms of public perception, considering they've already re-sold those games individually, and just took away support for the modern digital licenses on their newer platforms. This wouldn't have any influence on new adopters, but for any of us who've been consistent customers over the years, it's not even THAT long since they were selling them on PSN.
I'm thinking that they will not be available to purchase simply due to the fact that Sony doesn't want to hear people screaming that their previous purchases should be brought forward.
Sure, I agree and that would be the ideal scenario. But they are locking access to these games behind a 20% premium, and it's the only reason for the top tier to exist.
The signals I'm getting is that they know only the most dedicated gamers are interested in these games, so they won't mind paying extra to access them.
EDIT: if it was the other way around, and classic games were offered in the second tier, and PS Now in the third one, I would agree that there's a plan to sell them separately.
They could price the games in such a way to promote the value of the subscription vs buying them outright. I think it could go either way.

They're streaming so I don't think we're going to see much there. PSnow pretty much has every PS3 title you'd expect outside stuff that used mandatory six-axis
It'll definitely be a balance since pricing higher than they were on PS3 or the PS2 on PS4 classics will be a hard sell if the extra features aren't there like trophies.
